Gentlemen, Your info is very incouraging. I will give them a call on Monday. A few weeks ago I was teaching my son-in-law to reload. The handle fell out. After carefullly inspecting it I realized it broke off at the threads. I continued to use it until a couple days ago. With less holding...

I bought an RCBS press when I was twenty-six years old. The hanle portion broke the other day. How longis the warentee?

THOMAST, Hopefully your question is not limited to hunting with them. I shot lots of the 130 grain 7MM (28" barrel) and the 265 grain .375s (28" barrel). The first three shot group from my .375-.416 Rem Mag at 100 yards was 1/16". I shot another and the group opened up to 5/16" and one more...

redbank, I read a report by someone who did some testing in both hand gun and rifle. The fellow started with a long barrel and began to cut them off. He concluded that the highest velocity produced in the long barrel produce the highest velocity in the short barrel. I like to test things so...

abinok, I used cow once. I added the weight of the cow to the bullet weight to determine the powder charge. I was a carefully weighed out a light load of powder. I used a hammer to open the bolt. The case head had expanded .017"! You read that right. The chamber was bulged. The gun smith...

Roy in Idaho, The case is a .416 Rem Mag necked to .375. The rifle is a, don't laugh, 28" K14 Klienguenther.

Here, my .com friends is some fun reading. There might even be some good info scattered here and there. 101 water filled milk jugs were blasted. Valid or not, it was fun. I got the idea from Cliff who does one or two occationally. I decided to spend the whole day doing it. The following...

Well, boys, out there in .com land I need, or at least want, some ballistic coefficient info. First the rambling. Today I fire formed two boxes of 7MM STW using 130 grain G.S. Custom H.V. bullets. Two boxes of ammo were taken from the safe. One box was wrapped in a couple of towels and put...

Lonnie, Hopefully this is on topic. In my 28" Douglas 7-.300 Weatherby I got 3,525 feet per second with 150 Nosler Balistic Tips. It used 85 grains of IMR7828. With 80 grains of H4831 and 77 grains of IMR4350 it achieved 3,400 fps.

While doing a 2,000 round test with a Savage .223, I discovered the best accuracy was .015" off the rifling. Best group was .550" at 300 yards with Nosler 55 Balistic Tips. Typical was 7/8" ten shot group at 200 yards. Just for general info, I discovered .021" of throat errotion during the...

remingtonman_25_06, Although this info is not using the RUM case, it's an example of side by side comparison with ammo from the same box in two barrels. I have a 26" Savage which used to be a Swift; although I reamed it before firing it with a carbide .220 Extremist. The other was cut with...

urbaneruralite, Seeing the impact is part of my fun while hunting or shooting varmints. My 8 1/2 pound 7STW has a home made brake. It was tested on a recoil slide once each without, with a brake from Brownells and my brake. Without it produceded 27 1/16" of free recoil travel. With the...
