    Buying and Shooting Ammo for the Brass

    How much shotgun powder will you use for that? I have some 308 Lapua brass that I will fire form with COW for my first time ever. I remember reading about one load of 15 grs of shotgun powder. What say you?

    Neck Sizing Vs. Full Length Sizing and Neck Tension

    I use RCBS too and all you have to do is adjust the die seating depth in your press. Reread very carefully the set up directions in the brochure that comes with your die. Using the die locking ring makes it very consistent and it will repeat exactly every time except when case lube builds up in...

    How to type ° while posting temperatures

    That's funny but I know why you guys get golf tee times by 0530; your irons are too hot to touch by 1100!

    Me too; ignored it for years before waking up and finding out the answer was right in front of me. It's hell to get old!

    How to type ° while posting temperatures

    Ha, I'm an illiterant puter guy so when I need help, I have to call my 12 year old grand daughter. Can't spell either so autocorrect screws up too many of my posts.

    How to type ° while posting temperatures

    max at 90* equals 90°. Just type in 90 in the normal way, then using the number keypad on the right side turn on the num lock, then press and hold the alt key while typing 0176 on the right side number keys, release the alt key, and there it will be. You can thank me later. I've been fighting...

    7mm Rem. Mag. and 180 grn. Bergers???

That's what I shoot seated to zero jump but with 63.4 grs of H4831 to get 2.7" group at 300. Don't know the fps, no chrono, but what load are you shooting and your jump if you don't mind? I'm...

    7mm max cream of wheat fire forming

    Great to have this chance to chat with you again. I have just now heard of this process so very unsure about it. I have Hodgdon Clays shotgun powder. So what about 15 grs of that? And just twist in the tissue paper till it fills the case mouth?

    7mm max cream of wheat fire forming

    Shotgun powder for my 7mm RM? I need more info on this. I have some 7 mag Nosler brass to fireform and I have about 4 lbs of Hodgdon Clays powder that I no longer use so it would be a great help to avoid wasting my H4831SC. And what's up with using a twist of toilet paper or cream of wheat as...

    7mm Rem Mag reloading starting point

    Thanks for the update. So no pressure problems with 68 grs? I've had some well before that high. Currently at 63.4 with 168 VLD's and am pretty happy with 2.7" group at 300 yards. My Win 70 7mm Rem Mag is just an off the rack gun with no tweaks except floating the barrel and bedding the action...

    7mm Rem Mag reloading starting point

    Sounds like my load but with 63.4 grains of H4831SC. 0.75 at 100 and 2.7 at 300. What's your max load you've tested with no pressure problems?
