Would you be interested in a Guncrafter Model 3 50GI with a factory 45 ACP top end trade?

I really like the 155 Scenar's in my .308. My final load for my rifle was 46.4 grs. Varget. While safe in my rifle Please start lower & work up. Once I found the load I changed nothing but the brand of primers to do the final sorting @ 1,000 yards. Fed. 210's held the best "waterline" for...

I made a wildcat called a 300xr which is a slightly improved, long neck 300 Norma Mag. I had excellent speed & accuracy using RL 50 for bullets 208 grs. & heavier. It worked so well that I didn't have a need or desire to try any other powders. I did buy some RL33 but never got around to using...

I am not quite sure what your question is about. Could you give me a little information or background. I may have gotten this by accident.

How do you suppose the factory gets the sizing lube off and manage to have the case and bullet all shiny & new looking?

These are the loads that I used in my rifle. Please start low & work up in your rifle. I have only used 180 gr. JLK bullets. Federal 215M were the primers that worked best for me with all loads. Once I would get a load that shot well @ 400 yards I would load test @ 1,000 yards to see which...

SwampLord, I am not ignoring you on the load data. I am actively searching for it. I thought that I knew exactly where I put it..............wrong. But I will find it & post it.

I currently have the 7xr barrel on the rifle. The 7xr has a little over 900 rds. on it. The bore scope shows about 1.750" of fire cracking. The first .750 is pretty deep. The good news is that it still shoots really well. This is the barrel that I did all the load development with. I am...

H4350 works very well. RL 17 works as does H4831SC & N160. For other powders you should consult Berger loading manual. Good info there.

148 gr. Hollow Base Wadcutter, any small pistol primer. 2.7 grs. Bullseye. Seat the bullet flush with the case mouth. Use a slight roll crimp & have a ball. Very accurate & low recoil for Mom & the kids. Semper Fi

Every barrel is different so they all have different maximum charges. I have had a "slow" lot 8 pounder of H4350 that took 39.9grs. DO NOT TRY THAT LOAD! before starting at 37.0 & working up. I think that you will find a sweet spot around 38.2grs. I have also had barrels that showed HIGH...

I have been shooting the 6xc for over 6 years. I have tried many many different powders. What I have learned is day in day out H43350 is THE powder for the 6xc. That is not to say that others won't work but H4350 is the best. Semper Fi

Lost Creek is right on the money

I have lots of 115 DTACS so I do not have a speed for the 105's. I have settled on 38.25 grains of H4350 with a 115 DTAC that has a 20 shot average speed of 2889 fps. I have faith in this load & just last weekend I managed a 7.125" & a 7.625" five shot groups @ 1000 yards which I am happy...

6xc is my favorite cartridge. I have used many different powders over the years in a 6xc. Year in year out H4350 is the winner for me. Just to be on the safe side start with 37.0 grs. & increase by .5 grain. A suggestion is to load one round at 37.0 & go up .5 grain to 39.0 grains. Shoot...
