I'm new to reloading been at it for a year. I've been on a quest to build a 7prc that can produce 2950-3000fps velocity launching a 180g + bullet.
I think I'm there with my build but wanted some advice/guidance on over pressure.
My current load is as follows
once fired Weatherby 7prc brass

I'm working on a target load for my 308.
I've access to a 600 yard range and from time to time I can shoot past that at my friends property.
My goal is a load that allows me to practice beyond max range with my woods hunting rifle. Its O.A.L is less than a yard stick the barrel is 16.5" and it...
Hello, I’m reloading for my 300prc, laupa brass, GM215M primers, Barnes LRX 208gr and H1000 powder. I’m getting great groups (under half inch 5 shot groups) for the most part some around 3/4 of an inch but all well under MOA. I’ve always looked for SD under 10 but I’m getting 15-17 fps for SD...
I had an issue while working up a load that I've never come across and thought I'd ask for some help.
I am using new Hornady brass and Barnes 168 TTSX bullets for my 300 WSM
I am full length resizing with a lee die.
I am using imperial wax
I resized the brass, measured length was right and...
Lately, I’ve been using a Redding body die to bump my shoulders and I then follow up with a Lee collet neck sizer for my brass prep. Works well…until this morning. I had the collet starting to stick. I disassembled the die, cleaned it, applied a little Imperial Sizing Wax on the collet for...
Friends,
I was black pilled by the "Your Groups are Two Small Hornaday" podcast series. I have a long set of notes on their points and how they relate to at least my reloading journey (I'm a beginner). For this post, it suffices to say that I'm looking at inferential statistical methods to tell...
Hi everyone.
I am new to reloading I got a setup about two weeks ago and have loaded 150rds and don't have any real "issues" I get pretty darn consistent velocity and am not seeing any loss in accuracy compared with most match grade loads so I know I am doing it "right" but I also know I can do...
My primary goal in annealing is to get consistent full length sizing. What I have noticed with certain sets of brass is that after annealing 70% of cases will be +/- .0005" of my target. 15% will be stubborn and not size and 15% will under size by .002-.004.
As an experiment I kept annealing...
Has anyone use Ginex LRP in an magnum cartridges? I have a 300WSM and 7mm REM MAG and not finding any magnum primers for them, but I keep coming across Ginex
Hey everybody, I wanted to start this thread to see everyone’s load development method(s) and what works for them. I’ve tried many methods including OCW, modified versions of OCW, the “Satterlee” method, my own version of both combined, and I’ve witnessed shooting buddies performing long range...
My next build will be a 7 SAUM around the 143g Hammer Hunter bullet.
If you are shooting a 7 SAUM with a 21-22in barrel please share your velocity, powder and bullet weight.
I am looking at having a custom rifle built and am trying to decide on a caliber and barrel length to go with. I am wanting to build a lightweight rifle and also want to run a suppressor. I am between 2 calibers right now but am open to suggestions. I also plan on reloading for whichever...
So I'm just wondering if anyone has seen any info about the new 8.6 blackout round. Been looking for info and load data for it and nothing so I figured I'd ask the loading braniacs on this forum beacuse if anyone can help with that info I know it's you guys..look foreward to hearing from you!
I want to try some staball in my 300 WSM but don't have any magnum primers to spare so I was hoping to solicit any anecdotes that folks have running standard primers (either CCI 200 or 210m's) with staball in a WSM sized cartridge. I've been launching 212 ELDX's with CCI 200's and H4831 and it's...
For Sale or Trade: 90 pieces of 45-90 brass reformed to 40-82 brass, once fired. I will trade for the same amount of 45-90 brass. If you would like to purchase, it is $1 per piece of brass or $90 shipped to buyer.
Looking for a little help here from you guys. Bought some Peterson 300WM Long brass. Was going to start loading them and upon measuring the inside neck dia. I found they are between .302 and .3035. That seems like way to much neck tension to me. I was expecting to put about .002 on it.
I will...
