    Greetings All, I really believe that whether you are destined to be a handloader is dertermined at conception. If we are handloaders then there is no point in fighting it as it is our destiny....

    Greetings alanimal, The components that go into a handload all vary as do the rifles that they are fired in. Generally data for pressure tested loads will show similar top velocities but sometimes...

    Moa Hunter liked post by grandpamac On thread : New powder time
    Greetings Sideshow, Of the three powders you mention I would favour the N150 as it is the only one of the three powders that there seems to be factory data for the 7x57. That is just me though and...

    dannyb liked post by grandpamac On thread : Leaver action black magic/ dark arts
    Yes there will be a bit more bullet jump but the blunt projectiles are pretty tolerant and usually shoot well seated away from the rifling. Crimp variation would be a bigger factor. Even with the Lee...

    Greetings Tertle, Assuming that the loads shown in the pic are yours I would try seating the projectles a little deeper so the case mouth is in the middle of the crimping groove. I would also ensure...

    caberslash liked post by grandpamac On thread : Seating depth tolerances
    Unlikely to make much difference. Projectiles in the same box are made in different dies so they all vary slightly so you are likely to get minute differences between rounds regardless. I assume that...
