    Greetings, From this post it sounds as though you may be using mixed brass in your loads. Different makes of brass can vary widely in weight and hence capacity. This will give different pressures...

    Greeting All, The day has finally arrived and I shot my first ever 600 yard shoot this morning with the 7mm-08. Didn't do too badly for a novice and an elderly one at that. Conditions were perfect,...

    Greetings, Agree with most of the above. To me it is a die adjustment issue. Your die may need to make firm contact with the shell holder to size the case, not just touch it. You seem to have two...

    Greetings, Several have suggested single shots and for a short rifle they have a lot to recommend them. They either are shorter with the same length barrel or can have a longer barrel for the same...

    Greetings johnd, Thanks for your reply. We had the same thing with self professed master hunters that seldom, if ever, showed up at NZDA shoots. Others that did show up did shoot well especially...

    And this is why it is not a good idea to use data that does not specify the actual projectile used. Two years later Hodgdons repeats the same data for H1000 (same powder with a new name) and shows it...

    Greetings again, A check of the Hodgdons on line data shows the same 160 grain data for H1000 (AR2217) and the 160 grain Nosler partition so there we have it. Both sets of data are relevant when you...

    Greetings, You wont regret it. The old 12 inch twist ones were great and the 8 inch twist ones are even better. I have not been without one for about 40 years and counting. Regards Grandpamac.

    I have never really taken to the .243 and have never owned one either. A 6mm Rem might have tickled my fancy but one has never come up. Some now chamber their .243 rifles with 8 inch twists which...

    I had loaded 26 grains of AR2206 behind the 55 grain in my old Brno .223 for years. This gave around 3,200 fps with its long and worn throat. When a new .223 appeared in the cupboard in 2005 a mid...

    Greetings, Definitely consider light handloads. Point of impact can vary widely with different sorts of ammo. If you handload I can suggest some lighter loads that I used in my steel butt No4. GPM.
