Re: Loading .357.....need help JGorski, I think that if what I supposed was, in fact, the issue, then a "hotter" load, ie. a heavier charge such as your 20 gn, would solve the problem. I just didn't feel, with my lack of experience and familiarity with .357 loads, I could recommend that with...

Re: Pressure Signs On These Case Heads? I see ejector marks on all three. I was wondering if the brassing was caused by machine marks imprinting on the head, but on further thought and inspection, it looks like the brass smear perfectly corresponds to the ejector position. The brass moves...

Re: Loading .357.....need help Hodgdon's 20012 Annual Manual uses a "Winchester SPM" primer. The article starting on page 56 states that W296 and H110 are the same.

Re: Loading .357.....need help Isn't that powder the same as H110? If it is, there are some peculiarities with it that deserve consideration. Namely, it is prone to detonation particularly with light loads. Hence, the narrow spread between min. and max. charges. I notice that the Midway...

I cannot scan all of my targets in a single scan, but any subsequent scans open in a new project. How do I get all my targets entered into one project. I am trying to do OCW with ten targets fired. It seems there should be a way for me to scan each target individually and then use them all in...

I am loading Varget in 308. The hotter loads per Nosler and others begin to fill more than 100%. I have my bullets loaded to max mag. length which is still well short of the lands so I've not smushed powder yet. My delema is that I've need for more powder but the die's instructions say not to...

Re: Prepping New Lapua Brass? What about neck chamfer?

I have a box of 100 .308 of which a representative sample seems very consistent in head space ( 0.002" +/- 0.0005" less than the measured rifle head space), and case length (2.007" +/- 0.0005"), the primer holes are not burred or flapped and the mouth even seems to have a slight inside chamfer...

Re: OCW test --- interpreting results Am I short on theory or are not 43.3, 43.9 and 45.1 the nodes, and if not over pressure, 45.1 is the desired OCW?
