Re: Precision Reloading Codes Thanks! Your signature is so funny...... and untrue!!

Re: Open your wallets... At the top of this forum.

Re: Anyone reloading Rem UMC TARGET .45? Can you? From the way I read it, the only difference is that it is nickel plated. I seriously doubt they would use berdan primers. I see absolutely no reason this cannot be reloaded. Even if it were berdan.

Re: 7mm Rem Mag Powder Input Sought I loaded up 5 each at 3.450" (touching lands) from 68gr to 69.4gr in .2gr increments all neck sized no crimp. Plan to hit the range today. BTW the .223 insert worked perfect. No marks on the bullet as well as no shaving of the bullet due to using the VLD...

Re: How to tell when you've found the "right powder" IMO you know you have the right powder when it gives you groups you are satisfied with. Varget is an outstanding powder that is temperature stable, accurate and my go to for .308. H335 is good too, but I like powders that fill the case as...

Re: 7mm Rem Mag Powder Input Sought I loaded 49 rds as mentioned and one was a dummy round that I used to measure distance to the lands. That partiicular case had a groove on the shoulder so I wouldn't have loaded it anyway as it was a good candidate for a failure. My ultimate goal is...

Re: 7mmRM. Bullets? Powders? Factory Remy. For your twist you can either call Remington or another way is by using a cleaning rod. This can be done from the breech or muzzle end. I will give you muzzle end directions. Put a jag and patch or bore mop on your cleaning rod and insert in the...

Re: 7mmRM. Bullets? Powders? Factory Remy. I am desiring the same and have been playing with the Berger 168 VLD hunting projos for 7mm RM. It has the same BC as the target VLD and is supposed to be devastating on game. All the energy is dumped in the animal. My rifle is an SPS DM 26"...

Re: What bullets are your favorite for target .308 WIN 178gr AMAX over 44gr Varget .010" off the lands of my model 10 1:10 twist.

Re: .308 crimped primers and decaping pins? LEE all the way. FAR less broken pins with their collet system.

Re: corrosive ammo sucks I agree corrosive SUCKS!!!!!! Been down that road. Never again!

Re: Full length sizing the 50 BMG When I had a .50 I loaded on the RCBS Ammomaster. The LEE at that time got great reviews. You need a special press made for .50 BMG and be prepared to spend some cash on the RCBS. Fortunately now there are a lot more specialized tools for .50. When I was...

Re: 7mm Rem Mag Powder Input Sought Well I loaded up 49 rounds the other day. 11 of the m were ladder test loads seated at 3.445 which is .005 off the lands. They ranged from 66-71gr in .5gr increments. These were out of a 28" barrel 66gr ---- 2698fps 66.5 ---- 2771 67 ---- 2793 67.5...

Re: 7mm Rem Mag Powder Input Sought Thanks guys. I wound up buying some Retumbo and some 168gr Berger VLD's and plan to ladder test them in a couple days. I am considering trying the Hornady 162gr AMAX as it is has a slightly higher BC than Berger's 168 VLD.

I recently got my hands on a Remy 700 &mm Rem Mag 26" with a shrewd brake. I ha sa twist of 1:9.25. I was looking to run 180VLD's through it but based upon Berger's ballistic calculator and doing side by side comparisons on their .284 projos from 168-180gr I have settled on the 168's as they...
