My understanding for dropping the case in water was to prevent the heat from reaching the case head.

Have not heard of any in Texas. Maybe soon.

Thanks, Dan Newberry had found that Federal's load for the 168 was 42.8 of 4064. Your gun seems to like them all. Good shooting

What weight bullet was this? If you posted it I didn't see it. Really nice groups.

I guess there is a lot more reloaders than we realize to create all these shortages.

That could explain why I can't find any. Thanks

I have been looking for some Winchester brass in 6.5x55 and 7mm08 for a long time now. So far no luck finding any. I like Winchester brass.

Winchester doesn't seem to be getting any rifle brass to distributers. Has anybody heard of the plant closing or having problems EPA etc.?

It shows 58,718 psi. I went back to the Hodgdon website and they show 47.0 grain load as 45,700 CUP pressure. So I guess the 58,718 psi is a close equivalent.

Man be careful. I hope your not shooting 96 model swede. Hodgdon's say 47.0 grains max. The modern rifles of today have a max pressure of around 60,000 psi. I just plugged that into Quickload and it says that load's pressure is 78,801 psi. The 96 model swede's max pressure is around 45 to 46...

I'm in Snyder to the south.
