    Questions on H1000 and 338 Lapua Mag

    Re: Questions on H1000 and 338 Lapua Mag Jeff, I just finished my load development (338 edge)...again for this new stuff and I am shooting 89.2gr of h1000 out of a 30" brux. Very accurate, but I am very curious to see how fast it shoots. Glad to see I'm not alone in the very low charge weights.

    Any Idea How Many FPS Edge 300 SMK 89.2gr H1000?

    I do not have access to a chrono and was curious how fast this load shoots from a 30" Brux, 300 SMK, Win LRM primers and 89.2 gr of the new hotter H1000. I had to change my load due to shooting old H1000 at 92 gr then loosening up 15 primer pockets due to the new hotter H1000. Thanks guys.

    Questions on H1000 and 338 Lapua Mag

    Re: Questions on H1000 and 338 Lapua Mag The newer H1000 is hotter than that of the past according to many. I found that with my 300 rum and edge. Search and you will find many having a problem with H1000 loads being much lower than in the past.

    Primer Pocket Blow Out???

    Re: Primer Pocket Blow Out??? Don't assume anything I would rather hear it twice than not know it. I was referring to the die touching the shoulder. Then I would keep running it down till it fit in the chamber snug with the bolt needing just a bit of help coming down. I hunt in cold...

    Primer Pocket Blow Out???

    Re: Primer Pocket Blow Out??? The info is appreciated Gentlemen. I use a standard lee priming tool. These were winchester primers. I bump the shoulder just a touch when resizing after firing. I use the neck sizer and run it down till it touches, then twist a touch more (.002~) so it...

    Primer Pocket Blow Out???

    Re: Primer Pocket Blow Out??? Do any of these look like primer flattening? They look somewhat flat in person, but the pics don't show it as much.

    Primer Pocket Blow Out???

    I reloaded some 300wsm. After shooting, I noticed that the primers were all flat. I also noticed on one case, that there was a blackened rip from the primer pocket. What exactly caused this? Just overpressure? Is any flattening of the primer bad, or is it only if it is accompanied by a...

    wanted Reloading info for 300 Ulta Mag

    Re: Reloading info for 300 Ulta Mag Rot, Many of us shoot them. If you search on google for something like "300 ultra load data snipershide" you will find a lot. That said, here is what mine like: Rem 700 LSS 26" RWS Brake, bedded, trigger job. Nothing fancy. Rem Brass trimmed to 2.845...

    Is Fire Forming Cases Worth it???

    My worst day yet of reloading, feel free to share

    Re: My worst day yet of reloading, feel free to share I was neck turning some 300 rum, then got in a hurry to neck turn some 338 edge. Didn't adjust the cutter enough and cut about 5 necks down to .011 That is what I get for rushing.

    Is Fire Forming Cases Worth it???

    I searched and found numerous guys that shoot very competitively, yet don't fire form. Of coarse I found numerous shooters that do. I would prefer to save the $$ if possible since I have 100 375RUM cases to fire form for my 338 EDGE. Thoughts?
