Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Just wanted to thank Terry and Mark first for their willingness to share this cleaning method. After almost 2 years I'm still well satisfied with the results. Don't let some loud mouth internet hotshot keep you guys from posting in this thread. All of...

Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Hot water makes hotter brass which speeds up drying time, but I never use hot water and get great results. As soon as I rinse the brass, I put it in a towel and roll it around. I then take each piece of brass out of the towel to be sure it is dry by...

Re: Same powder for 204 & 223? It takes me 28+g of Varget to get above 3,600 fps with either a 39 bk or 40 vm in 204. Accuracy is fine, but there is a lot of bridging in a powder funnel trying to get Varget in the 20 cal case mouth. As a comparison 27g of 8208 or 26.5 of H335 gets me above...

Re: Same powder for 204 & 223? All of those powders you listed can shoot well in either rifle. You didn' list IMR 8208 XBR which is a little better in 204 for velocity than it is in 223. Since 223 has such a wide variety of bullet weights, it would be difficult to have just one powder that...

Re: Greenhill Formula and .223 Remington Sorry, haven't shot the 68's. Like most other bullets, some people sware by them and some people sware at them.

Re: Greenhill Formula and .223 Remington That load (25 Varget)gives me about 2,800fps. I'm shooting a 69 Nosler which is listed as having a little higher BC than the Sierra. 26g Varget gets me about 2,925 fps, but every rifle is different. My best load shooting Varget is 25.6g for about...

Re: Greenhill Formula and .223 Remington The best and only for sure way to tell is shoot the distance and see. What I meant was that it wouldn't be an ideal twist and bullet weight for 1,000. Do you have an idea as to what kind of muzzle velocity you can get with the 69's in your rifle? My...

Re: Greenhill Formula and .223 Remington According to what I have, if you can push a 69g bullet at a muzzle velocity of 3,050fps, (which is what I can get with H4895 in a 22" barrel), you will go subsonic around 900 yds. Wishing you the best in your endeavor, but your really need more...

Re: Greenhill Formula and .223 Remington Well somebody will be along shortly to give you the correct advice, but I don't think you can get there with a 1x9, nor do I think you can get there with the 69, but we'll see what the experts say.

Re: Reduced loads for LC brass? Try the following link on Accurate Shooter. You will see that LC Brass (recent)actually has more case capacity. http://www.accurateshooter.com/cartridge-guides/223rem/

Re: Annealing Brass You might find the following link interesting, especially the post by Catshooter. http://www.predatormastersforums.com/for...860#Post1914860

Re: First OCW test. Advice? My suggestions would be to download a better target so that you can shoot to the same POA consistently, and be sure you shoot the loads round robin fashion. Try to wait a couple of minutes between each shot. Also shoot two or three foulers to get where you want...

Re: Annealing Brass Those cases are fine.

Re: First OCW test. Advice? I found a good node at 25.6g of Varget in my Savage 1x9 bolt with 69 Noslers using LC09 brass, Rem. 7.5 primer. Load shoots at 2,850 fps.

Re: OCW analysis with 223 Remington and 80 grainers 24.1 Varget (nice wide node) 23.8 8208 (looks promising, adjust bullet seating), but it looks like your target doesn't match the data--24.4?

Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Vman, if you keep hanging around the creek bank, you're bound to fall in sooner or later. I think you'll like the water.

Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Turbo54, the ss media from Terry's guy Mark is magnetic and it doesn't rust. It would be a real pain to use without being able to pick up the pieces with a magnet. I'm not sure how many cases you are doing at once, but you might not be using enough...

Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials gunman7, it sounds like you didn't get the rubber gasket which goes under the lid. You should have a rubber gasket that looks just like the lid with the 6 holes for the wingnuts. Even without it though I don't see how you could have a leak like you're...
