I sized the rounds for today so that I can barely feel the shoulder engage when the bolt closes. Stay tuned sports fans.

Here’s the link...

Send me a hundred or so bullets and I’ll coat them. You can load them and see how they perform for you. I don’t want anything to do it. I’ll send them back, and Maybe they’ll work for you.

Give the Tubbs HBN kit a try. Its inexpensive and a good way to get started. It doesn't have the steel BB's but they are verry cheep on Amazon if you want to use them. It will make a bullet squirt out of your fingers like wet watermelon seed.

I've had the most benefit with E-Tips. They build pressure quickly and HBN kind of evens that out.

I coat all my loaded bullets with HBN. I use .5 micron HBN and place small steel BB's in the jar with the bullets. It doesn't hurt the bullets and the steel BB's imbeds the HBN in the jacket surface more efficiently. I get little to no copper fouling, a small boost in velocity, and lower...

I’d die of a heart attack. Lol

Just finished watching the Alpine Biathlon. Man they are good to say the least. Over an hour of cross country skiing with their rifle slung across their back. Oh, and along the way they have to stop and shoot multiple times and targets with better accuracy than I’ve seen at some PRS matches...

I was under the opposite belief. When I close the bolt I can just barely feel the shoulder engage. I’ll keep sizing to keep this engagement. I’ll measure it with my headspace comparator and size to this measurement from now on. Thanks for the great information.

Thanks Scotty, I’ve been looking for a fully free close. Great insight, thanks.

Thank you Mike for all the time you invested in the Quickloads. It’s greatly appreciated. I’m also going to measure the fired headspace and compare it to the headspace of a sized case to see if they size or maybe need annealed.

Unfortunately Magpro is one that I dont have around

I'm starting ladders for two loads for this weekend. 1. 270 WSM, 145GR eldx, with RL26 2. Is the 130gr E-Tip, with Staball HD. 3 130gr Partition, with Staball HD I figure the 145gr ELDX will be a nice deer load, and the E-Tip and the Partition will be the anything that walks...

Thank you Mike. I appreciate it more than you can imagine. Thank you. I'm below the max's you show above so that makes me feel better. I've been lackadaisical to this point and haven't taken my chrono with me. It goes with me from know on. I prefer using the chrono results over eyeballing the...

I’ll figure it out. As far as suitable powders on hand go it’s Staball 6.6, IMR4831, IMR7828SSC, RL22, RL23, RL25, RL26, Staball HD. So I should be able to find something it likes. I think the Staball 6.5 will be too fast to use but included it anyway. The shorter fat case seems to give a more...
