Thanks for the clarification. My mandrel (Wilson) are all 0.001” undersized. I might have been better off buying a different brand as some allow for 0.0005” increments

Iraqvet, please update us with its performance. I’ve recently picked up RL16 and have loads in other calibers waiting to shoot. 22-250 is in my arsenal as well. Mines - 1:12 twist. Currently running TAC and 40 gn vmax, but would like a bit more bullet… so interested in your results.

I’m very appreciative of so many of you. I won’t name you all out of fear I’d miss many of you. But I’ve learned much more than reloading. You treat others well, live principled lives. Care for others. You’re running a great race! Keep it up!

RCBS group A part# 12201 250 Savage Die set. Made in 77. FL/Seater were cleaned and treated with Gibbs (penetrating oil with rust preventative). Would like to give dies to a new home. Would like shipping. Weighted this set in its green box, 1# 1 oz. I’m in Michigan if someone wants to...

This is part of rationalizing all my loads and specifically today was 243 win Nosler Ballistic tip. The intention is to load up ballistic tips and partitions for this rifle. I had great success with SGK 85gn HP doing doe patrol on a tight parcel (subdivision on both north and south borders of...

To date, non-Berger user. Working a 168 gr load for 300 WSM work white tail/antelope. Opposite that will be a 180 NPT.

Used that bullet Sierra Game King 85 gn HPBT over 49.1gn RL26 in 243Win. Was getting 3250fps. Used it on crop damage deer. 6 shot. 6 recovered. 5 took zero steps. No exit wounds. As you mentioned, no obviously recoverable bullet. The odd deer, had an exit wound. Made it 25 yards and...

Happy Easter!

Did the TSX (170gn HP) in 350 legend for a farmer doing crop damage. Was able to make ammo that matched the boxed Barnes 350 legend using Starline brass and win296 powder. Was very happy when scope needed no adjustments. When you get around to Sierras… you’ll find lots of bullets that fly...

I did it. Was using tightgroup on my 45acp. I threw a light load. I think it was 4.5 or 5.1 grains.(autodisk). The flake powder would make it catch sometimes… guess I missed one. Switched to a bulky powder so dropping about 8 grains now. FIL saw a squib and saved a 357. The bullet was...

I don’t have a 35 Whelan yet. So not the right responder for your question. The 35 Whelan is on my Bucket list and I have been actively looking for a donor to do a build. Just haven’t found a donor at the right price point. Powders I was planning on using in the 225 range for the 35 Whelan...
