BuckBuster, no intention to hijack your thread, wanted to add this to my recent post. Dug in my old files, found some pics. The last two pics, before and after I used the salon bleach.

That is a nice mount Blockbuster. Back in the days, I used to do a few mounts myself as well. I used an old galvanized tub and place it on a BBQ propane burner, mix some borax and water and simmer the water for a few hours until the tissues and brain matter softens and clean the skull well with...

I have always used RL22, 25 and 26 for my 300 Win Mag, and curious on what velocity you achieved with the Grand powder when you shot those 200 grain bullets.

I was doing a tune for the 6 BR after running out of Berger 105 VLD's, switched to 105 Hybrids and used Varget and CCI450 primers. Used charges in .3 increments from 28.9 to 29.8 grains with the bullets touching the lands, the 5 shot groups were a bit scattered and switched primers from 450's to...

Nice double harvest, the TTSX performed its tasks exceptionally well out of the thirty thirty.

I grabbed a deal at Midsouth for 5,000 BR4 small rifle primers and 5,000 BR2 large rifle primers plus a brick of Gold Medal match 205M with free shipping and hazmat. Grab the deal while it lasts. $249.99 bucks per 5,000 primers. Used to be $799 bucks per 5,000, should be enough for me in the...

Nice Shooting. Congratulations. Can't be any prouder than that.

I would grab some RL22, but I have several pounds of IMR4831, H1000 and a pound of RL-25 that I like to burn up first. RL-22 is the bees knees in my 300 Win Mag. I'm still hanging on to my last 1.5 pounds of RL-26. I don't use my 300 Win Mag as much like the smaller calibers I use.

I remember I struggled with trying to get my Gramp's .243 BAR to shoot accurately, wasn't my loads either. It's probably due to the inherent design of the rifle. I was pushing 1 -1.5 inch groups if I could remember. May want to check stock bedding and warpage as well. Try seating your bullets...

F Open, 28.5 inch Bartlein barrel 7:8 twist 4 groove, 1.25" tapered to 1.1" , Impact Precision NBK action

After fireforming 225 pieces of 2X fired brass from the old BR barrel into the current ( 350 rounds in ) barrel with 105 VLD and 105 Hornady Match. The VLD's shot very well at the the match last month while fireforming brass. The Hornady Match did not perform like I wanted for some reason...

I once fired some Match factory Federal ammo, saved them for reloading for the first time and found that half of the batch had loose primer pockets after the 2nd firing. Never went back to Federal brass for this reason. Stuck with quality brass like Lapua, Norma and Nosler, its all I use. The...

I second Idaho53's advice, I would toss all that brass and get some new quality brass. What brand of brass are those?

Hi Guy, finally I was able to get out and shoot the .38 Super. Distance was 15 yards with my palms resting on the tailgate in the closed position, trying to keep the cases in the bed without searching for them in the grass. Power Pistol from 6.6 to 7.7 in .2 grain increments for 4 rounds each...

It's possible that you should be fine with a 200 grain in the 1:11 twist, you should be close to the end of the stability threshold. I use a 1:10 twist on mine and it loves the 180 grain AB / BT. Put them on paper and see what it tells you. Keep us posted.
