Dittos on the Dillon Super Swage. I have done about 8,000 rds. through it. Excellent tool and worth the cash!

I've been shooting the above mentioned handgun recently and developing loads for it. I'm using 140 gr. Nosler BT's, CCI 200 primers, and Nosler brass. I've found the best results so far with mostly all Hodgdon powders (H335, H414, H4350, Varget, BL-C(2), and one lonely IMR-4064). I've found...

***UPDATE*** I just installed the new Timney trigger assembly which I received this week. It went in VERY, VERY easily and now the rifle fires like a charm the way it is supposed to. At least at home in the cellar anyway...lol. The trigger pull is right at 3-3 1/4 lbs. Hopefully off to the...

I took the bolt apart last night and everything there appeared to be ok. The firing pin is functioning ok; when the trigger allows it to do it's job. There is just the slightest hang-up between the trigger and the sear that is causing the issue. As I said earlier, short of taking the trigger...

Well, I took the barreled action off of the stock. This weapon apparently has the MOA trigger on it as opposed to the older style with the two "jam nuts". I can see inside one of the "ports" where the sear engages the trigger. There appears to be a possible burr on one surface or the other...

Guy...I take what I have loaded to that point. Realistic expectations are to actually shoot around 50-60. The day I had the issue I only made it through about 20-24.

Ok, I just got my trigger pull gauge and checked the trigger pull. It measures 1 1/4 lbs. There is no way that it would have been set at that from the factory. I'm gonna guess a factory setting would have been in the 3-4 lb. range? I'm going to take it apart over the weekend. As I stated...

I am going to try adjusting the trigger. The pull is very light & I am thinking that since only firing the gun for the first time in early March & only about 120 rounds through it so far, the trigger seems much lighter than what I can recall it being when I first shot it. I am ordering a...

Upon further review after fiddling with the rifle just now a bit, I've come to realize that the bolt cocks upon opening, but then when I close the bolt, the cocking indicator at the rearmost of the bolt moves inward as the bolt handle is lowered. HOWEVER, if I raise the bolt, then pull the...

Did not have a good day at the range. Took approximately 96 test loads to try out today for my Winchester Model 70 .264 Win Mag. I have 140 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips loaded with Nosler brass and CCI 250 Primers. After firing about 20 of them, the next set of 3 was 76.0 gr. of RL33. The first...

Thanks guys. I am going to jump on the .257 Bob project after I wrap up my .264 project, which will hopefully be in 2-3 weeks. I still need to replace the stock on the Model Seven as it is just too nice a chunk of wood for a 12 year old to be clanking around in the woods with. Not much sense...

Getting ready to load some test loads for my son's .257 Roberts. I checked the rifle's (Remington Model Seven) chamber for overall length using the Hornady OAL length gauge & Hornady bullet comparator. What I came up with measured to the ogive of the bullet (100 gr. Nosler Partition) was...

Impressive...to say the least!

Yeah, I'm sure I wobble more too than when I was 25-30... :lol:

SJB...I just realized I had a mental lapse when I told you 24" barrel...it is actually 26".

Thank you very much for the info!

.280 Remington (or anyone else). May I ask where you got the load data for the .264 using Reloader 33? I was on Alliant's sight and they do not have any published for the .264. I'd like to try some of it.

SJB, I just checked my data and my COAL is 3.199". I came up with that length using the Hornady OAL length gauge and Hornady bullet Comparator. I have the bullets seated at .025 off the lands (might be a tad much) as I have seen others at about .010-.015. Once I acquire my best performing...

That is about what I had figured. They should shoot the same, and if they do shoot different, my 49 year old eyes most likely wouldn't be able to tell anyway!...lol.

SJB...Funny you should mention that load. It was the EXACT same load I tested this past Sunday. Just one of many. I am using Nosler cases, CCI 250 Primers and the 140 gr. Nosler BT. Out of my rifle (Winchester Model 70 Ultimate Shadow, 24" bbl), mine came in at an average velocity of 3161.6...
