Great shooting DF. I'd say that the preliminary reports are great. Just wait until the shooter feels better...lol. Dime size groups, you're on. Keep us posted and stay shooting straight. This new rifle is going to put the pressure on you... :grin: :grin:
All rifles are different and you may or may not be slightly overpressure. Large magnum rifles typically shoot better near or at max. What you need to do is make sure that your primers are seated tightly against the base of the primer pocket and that the primer pocket is tight and square. If the...
Good luck fishing and let us know about the trip. Looks like you will have to turn your case necks to allow expansion and release of the fired bullet. After turning and firing, you should just be able to put the bullet into the fired case with a little tension, but you can put it in there. Don't...
Maybe you have a very tight chamber. Try putting a bullet into a fired case with your fingers. You should be able to drop it in with little resistance. If it won't fit in the fired case then the chamber is tight and you will have to turn your case necks. Turn them just enough until a bullet...
Remmy, when you try playing with col, I wouldn't go longer than 3.250" because the weatherby mag really likes the jump with the 100 grain bullets. I've never tried retumbo with the 115, but I have some and have not got around to trying it because rl25 and H1000 shoot so well. :grin:
diverhunter is spot on. You need to push the shoulder back when you resize and also make sure that your frame and bolt pins are clean and lubricated. :grin:
Way to go Remmy. I knew it wouldn't take you long to get the 257 to shoot. You might now want to play with seating depth. You can probably tighten up those groups some more. Your velocity looks good. My rifle really likes imr 7828 with the 100 grain bullets and rl25 and h1000 with the 115's...
Way to go fox. I'll bet that 338lm made the tracking easy..lol Great shot, 480 yards at that small target is really something to share. I'll bet your buddy's are still talking about that shot. :grin:
Forgot to mention that I have really great accuracy with the 110 nab and IMR 7828. All loads that I tested with this bullet were acceptable and under 1 moa. :grin: :grin:
Way to go TB. It sure feels good to have confidence in your rifle and to know that it will do everything that you ask it too. Go get them blacktail deer now. :grin:
