thanks R Flowers for the info. Now if I could only find federal primers of any sort.

i didnt want to start a new post but is there much of a difference from the regular Mag primers 215 and the 215M match primers? And if so is it worth using them in a hunting rifle?

:oops: busted

just from my own experience, there not that good. Yes they may look good but a good tumbler can clean up dirty old brass in no time, and all you have to do is keep a couple of those little absorbant packs you get in pills or with a new pair of shoes. Put one in your shell box and it will keep...

right now my COL is 3.715 That is the max length I can feed through the mag without them getting caught up. And I have tryed the R22 and I couldnt get it to shoot with the 180 or 165gr accubonds. Then I went to the IMR7828 and also couldnt get it to shoot well. I thought it was my loading or...

Thanks, no wonder I can find any here in Edmonton!!!

same problem here in Edmonton Alberta

Thanks guys. Ill load up some heavier loads this weekend. I normaly use the Fed. 215 primers but none of the gun shops here in Edmonton have any in stock right now. And the only reason I went to such a low charge was beccause when I was using the IMR7828, and R22 I couldnt get the accubonds...

300 WBY same powder for all the shells. 74gr. of IMR4831 cci mag primers 165gr. accubonds there only going about 2900ftsec on my chrony I was just about to try working up the load but I dont think I can get them to shoot any straighter. A 5 shot group of the good shells has them all...

What would cause burnt powder to be blown back over the case once its shot? 8 out of 38 rounds had this problem and all were high and way left (average 6" to teh left) the other 30 rounds were perfect Is this bad brass, re-sizing issue, an under chardge? this is once fire brass, full...

well I remounted my scope cleaning everything aand used lock tight. cleaned the h#ll out of my barrel, and took my time at the range waiting about 5min between each shot, using my chrony and my gun is shooting like nothing ive seen before. Thanks guys!! the load thats working for me and that...

well i can eliminate the scope problem. I have a 4 month old ziess scope and took it all off last night including the bases and used lock tight on everything. and the powders ive used are IMR 7828, RL 22, and IMR 4831. bullets- BT, accubong, partitions, fail safe I guess ill try the foam...

Well my day at the range was so so, i tryed the lower grains amounts and had about the same results. I would say it was the shooter but I have been using a rock solid rest. I went to load up some different shells today and opened a new box of nosler brass and had 10 out of the 50 shells dinged...

How do you know if a barrel is due to be changed? Besides knowing how many shots its taken?

IMO being a hunting guide for 6 years in Northern BC, guiding for moose, sheep, grizzly, caribou, and goats the most important thing is to pick a rifle your comfortable shooting. Ive seen every type of gun with every caliber and bullet wieght come buy and I would have to say I much rather see...

I bought the gun new and clean it really well after every trip to the range. Ibought it as my gun to use while guideing bow hunters for grizzly and just bought a box of weatherby shell that lasted 4 years of guiding. I have just started to reload for it this year as I am going to make it my...

Thanks, I never had any problems such as split cases or loose primer pockets ect... But maybe thats because of the top quality nosler brass :wink: Now what is a good way to work up a load? I was thinking of picking a powder loading lets say 6 rounds of each lets say 74gr, 75grn, 76grn, and...

I am just wondering what manual to use as a starting point?? I have been having problems working up a load for my 300wby 165gr accumarks. The best Ive been able to get is a baseball sized group with the odd flyer (usually on a cold barrel clean or fouled) I have used all the powders listed in...

what is the best brass??

didnt he ask for 165grn loads??? all you guys are giving is 180 and 200grn loads...... i know you guys on here are big fans of "big" heavy wiehgt bullets but some of us still are happy shooting 165grn out of a 300wby
