Has anyone used the LVR Powder or a ballistic tip bullet with a lever action rifle? What powder/bullets do you use? Thanks, WM

OK. I get the point. Should have re-phrased the question. Thanks for the input. On to the next topic. WM

I was pondering this today as I was finishing up the last 7mm-08 loads. Which of these would make a better whitetail cartridge within 125 yards? I have the 7mm-08 worked up, but if you feel the 30-30 would be better, which load would you use? The 30-30 is a marlin lever action. Thanks WM

Larry, before I started reloading, this is what I used for my -06: Elk: Remington Core-lok 180 grain killed many. The blue box 180g rounds actually work well and killed a cow elk with it. Cheap and effective. Mule Deer: Federal 165 Vital Shock BTSP Hornady Superformance: Will never use nor...

Our XCR like these loads: 200 grain accubond 94.5 g. retumbo 3.60 " OAL Fed 215M Match primers 3143 FPS Nosler or RP cases gives the same results 180 grain AB 98 g. retumbo 3.60" Fed 215 M primers 3196 fps 200 grain is the most consistent round in this gun for us. Our chronograph is less than...

Looking for brass to my grandfathers rife he passed down. Thanks

Thanks for the input guys. I usually have a lot of time to kill when I hit the bench, so this topic crossed my mind. The main reason for the tumble in my opinion aligns with Guy Miner. But, living in the hills, I also like shiny things. :lol: Now that I have the loads developed, the rounds...

This is my process: Clean (Wash) brass --> De-Cap Brass ---> Clean (Wash) again ----> tumble ----> Size Brass. My Question is this. After you size your brass, do you re-tumble? I saw some brass that was done this way, but he was selling it, so his purpose was to pimp it out. He also added...

How many times do you reload your brass? I understand there are variables that contribute to the equation, but typically do you condemn them once a certain number of times fired or?? I ask this as I have some RP brass for my 300RUM that are on there 4 cycle and are just showing signs of...

Fotis like 'em thin on the top with some junk in the trunk Eh?? :mrgreen:

Rifle: 270 Winchester 35 Whelen 300 Short Mag Pistol: 25ACP 380 Auto 45 ACP - Carried it in the service, and for some odd reason I carry it plain clothes. :twisted:

I am trying to get rid of a Savage youth edge with a Bushnell scope. What is a realistic price for this gun. We took it to the range for the last time yesterday. Thanks, WM

At the time we bought our last sets of dies, we could only get Hornady dies for our 7mm-08's. We experienced the same thing as you. We recently switched to RCBS and the groups got more consistent. So look like the hornady will be going down the road...

We tried a few rounds/loads in a my wife's Weatherby Vanguard youth model. I am pretty sure the barrel is about the same length as yours. The best groups came from this combo: 140g. Accubond 41.5g. varget Winchester LR primers. Sammi max Coal. I will get the exact measurements when I get...

What not to do: Reload when there is a lot of humidity in the air. On the music, I listen to it when I reload. It helps me concentrate.

Thats great RR. My wife now hunts with me archery, rifle, and muzzleloader. Wouldn't have it any other way. Now, if i can just convince her that she needs a pack board. :mrgreen:

All- I have about 400 rounds of -06 and about 200 rounds of 300RUM that are once fired and ready for the bench. Normally I would grab the bottle brush, get a pan of warm soapy water and have at it. But, that's not gonna happen this time as I need to get moving on getting these shells and get...

North Idaho. Does it matter?

After crippling two elk and only recovering one with the 270, I went back to the 30-06. Never had that problem before nor after going back to the -06, once I sold the 270. I am going to use the weapon that make the quickest most humane kill in my hands. For a elk rifle, I am going to use my...

Thanks guys. Gives me some stuff to experiment with this winter. I appreciate the feedback. WM
