I filled a case to just below the neck with 80.0grs of Reloader 26.Not that I'd load that much,but I could easily seat a 225gr Hornady Spire point.A 225gr mono Hornady CX would be a different story.

Amazing results.You never know when magic happens until you give it a try.I may have to try the Reloader 26 with 225gr bullets.

Yep,that's the price of cheap ammo.

Here is how you can calculate how many cases you can load with a pound of powder. 7000 grains per pound,so divide 7000 by your charge of grains.So if I load 69.0grs of powder in a case,I can load 101 cartridges with one pound of powder.That would be five boxes of twenty. 1 Pounds = 7000 Grains...

I think the slower powders are the best all around choice in the 7mag.I like Reloader 22 and 26 in this cartridge with all bullet weights.With lighterweight bullets the 4350 powders work well with outstanding velocities.I've used A4350 with bullets up to 150gr,but moving up to 160's,you have to...

If I purchase powder or primers,I like to get them when I can get free shipping or free hazmat.At least that helps buffer the cost a little.I've been using: https://www.shootingbot.com/ It doesn't list all the companies,but Natchez,Brownell's or Powder Valley often have a free shipping or free...

Here is what works for me.For the price,TAC is hard to beat.

I have some of the 180gr E-tips.The shoot great in my rifle,just haven't used any of the mono's on game.I've been wondering about mono's and how many I see recovered and the nice mushrooms they make.Since they shed very little weight compared to lead core bullets,it has me thinking that lead...

Frankford Arsenal Trim and Prep Center is what I use these days.After I resize my brass,I can trim,deburr,chamfer and clean primer pockets at a rate of 4-5 cases a minute.I really changed my world doing case prep.It really saves a lot of time.I've had mine for about seven years now and I'd hate...

SJB358 I have to agree with you on the reaction when hit.When you use enough gun,there is no doubt about whether or not the animal was hit.I've done some guiding and a lot of the time people use small caliber cartridges.I have to watch really close when they shoot and sometimes it's really hard...

Loading the various 338 cartridges video by the Real Gunsmith Randy Selby.He has some interesting videos based of his over fifty years of rifle building.

A good trigger makes a huge difference for sure.Those Triggertech triggers are nice.I think I have seven of them now.Every year right before the 4th of July they make a special run called Independence Day triggers and you can get them for about a hundred dollars.They are the same as their...

I had case case head separation on a 338 Win Mag once.It was on the forth firing of the cases.First round right off the bat working with some test loads on a new to me used rifle.I could not get the case out at the range to continue with my test loads.After I got home I tried a tight patch,tight...

You best get rid of them.If your getting case head separation on some and they all had the same amount of firings,you can bet more will show up next time.If you fired them 15 times,I'd say you got your moneys worth out them.

I can't help you with the 175gr.I'm thinking they are longer than the 180gr Accubond,probably close to a 200gr Accubond.I know the relief grooves on the mono's change the total bearing surface so it's kind hard to say.I know recently I shot some Hornady SST's and CX bullets and there really...

This is what my rifle liked with the 210gr Partition with Varget.I used a Win. case,WLRM primer with this load.

I was reviewing the QL data on the 175gr and 210gr.I noticed the QL for the 175gr showed Useable Case Capaci: 60.460 grain H2O = 3.926 cm³ and the 210gr showed Useable Case Capaci: 55.044 grain H2O = 3.574 cm³. I saw in my Lee data for 200gr-215gr,H4350 was 62.0grs as a compressed load.It also...

I like the QL data too.I find it especially helpful when the data is inputted for your specs.It is also great when your working with cartridges that have very little data to go by.Here are a couple more pages from my Lee manual.They don't have data for the 210 TTSX,but is has a good amount of...
