Looking at the .458 300gr Ballistic Silvertip for my 45-70. Is there any adverse affects of the coating on these bullets. I have the reg. uncoated version and they shoot well in my 1885 @2000 fps. The BST's are on sale for a good price just don't know about that coating,don't want it in the bore...
I'm going to run that string again using the once fired cases and 46.5 as a max. Its very cold here in Maine right now ,10 below tonight and 5 for a high tomorrow. Will be awhile before I can do this. I'm liking this RL 26,was able to get 3004+/_ from my 22" 270 and a 150gr Speer H.C. That load...
Daa, Yes 44 I edited it.I may reshoot that one as I think I will take it up to within .4 of the QL max of 46.7. I' trying to understand just what kind of spread constitutes a flat spot.I'm going to reshoot 45.0 and 45.2 then wil move up to 46.0 to 46.6

In need of a small priming pin for the old Lee Auto Prime tool. Called Lee there are no parts available. Anyone have one they don't use?
Have one on the way,thank you to all replies.
Here's the ones you asked for. I modified the burn on 26 to approximate what we've been seeing.
Thank you very much for your time and effort put into your reply. I didn't think about the current data base issue. This is very helpful and I appreciate it.
I have a 760 358 Win which I purchased new as a 35 Rem.back in the 80's. Had it re chambered in 1990 to its current caliber. Currently shooting 220gr Speer HC's at 2475 fps. Its a deer killing machine. Also have 7600's in 25-06 and 257 Roberts All are excellent shooters. I have done the spring...

I'm looking for results using Reloader 26 and 17
I want to run 10 round ladder tests for my 6 Creed using the above powders
Sounds to me like you need to fine tune the expander button depth. My dies are RCBS #20904 Start at the top and screw it down in 1/4 turn increments. My brass is Starline. 4198 is a great powder for the 45-70. I use the Lee Factory crimp die.
I'm loading a 270 Win. using RL26 . Ran a ladder test with both a Speer 150 Hot Core and a Nosler 150 BT up to 60.0 grains. No pressure signs at all and good speed ie;2917 w/Speer and 3003 w/Nosler both at 60 gr. 22" brl. Aliant did not use a mag primer in their data but just wondering if anyone...
Have a chance to buy an old yellow cardboard box of 170 gr Speer RN. Anyone know anything about these. Just wondering if the will expand on whitetails. My rifle is a 1-10 twist as well.
Got a new Ruger Predator 6 Creed today. Fixing to order some bullets and would like to hear from anyone who shoots this caliber.Its a 1-7.7 twist. I'm especially interested in any of the 105's to 110's and if any would work on whitetails.
Anyone know why the RCBS 6.5 Creed dies are twice the cost of other calibers. Is there some gouging going on or is there something this caliber set has the others don't.
Anyone have experience with the TC Compass. The reviews look pretty decent and Cabela's is putting them on sale this week. Cheap way to get on the 6.5 wagon.
