45 acp reloading oddity
Yep, they take a small pistol primer. I toss them just to keep them from causeing headaches when I load. I never seem to have more then a couple at one time anyway. They somehow get mixed in with my empties at the range every so often. They are however reloadable, just a pain to sort -

Looking for a 260 Rem load
If you want to stick to powders on hand go with the H4350. My 260s like R19 with most bullet weights of 120 & up, or you might try something a tad slower like the 4831s or R22 with the 129-140gr. -

barrel length in nosler reloading data
I don`t really think there is enough difference in a lot of cases to worry about. Then to the actual barrel can make a big difference too. I`ve 2 rifles chambered for the 260 Rem, a Kimber M84 22" bbl and a M700 24" bbl the Kimber with a 2" shorter barrel gives better velocities then the 2"... -

20" vs 22" barrel
There is no cut & dried answer to the question. I`ve a Kimber 260 with a 22" bbl that shoots the same loads as fast or slightly faster then my 24" M700 in the same chambering. A old M7 with a 20" tube I had shot the same reloads ~ 20-30 fps slower the my M700/24" bbl. There is more then barrel... -

Is the bull Barrel wortth it.
Bull barrels simply mean it will heat up slower and if it tends o warp as it gets hot it will do so at a slower rate. You can have a pencil thin barrel that is as accurate as a bull -

6.5 Swede 96 range report
1st thing I`d do is tear the bolt down and clean it. It sounds like you may have a bit of grime or debris in there hindering the fireing pins travel. A mauser has a very heavy pin and spring and should set off any primer you feed it. -

1/10 of a grain?
You might want to try a set of check wgts. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?p ... ber=212586 They are inexpensive and allow checking your scale at the various wgt levels we normally use. 5gr, 10gr, 20gr, etc. Lyman, and RCBS both offer them and they are a quick way of seeing if your scale... -

Concentricity tools and chamber postion of cartridge??
My opinion is the case should lay straight and in line with the bore if concentric, but..... There has to be a few thousanths of tolerance slop for the cartridge to freely enter the chamber that can allow it to move to a side. The necks if sized and turned to fit the chamber may have more effect... -

44 magnum lever action rifle
Don`t bother buying a can of both. The two powders are one and the same just packaged by different companies. ("H" by Hodgon, and "W" by Olin, both distrubuted by Hodgdon. Get one or the other and enjoy..... -

Does what sound familar? No money? Yep, always broke... Finding a Shultz & Larson? I could only wish..... :cry: To bad, that would have been a real coup if you could have swung it. -

Stuck cases
I think the problem is the bullet is being jammed in the lands and hanging up. You need to find how long you can load and keep the bullet out of the rifleing, something you need the rifle in your hands to do. Each bullet brand/style/ and weight has a different nose geometry and will need to be... -

Be sooo careful
I have always used different coloered plastic boxes to store my ammo. I also use magic marker in different colors on my case heads to mark various loads in the same cartridge. You can`t be too careful, especially when you have something like a 708 & 308 on hand at the bench. -

Remington Primers
As allready said the 6 1/2 was designed years ago for the 22 Hornet or other mild cartridges. The 6 1/2 doesn`t hold up to todays higher pressure cartridges well and they can pierce quite readily. There is a warning not only on the box but on Remingtons web site also. -

neck sizing....possible problem?
Lube the case mouths to insure the expander isn`t dragging and pulling the shoulder out. The neck sizers should not change anything but the neck diameter. They are not made to contact the shoulder of the case or size the body. If the brass came out of the rifles chamber it should go back in...
