Does it do this with other powders or just IMR4350?? What velocities are you getting? Is extraction normal? Are primer pockets tight and staying that way for multiple loadings? (4-5+) I suspect the fireing pin hole is a tad large and the primer is flowing a little back into it. That is nothing...

Measure the OD of a fired case neck and compare the measurement to a loaded rd. You should have a couple thousanths difference (0.002"-0.003") if so there is enough clearance. You can also compare a loaded cartridge neck diameter to the books max neck diameter in the cartridge drawing in your...

I don`t know why a Cal resident couldn`t buy a rifle the same as any other visitor could. They might not be able to legally import the new firearm back into California when they go home though....the laws change there everyday it seems. BTW, this is all opinion, I have NO experiance dealing...

The Garand gas system isn`t set for slow powders such as the 4350s or R19. The ammo used by the military when the rifle was designed was loaded with 4895 and that is what was expected to be shot in them. The slower powders have too much gas pressure at the bleed port and will drive the gas...

My 270 loves R22 under a 140 gr Hornady. I get better accuracy with H4831 and 130 gr bullets but, with 140-150 gr R22 rules.

I agree. I`ve used a lot of IMR4350 in a bolt 30-06 and never hae been disapointed in its performance reguardless of temp.

I understand this to be a requirement for each shipment to the FFL a dealer makes. It isn`t a one time thing and is just another hassle Califoria is putting on gun dealers. BTW it just might be breaking federal interstate commerce laws but, it will probably take someone sueing and a 20yr wait...

Micro stamping is still out there, the "gov" did however sign this one. http://benchrest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53219

Lots of data here. http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp

Sako got ahold of some bad stainless steel (a sulpher problem I believe) a couple years ago and had a couple rifles that let go. As I recall only M75 Sako rifles were affected, no Tikkas or other models. http://www.realtree.com/forums/archive/ ... -5400.html As for which I prefere, I`ve a...

Oooooooh :shock: Setting the base of your hand on the top of a fence post with a Ruger Super BlackHawk and touchin` one off, makes ya say all them words your mama told you not to... :grin: :grin: Never put your body between a firearm and a solid object.

Nosler4 thank you! Not the same as I heard the last time I asked the question and it`s a bit of a suprise. I sorta believed in the back of my mind I was going to get a similar response to the one I heard from the other guy. It is nice to know the load isn`t theoretical but, actually did produce...

I can`t remember which but, I once talked to either Sierra or Lyman and was told their "accuracy load" was the load that produced the lowest ES in velocity in their lab and theoritically should be most accurate. The powder used may be one that will produce the best results in your rifle but it...

As long as you have data for the bullet and powder there is no problem. I`ve seated many bullets deep and actually find it more common in my reloading then seating them with the base in the case neck. You should see a 140 gr A-Max or Nosler HP Macth seated to SAAMI COL in a 260 Rem. The base is...

Always roll crimp revolver ammo. The recoil of a round like the 41 mag could cause bullet movement. The neck tension is what has the most grip on the bullet but, won`t always do it by it self. The idea of minimum mouth flare is a good one. I like the Lyman "M" die just because of the way they...

FN was building the old ones. They closed the old plant and the "new" rifles are being assembled in a new plant they built before shutting the old. They have been building M70s as a Sniper rifle since 2004 in SC at this newer plant. All they stopped was civilian production...

I`ve a couple Remington 1 pc SS rods and 3 Tipton carbon 1 pc. The Tipton are definately the way to go!

Winchester dumped the "Fail Safe" design a year or two ago in favor of what is now the new Elite XP3 http://www.winchester.com/products/cata ... 16&type=69 I `m sure others will correct me if I`m wrong but, I`m not sure the Combined Technology line is producing anything except the Balistic...

Welcome to the wonderful world of Chrono`s. I found there is very often a drop of 100 fps or so between my rifle and the various load book claims. Some of it is due to the fact our chambers and bores are not as tight as the SAAMI spec test barrels used to work up the data. The barrels in some...

Do you reload? If so I`d look at the 260 Rem or 6.5x55. Both are so close ballisticly the rifle would be the only reason I`d choose one over the other. The 100 gr Nosler Partition is designed for deer in these cartridges and moveing up to 125 or 140 gr bullets lets her hunt larger game if the...
