My train of thought is it excels in the 338fed with the 200 gr bullets, 358win same case/volume but it has a slightly larger bore. Use a bullet of simular weight to bore size (sectional density) and it should work too. The 225 gr PT should be a winner with weight and its long bering surface. I...

For rifles the solvents I use the most are Hoppies #9, Butches Bore Shine, and Kroil oil. Never needed any thing faster and a little time soaking means less work for me. I use Clenzoil, Ballistol, and Naptha (shooters choice shotgun cleaner) in my shot guns and plan to compare these in my rifles...

I loaded up the 52gr CC in my 223rem do to many post that said they have a delayed explotion meaning they make it in side before they expand and usually do not exit. Many of the tipped bullets are known for ruining the hide on entery, some thing I wanted to avoid. I have both the CC's and Berger...

LVR is the powder I hope you try, its velocity with the 200/210gr bullets is very high. I also think LVR should do the same in the 358win with 225gr bullets. Yes it is not listed but if it works in the higher pressure 338Fed it should also work in the 358win. I love to have a 2550 fps (or more)...

I would rebarrel that 700. I put a Shilen #3 on a Classic 700SA in 358 win and with a .358 bore it is a dream to carry. If I were to make up a bolt in 35 Whelen it would be on a 700 with a 22-23" #3 contour. If you just put a SS barrel thats bead blasted to a flat finish its afordable. You then...

A fired case from your rifle fits that chamber perfectly, but it will not hold a bullet. This once fired is the most accurate brass you can use. After you neck size some brass carefully by hand drop it into the chamber and check to see if the bolt closes easy. If it dose your good to size the...

Thanks for your input. I have been lucky with my 223rem with my first work up loads picked a very promising load .5grs from max that does clover leafs. DONE never changing a thing! My 22hornet found some loads that did not work and some that do very well with not much work. Both very accurate...

Raise the ram to the top and then just touch the bottom of the neck die. The neck die is made so you will not touch the shoulder. look at a size case you can see where the die stopped. If it did touch the shoulder just turn the die about 1/4 turn up. A body bump die would be fine it only sizes...

I have tired AA1680, Lilgun, and H4198 and did settle on H4198 to get a higher load dencity. I should get my rebarreled 221FB back in a week or two and it will be basicly a new gun as far as what loads it will like with the new barrel. I am sticking with 40gr HP's and the 45gr hornady spire...

In my 700SPS it is: Lapua brass, BR4 primer, 24.9 grains of benchmark, and a 52gr Berger or CComp. (either 3270 or 3370 fps I's forget) Same with the BR 2 or 4 which ever is the SRMP.

LVR is listed for the 338Fed with the 210gr partition and its fast! Has anyone tried it in the 358Win with the 225gr PT? Seems it may just top 2500fps or more. Same case bore to bullet weight pretty close. Nosler please test this powder it could be a good reason for added 225gr PT sales. And...

For the 200gr CLRN H4895 hits 2200 fps in 20" barrels, TAC will do 2250 fps. Its the 220gr that needs the LVR powder to get 2200 fps or the 200gr Flextip do to its longer bearing surface. Its beleived you can't stuff too much LVR in a 35rem case to get into trouble. I think my 200gr CLRN at...

I see the tiny slits cut in the jacket at the point, I bet it is the power point. The PP also holds the core in the jacket much like the Core Lokt does at the heal of the bullet. The cannelure would be a dead give away if someone has a pic of a power point. The extra weight up forward of the...

It looks like a semi-spitzer in shape. Not a spitzer, protected point, or Round nosed like the rem & hornady 150gr RN's I have rem 130gr CL PSP and they are protected points no exposed lead at the tip pretty much flat, not like the pic. Hornady uses the scant O-Give on their spire points this...

Are you saying the marks from the lands are only on the bottom part of the bullet, at the o-give part of the bullet which is where it starts full diameter?

It depends on the time of year, I sent my rifle in mid January so it was about 12 weeks. May be a week or two less, I do not remember the exact time, but noted from their 9-10 week estimate, added about 3-more weeks for the stock/bluing work and mid May was a fair ETA. My rifle was a used 700...

Just received an E-mail from Pac-Nor my 221 rebarring project has just left their facility to go to their gun smith for blueing and bedding work. Should have it in may. I will post when I get some loads worked up for it.

I have commented there has well, but wanted more conversasion on the 35 cal bullets and the reasonning behind it. Like the the 250gr AB may be better for the whelens velocities than the 265gr for longer range work. The 250gr PT has pretty good BC boost that with the AB and the whelen may be a...

In this case its in the name 50 clays, the 250 holds 250 clays but the naming convention stops there I think 250 is max even with their 400 madel. I will have to see how I actually use it most, oscilating or not oscilating. But it is a fun feature. Just the AT50 on the cart would be very...

Used my new Trap machine for the first time Sunday. Really had a great time and it works perfectly. Its a Atlas ATA-AT50 (osilating base) on their cart so I can move it with my ATV. Put just short of 200 clay target through it. I can see I need the wireless control for it which will better than...
