I recently purchased a used Rem 700 min 7mm Rem Mag. Someone had gone to great pains and done some excellent work customizing this rifle to be a very light weight "Mountain Rifle" type, I surmise. It has a pencil thin, 22 in barrel, very lightweight synthetic stock, Control mounts and excellent...

I have a Lyman machine. It does a great job on primer pockets, both trueing and cleaning, reaming out crimped primer pockets and inside chamfering. I am not quite as happy with the outside neck deburring after trimming, but I have found one technique to make it work acceptably. I would not be...

In the past , I had read several posts here regarding failure with Winchester primers; ie leaking gas past the primer with a pin hole near the primer wall. I found information on several lots that had failures and compared the lots I had and none were the same but one was close. I e-mailed...

I much prefer to neck up 243 brass to 260. Have done this many times without problem.

Here is some data that I have, but not exactly what you are looking for. I have a CZ 550 FS with 20" barrel. 120 gr NBT, 47.0 gr IMR 4350, 2760 FPS, 1" (3 shots) 140 gr NBT, 51.0 gr H4831, 2760 fps, 1.25" (may be a tad hot) 140 gr NBT, 47.5 gr VVN160, 2745 fps, 1"

I neck up 243 brass all the time to 260 without issue. However, I keep my chrome plated 243 brass for this purpose so that it is a visual flag.

I have shot the 64 gr BSB in my Mini Mark X with the 1-12 twist and they shot fine, no evidence of keyholing.

I would like to give thanks and kudos to MagnetoSpeed. I was affected by the recent , historic floods in LA in March where my workshop was flooded and inundated with 2 feet of water. Thankfully my house did not flood but 3 more inches and it would have. Anyway, I had received the new...

I save my 243 chrome plated cases for resizing to 260. That way they stick out like a sore thumb. Plus I usually load with Ballistic Tips so that gives me another indication that it is 260, not 243.

Can you just resize 300 Wea Mag brass and neck down to 6.5?

Not sure how Jimbeaux82 does it, but those are screamin' velocities that he posted. My philosophy with all of the calibers I load (over 25) is to get book velocity for each load so if I need to shoot factory my zero's are pretty close. I never try to exceed listed velocity with each cartridge...

I have loaded and hunted with a 7mm Wea Mag for over 30 years now with great success. Primarily for whitetails but have killed 3 Nilgai as well. Bullets I have used successfully are 150 gr Ballistic Tips and Partitions, 162 gr Hornady SST's, 160 gr Accubonds. Here are the best loads that I...

I shoot 58.0 grs H4350 with 180 gr NP's at 2735 fps in my Win Mod 70 XTR FWT 22" barrel, .75" 3 shot groups. Stopped trying to find anything better after that.

I killed 2 oryx's as well with that bullet but did not recover the bullets

Preacher, the 180 gr Nosler Part , H4350 load I recommended is a true 1/2 moa load in my rifle, so if it is accuracy you want, that is the one I would go with. The 150 gr Ballistic Tip, IMR 4895 load is MOA. Now for your guys commenting on boudin, a typical Cajuns brunch or lunch is 2-3 links...

One of my favorite quotes is "You can't buy happiness, but you can buy boudin, and that's kind of the same thing." Jimbeaux

Preacher, I have this exact same rifle in 30/06 , around 1986-87 vintage, and it really is a shooter. My 2 best loads for it are rather old school but never the less very effective. 150 gr NBT, 51.0 grs IMR 4895, 3.330" OAL, CCI 200, 2850 fps 180 gr NP, 58.0 grs H4350, 3.315" OAL, CCI 200...

Had problems with One Shot Lube. Changed to Imperial Sizing Wax and issues gone.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Best site of it's type bar none.

I load 44.5 grs H4350 with a 120 gr NBT for 2750 fps from a 20" barrel achieving MOA. However, this is close to a full power load and you might drop 2-3 grains powder as a starting load for your daughter
