    head space, bolt problem, and a "shoulder bump"?

    the problem with screwing the die in is it will only go so far as it is a fixed size once it hits the shell holder. the only way to set the shoulder back further is to file the top of the shell holder off to set the case deeper into the die

    head space, bolt problem, and a "shoulder bump"?

    if you are full length sizing to saami minimum spec's to the datum line for a 250-3000 it is the maximum for the datum line on a 22-250. Assumming your smith didn't chamber the gun to the no-go length of the 22-250 gauge which i don't think he would your shoulder on the 250-3000 is going to be...

    RL-25 & .300RUM

    quickload is predicting about 3320 fps and a pressure of 68500 psi with 95 grains of RL25. I'd be careful with that load.

    300 wsm

    the first thing i would do is get somebody else to shoot the rifle. Consistent 1/2" groups are about as easy to find as bigfoot. I know everybody on almost every forum i've been on shoots them all the time but when ever I goto the range i don't see it. Sometimes different people shoot different...

    .257 Weatherby Magnum

    i agree it may be only 100 fps faster than tha manual but the lowest pressure powder i could find to give 3300 fps was biggame and with 3.5 grains less it would put you at max load +/- a couple of percent and 3196 fps but those extra 3.5 grs. put you at 74,000 psi. for 100 fps second i still...

    .257 Weatherby Magnum

    just looking at quickload and you need almost 80,000 psi to get 3300 fps out of 115 gr. BT in a 25-06. Just make sure your not shooting next to an innocent bystander with that load

    quickload shows a pressure of about 73,000 psi with the xfn barnes loaded to a length of 2.550" with aload of 52.0 gr. of h4198. The partion because it is much shorter is a 40,000 psi load. i don'yt think i'd be firing the xfn's loaded to that length with that load. Granted quickload isn't...

    180 gr 38 cal HG Partition in 35 Remington

    did you get some loaded for your 336c? y cartridge OAL looks to be about 2.217 to the lands. This makes my dead length bullet seater bottom out and i get get the bullets any deeper. I'm not shooting bench rest so i don't need the bullet on the lands. Any body else have any experience with this.

    280 AI w/ 160 gr AB

    for what its worth quickload says 61 grs. will put you at 2940 fps at a little over 58000 psi

    58 gr IMR 4350

    assuming you filled the case to 100% of AVAILABLE CAPACITY WITH THE BULLET SEATED TO NOT COMPRESS THE CHARGE, which quickload says should be about 62.5 grs. you should get about 2920 fps. This also happens to be a max load pressure wise. Obvious no computer program can be 100% correct so take...

    260 Rem or 257 Roberts

    257 is right for just about anything. Go down to 60 grain bullets up to 120's. Will you be doing any varmit shooting as the roberts will do quite nicely. It likes to be downloaded and in my opinion its quieter which i guess is all relative. If you're sure he's going to stay shooting why settle...

    280 velocities

    I didn't read all the posts but using quick load your original recipe says it should be coming out at 2829 fps second which is pretty much what you got. According to quickload 55.9 grs. of h4350 might be a better MAX load to work up to. It says it should do 2954 with the 140 gr. accubond.

    110 Accubond feedback

    hate to be a kill joy but doesn't 75 gr. of RL-25 put you at about 73,000 psi. Speed is nice but you face has to be more important than that. Just a thought.
