Interesting....i know a poster by the name of woods uses them too. I read once ..... and wrongly so I guess .....that you are more likely to get a donut by necking up because you are pulling the thicker brass of the shoulder up into the neck area. Actually now that I look at your pictures a...

Here's 17 pages of recipes.... it's always interesting to see the duplicates and there are some of the loads that are posted here too already.... http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthread ... ost3216390

1:8...1:9? I was thinking with a standard Factory rifle those 225 would be so long they'd sitting about a quarter inch off the primer...lol.

Good lord... what are the details on that 300 WSM....twist rate too?

You guys are really making me mad....lol. Our gun shop does a great job of stocking everything but they just will not bring in the new reloader powders... they are telling me that they are too pricey but I've seen the whole sale prices on Re 26 and 16 and they're actually pretty reasonable...

Fwiw.... I use a true tool to correct run out on the cases that give me trouble.... the funny thing about Lapua brass is even though it's got that cool shiny shoulder and everybody thinks it's so softly annealed.... it's got some of the toughest stiffest necks to move even in virgin form...

2850 from a 160/270......22" barrel.... I wouldn't be shocked to see some 160 factory ammo in 7 mag not do better over a chrono!

I may have found a really good load in my little Thompson venture 708 with the 162 eld x. It came out surprisingly mild compared to quick load at around 2640. As long of a bullet as they are they do not seem to have a lot of bearing area and don't make as much pressure as one would think . It...

As fragile as the ELD X has been a little slower might not be all that bad. My last two one pounders of Varget have been hotter than normal. Good luck!

I'm not a metallurgist but something I read on the internet ....so it has to be true...might be at play. That is that a case mouth tries to spring back towards the direction it was worked from last... so in the case of a Lee collet die you are squeezing the case mouth in and therefore the case...

I have always heard that story about you can only have so much neck tension but my Collet bullet puller tells me there's more to the story than that! It's one of those.....it makes sense ideas.... till you spend some time pulling bullets and seeing the huge variance and how easy they come out...

I bought 3 or 4 spindles in different calibers direct from lee.... I asked for them to be .0015 under normal size. I think at that time they were like $5 or maybe $7 each..... a lot of them are interchangeable.... it's the same spindle whether you have a 308 or 3006 and I think it even works...

He must have not taken much off. But... you can always take a little more off later if you need to and you can never put it back on! Enjoy!

I am not a big fan of the standard Lee Collet mandrel.... as your brass gets a little more work hardened you may find that it does not have enough tension. I have either ordered from Lee mandrels with a little smaller diameter or I have sanded the standard ones down by putting them in my drill...

Thinking you got some etips that wound up one grain over what they were supposed to be.... probably the black tip was a special order by some manufacturer that was going to use the bullet.

I may have stumbled onto a real nice load with the 162 eld-x and re 17 yesterday. It came out quite mild compared to quickload thinking but it always over-reacts to long bullets and the ELD X does not have a lot of bearing area for its length... going to reproof it before I get too excited. I...

Enjoy,.... http://www.shooterscalculator.com/balli ... -chart.php

You really don't need to spend the money on monolithic or bonded bullets for 7mm 08 speeds...Cup n core do great..... and they're cheap enough that you can get some extra practice.

The 160 accubond has done well for me in several guns. But.... I don't know why.... but I've never seen a 7mm that won't shoot the 154 hornady Spire Point well.

I had a separation at the range one day and found a slim sharpie marker I had a long was perfect for shoving into the case... it caught perfectly and slid the case right out..... I start looking real hard for signs of possible case head separation after 5 reloads of anything nowadays.
