Ray,
I would sell the "bluebox" brass as soon as you can get your hands on Nosler brass. Once you try the Nosler brass, you will wonder why you ever used inferior brass. :grin: :mrgreen:

I have my press bolted to a 2x6 peace of lumber that I clamp onto a table saw. Easy to mount when I want to reload and only minutes to pack away when not in use.
Keith
I would recommend that it is probably a good idea to verify how uniform the brass weight is within a same lot number. I once had a major problem that was only corrected when I checked how uniform the brass weight is. If by chance you are using Nosler brass, this step can be omitted.

I don't remember who it was, but one of the big bullet makers had made a 6.5mm 160gr RN. Since then, I have never been able to make the m38 Swedish mauser shoot anywhere near that good.
Keith
Hope the guys at the range understand if I show up with a pink 338 Lapua someday. Hehehe
If it shoots cloverleaves they shouldn't harass you too badly!
Keith
This is only my opinion, it seems like you may be asking too much for one shotgun. I would seriously encourage you to get a dedicated turkey gun. From my turkey hunting experience, the only stock design that I will ever look at again would be what Benelli calls their "steady grip"
Keith
Just a thought/ idea, would it be a wise idea to plug the barrel then secure the rifle with the muzzle down and fill cleaning solution up to the rifle chamber for a few hours?
Keith
It is my understanding that 90plus % of gunpowder is consumed within the first few inches of the rifle chamber. As for the muzzle flash, it is my understanding that what you are observing is what is called "flashover" this occurs once the bullet exits the barrel and the gases behind the bullet...
First of all I will say that I have never hunter moose. In talking to my Swedish relatives they tell me that most natives use a 6.5x55 and a 160 grain bullet. I guess the moose in Sweden don't know that a 6.5mm bullet should bounce off of their hide :shock:
