thanx for the reply. i think i'm gonna try it tomorrow.

Hi all. I'm trying to work up a load for my 7x57, but i'm just not getting a group that pleases me. What i'm trying to build is a 140 AB with RL19 powder. With 50 grains, i'm pretty well into the neck of the case, so i guess it would be fair to say that after seating the bullet, it is pretty...

i suppose i have to follow suit. my preference is 65.5 grns of rl22 and a 140 AB. Absolute tack driver from my ruger 77. if you should choose to go with a 150, (partition or BT) 64 grns of imr 4831 produces the same accuracy. i'm not sure about the velocity, but i'm positive that it's not...

hi guys, i just purchased my first 7x57 in the CZ American. Anyone have a favorite recipe?

hey guys. i've been working alot, so i've been slow to reply. thanks for all the input. i kept a few of the rem cases, but trashed the rest. basically, i got scared of them. i'm pretty sure that something was going on during the sizing process, but none the less i've returned to the...

i've come in late in this topic, but i too have had the same deformation problems. the problem is that there isn't a protected point offered in 7mm. i now have just switched to accubond with hopes that it will perform similar to the partition, but as stated before, the partition is a tried and...

absolutely. in fact, each case was trimmed to 2.49 exactly. coal is also uniform with what i've always shot in this rifle. the only variable is the brass. after talking with some guys at work, i don't suppose that it's too far-fetched too think that perhaps the case was sticking to the...

Hey guys, quick question. Has anybody other than me had trouble with re-sized Remington brass? Particularly how well they do/don't feed? I've just finished a batch of 7 Rem mag, and four of twenty won't let the bolt close freely. I would normally question the die or my process, but during...

sorry to offend you 25-06. didn't realize what a stake you personally have in the structural integrity of a bullet that nosler themselves recommend to not be used over 3000fps in a hunting situation. not to mention the miraculous (if not super-human) 3200 that you speak of from a 25-06. the...

you can never have too much rifle! however, it's been my experience that a ballistic tip is just too fragile at this velocity. what i would do is switch to a partition or accubond. i was alot more satisfied after switching to a partition...respectable but not too large on the exit, and never...

64 grains of IMR4831 and a 150 nosler of your choice. i'm partial to the Partition for a hunting situation, and the BT for bench shooting. Both rounds fly about the same...tack drivers!

same here. i tumble with corn cob media and cap full of polishing liquid. i've never had any trouble or noticeable behavior by not cleaning the inside, but i throw mine out after 5 loadings. i wouldn't worry.

one last note...i loaded another batch of ten this evening with no buckled casings. i'm positive that this was due to the depth at which the die was seated, but to be safe, i also trimmed each case within .oo2. at any rate, the die worked as prescribed, all 4 slits were even, and all...

hey guys. i've just seen the latest postings, and must admit that the brass in question was not trimmed or mic'd. i did size it and i did chamfer it, but as it was new, i assumed that it would be ok on length. riddle me this...isn't the selling point of the lee die the fact that it doesn't...

hey all, here's the low down. yes, the die does match...no offense taken. as to the factory directions, as i interpret the directions, "yes" i am following them. i don't have them in front of me, but as well as i can remember, as the die tightens towards maximum crimp...the four slits in the...

hey guys, here's a quick question. i recently ran my first batch of 7mag ammo through a lee crimp die. of the 10 rounds that i crimped, 3 were buckled in the shoulder area. a friend of mine (also new to this die) had the same experience with the die in a different cxaliber. any words of...

there appears to be quite alot of sentimental value placed on the performance of the BT bullet. before you sell your soul to the BT bullet, take a look at the FAQ section of the homepage, you'll find a topic on velocities for reliable expansion. it is recommended on this page by Nosler to not...

I may be the oddball here, but i would not recommend this bullet/velocity combination. i've shot a couple with the 150 bt's and was less than impressed. i guess shot placement is the key, but if you catch a shoulder on entrance, my experience is that it has a good potential to turn out ugly...

Hey guys, i've seen your replies and appreciate you taking the time to answer. I too have came to the conclusion of try 'em and see. I definitely feel more relaxed about them after hearing of a 60 yard successful shot. to be honest, that is the distance that i've been worried about...not the...

I currently hunt WT deer with the 150 Partition. This bullet with 64 grns of IMR 4831 has produced outstanding, lightning strike results. The only drawback has been the deformation of the tips. Because of this, I'm considering switching to the AB, as i have had bad results out of the BT with...
