    To Crimp or not Crimp

    I crimp all pistol and rifle rounds for semi and ba's (don't own any rrevolvers). It's a choice as we use what works for the individual! I will say 357sig need a crimp as there's not much neck to hold the bullet very well. Probably any bottleneck pistol cartridges need it.

    .223 Coyote Load?

    62-75gr would work the average on distance as lighter might not be as good when windy or past 300 yards on a 16" barrel.

    Powder consistency with Dillon 550B

    I've used my 550b since '84 and 550c since '16 with good success. When I started reloading in '84 it was for 44mag and 264wm. With the 2nd stage being their powder die and hopper is set it @ 61.3gr of imr4831 for the 140sbt sierra's. I never chrono'd any back then, but seem to be very...

    Federal’s 7mm Backcountry

    THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS SUPPOSED TO BE WITH 15K EXTRA PSI ON MAX FOR THE ADVANTAGE ON SMALLER CAPACITY CASES. NOTHING DIFFERENT THAN THE 277FURY, BUT W/O THE 2-PIECE CASE. SURE YOU CAN GET THE SAME VELOCITIES WITH THE SAME BARREL LENGTH OF THE 7BC, BUT REQUIRES A LARGER CAPACITY...

    Another Model 70

    Any pre64 is a winner! Great find! I tried getting Winchester to replace the barrel on the '61 model 264wm of my dad's, but wouldn't do it since it still meets their moa (1.5 or 1.25) before they'll replace it on their nickel. I've put over 2,500 rounds down the pipe since i started...

    16" vs 24" .308 Win Velocity...

    For 308win to me anything less than 16" isn't very efficient. 18-22" for 150-168's is near perfect. I only have 1 308win with a barrel longer than 22" (26"rock river ar).

    44 mag bullet opinions please...

    sierra's 210sjhp worked well for me. but then again there wasn't anything the 629 8 3/8 didn't like. 180's would be my choice tho. as far as the gold dots go, i haven't tried any in the 44mag, but did shoot some in the 50ae. since deep (wt & mule) are thin skinned the xtp's would work...

    7 PRC or 28N, I'm pulling my hair out! **UPDATED**

    if i ever get around to annealing, i want to do a 264x300wm and/or a 277x300wm or just do 300prc versions as to keep the .540 face. the 416r face would be a bit much and there would be a lack of action choices and they'll be heavier.
