OK. I went into QuickDesign and loaded a 375 RUM and necked it to 458. Loaded it in QL Cartridge : 458 ULT? Bullet : .458, 500, Hornady DGS 4507 Useable Case Capaci: 99.845 grain H2O = 6.483 cm³ Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.600 inch = 91.44 mm Barrel Length : 26.0 inch =...

Hate to admit it but found a pistol I’d hidden when leaving on a quick trip a couple years back. Knew I had it but couldn’t remember where I hid it. Man. Was moving some stuff and a mag bonked me on the head. I kind of went “huh?” Then I thought “aw man, I remember sticking it up there now”...

Bet you’re right. They’d be missing the boat without those. Seems $.80-1.25 each.

Nice deal. Something about a 30-30. Nostalgia, deer camp and so on. Lot of deer accounted for by that cartridge. I like Marlins also. I’d have probably walked out with it also. :grin:

I’ll probably “need” one so I can compare it to my old one :grin: It’s a terrific cartridge

You can get inside neck reamers if you search. They clean up the inside donuts pretty well.

Just an FYI in case you need it. In Winchester’s last brass run there was quite a bit of 300 Savage. You can find it online or pm me and I’ll grab however many you want. I saw some at a local store.

I’d go 30 cal to 284 or 277 then down. I’d also think about turning the necks to help prevent the bulge. Ideally you use a 284, 264, then 257 and the gradual drop should help as 350 mentioned.

I run mine a little slower because I couldn’t beat the accuracy Benchmark gave in my bolt rifle w 50s and 55s.

I’ll launch the computer and run it but Benchmark with that bullet will be the ticket. Probably around 24.5 or a little more. Work up. Give me a few minutes

The false shoulder method with a starting load works fine from my experience.

Anytime

Great advice there!

I really like the cartridge. Fun to shoot and flinging fairly heavy 224 bullets is fun too.

Here it is a little higher Cartridge : .308 Win. (SAAMI) Bullet : .308, 175, Sierra HPBT MatchK 2275 Useable Case Capaci: 48.846 grain H2O = 3.171 cm³ Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.855 inch = 72.52 mm Barrel Length : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm Powder : IMR 4064 ...
