I hate to be a pain but DrMike could you (or anyone else) run the quickload for RL17 and RL26 for a 100 gr Barnes TTSX? I'm wishing I bought e-tips now but oh well...
I use Retumbo with my 120 Partition load, never tried the 115. I do have about 2 pounds of it though. I kind of had my heart set on 100 grainers though - I bought a box of 100 gr TTSXs - I actually bought two then thought better of it. I do have a box of 110 Accubonds I've never tried as well...
Is IMR 7977 too new to be in the QuickLoad data? That powder sure looks interesting. I was surprised no retumbo either - that must be better for the heavier bullets?
See now I'm glad I asked! That changes how I'll do things. Well I have read online quite a few people talking RL17 up for velocity and accuracy even if it doesn't pencil out, and I have it so I thought I'd give it a try for a 100 gr. antelope load. I'd love to try other powders but I need to...
I would like to work up a load for a 100 gr. bullet in my 25-06 factory Remington with Reloder 17. Alliance lists 53 as a max, so I would like to work from 47.7 to 53. What is the most efficient way to do this?
I was thinking 3 rounds each at .5 intervals, pick the best and play with seating...
I thought I had this figured out and now I don't think I do.
I bought the headspace bushing. I haven't adjusted these numbers for the spacer, just reading straight off the caliper. I don't have once fired brass so working with what I had on hand:
This should be a pretty good sample for my...
Another thing, I had an issue previously where I was engaging my shell with the seating die and belling the case - visible to the eye: viewtopic.php?p=305926#p305926.
I fixed it (I thought) by always trimming to trim length, and then setting the seater 1 full turn below contact with the shell...
I'm was planning on buying the Hornady headspace bushing today - I already have the kit for measuring ogive. I do not have any once fired brass, my brass is pretty much all fired 3 times at this point. So, if I can't find brass I may need to buy some cheap factory ammo just to once fire...
You know it's a mixed bag of cheap brass. It's so tough to find and I haven't been inclined to spend more on high end brass. I would say win and remington. I did anneal my 3 times fired brass but haven't reloaded with that yet.
