Congrats on the handgun first. One of these years I’ll have to scratch that one off my list too.

More of a tinkering project , load up some single round to find pressure or run out case capacity then put some on paper. These were rounds 11-16. First 7 were 45-50 grains to see where I would pressure out , done last Sunday. Yesterday 8-10 were shot to warm the barrel. I now know these will...

My 7mm-08 and 460 Wby were the only 2 drop-ins that required no work. It seems post covid their quality has taken a turn.

A lot of my Wby cartridges don’t have much published load data out there for bullets I shoot. This is where QL is handy , it gets me an idea where to start and work up.

Today got around to shoot some of those in my S2 Vanguard. I’m using American Reloading MP-521 powder , sold as BL-C2 equivalent. This stuff has given me good ES in every cartridge I’ve tried it in. Overall I’m satisfied in the outcome on a small work up. 47grs 48grs

Congrats on your 1’st deer👍 That’s why I like my big Wbys , instant dead.

That is the target speed I was thinking about.

Not sure what happened with Guy here. He does post on other forums yet and Fotis’s Handloader’s Paradise FB page. I also miss his videos on UR.

Merry Christmas to all

If you subtract the $25 gift card I got from work , then they’re $35/1000. Now that sounds familiar.

The last time I bought RL-17 was $23.00/lb from Brownells with their $0.01 shipping/hazmat. They used to run that deal a lot back in the day.

Merry Christmas

For about 25yrs I only had a Remington 7400 in 308 Win , times are sure different today.

$60.05 with tax out the door today at my local FleetFarm. These will set aside for my 378 Wby when it’s finished.

Just trying to wrap my head around this. 2 primer , 4 powders and 5 bullets all with the same results. Back when I started with my Muzzeloader I thru charges by volume and never saw that much spread.

Man I’m going to have to pass on it. I’ve stocked up on 8lbers of H4350 , Superformance , Hybrid 100V and N560 to last a long time. By the time I burn thru all of this the price might be more affordable.

What I’m referring to is the bottom. Every stock for B&C needed to be cleaned up so the bottom metal/trigger guard drops in smoothly. That’s the biggest issue I’ve found with them on the Wby MarkV and Vanguards.

YES!😁

Have you marked these to see if they are carrying over to other loads with poor ES? Is there a pattern to which shots are slower or are they just random?

The first thing I do with a new B&C stock is chuck up a small drum sander in the drill press and relieve around the action screw so the bottom metal drops in smoothly. I’ve had to do this to every one I bought. A couple I’ve had to shimmed the back action screw to level the bottom metal.
