    Anyone Forming 225 Winchester Brass

    I have 3 boxes of factory 225 ammo as well as a partial box of once fired brass. $200 and it's all yours.

    Powder for 300 swim?

    Mine prefers 190 gr. LRAB and RL-17. Superformance does deliver the claimed speeds with 15o and 165 g. bullets, but not at the accuracy level I was looking for. I have some Stayball6.5, but haven't yet tried it in my WSM.

    Old Lever Rifle.

    My 71 is a Browning with a rifle length barrel. It doesn't get out much since I purchased a Winchester M88 in 358. The 200 gr. FTX bullet is the bees knees if you need to stretch your shots.

    30-06 & 180...

    You guys and your RL-26 & Superformance! 😁 I've got at least 12 pounds of H4350 to burn through before I switch 30-06 powders. (y) Great results you're posting though. Guy *************** If you have a stash of H4350, you're in good shape. My old 22" Ruger 30-06 thrives on 180 gr. NBT and...

    Should you have dies, I'd be interested.

    Reloading for the 280 Ross

    I just joined the M1910 280 Ross club today and checked off one of my bucket list rifles. Now to find that 375 Ruger brass I stashed away for a rainy day... John

    Check your flight information!

    The good news; we will be flying home via London. Never been there before, never been anywhere but Canada and Mexico. She has been Everywhere except Antarctica. She has friends who are still with the State Department in London. Planning a whirl wind tour of London during our 8 hour layover. Oh...

    Check your flight information!

    I get weary of the airline games. They jack your flight schedule around until it no longer meets your need, then offer to be generous by allowing you to re-book your flight at a higher price. About the same ethics as a loan shark.

    Blue Cyclone has a Rival... :)

    I shoot 59 gr. of Retumbo in my 25-06 with the 115 BT and get 3164 fps. Pressures seem reasonable in >>my rifle<< and Gordon's software shows it below 60kpsi.

    .350 Legend Experience

    I have a 350 Legend on a AR platform. Nice low recoiling round, but way behind the 35 Whelen as far as performance.

    Old Primers

    I got some primers from the 60's is a collection of reloading equipment. I wasn't going to risk using them for reloading, but they found a use fireforming cases using the Cream of Wheat method. 99% or so fired on the first try and most of the others responded to a second strike.

    New to me - 338-06 AI

    I bought some of the Midway bullets for my 338 Federal, but they would be great in the 338-06 AI as well.

    280 Ackley

    My 280 Ackley is a beanfield rifle wearing a 28" 8 twist PacNor barrel. The long barrel helps digest slow burning powders and so I can get 3200 fps with 140NAB and 3000 with 160NAB and sub-MOA accuracy at 400 yds. if I do my part. For the most part I use Fed 210M primers in my loads except when...

    Lever options.

    I'm a Winchester M88 fan and have several in 308 and one each of 243, 284, and 358. I just like how they come up to my shoulder and point where I'm looking. To me that is the most important attribute of a brush rifle for close in work. The 358 is tough to beat for a cartridge that can throw a...

    .308 pistol load ?

    Just ran some simulations on Gordon's and it looks like H4895 is the best choice for velocity.

    25-06 & 85 BT's Best Powder....

    H4350 just because my rifle shoots it well with 100 gr. BT.

    25-06 & 85 BT's Best Powder....

    I can't begin to estimate the number of rounds that I've sent downrange to find something slightly faster or more accurate. It's going down a rabbit hole and little good will come out of it. Between H4350, Varget, and H4895 you have three reasonable powders for launching 85 gr. bullets out of...

    25-06 & 85 BT's Best Powder....

    I use 100 gr. NBT and H4350 in my 25-06 and get outstanding accuracy. H4350 will likely give you the highest velocity of the powders listed, but Varget and H4895 will be less than 100 fps slower at MOP.

    25/06 standard or Ackly?

    A 25-06 pushing a 110 gr. NAB with RL26 is less than a full case by the time you reach max pressure.
