Ok I tried to Anneal a few cases tonight. I used the 1 Mississippi method counting to 7. Here's my results. You can see the color line just below the shoulder. My only concern is they never turned a dull orange at all. I also Annealed a old 7mm case to see how long it takes to start turning a...
This is exactly the way I load also. The CM1500 drops a charge, I transfer to my beam scale, fill case, and seat bullet while the CM1500 is dropping the next charge. Mine doesn't get as much use as others since I only use it to load .300wm, 7mmRM, and .300RUM. I only load 300 - 400 rounds per...
GREAT press! I have 2 RL550b's for pistol, and .223 loads, and 2 RCBS Rock Chuckers for the rest of my bottle neck loads. I plan on adding a 650 once I finish my new reloading shop. I have ran a 650 a few times, and really love loading on them. From my observation a case feeder is a must, and...
Thanks! I will keep this in mind. I haven't tried the 140's, and didn't know how well they would stay together at 7mm RM velocities. I may try some out after season is over.
Really! :shock: Thats something else! I may run to Bass Pro today. I know when I was looking for new brass, and 180gf AB's for my 300wm everyone was out, but Bass Pro had 2 bags of brass, and 5-6 boxes of 180gr AB on the shelf.
You know it's funny how different parts of the country has...
Thanks Darkhorse. I haven't been to Adventures in 5yrs. It's a haul for me since I live near Athens. I do need to visit Glock soon for my yearly free check up on my G22. Might have to stop in Adventures while I'm in the area!
Thanks! I should be ok. I have plenty 180grAB loaded for my 300wm. I was planning on trying the AB's in my 7mm, but due to the lack of bullets, I may have to wait. If I locate some, I will work on my load, and try them next year.
First....Thanks for the welcome! I have been hanging out, and reading for a year now! I have about 12yrs of reloading 6 handgun calibers, and .223 under my belt. I started loading for my .300wm, and 7mm RM three years ago.
I have been following Gunbot.net, watching SPS, Grafs, PV, Midsouth...
As my title says, what's the deal with the 284" 160gr Accubonds? I have been searching for them since Feb/March. I am just about out of PT's, and would really like to work up a load for my 7mm RM. I am completely sold on the 180gr AB for my .300WM.
