I have shot Hornady 55gr SX bullets since about 1970. They are great and never ricochet. I load them in a 223 rifle and pistol.

A little off topic. But do you know where I can get 15" encore barrels in 6.5X55 and 338Fed??

I have used a number of different Hornady Rifle brass cartridges. I have not had troubles with them. I do get a higher FPS with them and the lowest FPS with Nosler brass. Same exact load and they also print to different places on the target. Both shoot small groups but not just together.

Treated corn cob with a dryer sheet cut into 1/4ths for each batch

I use both styles. I have the Talley vertically split rings on 2 Weatherby MKV rifles and the have been excellent. Also use weaver rings and weaver style as well as the Leupold style. No complaints with any of them

I use RCBS Spray lube and try to get some in the case necks on at least some of them. I toss them into my tumbler(treated corn cob) with a cut up dryer sheet for a shot time after sizing to remove the lube inside and on the outside of the brass.

Yes they were the Hornady dies before they started calling them Hornady. Hornady had rifle/pistol and shotgun reloading equipment that they called Pacific. That was in the 1960's when I got my pacific stuff. Yes it is good stuff.

stay with the PAR bullet.

I am using starline 338Fed brass. I have used and still do their pistol brass

257R 6.5X55 30-06 338Fed 5.7X28 in a pistol

The 300gr loads would be my choice. You should also send me all your empty brass :)

For elk use Partition or Swift A-Frames for best results no matter the shot angle. I will be using A-Frames on my hunt and have used them on 2 trips to Africa for big to small animals. They are excellent

The 150gr TTSX should work quite well. Here is some data I worked up. Chrono 20' from muzzle Ruger Tang safety M77 rifle

Thanks

Is there a market for 223/5.56 range pick up mixed headstamp brass? I have several gallon sized baggies full that I do not need. If there is a market what is the going rate for it unprocessed? I also have some 38sp brass--once fired

seat them deep since they like bullet jump

Barnes calls for 56.5 as max. I have done best with 60.5grs of win748. fast and super accurate. No crimp

Nosler PAR or Swift bullets. These have works excellent for me in many different cartridges.

Crap. The so called locking rings are not locking. By the time you get real locking rings they are not the bargain you thought. Also I have had terrible experiences trying to get lee to warranty items they claim have a lifetime warranty. It was cheaper and easier to just buy new items. Get RCBS...
