We are already at the point where most bullets don’t hold up to presently attainable velocities. Everything changes.

It’s entirely possible that they weren’t designed as being immediately reloadable. If it’s not reloadable the factory controls supply and demand, that equals price and who gets paid. I do have a question. Do die manufacturers have to pay royalties to market and produce dies for a wholly...

It should be a good shooter. Bergara brought Mr. Shilen in to teach their techs how to build a barrel. I’ve heard that the Cascades are good quality rifles. Great find!

I think I read somewhere that the Cascade is made by Bergara for CVA.

Sorry, my mistake. I’d be looking to do the same thing you are then. I also sight for a 200 yard zero.

The heart wants what the heart wants, but what’s the reason to not let the optic perform the elevation calculation? I went off the premise that the riflescope calculates range and POI. If I’m wrong my apologies.

I’ll bet we are all using electric hydraulic presses to size and deprime before it’s over. Maybe not for everything, but steel cases seem to be where things are headed. I also wonder if they are using primers specifically suited to the pressure. What the headspace specs are as the case doesn’t...

Before Covid VV powders were what most other powders were compared to. It was the Cadillac of powders. Since Hodgdon and Alliant blew their prices sky high they have kinda been passed over. Hodgdon and Alliant invest so much in advertising that I think they have caused many to forget about VV...

32” of drop at 500 yards is pretty impressive. A 75gr boattail at 3500 fps sure would flatten out a PRS competition range, and lighten the rifles a good bit. I’m thinking a progressive twist barrel would extend barrel life for civilian rifles.

Here this may help

Well, it is a couple, 3 years old. Lol

I used to have a 458 WM and ran mostly light loads in it. Looking back at my notes IMR or H4198 will work for you as well. I was running 300 gr. Sierra or Hornady with 50 grains of IMR4198 for a shade over 1800 fps. It was a pussycat in the heavier rifle. If using either 4895 I just stick to...

All dies I have are Redding. Also, as said here before. If you have trouble with a die, replace it with Redding and your problem will be solved.

I’m extremely happy with the X-Caliber barrel they made for me. That rifle will be a hell of a shooter for you. Edit: It’s also a very handsome rifle. Congrats.

I hate that our muzzleloader season here in Ohio is in early January. Essentially every doe is carrying a fawn at that point. Pulling the trigger carries a little sting with it for me, but I go if I have tags left.

Absolutely beautiful Dan. You did a great job! I love my .54’s.

Thank you. It’s an Accurate mold. They group as well as jacketed. Best mold I’ve ever owned. It throws bullets at .460”. I size to .459” with the gas check.

I’d like to see Ruger bring back the 22” barreled 1895, and don’t thread the dang muzzle.

Congratulations Dan!

I figured I was overthinking things again.
