There is also a write-up on how to find how much crimp. I think it starts with one 1/8 turn. It has been a few days since I've read it and there are parts of yesterday I don't remember. And access to loads that have worked for people with the Hunter and the Absolute.

I believe the Hammer forum will convince you to use the Lee FCD. My research on there convinced me. If you keep reading like I did, you will find a big thread about the Lee FCD.

So Nosler is at least making "Seconds." Just kidding!

Glad everyone has avoided a serious failure. I've dumped powder with no primers when getting back into reloading (pistol). Heck I've seen a squib with a factory load. The shooter didn't catch it, but a friend and I did. We called it out before he pulled the trigger on a second round. Always...

With all the fancy 7's, this cartridge just keeps calling my name...

I highly suggest watching Erik Cortina's video on finding jam. I've done it on two rifles. 280AI and 7-08. Easy peasy. Fired Case, Projectile, Case Lube and Sharpie Marker.

Check out Erik Cortina's video on finding jam.

That was my first thought also. I didn't see any with a quick search.

I did a few days detail in Nebraska. Now that is a small town that Hornady is located. But they are turning out bullets.

And at a reasonable price.

It still doesn’t make any sense to me for Nosler to use a 26” barrel for 7mm-08 load data.

The Hornady manual for 7-08 162 grain A-Max was very good for my 162 ELD-X. I ended up with 2653 at 39 grains of IMR 8208 XBR. I've never gotten anything that close with Nosler Data.

I have some 140 Partition. This is a copy paste of what I posted in an other thread earlier this year. I purchased them from Midway. Attached is the picture I posted. "I have .284 Partitions with a cannelure that were listed as overruns versus seconds. My research found they were probably...

I recently loaded new Lapua brass with 39 grains of IMR 8208 XBR under 162 ELD-X bullets. I got good groups at 2653 fps and a 4.7 SD. I may mess with seating depth next spring. My rifle is a Bergara B-14 Hunter. I'll be ordering a custom elevation turret. I don't have 150 ELD-X bullets but...

I switched to Zeiss when life blessings made it doable. I wouldn't go back if the blessings continue. I do have an eye on a Swaro...

I have .284 Partitions with a cannelure that were listed as overruns versus seconds. My research found they were probably overruns for Federal. My research also found that the cannelure is cut into the jacket versus crimped. The cannelure on mine are smooth. No crimp looking grooves. I hope...

Has Nosler ever listened to these wishes and followed through?

I have some of the yellow box Winchester in small pistol. So far they have all gone bang.

Very very kind offer sir. Hats of to you.

I really like those blocks. I wish I had gone that route instead of the Frankford Arsenal blocks. Congrats on the free bullets.
