    250 Gr Pt in a 358 Win

    What is the consensus on the 250 grain Partition at 358 Win speeds? I have a couple of hundred. I ran out of the 225s. I would be loading fir a Browning BLR. Varget, Tac, and BLC-2 for powders. Might get 2300 fps. Will be used for Roosevelt Elk at 150 yds or less. I've given up waiting to...

    Lee Pacesetter dies.

    Ordered from midway on sale. Not I'm pressed. No way to lock the die nut. It has a O ring. When you remove the die, everything you set comes undone. Not a positive locking system. Also, these .358 Winchester dies will not size up .308 cases. The expander is designed to slip, not break on...

    Well I ordered some Buffalo Bore .358 Win. 225 Sierra and TSX. Have many 225/250 Partitions to load, but packed up loading gear several months ago in anticipation of a move that is taking to long. I won't be able to this year. Any thoughts? Shooting a 20 inch BLR. Roosevelt Elk in timber...

    Understanding SAAMI Pressures, or not?

    So, looking at the SAAMI website at the .358 Winchester I saw they do not have a pressure listed for it and many other cartridges. "Piezo pressure not established". I assume they are, retesting with modern equipment and have not got to some yet. I, in my very limited reloading knowledge...

    My bittersweet Elk.

    I was hunting in the thick, steep, dark and wet timber. Typical of Western Washington Roosevelt Elk. Late in the afternoon, the light, what there is of it was waning even though it was an hour before sundown. The canopy does the here. I scanned up the side of the ridge to my left, then down...
