CBA website is back up and running.

You are spot on. Hardening from Saeco 7 to Saeco 10 did the trick. My bullets are now the same diameter as pulled from a seated round as they were before being seated.
Now I have to see how they...

Mark Stripes, Area7 Director, told me that the webmaster has been notified.

I think that a 260 Rem seat die could be an option to try, or maybe try my .250 Sav seat die. It may not squeeze as much!
I wish I had a 260 Rem die.

Perhaps you missed the fact that this bullet is PLAIN BASED and thus there is no room for a gas check!

They look to be having problems on the CBA forum. I have a CBA match this Saturday, and if area 7 director Mark Stripes is in attendance, I will ask him what's going on.

Folks I am trying to shoot a NOE 260 118rf in a Remington 700 .25-06. This NOE design is a plane base design so NO gas check.
I found that the RCBS .25-06 seating die is squeezing my bullet down...

Anybody else having trouble using the CBA website?
Specifically posting on same.

If you heat treat a bullet and then powder coat it at 400 degrees and slowly let the bullet cool, is the hardness that was obtained by heat treating reduced?

Is that the Lee part number 90798?

Yes, I am using the Lyman m die with a 25 cal plug and it evidently doesn't expand the neck enuff!

Will the NOE expander fit into the Lyman M die that I already have?

I pulled a bullet and it measured .2567. Way too small! There in lies my problem.


I loaded some .261 bullets in cases that were fired but not sized and the leading was non-existent!
Thanks for...

I am sizing to. 2585 in a custom push thru Lee type sizer.
This size works well with my RCBS 25-120 that wears agas check. With this RCBS mould I get no leading.

Surely somebody has a theory about what is going on here!��

Bullet is the NOE 260-118RF in plain base.
Powders are Smokes traffic purple and Smokes flat black.
Both covered very well, at least as well as the RCBS 25-120 that doesn't lead, but used a gas...

I have a custom Remington 700 in 35 Whelen with a 1:12 twist It loves the Lyman 358009 cast from 10:1 (ww:lino) and heat treated. Velocity is 2200fps. It has accounted for 2 bull moose, 1 bull elk...

I feel fortunate to have a Lee clone of the 311041 in 6 cavity.
I'm looking for a load with it for my 336 Marlin.

Did Smoke give a reason why he's not carrying Traffic Purple any longer?
Traffic purple and JD Green are the best powders for covering that I have found in Smokes line of powders.

Those who are from Pittsburgh. Home of the Stillers. How do yinz like dat!?

Any of you Hornet fans have any excess brass?
I have a good friend who is looking for some.
PM me if you do.

I believe that a member here by the handle of " Ammohead" used to make a push through type.
Perhaps he still does!?

A piece of rough leather, like a work glove, will usually remove lead smears from a mould or sprue plate that is hot. As others have said, a minute amount of 2 stroke motor oil on the underside of...

I almost bought a couple of hundred cases that were supposedly. 250 Savage reformed from .270 Winchester. They were tried in my bolt action Savage MDL 16 and wouldn't fit. Upon measuring, we found...

When I lived in Pa. 50 years ago, the best gun shows were in Greensburg.
Do they still have them?
