...and way easier to clean a bolt action than a semi.

In my very limited experience, 16 grains of 2400 pushed a lee 185 to 1350ish. 18 grains will get you right around 1600ish.

Bumping an old thread.
I just obtained some old diving weights and did my own homemade test on hardness. I took apart one of my son's skateboard bearings and got 7ct 5/32" (3.95mm) bearings out of...

So, complete noobie here. I have a lendlease savage 2 groove that I've cast the throat on. No rifling until .7" in front of the chamber. Weatherby would be proud. Good news is the bore is 303/313 and...

Sorry - they were purchased as-is from a guy who purchased them from Competiton Bullets Inc. in Edmonton, Alberta. The company seems to be out of business. They should be ready-to-go.

The boolits...

For those that helped this newbie with my previous load advice thread, thank you. I've just loaded up a few last night, haven't shot them but have a couple questions:

I bought some prefab...

Well for some reason it's $9 up here at walmart so I went to my local thrift store (I think americans call it the goodwill store) and bought a bag for $2 yesterday. I was pleased. I can see that the...

I asked John Barsness a question on 24hrcf recently: Can I reduce imr4895 to 60% the same as h4895 recommends on their youth loads? He feels they both behave very similarly in reduced...

I had the same blank stare this Saturday at my local Fabricland here in Canada as well, Nrut. Finally, I just asked for pillow stuffing. I guess the name Dacron isn't used up here anymore. When they...

Looking at the RCBS 7mm-145-SIL mold and my boolits, it appears that this is exactly what they are. The guy I bought them from said he was shooting silhouette. Thanks for the tip on accurizing, MT.

ok - so this is funny. I walk into the autoparts store in town and there's an employee with a big white bushy beard (just like most of the members here, I guess) and I ask him if there's anything...

They are Pre-fab bullets from "Competition bullets, inc., edmonton alberta" who are now out of business so it appears. Labeled "Mag Alloy" Rear GC and two driving bands are 284, nose is 278-279.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your suggestions and comments. It's not so easy to make it happen in a pinch around here. I live in a small town in Canada and I don't have ready access to...

Hello - first real post here except for disclosing in the lurkers thread.

I have a savage 110 in 7mag that I would like to get some trigger time on. I just purchased 800-284 GC boolits (they...

Ok, you flushed me out of the British Columbia underbrush. Don't do any casting but was interested in shooting cast so I picked up a box of 800 7mm GC 145 grainers and so here I am. Haven't shot any...
