A buddy tells a story of his dad bringing home a brand new Model 12 in 16 gauge for Mom's birthday present.

When Chris got home his dad told him he needed to retrieve the birthday present from...

Loaddata has a listing attributed to MODERN RELOADING Second Edition - Richard Lee, that shows 748 with 150 grain bullets.

I'm not on my laptop where I can retrieve the load data.

Never used...

And the last one to the top, getting time to kill these 3 listings and try something else.

And go cut the grass, finish loading that batch of 30 Carbine and 6.5 Creedmoor.

There's Cape Buffalo out there just itchin' to get whacked with boomer bullets and powder.

The wife's flowers don't need that much fertilizer.

Haven't gotten any nasty grams, I'm assuming all the SPF stuff has arrived safely.

Still got stuff.

This will explain the 2400, 16 grain load way better than I can:

Didn't check, but I remember the 16 grain military cast load as being recommended for 8mm-30-06 sized cases. I've used it a lot in those sized cases, I'm not sure how they would work in a 45-70.

It appears to work on the water lines, NOT the drain fittings. There have been places that would have been handy. I try and avoid under sink stuff.

Vertigo while laying on my back inside a sink...

Shoot them "on the wing" and you won't have this problem [smilie=l:

Need to get a 310 on the way[smilie=w:

YES!

I do have 58 pieces, some once fired some I think were just formed and never fired. Make me an offer I can't refuse.

I detailed my steps to form the brass...

I may have some, don't think I sold that brass yet.

Did your buddy just get the rifle from a dealer in SE Michigan? If he did the brass I have was fired in that rifle. I don't have the dies...

A friend said she saw a few flurries this morning in SE Michigan. I've seen snow as late as June and as early as September here. Just flurries nothing that ever stuck.

Pretty weird cultivating...

Most likely one from last years brood. They grow slooow.

Best story is my oldest sister commenting that she never sees turtles in SE Michigan. I sent her probably 8 photos in 2 weeks of turtles I...

I've got a 24x32 heated work shop with a full compliment of woodworking tools, plus a South Bend lathe and all the casting and reloading stuff needed for 70+ calibers/gauges. Plus a separate 12x36...

I've got one, it was given to me 3-4 years ago. I haven't had the time to fool with it much. I'll dig out my load data for it. I think I used a NOE 150 grain spire point. Fun little rifle to shoot.

Gonna get my hands slapped for kibbitzing, the Lee trim gages to me are a superior system.

And more available than (and less expensive).

And you can make your own gages for "esoteric"...

Do a "google" search for "Savage bolt disassembly", you'll find a number of videos and text descriptions of how to do it. It's pretty straight forward.

Here's one:

And me getting the stink eye from my doctor on Monday because my A1C is up to 7.5.

You people are evil.

Thanks for the pointers on where to buy the brass, I don't really need the brass, this was more a "can it be done" question.

I was stopping at a gun shop this afternoon that had a nice 7.5x55...

I've tried multiple searches for information on forming 7.5x55 cases to no avail.

Is my google-fu on the fritz?

Is it the wrong phase of the moon?

Or so simple that any low grade moron could...

458 isn't easy to come by, push comes to shove, you can form from other cases, that's what I ended up having to do. I even wrote up what worked for me, it should still be in the case forming section....

Not once fired, but I'm pretty sure I can come up with at least 100 Hornady, all fired in the same rifle.

Let me know if you're interested.

Is it in the cool yellow cans? Used some 230P last month. Probably the same vintage, finding data for that was a challenge.

That said my 1976 Winchester freebie powder manual only listed 540, no...

What is this new brass thing that is being bandied about?:kidding:
