Well founded advice! The 73gr of IMR 7383 is too hot for the warmer weather. Hard extraction and flowing primers. I would surmise that 71gr would be the max load in temps above freezing and would...

That would be SALUT. I'm using 6.7gr of SALUT with a 200gr RNSP in a Sig220 (.45ACP) Nice and accurate, meters well and burns cleaner.

If you like the performance qualities of Unique, I'd suggest trying some Russian SALUT. I've been using 5.6gr in my Sig P220 w/200gr RNFP. Great groups, meters well and its about $11 lb. I even used...

Be careful with the pull down 147gr FMJ. Some are resized fron 7.62X54 Russian. They are steel jacket, copper washed but the real issue is the length of the bearing surface. I worked up to 45gr of...

Anyone have any luck with the .308 and WC860?

Worked up a load for my 300 Win Mag with WC860 that I got from Pat's Reloading. It is cleaner burning that the IMR7383 and gives me a chronographed 2954fps. I use 90gr of WC860, CCI LR Mag Primers,...

My only experience is with 7383 and 300 Win Mag, but the following may help:

Seat your bullets so they are approx .020" from the rifling. I've found that even the heaviest crimp isn't enough with...

SALUT measures as well as W231! During the course of loading 500 rds on my XL650 it stays right on 5.7gr. No gumming up, no catching, just very consistant charges.

Da, Unikski!

I like 5.7gr a lot better. The groups were as good, if not better than the 5.5 loads and a lot easier on the P220. I didn't get to chrono this go around. Just too many shooters on...

I just finished shooting my 6.0 gr loads and the move up from 5.5 gave quite a step up in velocity! I went from+/- 700 fps to a nominal 925fps on the chrono. Still accurate, but I'm going to step it...

If you buy 1 or 2 jugs at a time you're correct. If you get 4, then you save the $$. From what I see the price is only going to go up. So, as soon as they can figure out how to tax the internet sale...

Not to hijack, but.................How do you like the Quickload program?

Chrono results for .45ACP:

Brisk morning out there, slight breeze and some flurries. 5.5gr SALUT, 200gr Dardas RNFP, CCI LP, mixed brass. SD 44, ES 140.

Just a word of caution.............................

Words of caution are always accepted and respected.

SALUT is also referred to as "Russian Unique" and I used Unique load data. The nice benefits to this powder are it burns much cleaner than Unique, measures like a dream, and it is shipped in .3kg...

Picked up some SALUT from Pat's reloading and married 5.5gr of it up with a 200gr cast RNFP from Dardas. Great combination and very little smoke! Fired from a Sig P220 with the stock recoil spring....

For those of you that have been following this thread on IMR 7383, I believe I have found, most, if not all of the problems I have encountered trying to find "the" load for my 300 Win Mag.

I...

Got the Konus scope installed, colomated, and took the thunderstick to the range. Pretty good velocity results from both the IMR7383 and WC860 with 190gr BTSP.

IMR7383. Seems the higher the...

I think your conversation with TSA shoud prove to be very interesting too!:veryconfu

I believe the powder you are looking at is SALUT. It probably came in a small black plastic bottle and is referred to as "Russian Unique". I suggest you start with the minimum Unique load for...

Just a quick follow-up. I sent the scope back to KONUS in Miami, FL. last week. They received it on Friday along with a letter explaining that I felt the scope wasn't holding a zero. Got an email...

It's back and what a difference in the felt recoil! I swear the kick is less than a .223 bolt action and the muzzle jump is almost non-existent. Now I have to sort out some other issues.
...

Well I may finally have my XCR back for the weekend. Weather permitting, we'll see how well the Holland Radial Brake tames the muzzle jump from a bench rest position. BTW, the size Holland brake...

[QUOTE=GooseGestapo;370417]I think you'll like the WC860 in the WinMag.

My .300RemUltMag and .257WbyMag love the WC860. I've gotten my best results in both cartridges with the WC860. Lucky I...

NO, No, send it to me! I know I can come up with the HAZMAT/shipping.
