Larry,
Will Varget also work in my 338? If so, any recommendations as to how much charge for a Siera 250 gr Match King bullet?
Thanks

Thanks
Lots of good info here. Thanks to everyone for your recommendations.
Just as I figured, it looks like I have more work to do.
I have the opportunity to go long range shooting next month (600-1000 yards) and I am looking for some load recommendations. To date, I haven't shot past 300 yards, so I'm in unknown territory. The...
Thanks all for the info. Looks like I'll just have to experiment and see what works best. Like "gtwpercle" said......if it were easy, then it wouldn't be so much fun.
Thanks again.
I want to start reloading 338 Win Mag for my Hawkeye Mark II, but I can't find a definitive answer to this question. Can anyone shed light on whether it's necessary/desirable to crimp these rounds. ...

Thanks John. This is way more information than I had up to now. I wonder if the one piece extractor would work with my bolt. I can't imagine there would be two different bolts for 22 short. ...

I have a Winchester 1873 in 22 short rimfire. I'm finding that information on this rifle configuration is in short supply.
The problem is it won't extract the case. Looking at the extractor and...
Looks like a bad idea, so I will pass on it. Thanks to all for your input.
Since my original post, I have been able to acquire some H4198. I will be giving this a try as per the loading manuals.
What if I used a filler to hold it back against the primer hole?
H110 is working so well for my 44 mags in 200 and 240 gr jacketed hollow points, I was wondering if it would also work in my 45/70. I'll be shooting 300 and 405 gr lead bullets form a Marlin 1895.
...
It was my assumption that this is the same powder used in the factory LeverRevolution loads for 44 mag and 45/70 since the names and artwork are the same. Hornady LeverRevolution factory ammo does...
So is this not the same powder Hornady puts in their Leverrevolution 45/70 and 44 mag cartridges? I get great results with this factory ammo in both guns and it is plenty fast and accurate.
Hodgdon does not list load data for these two powders for 45/70 or 44mag, but Hornady makes loads for both with it. Accurate and fast in my Marlin 1895GS and Ruger 77/44. I am wondering if anyone...

+1 for the Skinner sights. I put a set on my 1895gs and absolutely love them. Waaaaay better than the buckhorn set-up that came on the rifle and they look good too. Most of my rifles are scoped,...
Thanks to everyone for the quick responses. They have been very helpful.
M-Tecs, Thanks for the Lyman #44 download.
Now all I need is for my brass and bullets to show up and I'll be spending...
I have a ton of Unique powder for my pistols. I am going to start reloading 45-70 and I was wondering if anyone had a load using Unique. I will be using Cast Performance bullets (lead, flat nose)...
That's a little scary. I was using 9, 9.5, and 10 gr loads of unique in a 44mag load with a 240 gr LSWC bullet through my Ruger Super Redhawk. The 9 and 9.5 grain loads shot fine, but the 10 grain...
I finally got an opportunity to shoot my reloads. I loaded 4.5 gr and 5 gr rounds with the 158 LSWC bullets. I seated them to an OAL length of 1.470 inches. Through my GP100 I saw very little...

This will be handy around the shop. Thanks for posting it.
I checked out the MD Smith site. Lots of good info there.
Thanks to all for the help. I am in the process of loading up some rounds now, but it may be next week before I get to shoot them. ...
It looks like the general consensus is around 5 grains. I think I'll load some at 4.5 and some at 5 and see how it goes. Thanks for all the help.
I have a second question for those of you...
Thanks everyone for your replies. I think I'll start with 4 grains and work up from there.
HI.
I'm new to this board and to reloading in general. I am looking to re-load 38 special with 158 grain LSWC bullets and Unique powder. I am wanting to load more for accuracy than ultimate...
