    For hunting, Lyman 311041. I don't know what the Spanish .308 will feed. If it doesn't like the Lyman, try Lee C309-170-FN or RCBS 180FN.

    For target, Lyman 311091.

    I wonder if having the barrel/action cryo treated would help?

    Surp 860 should be great with it as is.

    Try two taps to fill and two taps to dispense (like you do with an IMR powder to prevent bridging) and see if it makes a difference.

    Are you sure it's thoroughly clean? Maybe there is something...

    Scrounger,
    Compare the data for both cases in 10" Contender barrels in the Sierra manual. That will tell you what you are looking to find out. I don't think there's a whole heck of a lot of...

    Try loose Pyrodex RS if you are looking for better accuracy than with pellets. "Minute of deer" is easy with the pellets and they are MUCH faster to reload with in the field, but the "sweet spot" for...

    Start off with a .45cal MaxiBall and see what it does. Many FN boolits cast for .45ACP or .45Colt if cast of soft lead will work in a m/l with the proper lube, too. See if it will stabilize a prb....

    Swiss K31, no question. For accuracy and quality workmanship nothing can beat them. But pre-war (WWII) 98 Mausers and M1 Garands come close behind.

    Papaya extract in marinade (or in the crock pot) is a really good tenderizer. Roasting in a cooking bag on a bed of vegetables is another great method, too.

    Lee C312-185 is a good boolit in my Arisaka. I had best results with 3031, but RE7, 4895, & 4064 worked well. Only your rifle can tell you what it likes best.
