Went through everything looking for 35 Rem brass. Selling my old 1950 waffletop

Midwestreloaders.com has h322 8# 245.00 worth a call I would think

Back when Obama got into the WH, I purchased a bunch of powders, H322 was one of them.. still have 16lbs of it but your a bit far away to sell a lb.

Good to see someone else has tried a heavy weight in the 300 Sav. I'm going to try lite loads as well with 700x and unique since I have a lot of those.
I see your up a ways from where I was born...

Has anyone here tried a 200gr cast round nose bullet in a 300 Savage?
I found 2 loads using IMR 4350 and IMR 4895 but wanted to know if anyone has tried it
The bullet seats at 2.559 and is...

The accurate 460-350vg, 405v or vg, 430v or vg, with that nose profile was made when Beartooth took months or more to get me an order so I sent Tom the BTB piledrivers to make molds of back in 2011....
Didn't know they made rifled tubes.... Wish I would have known before I bought a rifled barrel for the Mossberg 500.
How do they compare to a rifled barrel?
It would be much simpler just putting...
Long but interesting read...
I cast my Lyman slugs out of my normal alloy of around 11 bhn.
Yesterday I was out shooting my buckshot rounds looking for the best patterning but the first couple...
And this is why I also powder coat my buckshot. Never a mess to deal with and safe around the kids (but they know not to touch papa's stuff)
I tested PB 45 pistol checks and they will fit on 45-70 r bullets. I put them on mine sized at .460 and they fit fine.
What heavy powder coated bullet, 200gr or so are people shooting in their 30-06?
I have the 170gr RCBS 308-309-Sil mold but want a heavier bullet and to make sure it will fit after being powder...
After looking up the bullet I found it was not from a lyman mold at all... Its an RCBS 308-309-SIL 165gr bullet ok I'm back to square one.
I've been looking for red dot and blue dot powders but can't find any as of now. :groner:
Forum: Gas Checks
My 35 cal check maker from Pat Marlins are domed when I put them on. I run plain base gas checks through a sizing die check first. I pushed on one with my finger and it went from convexed to...
I just got a 30-06 and need some loads for the Lyman 311672 bullet.
I don't have the powders listed in the manuals with a little bit of rx7.
I have IMR-4350, IMR-4320, Reloader 22 and 25
Anyone...

I like to use an hexagon shaped tub from Costco that had jelly beans in it. I just dump in bullets about half way and pour in a couple tablespoons of powder (no BB's) and put it into my tumbler for...

I tried water dropping after PC but it made the bullets have a weird texture so the next time I did it I pulled them out and let them cool, later I heat treated them and then water dropped them....
I like the 500, I have a tactical with the 18" barrel but I bought a 24" rifled barrel as well. Next will be a 28" barrel with Accu-chokes for duck, geese and turkey. The 500 is just so versatile
