I'm quite happy with my accuracy and my velocity. I know somewhere in here I said I only shoot paper nowadays. So speed or impact energy is not important. I'm just hoping that changing from WW to...

If its winter time, I can find another sweet spot about 2 grains of powder up from my summer load. But I started at the bottom of the load data and went just shy of max and NOTHING in there worked...

I've been accused of "under" pushing my bullets by fellow shooters lol. I went to a couple of organized cast shoots and they were wondering what I was doing, etc., to have my groups. After the casual...

Well I thank y'all for your help. I was trying to do my homework before working with Lyman #2. I've been using WW +2% Tin and water quenching with great results on paper. I'm hoping this new to me...

So if I'm reading this right, http://www.lasc.us/HeatTreat.htm, the arsenic is only there to speed up the hardening process but doesn't have to be there for the bullets to "age" harden? The antimony...

Since I started casting a couple of years ago, I have been using WW's as my primary alloy. I would melt the alloy, pour into mold and then water drop. My current CHEAP source has dried up and I have...

I am using aluminum gas checks that don't bite into the bullet. They are just pressed on when I size the bullets. I was advised while using aluminum checks to add a drop of super glue in the check to...

So basically what you are saying is that the fouling that is in the barrel, bullet lube and carbon, is what is messing me up on the next set of shots. So if I dampen it with ATF or what? it will...

That "rest" idea is a good one. I'm still trying to get them worked out, to much sand or to little in bag, etc. As far as leading, I've never had leading in this bore no matter what load I've tried,...

Update, I'm using Lee Liquid Alox cut 25% with mineral spirits. The bullets are tumble lubed one time. My bullets which are wheel weight +2% Tin. My velocity is estimated 1412 fps if you can believe...

I recently went and shot in a match this past weekend. Weather was great, ammo was right on, given some of my past shooting.

Here's my problem? Most of us get good groups with a flyer. That seems...

Yeah, well my pockets don't run that deep for having my rifled sent to a shop. So far I've done all the work myself. Not knocking, just ain't in that tax bracket :)

Awesome y'all but I don't have that much room :(

None of the pipes are fixed into place so there is play. The large down pipe can be swung out of the way for lead adding. I only used aluminum tape at the upper end of the elbow for fumes sake.

I used to place a fan behind me while casting to blow the fume out of my small shop(10' x 12'). This definitely caused a problem in the winter because I didn't want to freeze lol. So I finally got...

I agree 100%. I have seen this problem before. In fact this is a Shilen barrel that was installed. This might take out "most" of the problem of alignment since they are a reputable barrel...

More info, load density is what I was thinking about using the 7BR. As it is right now my sweet spot is only using 20g of IMR 4198. Lot of air space left in the case. I have tried several different...

IN YOUR OPINIONS, I am currently considering converting my 7-08 to 7mmBR in a quest to lighten my recoil but hopefully tighten up my groups. What I would like is y'alls input on how 7BR performs,...

I'm going back to try the block method that y'all have mentioned along with the scope screws. And the mounts while I'm at it. Just to see if the Lock-tite has broke free. While no where near an...

I had heard a rumor, not fact as a lot of us have found, that there was a way to break in a scope reticle so that when it is turned it will truely move the way you want it to reliably. I recently...

I would like to thank you guys for your great responses. It looks like a got bullet fit working good, my bullets are cast .001-.003 over the bore diameter. I don't get the hydraulic effect from my...

Through some fundamental reading on lead and its alloys I understand that there is a pressure area where lead alloys compresses to fill in the bore. Obturation. I also believe the equation for this...

No I'm not shooting long range but I'm shooting for score and group. in C.B.A. shoots

I usually take my bullets that are poured in a session which average 200+ for 7mm. Separate them by bullet quality first, wrinkles, voids etc. Then check the bottoms. Then start weighing them. Size,...

I did check the specs and they were on the high side but inside the specs. Although my cases were also in spec but on the low side. Thus the problem. I will have to try a different lot and or brand....
