Thanks TURBO!
I'll try to get this components, it will may be difficult, because it's "exotic" to reload shotshell here in germany.
Any idea concerning the powder?

I'm thinkin' about machining off...

That's exactly what I thought too. I go the way taking more grains of a slower powder.
Currently I change from N140 to N150 which is close to the IMR4350 (.308Win and 6,5x55). For the 30-06 I would...

klw, don't forget that wheelweights are less available in the next time. Here in germany they get more and more rare. Because of this your book may be antiquated in a few years. You should add a...
