    Good video.

    What RCBS press is he using with Lee 1 1/4" dies?.

    I want to buy the Lee dies, and I have a RCBS Big Max press @ 1 1/2".

    Probably have to buy another press...

    Yes but it is with a 20gn Green Dot load under the PP 460gn bullet and while it may be down a little on the BP load it shoots very accurately. I use that bog-pod on my rabbit hunting trips and shoot them to a good 150 yds with my 20 VarTarg so it is a steady platform to shoot from.

    Von. I might have to try that load but not unil I Chrony my zBooli load and find out what it's doing. That wy I have a starting place for smokeless loads. I love that Jim S gold but it turned the neck of my brass green in two days. I don't think BP would not have done that. Ha.

    I just wondered if you guys were using magnum pistol primers as I tried a 4198 load off of load data and sounded like a slow flintlock going off. SR 4759 and same primers in my mk.4 went off just fine and were real accurate with 2-sizes of foam backer rod as filler & X-ring 500 grain bullet powder coated.

    I use the Winchester large pistol primers. They say Standard or Magnum loads on the box, take that for what it's worth. But I get good ignition with 24ga re-formed and 1.5F powder.

    If you use large rifle primers in the CBC cases ,after a couple of reloads ,the cases set back and the primers are clipped by the block......primer pocket reaming these thin cases is not wise IMHO,very little metal left.If you were really keen on LR primers ,you could solder a thin shim to the base of each case
