Beagling and honing are not the same. I recently got a LEE 6 hole 44 mold - all holes cast small (0.427-0.429", and yes it was a 44 mag application), and as a side note dropped bullets w/...

Maybe you are thinking of the Merritt stick on apperature? - not a magnifier, but a device that does tend to sharpen the image.

I get "free" safety glasses from work - I pay for progressive, tint, "fancy frames" (i.e. non BC frames).

I put a 7-30 Contender together years ago so my son could use it when he first went deer hunting - ended up putting a R700 7x57 together too before he went and it got a spongy limbsaver pad and...
I believe "staynless" are non corrosive - marketing gimick in the naming.
Look them over, may well also say "Non-Mercuric Staynless Primers". It was their naming for "new" non-mercuric primers.

Great cartridge in my opinion - I have the Ackley variant, which did nothing for velocity btw. I have taken deer with it, wild hogs, an elk, and a bison.

Have a pretty pitted barrel on a Yugo 24-47 8x57 -- shoots cast fine. Very consistently too. 50/50 lube w/ some lithium grease added, and bullet ~ 20 BHN.

Lar45 - how did the repeat go?
BTW: 200 @ 2300-2400 Seems peppy for what is in practical terms a 35 Rem AR, though do realize you likely are targeting higher operating pressures. 2-300 fps seems...

Good & Interesting info on the correction to my statement.
I will say that the lot of PP 300 MP I have is not slower than any of the W296 I have had, but as noted, lot to lot and all that.

$65?? Think I'd expect $25. One hole molds do not generally sell well, and as alluded to:never know the condition on a remotely purchased mold.

If it's been sitting a while the lead will often oxidize at the interface to the blocks and rub off even cold -- sometimes a bamboo keboob skewer is pretty handy.
