    Are you certain you aren’t comparing CUP measurements to PSI ones? With the same bullet at the same seating depth and charge, a slower burning powder has to create less pressure.

    No experience with 244 but it is a slightly slower powder so charges will be slightly higher than 231 loads. Hodgon has some 244 data on their reloading data website.

    My 760 in 30-06 wasn’t shooting very well, I took the scope off to shoot with the iron sights and discovered somebody modified the existing rear sight with a file. Took the whole “V” shape out of it...

    How are you sizing the nose down? I have a 350 grain NOE mold for 45-70 and I’m having to seat my 458 socom rounds to 1.980 overall length to get them to chamber properly. If I’m able to size the...

    And it sounds like that Lee die isn’t deep enough, probably because the original factory ammo for the 500s&w only went up to 500 grains and didn’t take advantage of the 2.300 inch cylinder.

    I use the RCBS carbide 3 die set. I find seating and crimping in separate steps improves the quality of the loaded rounds and avoids any lead shaving. The optimal way to do it seems to be using the...
