The only flaw with this is that 357 Magnum in a Maximum chamber has "Don't even bother" accuracy levels. In my experience at least.

I've wondered why this cartridge exists when we have the 375 Winchester and 357 Maximum already? :scrutiny:

I used Tempilaq to start with, but I eventually moved to using flame color/brass just barely starting to glow with all lights off. Works just as good for my purposes and is much faster. You need to adjust the timer every time you use the unit. Things won't be exactly the same each time...

Very nice. Standing shooting isn't easy.

The 10mm/40S&W go for $1000 on gunbroker... IF you can find one for sale.

I use tumble lubed bullets and some rubs off onto my hand, so I just rub my finger on the case.

I prefer the Lee 140 grain SWC.

I picked up a used RT6 at the gunshow and already plan on swapping out the Vortex 1-6 I have right now on my Mini-14. Other than the Vortex stowing an extra battery, I like the RT6 image much better as well as the illumination controls.

* Looks at my $300 Savage with a $2,000 NVD on it. * :confused: /It's a clip-on, so I can move it between guns.

This is known as "Buy Once, Cry Once" and is sound advice. Fixed power scopes are such a forgotten gem. Old fixed power Japanese and Korean Tasco scopes are relatively inexpensive on ebay, but have bright and clear glass. Fixed power Leupold scopes are an absolute delight. The LPVO trend...

You bring up a good point. It's not a matter of the Hornet being harder to load. It's a matter of other cartridges being more tolerant of sloppy loading. Put a bullet in a 223 a little wonky and it will still seat just fine. As long as you're not trying to seat a bullet sideways at least. 22...

Pretty much. It's all I use. As others have said, Lee neck sizing helps the brass last a long time. Be slow and methodical and you'll suffer a minimum of case casualties. Most of mine are when I'm FL sizing once fired brass. Once that's done I don't have much issue. An added bonus is that...

Trash can. I use Harbor Freight Walnut. I use it until it stops cleaning well.

I load 100 grain cast bullets in my 300 BO for subsonic. I use pistol powders. Titegroup in my case, since it's loaded for a 8" SBR Encore. Those powders might work for supers, but are too slow for subs.

It's only about 100 FPS faster on most loadings on Hodgdon's website. Often burning 10 more grains of powder to do it. The juice is just not worth the squeeze when you already have a regular 280.
