I've never had a Wolf primer (or round of Wolf ammo) in any flavor fail to fire.

Exactly. That's why I was asking for opinions for a starting point for Magnus' hardcast SWCBB. Since Magnus doesn't provide load data, nor do any books refer to the Magnus bullet, I'm left to compare data for similar profiles and weights and ask for the advice of folks who may have used said bullet.

Ok. Consulted the books again. I was misremembering. Lee and Lyman were both in the 10 grains starting range. Alliant as stated was 7. Hornady was 5.7 and maxing out around 7 or so--I presume their lead 240 gr swc is rather soft, perhaps? Anyway, thanks for the info, I think I've got a good...

Hmm... I'll double check, but I'd swear I was looking at Magnum. First thing I thought with that light charge was that I was looking at Special, but now that you mention it, I'll look again when I've got the book in front of me.

For this load I'm basically just after a light to medium target round. I guess my concern was the wide spread of starting loads in different manuals: 10.8 from Lee, 7 from Alliant, 5.7 from Lyman. Generally I use jacketed bullets so I'm new to lead (and .44), but I regularly load 9mm .40S&W...

I'm trying to figure out a starting load for some 240 gr "Hardcast" LSWC from Magnus Bullet Co. using Unique. Three different books are giving me 5.7, 7, and 10.8 grains to start with a 240 gr LSWC. Any thoughts? I've also got some 296, 4227, AA2, AA5, AA7, and I think some 2400 on hand.

In what jurisdiction and on what basis?

Very high road, prozach007.

I didn't say anyone should limit anything. Please re-read my post. I said folks shouldn't exacerbate the component shortage by promoting panic. If you can use 50k primers in the foreseeable future, then buy 50k primers. If you shoot three boxes of ammo a year and just decided to buy 100k...

Think again.

It just boggles the mind that people keep starting these threads. Everybody knows that primers are in short supply so why add to the problem by fanning the fire and urging people to hoard more? The result is that people who would actually be using them can't get them because somebody is sitting...

Can someone recommend an FFL in Portland for a transfer? Obviously, someone who charges less than the typical $35 would be a plus.

SP, What's your case buffer made out of. I can't tell from the picture, but this is something I've been pondering for my CETME.

Thanks. That was one site I didn't think to check.

Anybody know of a retailer that has Redding's new G-Rx die? I'd like to check it out, but can't seem to find it listed anywhere.
