For me, Varget does great with the 70 grain bullets, and IMR 4831 does great with 85 grain bullets, I cant get anything heavier than 85 grains to shoot out of either of my .243's. But the deer I killed with them this year did not care that the bullet was only 85 grains.

I used to use the RCBS tool, however I found that I constantly had to go back re do brass, it seems that the amount of crimp depends on where the brass is from. I found that cutting the pocket with the lyman cutting tool shown by Load Master works great. I chuck the pocket reaming bit into my...

Ya, I loaded some up at 75 and 75.5 since they also seem to be fairly close. But I think I'm going to end up being in the mid 60's with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I finally got a box a few weeks ago. They were only on back order for a few months. But any way here is the results of my ladder test. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have worked up loads like that before. That's how I would up with an awesome load for a 85 grain Sierra HP in my .243 with IMR 4831 instead of H4831. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hornady is not showing data on their web site for this combo, can any one point me in the right direction or have you had any luck loading this? Is any one using data from the 178 grain Amax?

I have two different 308's. One is a DPMS GII Recon, its a great rifle, the only down side is the 16" barrel. Any thing over a 150 grains drops like a brick. But its still a great rifle. I have put well over a 1000 rounds through it and no issues. The second 308 is a PSA 10 and while it...

I might not give up on the 100 grain bullet yet. I also had a savage M10 and it did not like the 100 grain bullets either. But I will probably try them in his Remington. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a Tikka T3 and my Son has a Rem 783. So far in my Tikka I have been able to get the 85 grain and lighter bullets to shoot better than me. But 95 and 100 grain bullets don't do so well. On my Son's Rem I have not done a lot of load testing. But I need to for the up coming Deer and Elk...

I'm hoping that Sierra also comes out with a new manual. I will likely buy a Sierra, Hornady, and the Lyman books. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just tried and got denied. Must not be in print yet.

I was just under 1k for the rifle. If you count the trigger job and brake I go over the 1k mark. My smith did not charge me for the chamber polish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So a few months ago I completed my PSA-10. It's all PSA parts except for the brake. Here are the ski numbers for the parts I ordered. Complete upper. 7782705 Lower parts kit. 503563 The blem lower that I ordered a year ago seems to have a different sku. Keep in mind that this is only the...

If you don't have a preference to rifle bullet yet, then pick who ever has the most availability local to you. In my opinion, its best to use the bullet manufactures data for rifle bullets. Their design differ enough from one maker to another, that I think its a benefit. Hand gun bullets are a...

Lyman's shot gun manual is the standard by which all others are measured. As for metallic reloading I suggest you by the manual from who ever makes the bullets you want to shoot from your rifle. Unless your shooting Nosler's, their loading data is free on their web site. If that is the...

And in the mean time, I shot my 300 win loads, nothing looked good. It looked horrible. I will be switching powder and trying it again. I used RL22. Now I am going to try IMR 4831. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have even used H-335 in the 45-70, what a great round. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I have been testing a couple different scales. My wife pulled a NO,NO and brought home her labs check weights. As it turns out, my Hornady scale is off. I picked up a RCBS 5-0-5 scale and it is spot on all though the weight ranges. I also picked up a Redding scale. It did pretty good...

So what all is involved with "tuning up" a scale? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't think that is the case with where my wife works. I don't think they have a loaner set. Here is the results of her testing while at work. I did not realize she did so much testing until I found the paper in the box with the scale. At about the 77 grain Mark, it's off by .5 grains. That...
