Tip: when you go to dump the water out of the rotary tumbler. Instead of using the supplied strainer insert that comes with the tumbler. Invest in a 5 gallon bucket elastic banded paint strainer. ($4 for a 2 pack) It slips on the bucket. Pour all the contents into the strainer. Then just remove...

Powder Valley RMR Midsouth Midway Natchez Starline 21st Century Innovations

Totally understandable. And also trying to take in account what kind of kinetic energy such velocities bring to the table is also being considered in this.

No worries Jim. I’m working an outage all this month at a power plant, working 6/12’s. When I can get back to shooting I’ll give another update. Thanks everyone for being supportive and very helpful. I appreciate it whole heartedly.

this is just my two cents. Take it with a grain of salt. This is what works for me... I definately want to make my steps count for sure. I can see me loading another thirty rounds and having a “standard load” to go by afterwards. In less than a hundred rounds I’m confident I’ll have the result...

Glad we got you on the right track. Keep putting in the hard work!

If what you say is true then the 1.69” OAL is about 1/2” too long for any 9mm handgun IMO. Not too mentions CZ which are notoriously famous for a short leade. Maybe you meant 1.069”?? If not maybe you should try that. In this game a decimal place could mean great results or a catastrophic event.

What’s your Cartridges OAL with the poly coated bullets? I’m assuming your using RN bullets. Is the factory load a RN bullet as well? What’s the OAL of the factory round? More info please. When you say your seating them in a barrel. You mean a plunk test?

***Update*** I did some more testing today before the rain settled in. The overcast was just right to take advantage of with my Caldwell Chrono. Catridges tested were loaded from 40.2 gr. - 40.6 gr of Varget in .2 gr increments...Then the next round of cartridges were from 41.8 gr. - 43.0 gr...

308 Winchester. Finding a load for the 185 juggernauts

Agreed. Next go around I think I’ll load three of each charge weight from 41.8-42.6 grains I want to squeeze out some more FPS if I can. The 2461 at 40.4 just seems too slow for me to settle on. CK

I’ve had good luck with WSF. 4.6-4.8 grains IIRC.

Thank you!!

Twist rate should be stated on the barrel itself. Or take a cleaning rod like A Dewey with a roller bearing in the handle. Get a brass Brush and mop to make a tight fit in the barrel. Match Mark your cleaning rod and insert till you get a 360 degree rotation. Match Mark your rod at the end of...

I haven’t been active in the forum for a good year or so. Had a career change that took some time acclimatizing to and when the rona hit the US it just made things that much more hectic for work and at home. But now that things have finally hit their stride at work and at home, I brought home...

Ordered two jugs this morning. Can’t wait.

VTerror, sorry I was being sarcastic. I thought it would do very well myself as well.

Darn it. This won’t work for my 6.5 Swede. Everybody has love for the creed, but they forget about the Swede. Oh well. Maybe next time. :)

Thanks #1buck. I think when all is said and done I’m going try my hand at a snow camo finish. ck
