Hey all. I bought a box of those 40 round 22-250Rem Winchester cheapies pretty much to get some fire formed brass ready for my new gun. I was expecting average accuracy with these, but these babies flat out shoot in my gun. My first group had three bullets touching at 100yds:eek: And this is...

Well I got back from the gun shop earlier today with my brand spanking new Remington 700 VLSS Thumbhole in 22-250Rem trim. It is a beautiful rifle and the only flaw I can find is the heavy trigger of course. Now my VLS has a old style trigger which I adjusted myself down to a crisp 2lb pull with...

Hello again. I have a question and I think it should go in here. I'm ready to buy a new rifle, but I handload and want a short throat so I don't have to seat bullets way out of the case in order to get them close to the rifling. So my question is this. Which manufacturer's rifles have the...

Hello all. I was at work last week and was talking guns with a fellow co-worker. I mentioned I had a 44RemMag and that I was a reloader. He tells me that he used to own a 44RemMag and has a bunch of brass I can have. So I tell him that I would greatly appreciate it and he brings them in the next...

Something just occurred to me. When I put a charge of 37gr IMR4064 into a FL sized Winchester case, the charge goes about 3/4 the way up the neck. Now after this round has been fired and neck sized, the same charge only goes to the base of the neck. Would the FL sized case have higher pressure...

When "they" make reloading manuals, is there an industry "bullet distance from the rifling" standard? In other words, if they found a max charge of 37.5gr varget with the bullet .030" off the lands for a OAL of 2.350", shouldn't I be able to use more powder with a bullet .030" off the rifling...

I just realized that Hodgdon's website starting H110 loads for 454Casull contraditcs what their book says. From the Hodgdon Basic Reloading Manual 2007: "H110 loads should not be reduced more than 3%. Reduce H110 loads 3% and work up from there. H110 if reduced too muchwill cause inconsistent...

Hello again everyone. I just did a little pricing of current ammo cost compared to costs of my reloads and here are the results. I priced a Hornady 50gr VMAX, WLR primer, and a 37.5gr charge of Varget. Since I'm using a twice fired brass, I consider it as paid for itself already so it was not...

Hello all. I'm considering ordering some Nosler 22-250Rem brass. Does anyone have experience with this stuff? It gets great reviews at Midway. .4gr variance and the likes. That is incredible to me. I'm use to 4 and 5 whole grain variance with Win and Rem brass. The reviewers also compliment the...

Well my Hornady dies FINALLY arrived Friday and I have everything I need to start reloading 454 Casull. I have Hornady 454 Casull dies. CCI 450 SRM primers. One pound H110. 100 .452" Hornady 240gr XTP MAG bullets and I bought 100 Starline cases. The first thing I noticed when I got the dies was...

Hello. I just picked up a pound of H110 and when I got it home I wasn't sure what I was looking at. I thought it would resemble H380 since it is described as a "ball/spherical" powder, but when I opened the can I was surprised to see more of a tiny, flat flakes appearance. This stuff is very...

I purchased a RSH 7.5" 454 Casull last Friday and was wondering how you guys think I did. The guy bought it brand new 2 years ago, shot 39 rounds out of it, cleaned it, and never shot it again. I gave him $300 for it. So how did I do?

I went to trim some 454 Casull just now and found that the cases are between 1.365" and 1.367" in length. The trim to length is recommended at 1.380" These cases are .015" shorter than the recommended trim to length. Will they still work? They have not been sized yet. Perhaps I should recheck...

Anyone here have experience with the .452" XTP in the Ruger SRH? I want to load the 250gr XTP but my Lyman manual says "Larger than .451" bullets will not allow the cartridge to be used do to the tight tolerances found in the chambers." They give load data for the .452" XTP then tell you not to...

I loaded some once fired F/C 30-06Springfield brass the other day and the primers went in very easily. I was using Win primers. The brass came from a 180gr Power-Shok factory loading. Has anyone had this experience with Federal brass? Hell, after the second loading, they probably won't even...

Ohio "shotgun season", as it's known, will be here in a couple weeks. Just wondering if anyone else has pushed their shotguns to side in favor of their smoke poles like I have in recent years. There is just something magical about that big ol' cloud of smoke.:p BTW Yes, I think Jim Shockey is...

I've tried many, many powders in the 22-250Rem and have never found one that has given me full case fill plus acceptable velocity. For example, IMR 4350 has given me the best case fill but the velocity is terrible with this powder. Benchmark gives me the desired velocity and accuracy, but the...

Well I made a mistake. I had a box of 30-06 and a box of 25-06 laying on my truck seat and grabbed the wrong box! I pulled a 25-06 out and chambered it in my 30-06:eek: When I shot I thought "That didn't feel right." About that time I realized what I had just done. I ejected the cartridge and...

Anyone ever tried this stuff as a filler? I was thinking of using this stuff as a filler for charges that don't fill the case all the way up. And how would it be added to the powder? Just dump it in the case after the powder has been added? Or would I need to add it to the powder charge and...
