Sounds good, I will get working on it an let you know how it goes. Just a quick question, why will a faster powder result in a lower MV ES? Is it because the smaller grains of powder will sit more uniformly in the case?

Remmy700, Thank you so much for the help. Here is my plan. Any other suggestions or changes? 1. Completely clean gun and remove all fouling and Copper 2. Purchase some H1000 and develop a load with that. 3. According to QuickLoad an Hodgson's Website I will start about 65g and work up from there.

Remmy700, Thank you for the information...very helpful. I agree that the larger case size and the lower neck tension are contributing to the lower MVs, but I was just surprised to see that much of a decrease and was wondering if cleaning or something else might be adding to the decrease. As...

Remmy700, Thank you for your help! Here are the answers to your questions. When I developed the load with new brass I did no case prep, except unfirming the primer pockets. With this one fired brass, I have annealed, cleaned and only neck sized with out the expander installed. I have...

I developed the load with new brass so I did not do anything with the neck tension originally. Since then I have annealed the once fired brass and have been using the same neck bushing but slightly changing how deep I resize the necks. Do you you think that could cause this much of a fall off...

I am really struggling with my long range hunting/target gun and I would love some help. I am shooting a Rem 700 (Long Range Model) chambered in 7mm rem mag. My hand loads are 77.2 g of RL33, once fired and not resized Nosler brass, Winchester Large Rifle magnum primers, pushing a 180 grain...

Here is the video of the annealing. I thought this might help with suggestions. Thank you!

I am not exactly sure how to do that. Do you have any suggestions on where to find information about this process?

I used one burner for about 6 seconds. I used 750 degree Tempilaq to set up the duration initially. See attached picture of setup.

I just annealed 200 pieces of once fired Nosler brass and found these two cases with a different color than all the rest. Se the two pieces in the center of the picture with bronze coloring at the neck. I used the same standard Coleman propane bottle for the entire batch. Is this anything I...

I have 532 rounds through the gun total, 340 using the Witt Break. I followed Witt's instructions to the letter and installed with blue Loctite. I have also removed and reinstalled 2 times for cleaning without any problems.

I have hundreds of rounds through my gun with no problems at all.

I have been using the Witt Machine break on my 7mm Rem Mag and have been very happy with it. Here is a link to the video comparison I did with and without the break installed. Not very scientific, but compelling nevertheless. I have had none of the problems I have read others have had. I am...

It looks like the data you posted is not showing, is there anyway you could repost or send me the information on the Retumbo? Thank you!

asg1485, Any updates on your gun?
