[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 149908, member: 951"] [b]Re: ? for Kirby and other reloading guru\'s[/b] kirby and coy, I understand what your saying, a case neck turner is on the way and I'll experiment a bit and see what I can come up with. What has me puzzled is the fact that the smith could tell me over the phone to fireform a case with 54 gr of H4831 and a 140 gr, then take that case resize and reload with 62 gr of RE22 and a 140 and shoot it, I've worked up to 61 gr of RE22 which gave me 3270 fps but has ruined every case that I fired, Actualy with any of the reccomended powders for the gibbs (IMR 4831 and 7828, H4831, RE22) if I got to 3100 fpa with a 140 the pocket is noticably loose. I mean what would FF'ing with COW vs. pdr/bullet change that much? He said 62 gr of RE 22 was the standard load and 64 gr was max. he also stated the cut rifled barrel might be a tad slower but I shouldn't have pressure problems. My R-P cases do have thicker necks than the test R-P cases he sent but he said I shouldn't have to turn them. and fired case necks mic the same as loaded rounds, you have to press hard to put a bullet into a fired case neck, where all my other rounds, the bullet will fall into a fired case. I achieved 3200 fps with H-1000 but accuracy isn't as good as with RE-22 when its too hot (.375 vs. .6) max load (that I can find published is 62 gr of H-1000, and I'm at 63 gr. shooting plain A-max's, with moly'd a-max's I was at 66 gr @ 3050 fps. when the turner comes in I'll turn the necks down on a couple cases .0015 and see what that does. thanks for your comments JS [/QUOTE]
