[QUOTE="T3-OleMan, post: 487214, member: 14600"] Bob, I had the following reply ready to post last night but I could not figure where you got that I had used cheap primers.......I may be dumb but I ain't stupid. Then about 1 pm today IT DAWNED (LOL) on me as I reread my starting post. I am so sorry that I got lazy and used the words “the primers look just like the [B][SIZE=3]stock[/SIZE][/B] WW 200gr cheap'os I used as brake-in ammo...”. I should have said “the primers look just like the [SIZE=4][B]factory made[/B][/SIZE] WW 200gr cheap'os ($26.95-box of 20) that I used as brake-in ammo......u know Shoot -Clean, Shoot -Clean, Shoot -Clean etc. not caring where they hit as long as they came out of the tube and went into the target”. I bought all the factory made 338WM ammo in the county and at 2 gun shows as soon as I bought “NELLIE”. Then I found 4 boxes of my favorite round 230gr BLACK TALONS on the web and they were (gold) $70 / box – [SIZE=4][I][U][B]same lot[/B][/U][/I][/SIZE][SIZE=4].[/SIZE] Like a duck on a Junebug, I jumped on them same lot - discontinued dudes - real quick just in case she likes them best. And that's why I referred to to the $26.95 as [U][I][B]stock WW 200gr cheap'os[/B][/I][/U]. And now my following midnight intended post: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Bob, all my hand loaded 338WM-225gr-MRXs have used GM215Ms-for speed & hopefully accuracy. Re the oil removal........my gun shop owner shoots in some class, can't remember which, and uses Ronson lighter fluid down the tube before he starts and it serves him well. A retired Chem Eng was in there when we were talking and he told me he used ACETONE to cut the residuals out for a clean cold first shot. I have had a problem with Nellie on my clean cold first shot and have tried 5 other peoples cleaning process and she don't like any of them. One of them was a BLACKWATER 308 shooter (three tours) and he came to the range just to help me with some of the long range processes he used. She liked everything he was doing but the first clean cold shot. I used Ronson in my old muzzle loader back in the day to wash out the gunk in the rain on a 3 rainy-day hunt. I know it will work but I don't know about ACETONE just before you hunt? I'm going to see if she likes the Ronson for clean cold shot. I'm open to try your process also, if you would share. Again, I am so sorry I used “stock” instead of “factory made” and thus the above e-****le. Have a nice day. [/QUOTE]
