4350, either one, i've used them for my kids .243 all the way up to my 300Rum with great results on all, they are the most versatile powders there are in my experiences.

Winchester is still making guns, they only closed one plant, they have a new semi auto out that's pretty nice.

Make sure not to get ANY lube on the necks or they will dent, use just enough for a smooth resize, I just give mine a light roll over my pad, making sure none gets on the necks, that's all.

It made a difference for sure, it's like it crimped the end or something, bullet won't go in, but I didn't try pressing in with press, so what do you think now?

They are Lyman AA two die set. I inspect case, clean case mouth with brush, role on lube pad then resize, as I always have, nothing different other than the bullets being loose.

I've also tried dfferent brass, even went from brass to nickel with same results.

Has anyone had trouble with an expander button wearing out, or not working properly? I have a set of lyman dies that worked flawlessly last year, when I made some fresh rounds for my sons 243 I noticed bullet seating was without the normal resistance, I can pull the bullets out with my fingers...

I get between 3400-3500 fps out of 180's

If you went with the 130's you might end up shedding some petals with the velocity at closer range like i've done in the past, that's why I say go with the 180's

I would go with the 180 XXX, they are devastating on Mississippi whitetails at any range.

Absolutely awesome!

Buy a 300 Weatherby[ QUOTE ] How hard would it be to shorten the 300RUM case .250"? I am thinking of rechambering a 300 win mag to a shortened version of the 300RUM if forming the case would not be to difficult. I want more power than the 300 win mag but less than the 300RUM. I know the Dakota...

I'll check that out then!

Thanks guys.
