Another tip for wet tumbling. Use Metho to rinse! (Methylated Spirits) After a water rinse to get rid of dirt & detergent, rinse your cases in Metho. Being water soluble it will absorb the residual water then evaporate away quickly. A rub with a towel will help as well but I prefer a squirt...

I'm obviously NOT the average re-loader then! :cool: Mick.

OK, now you have my undivided attention! :D Sounds interesting. Only problem I can see is that many of the Full Bore ranges over here are restricted to the Nato Template. Sounds like this will be beyond the energy requirements for these Templates. :rolleyes: (but so is the 7WSM when loaded...

You got me looking at this & upon doing some more research I'm now leaning back towards the SAUM again. It appears the 7WSM may be a little hard on barrels but the SAUM is a little more forgiving. Mostly due the neck length. Also stripped my .308 down to measure up the pillars so I can make...

Was trying to edit this just after typing but our work system then blocked me.:rolleyes: As far as ballistics go. Working from memory when I last looked into it. (of the 3 cartridges, WSM, SAUM & Rem mag) The WSM tops the list for velocity. With the Rem mag next but uses an extra 3gr of...

Not a big fan of the long narrow powder columns in the typical LA mag cartridges. Much better efficiency in the short magnums & efficiency often goes hand in hand with inerrant accuracy & ease of tuning. With the availability of .270 & .300WSM brass, I don't see a big issue with forming my...

What semi short Action is that? Mick.

Wouldn't say readily but it is available. I can make forming dies if I have to anyway. There are a few 7WSM's about but the .270 & .300WSM's while not as popular as main stream cals are still more numerous than the 7mm from what I have seen. Mick.

First a quick Intro. I'm from Aus, 46yro, a shooter of about 35yrs. The past few yrs have been learning the ropes of LR by doing a little F Class along with some Gongs out to 1000yds on private property & LR hunting to 600yds. (Goats mainly) I began with a Factory Howa .308 varmint (long time...

G'day Matt. This is a Hi from Aus, # 2 :) Just signed in so I'm feeling my way around the Format for the moment. Not wanting to take the wind out of your thread so I will keep my intro in my pocket for a sec, :cool: Other than to say that I too had a bit of a period of lying low after 96'...
