Not really. You can buy Sciroccos at Midway USA on sale right now for $51.29 per 100 ($.51 per bullet). Accubonds are $26.99 per 50 ($.53 per bullet). But even when they're not on sale they're only $.03 per bullet more. Not enough for me to worry about.

I tumble then anneal then resize. I anneal every 2nd or 3rd reload, just depends on whether I want to do it or not. I use an appropriate sized socket in a cordless drill to hold the case as I spin it over a propane torch. I used to go by time alone (6 to 10 seconds depending on the brass)...

Montana Extreme and Wipeout do it for me and I've used most everything out there including Sweets, CR-10, KG-12, TM, Extreme CopperMelt, etc... I have not used the newer BoreTech products, so I might have to give them a try.

I'd buy some too.

The 150 BT is my "go-to" bullet in the 7mm mag:

Yea, I no longer use compressed loads either.

One more thought, are you compressing the powder when you seat your bullets? I've had bullets back out of the case a bit after seating them over compressed charges.

So, you're measuring to the tip of the bullet and not to the ogive? The differences you are noting are normal if you're measuring to the tip of the bullet.

Yes, I'm aware the patches don't turn blue. I tested the effectiveness of KG-12 on 3 or 4 rifles by first cleaning with it according to the instructions (after cleaning for powder) and then applying a traditional ammonia based copper solvent to see if patches came out blue, which would...

I haven't tried KG-1, but I did give KG-12 a try. I thought it was pretty much useless and would never buy it again.

I've used Fed215Ms in mine for the most part and have had good results. I've also used Fed210s without any problems. Recently, however, I loaded up a few with CCI 250's. This'll be the first time I've used these in the .300 WM and I'm looking forward to trying them.

Well, maybe I've just been lucky.

After one load I'd just neck size, unless this brass is hard to chamber. Thereafter I'd pay attention to how hard it is to chamber. If I felt too much resistance (and that's hard to explain in words) I'd use the body die to bump the shoulder back by .001" to .002" and then neck size using a Lee...
