I bought 11k cci 400 and 200 a year and half ago. They had a deal to spend $300 to get a free Grunt Style hoody and t-shirt, so I bought that much. That's enough primers to at least last me 4 or 5 years. Also have an extra 8lb of CFE223 that I bought at an auction a few years ago. I was...

I have some and liked enough to get another 250.

I have a magnetospeed so was just blasting at prairie dogs to get an idea of where pressure was. That 58.3 to 58.5 looked pretty good. Will load some more up in that area and shoot some groups.

Yeah had some ejector mark and the bolt was a little sticky the last one. A 27 inch 1 in 10 pacnor Rem 700. I had some loaded up to 61.2 so figured I would have to pull some, if i had another group or 2 above loaded I might have just shot them.

58 was 3255 and 2x at 58.3 was both 3254, 58.6 was 3262 and 3267, 58.9 was 3291 3298 and only shot 1 at 59.2 was 3310. I thought it would go further and was first time I used the magentospeed. I see people getting higher speeds with the 131 gr ace. These were with 120 gr speer boattail and...

Good timing Ovis! I just shot the loads with Imr7977 last week. Didn't have a chrono and was waiting til i got one. I will get my notes and let you know.

Yes it is just a 7saum necked down. Yeah Mike that is the concern I had about it also. The difference in .284 to .257 and if the shoulder would be pushed back enough. Thanks

I have a 25 saum would I be able to use a 7mm saum redding body die?

So I did some digging and not a new powder but is Lovex S062. I've never heard of them before. Here is load data. https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/forms/reloading_lovex_en.pdf

I have the Forster hand held turner so the blade isn't square it has an angle to it. https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/26552977_10159851700025471_1643752663_n.jpg?oh=417cbbe8416f1da4abe2bb56ec35359b&oe=5A50D024 It is a tight neck 25 saum that I am using 7mm saum brass necked down...

How do you know if it is to deep? Shoot one and see what happens? I went that deep because I wasn't wanting a donut to form. But if it is to deep you can't add it back. Thanks for the reply Jim

How does this look for cut into shoulder for neck turning? https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/26219519_10215676933903195_8747008209731994485_n.jpg?oh=a83c9312e7254c7b267bd29d9c1be6d5&oe=5ABEA96D Maybe the picture doesn't work? Whats the best way to post a picture?

Sounds good guys. I will get some to try out. Have only been reloading for a few years and haven't used Lapua before, would be nice to see how much better it is than others.

I picked up the Cabelas Savage 12 in 308 and was wondering if the Lapua brass is worth using in a factory rifle like this one? Read some posts and everyone says Lapua brass is the cats meow but also saw a few that said it would be better in custom chambered barrels. Thanks
