All you can do is try it and see.

I'm loading 83 gr of RL22. 3045fps. WORK UP TO IT. What is your twist? If it is a 12 twist like Kenny usually builds, the 210 won't give you much accuracy. Mine has a 9 twist to handle the heavy bullets. Now the 190 Berger will work great in the 12 twist.

I had a 240 once. I shot Nosler partitions in it and it never let me down. Then like a fool I sold it. But now I have the craving for a 257. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't know what to do either:D

Ok, I checked what y'all suggested,don't know why I didn't think of it, but a bullet will not go in a fired case at all pushing it by hand. It appears that the measurement of a fired case and a loaded case are the same. And a sized case is about .003-.004 smaller than either. I am set up to...

I have some cases with a really thick neck. The bullet pull is very tight. Could this be causing high pressure? If so would turning the necks just a little bit, help? Sounds good to me anyway:D It's expensive brass and I don't want to throw it away.

What gets me is the pressure some manuals load to. The 270, 280, 30-06, etc cases should take care of the same pressures. I know, I know, I've been told it's in deference to some weaker guns made for these cartridges. But I have a modern, strong gun. Some are held to 53,000psi and some to...

Those of you that don't mind trailing one 50-75 yards, surely have not hunted south Texas. Everything here has a thorn on it and is usually so thick you have to crawl through it. I have seen deer, leaving a blood trail, lost because you couldn't get to them. Pulling cactus thorns and...

I use the 140 AMAX in my 6.5 wsm at 3250fps on deer. Out of over 40 or 50 deer and hogs I have not had one take a step. I had a buddy build one and loaded the AMAX to use on elk. It was a total failure. Blew up on shoulder shots. Therefore I would not reccomend it for anything larger than...

Does anybody have any loading data on a 6.5WSM and RL17? I'm shooting 140 Amax bullets. Been wanting to try it but have been unable to find a starting place.

Well, keep us updated Neal.

OK Neal...Need more details. Who does this? How much does it cost? What is the wait time? How about long guns too? Do you see any downside yet? This guy better get a bigger shop. He's going to be busy:)

Arghh...You would have to put my favorite caliber in it too. I'm thinking

I'm thinking of switching to accubonds in all my rifles after my experiences this year in one gun. I took delivery of a 7STW toward the end of hunting season and without much time to work up loads settled on H1000 and the 160 accubond. Out of 15 shots at game, it was 15 one shot kills from a...

I THINK, and I'm sure someone with more experience will come along, that you need a spindle that is smaller than your intended final inside diameter. Redding makes them. So when you pull the case back out of the die, it doesn't even touch the inside of the case and leaves it as sized by the...
