I had the attitude bullets needed to be hard to not lead. Well, they got too hard and leaded worse. I softened them way up and used SPG. I get a very light frosting that doesn't cause issues. This is with revolvers mostly though, in these if they're cast too hard they will tilt when they hit the...

T Tongue in cheek buddy. And actually the bigger the bullet possibly the better. I love varmint hunting so .24's would be high on the list. But huge cased 24's still aren't my choice for deer or bigger. And since I tend to not shoot at any unwounded "big game" at over 300 yards any more I...

I suppose it's possible, but why would you do that to yourself?

Uglier than sin. Shoot waaaayyyyy better than they should. I bought 2 for the wife, a .308 since I had 6-10,000 LC cases and she is a brass flinger, and a 6mm Creedmoor. She is better than she used to be but still will knock a rifle around. Annndddd she wants a light rifle. Threw generic loads...

I also love exits. Like Elmer said, Let a lot of blood out and a lot of air in. Shoot enough critters and weird stuff happens. Shot a 90 pound whitetail as it jumped a fence, quartering away. Right behind the last rib thinking It would come out the right shoulder or sternal notch lower neck...

Devil's advocating, not falling on one side or the other of this debate but it is extremely possible there was no tension pneumothorax. In fact I submit to you it very possibly could be an open pnemo that would resolve over time. Tensions are deadly mostly because of cardiac output issues not...

You would sell them? Sir, I am very disappointed in you.

H4831 and a 130 whatever. My favorite at one time was 56 of IMR 4350 behind ant 130. Every .270, at least 10, shot it well until a Ruger 77 II blew a primer. I had gotten a little complacent. Glad I'm dumber now.

7x57 is better than the 7 08. And it's a more Christian looking case too.

I used 760/414 also but they also did the ball powder pressure spikes for me. Some of my problem though might be different lots of brass. It was never easy to find so it has been acquired over the last 45 years or so.

H4895 burn rate is about right so Varget and 4350 are close. My favorite cool weather load lately was 39 Re15 and a 55 vmax and even though it's supposed to be temp stable it pushed pressures when it gets to 100 degrees. I have a few pounds or staball but have never used it, For some reason I...

H4895 and 150 Sierra worked really good in mine. Actually shot very well if you could handle the trigger.

Original had a 25 inch. A 250 grain bullet at 2700 isn't exactly a maiden's caress when it hits.
