    Salt Bath Annealing

    This looks like a great system. I have never tried to anneal before. How do you test/know if you anneal a case properly? I was always afraid to do it wrong and potentially have a split case or something. How often do you anneal with this method? Thank you for this post.

    Best Copper Bullet for 7mm Mag or LRM

    My stock 7 mag twist rate is 9.25. My current custom 7 mag is 8.5. I was thinking of building a LRM with a twist of 8.75. I was hoping to shoot 180 berger hybrids and a copper bullet. I would like to shoot to a 1,000 yards for practice and 600 yards on deer or elk. I am currently comfortable...

    Best Copper Bullet for 7mm Mag or LRM

    Thank you Outlaw6. How do you approach reloading with the CEB MTH bullets for maximum accuracy? Do you put the seal tight band slightly off the case neck and then find the node with powder increments? Can you tune the load by changing seating depth? Should I go with magnum primers or large rifle...

    Developing Load for 168 Berger New Brass vs Once Fired

    What is the best way to determine safe pressures then? If I am not reaching velocities in the SAAMI specs for a give bullet weight does that mean that I am also not reaching pressures? Can I at least load to a suggested SAAMI velocity for a given bullet weight and still be safe, assuming I am...

    Developing Load for 168 Berger New Brass vs Once Fired

    Thank you for your replies. I made it back to the range and want to report back and ask another question. It looks like you guys were right and it was not necessary for me to be overly concerned about the need to fire-form my brass. Groups were measured edge to edge and then I subtracted 0.284"...

    Developing Load for 168 Berger New Brass vs Once Fired

    I am new to reloading and want to know how to develop a load for my 7mm Remington Mag, with an emphasis on how to deal with virgin brass. I have determined that I have safe pressures in once fired Remington brass with H1000 from 66 to 69 grains using Berger 168’s. I have a Redding Instant...
