Stop hoarding people please.

To avoid primer feeding problems, always follow these precautions: Before use, always inspet tube for damage on interior obstructions. Never use bent, damaged or obstructed tubes. Ensure tube is free from primer residue buildup. Periodically clean inside of tube using soap and warm water...

A Safety Reminder from RCBS dated 03/14/2013 says never force or pound/tap on live primers, tap or pound on loaded primer tubes or otherwise attempt to clear obstructions on your own. Doing so can cause serious injury. If you experience a feeding problem in a primer tube, follow these steps: 1...

I an going to read again my owners booklet on this bench rest priming system. I know on the hand held RCBS system there is a statement that says the primer being seated is sealed off from the rest on the tray by a Patented safety system.

Shot gun shooters have been asking for years now, is lead shot ever going down? Once the manufacturers see the retail price is there to stay, I don think it will ever come down, and the same goes for reloading brass components, they will not come down to where they use to be.

I found a very accurate load for my 243 WIN.Savage Model 110 . 42.5 grains of H4350.

For my .375 H&H I use the Speer 285 GS. I have taken several Oryx and they usually drop in their tracks if shot through the lungs with major exit wounds.Mine is a Chas. Daly 98 Mouser, I use 79 grains on RL 19 and WLRM primers, Hornady, Nosler, Norma, R P, or PPU Brass.

Looking at the Relative Burn Rate Chart in the Lyman 50th edition: H1000 is 119th on the list. The powder at 118 is N170 VitaVuori,and the powder at 120 is Magnum, Ramshot. I think it is reasonable to say getting as close as possible should work well.

From my Lyman 50th manual: Nontheless best accuracy often occurs with all bullet weights when using Hodgdon 380 powder. I shoot darts using the 140 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets. Good hunting!!

I always clean out the primer pocket on all but brand new cases. I use a brush and also a Q tip to get all the carbon out of the pocket. Federal primers are larger as reported above. Try CCI 200 and make sure your brass is not small primer pocket!

I had a hard time getting on the Savage website. It was not a enter once and done. It did not seem to like my password also. I was wanting to look a one and find a dealer around Abilene Texas.

I would go with the Remington 7mm-08. It will shoot both deer and Elk, in fact a bunch of people say it is their best deer rifle. It will handle bullets up to 170 grain for elk.

In my Lyman 50th edition I quote this sentence"Nonerheless best accuracy often occurs with all bullet weights when using Hodgdon H380. I shoot 140 ballistic tips are very accurate at 100 yards. Try them. 7mm-08.

I have one on my 338 Winchester. It works as indicated and adds weight to my rifle. I will say your measurements at the end of your barrel and three inches back must be exact in order for them to make it so it fits properly.
