I am interested. How much for the IDS 3.5 inch slugs?

I am. But what does NOS mean?

Definitely will have an effect. Thats why I haven't bought one.

I have a new long fat barrel on the way and I wanna try the 250 A-TIP. I have had 4 boxes sitting on the shelf unopened. The Manual has zero. 300PRC is close but if anyone has actual data I would appreciate it

So I have been searching for some Lightfield 3.5 inch slugs for a while now and they are sold out everywhere. Not only the 3.5 inch but all Lightfield ammo is out of stock. Does anyone know what situation is with the company? They still have a website, but the most recent news that has been...

The r33 load data came from aliant powder website.

That is exactly why im asking. As I said in the beginning of my post, I examined every single case after firing with a magnifying glass. The primers looked fine. No craters. No flattening around the edges. The primer of the case before the charge that nlew the primer looked exactly like the...

I guess that I need to start all over and be more specific about what is happening here. I bought a new 300 wby. I bought a full set of reloading dies and components for it. I also bought 5 boxes of Weatherby 180 grain ammo. This I used to get my scope zeroed and break in the barrel. Best...

This is all brand new Hornady brass. CCI 250 magnum primers. Primed with a Lee auto prime. I shot a couple dozen rounds yesterday. That's all my shoulder can handle in one sitting. No more blown primers. I left the oal the same and backed the charge off 3 grains. Accuracy isn't getting any...

I have followed standard reloading practices to the letter. My problem is that .300Weatherby rifles have standard. 361 inches of free bore. So its impossible to get close to the lands. Maybe with one of the new super long high bc bullets, but that won't work because the barrel is 1/10 twist...

You must not have read the entire post. I did start low. I loaded 5 each of 5 different loads with 3 different powders. Only variable was the charge weight. I examined each case with a magnifying glass after I fired it before moving to the next load. I never saw any signs of pressure. All of...

So how does everyone on here shoot rounds loaded longer than max coal?

I was using a chrono. Velocity was higher than my book max, but my length was a quarter inch longer and I was using about 2 extra grains of powder because of that extra space. Isn't that the point of these new short fat cartridges? To be able to use a long bullet and not have it reduce case...

Primer fell out. Was in the bottom of the mag. Was new Hornady brass.

I'm fine with the limits of the cartridge. I just don't have any load data for it at coal anything other than factory spec. And for whatever reason the cases and primers weren't showing any signs of pressure before the primers blew. I examined each one with a magnifying glass.
