  • Your post about using 250 FTX in the 460. Did you seat the bullet lower? I tried to use it using Enforcer powder at minimum and the round was too long. Not sure if seating it lower will make the round not work and fear damage to my gun.
    I'm searching, unsuccessfully, for the post on "Single Shot Rifle Actions".
    J.E. Is that a post started by you? Anxious to read/learn.

    I use the 120 grain Ballistic tip with H414 powder, CCI Br2 primer ata muzzle velocity of 3010 ft/sec. the second best load is the same except I use Varget for a little more velocity.

    The 7/08 needs a muzzle velocity of 3000 ft/sec+ to help the bullets perform. I have used this load up to 500+ yards with 100% success.

    I was just wondering, I built a custom 7-08 & found to my surprise best accuracy with Fed premium with nosler partition bullet..(under 1/2 moa). I shot a couple of deer with it & exit wound was bigger than a coffee cup.! It's amazing how far a big whitetail can run with no heart & very little lung. Thanks for the load info! Kirk
    Thanks for your response to my "manuals" post. An aside question - what source do you use for beginning loads for wildcat cartridges?

    I normally start with the parent case loads and use the increase in case capacity to find a starting loads Based on the design.

    It sounds simple, but you have to stay away from Squib loads. Often I will use a lighter bullet with the powder charge for heavier bullets to hold pressures down. I consider 90% case density a good starting point.

    Hello, not trying to bug you or anything, just wanted to tell you I have learned the most from you on the forum by far. You explain things in a way that's easy to understand. I came to forum for reloading and shooting knowledge / information and many know quite a lot on here, but few can impart it to others....You can. Thanks Dave

    Thanks, !
    I see many post that people just state that It is "The only way" or It is not necessary, and don't give an explanation of why.
    I just try to explain why I do things the way I do so people can at least see the reasoning why and chose the method they like.

    If some think I'm crazy, Ok, It is what has worked best for me.

    Thanks again for the kind words.

    Good Morning Sir, I saw that you rebarreled a micro medallion in 22 hornet. What barrel did you use for that? I have one that needs the same treatment. Thanks
