[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 3037422, member: 1951"] Well, I'm up this morning thinking. No better time than today to get hot with getting my 7-30 Waters going. First, fireforming…..my method: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/cow-fireforming-recipe.303247/[/URL] …and then we cannot forget the misfire lessons learned with the 30 Herrett: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/contender-firing-pin-not-hitting-primer-consistently.334756/[/URL] For bullets, I have 120gr V-max and 140gr VLD Hunting. Both are in the right weight range, just need to pick one. Thoughts? I have no idea what velocities I'll get. I'd like to get 2300fps out of whatever I take to the field, but the barrel is only 14" and Contenders are prone to being damaged by chasing velocity. For primers, I have CCI large rifle. For powder, I'm thinking h4895 or H322, but not sure what else there is. I like the temp stability of H4895 or H322. Any advice? [/QUOTE]
