    Range Report 26 Nosler

    PTG has the reamer print now. It's a 404 Jeffery/RUM shortened to 2.59 with a 70 degree shoulder. Nice size cartridge. I used QuickDesign to make variants from .243 to .458. Very cool ballistics on every caliber. 243 is a little ridiculous. 257 is just weird 264 is a 26 Nosler 277 would be...

    Range Report Which 7mm

    Neck down a 375 Ruger, go with a 7 Dakota, or neck up a 26 Nosler. Pretty much the same think except for some minor and rim dimensions.

    Gonna build a 338 - 338 Edge or 338 RUM

    I've been busy with work since the last update. My work season is most intense from August to October but this year got extended through December. All the parts are off to the gun smith.

    Trim new brass before neck turning??

    I use a Forster Original with neck turning, indexes off the base same as sizing. This is my procedure: FL size with an over sized expander so the ID is the same size as bullet diameter. Turn, for BR chambers to chamber spec, for standard chambers, skim/truing. Neck size. Trim to minimum length...

    208 AMAX in 300 weatherby

    I don't feel comfortable quoting max loads outside of published manuals. I'm sure that a load for IMR4350 can be found. Regarding freebore: as I understand it, the long freebore is/was part of Roy Weatherby's philosophy. Give the bullet a running start results in reduce pressures and increased...

    208 AMAX in 300 weatherby

    Eight_Ring, When I plug what is available into QL, predictions are with 1% of your published actual for all loads. EI: Your actual 66grns of H4350 was 2666 my predicted was 2643 Classic/standard/conservative would say to use a slower powder than H4350, it seems to work. FWIW: My 300WSM load...

    Magnetospeed use with forward brake? Anyone out there had issues?

    I have used my V2 plenty with radial pattern brakes. Not with the holes facing forward but 'normal'. There are no issues AFAIK.
