    Bad pressure issues and can't figure out Update

    Re: Bad pressure issues and can't figure out why. I don't anneal. But, I would agree that he might have softened some cases while annealing. As others are saying.

    Bad pressure issues and can't figure out Update

    Re: Bad pressure issues and can't figure out why. You seem to be argumentative with those attempting to help you work through this problem. Have you verified your damn case length? Did you ever tell us you weren't cooking the damn loads? xfan talks of reduced capacity for this case. Do...

    Bad pressure issues and can't figure out Update

    Re: Bad pressure issues and can't figure out why. xfan might be onto it. On what are you basing your load criteria and case criteria? Is your gun getting hot, is it baking in the sun? *Do you leave any load in the gun for a period, before firing? Why haven't you verified your case length...

    Bad pressure issues and can't figure out Update

    Re: Bad pressure issues and can't figure out why. Do you know what your neck clearance is, with a loaded round, And, what the distance is to the end of the chamber (neck), for comparison to case oal?

    Why no pressure signs???

    Re: Why no pressure signs??? You can probably add 100fps to your load to make up for the short barrel. Therefore, you're probably 2 grains and 100fps faster than book.

    Why no pressure signs???

    Re: Why no pressure signs??? I don't know if it's been mentioned, but you need to verify your powder drops are not light. Verify your scale accuracy with check weights.

    Re: 25-06 vs 257 Weatherby Mag Nosler book #4; 100 gr ballistic tips 25-06 100 gr 3352 24" barrel 257 Wea 100 gr 3602 26" barrel Add 2" to 06 barrel 3402 = 200fps diff Much the norm wherever I look. Some newer powder offerings might have changed things, but I don't have that data.

    Hunting & Fishing 25-06 vs 257 Weatherby Mag

    Re: 25-06 vs 257 Weatherby Mag fireguyty, I'm not trying to make anything. It's when peeps start making inflated claims, that I think they might need to be checked. That's what we were doing. The 257 Wea gives about 200 fps extra velocity, and that's about it. Not 360. So, we get...

    Re: 25-06 vs 257 Weatherby Mag "100 Nosler partition (different bullet, same weight) 16 powders listed 3295 with H100V" I can push this bullet to 3400fps, perhaps more, right out of the Nosler manual, if using a 26" barrel, with the 25-06. With 257 Wea, 26", 200 fps faster. We need to...

    Hunting & Fishing 25-06 vs 257 Weatherby Mag

    Re: 25-06 vs 257 Weatherby Mag fireguyty, I think we might be pushin the envelope here a little. Looking at Hodgdon, and then my manuals, I can't get the extremes of difference that you are. The H data doesn't list enough pertinent data to proclaim the differences that you claim. The...

    Re: 25-06 vs 257 Weatherby Mag fireguyty, "First of all, Hodgdon list the smallest difference at the 117 grain bullets at 253 fps, and the largest at 100 grain bullets at 360 fps." Where are you getting this data?

    K98 rebuild

    Re: K98 rebuild Whether it is 7x57 or 8x57 is of no matter, as the case tapers are nearly identical, unlike the tapers of the '06 or '08 family of cases. If I wanted a 7mm, I would use the 8 case, for more powder capacity.
