Hey guys, thanks alot for all information. I can see that I have to buy more CCI primers. I use them for high power , but got a deal on the Win. primers WSPM and have about 700 left. Maybe I can use they my plinking loads with Unique. I will try CCI and 17.5-18.0 gr. of Win. 296.

Thanks for the comeback. The brass ejects just fine, and the load shoots good. I will try some CCI SPM primers, and see how they do. If they are flat too, I will have to live with flatened primers till that powder is gone. Thank's again.

loaded up 10 140gr. Hornady XTP,with Win. 296 start load of 17.1 gr, 357 Mag Win. brass new, Win. SPM primers. The gun is a 6" S&W 686, The primers were flat that you could hardly see the bevel of the primer hole in the brass. I heard that you are not to reduce the loads with this powder. What...

270 bar Thats funny I too have a 270 BAR that will shoot MOA with factory stuff, don't give up try different stuff. You will find what it likes, that is why we handload to get the best out of the gun.

Try different powder My son's Rem doesn't like 4350 it shoots all over the place, but most people love it in a 243, MY 308 doesn't like rem cor-locks shoots 2" and sometimes bigger groups. But with Sierra,Hornady, or Nosler she will shoot under a inch if I do my part. Or try different bullet...

165 & varget I use 165gr Game Kings with Varget,Lapua Brass,CCI BR2 primers, 45.5 grains of powder ,COL. 2.750 with a velocity of 2740 out of my Vanguard's 24" barrel

243 powder Hi all, In my rem700 I use IMR 4831, for 100 gr Sierra Game king and 87gr Hornady both will hold under a inch at 100. The 100gr at 2930 and the 87 at 3230. The 100gr GK when put in the right place is good Whitetail medicine. My son got his first buck this year, shot was a little high...

Will this do.Love this gun

Wow, thank you all for the feed back, As far as the blue dot I went to MBC 158 lswc and drop the load to 9.5 gr., avg.velocity of 1265, but 200fps it would very. Then I read about the pressure spikes in cold temperature, so I got some Unique. I will use it for targets and I guess I will have to...

Thanks for the come back I thought I did something wrong because no said anything back. I don't have 296 but thanks anyway.

Hi you all. I have not loaded a lot of pistol loads. I load more for 308 Win. I want to load some 140 gr HP/XTP with Unique Powder, I tried the Accuracy load out of Sierra 5th Ed. with Blue Dot of 12.4 and the primer flowed around the fire pin and stop the cylinder from turning on my 6" 686...
