Thanks guys. I couldnt agree more that I am over pressure. I used the Lyman 49 as my primary book for load data. Thats where I get my charges from. I loaded down to 64.5-66 with the BT's to see where I am on the crono. Saturday was the first time I got to shoot through one and that made me...

Poorly miss typed. Yes the numbers were 3400+. Crono was about 20' from muzzle. Checked my scale and it's right on per the test weight. Just worked up some lower loads at 64.5-66. I'll be sending them as soon as I can get to thenjoy range again.

I was in this same situation for the last year. I finally pulled the trigger a bit over a month ago. The Lee classic cast and the RCBS are the two most comparable SS presses. Both are cast iron. The Challenger is cast Aluminum. The Lee CC is made from recycled USA railroad tracks. The RCBS...

So many of my reloading google searches direct me here. Looked around a bit and signed up. Been involved in one way or another with firearms for 20+ years now. Been a serious surf fisherman for the last 10, but life changes brought me to hunting again. So anyway here I am. I look forward to...
