    Compressed load question

    Hi! Just looked in Quickload for a load with N135 powder and was suprised. Wen I reached 105% compressed load I was 3300 bar in pressure and low velocity, max for the caliber is 4050. Is it safe to load 105-110% compressed or should I change powder. The burning rate of this powder should be...

    Lee collet die. Neck tension?

    Thank you. I was thinking it was about how much force i used with press, and then its impossible to use the same amount of force for every shell.

    Wildcat question

    I wonder, if you want to shorten a caliber can it be done by running the reamer short and then to load just cut off the standard FL die with no need to order a custom die?

    DBM vs. Hinged Floorplate

    I like DBM flush. Like rem 700 factory dbm or kwik klip. What i really hate but still own myself is dbm like aics sticking out under.

    Big bullets, short barrel, 7mm08

    Your dad was right. Speed is for drop and BC is for wind. A slow high bc bullet is going to hit were the crosshair is if you compensate the drop. A fast bullet with low bc is much much harder to compensate. You get less drop but the wind is moving the bullet.

    Remington 783 vs. lower priced Remington 700s

    I borrow the thread with a question. Do you consider 700P LTR to be higher quality than a standard 700? LTR have a more expensive stock than say sps, but is the action/barrel better made?

    Searching for a effective 7mm

    Ok i might been off regarding velocitys but what I ment was a 7mm caliber using fast powder. There are tons of nice 7mm caliber. 280 remington is my favourite! But all of them 280/284/7-08/7x57/7x64 work best with 24 inch or longer barrels and with slow powders. I was looking at how good the...
