I tried this in the handloading forum, but wanted to try here also Odd thing happened yesterday, took the Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter 7.5in barrel, 44mag & Ruger GP100 357 6in barrel to the range to sight-in today. I was sighting in my GP100 today with new Williams Sights, it all went...

Odd thing happened today, took the Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter 7.5in barrel, 44mag & Ruger GP100 357 6in barrel to the range to sight-in today. I was sighting in my GP100 today with new Williams Sights, it all went well with the 357. Then i moved onto the 44mag SBHH to check some loads...

Thanks Bullseye308, Yes I do weigh the charges, every 10th case or so I will check what the Lee Auto Disk is dropping with my scale. Plus I have deteremined ahead of time by dropping and weighing 5 to 10 times what each slot in the Lee Auto Disk is actually going to drop of the 4 different...

Thanks folks, just good to hear this is not uncommon, the shells all shot well. I think i will bump up the charge. The next slot in my LEE turrent disk is 5.4gr of Tightgroup, I may just give it a try. the max for FMJ bullets is 5.2 and the max for Lead is 5.4, at least in the Hogedon manual, my...

What causes these burn / powder marks on the cases sides? Is it the crimp? to heavy? These where loaded with 5.1gr Tightgroup with 200gr Rainier RN plated bullets (1.26 COAL) and also some where 5.1 gr Tightgroup with 200gr Hornady HP XTP (1.23 COAL) , brass is Starline and wolf primers where...

:rolleyes: Ok ....... took the die apart, figured out if i pulled hard enough, then collet part of the die pulled off over the broken case neck. Then i took a socket to slip over the collet rod and tapped lightly with a hammer on the upper portion of the internal rod guide, this pushed the...

I have a Lee Collet Die in 7mm-08 I neck sized 50 new Winchester Cases today to assure they all had the samre neck tension. With 3 cases left to do, I resized a case and as i was pulling the press arm back up to extract the shell past the internal sizeing ball the case became difficult to...

Don Hume H721OT Snugs up tight OWB and with the right shirt stays hidden surprisingly well. I walked around a whole day in front of my family in shorts and a dark t-shirt and they never knew. Covers the trigger well, but has an open top, no strap but does not seem to be an issue, fits very...

Hornady 165 SSTs Yes i have used the 165 SST last year hunting, Hit a 350lb Axis Buck at abt 100 yds, bullet pulverized the heart and large portions of both lungs, and actually exited, at least part of it did. I found various bits of tissue behind were I hit the buck on the ground, he staggered...

Loads of good info here guys, Thanks I have been checking everything out that has been mentioned. The cases that were bent, I ran them through an old FL die (RCBS) and loaded some dummy rounds into them, they chamber fine with no hard bolt. I have examined the decape pins on both dies and the...

The Press is a C&H, probably 30 yrs old, has twin steel guides like an arbor press. The sheel holder is a RCBS, the one where different calibers can interchange by snapping in and out. The is specific to 308. As I said I only started to notice the problem when I started neck sizing, but it could...
