    Another .308 brass to 7mm-08 or .243 Thread

    Some Data Ok, here's some data from my 1st two (dummy attempts): These 308's have a 3 letter stamping. The 1st letter is a "C" or an "O" or a "Q". I can't tell. The middle letter is a "B". I'm sure of that one. The 3rd letter looks to be a "C" or a "G". 1. I set up my Hornady 7mm-08 die...

    Another .308 brass to 7mm-08 or .243 Thread

    Hi All, I have a 7mm-08 and a .243. Since purchasing brass for both; I've been given some .308 once-fired and previously-fired 7mm-08 brass. I expect I'll be given more .308 brass at occasional intervals in the future. I'm interested in resizing some of them down to .243. I'm thinking - 1...

    Another Newbie Question About Partial Length Resizing

    I am thinking I want to back the die out, not screw it further in...? I thought good 'ol IMR-4064 would be the ticket also, but, I shot 5 groups on Wednesday with loads from 39.4 grns to 41.0 grns. The 1st three were right at 1 inch. Group 4 was 15/16 inch and group 5 was 1-3/4 inches. The...

    Another Newbie Question About Partial Length Resizing

    I'm in the process of working up another load for my new, frustrating .243 (or maybe its the frustrating Sierra 70 HPBT Matchking) and used up all my new brass. I was 3 cases short, so, I decided to try partial length sizing a few of my once-fired cases. I'm using Hornady dies and the sizer was...

    Reloading: Differences in Reloading Data

    An Example with the .243 Ok, I'm loading up my very 1st loads for my new 243 with the Sierra 70 gr HPBT Matchking with H380. The Sierra manual specifies 39.6 to a max of 42.0 grains of powder for this bullet, along with the 70 gr Blitzking and 75 gr HP. The Hodgdon data specifies a starting...

    Another Newbie Question Regarding Bullet Seating Depth

    These Savages have long throats! I've got a brand new Model 11FHNS in .243 that I'm working up my very 1st load for. I chose the Sierra 70 gr HPBT Matchking. Using the Hornady OAL gauge, I've found the throat is so deep on this rifle that the bullet is falling out of the case when it touches...

    Reloading: Differences in Reloading Data

    Hi Everyone, After 25 years of being out of shooting & reloading; I've dived back in, purchasing a 243 and a 7mm-08 (both Savages). I have a few different bullet weights and two powders (H380 and IMR-4064), but, am confused about differences in powder charges - for the same powder and bullet...
