I bought a nice gun in 204 ruger. It came with the dies and 200 rounds of 204 ruger only about 50 of them are still loaded. Neither one of the bullet cases has any information on it. I would like to duplicate this round. So far, I have pulled the bullet and weighed it. 40 Gr. It is black and...

Per the Berger calculator, the 1:12 twist will not stabilize a 40 gr bullet.

thank you all for the great advise. Rifling is 1:12. I have used the hornady headspace gauge. I cannot get the bullet even close to the lands in this gun, or the other 204 Ruger Hawkeye predator I have. The bullet falls out of the case, before it touches the lands. Both of my ruger rifles have...

I need some help. I have been reloading now for 6+ years. I have a ruger Mk77 rifle 26" bull barrel, Target model in 204 ruger. My groups used to be 2" at 100 yds. I have gotten them down to 1/2" or less at 100yds. I ladder tested my powder loads and this got me to the smaller groups. My OAL is...

Finally figured them out It has been a while since I updated this post. I finally figured out what the deal was with this ammo. I am not sure why the Kinematics Research 7.62x25 ammo ended up the way it did, but the cases are about 17 thousands too short. This explains why it is blowing out the...

Ron, My primer pocket on two of the loads measured 0.177 with a set of calipers. I am using Winchester small pistol primers. I am under the assumption, that the primers in this brass are already loose, before I fired them. I am going to take some more of them apart, and check the primers...

Does anyone have experience with Kinematics Research plant 7.62 ammo? It is made with starline brass. I do not know what powder they put in it, but it has 6.1 grains in it. says 1750 FPS on the box. I bought 4 boxes of it cheap at a gun show. $9 a box. I am having issue with them in my CZ-52...

Kevin, Can you tell if that is a powder measure or shot drop, on the top of my press. It does not look the same as your powder measure.

turret handle here is my first attempt at making a handle for the turret. I understand now, why they sell for $30 on the bay. It takes quite a bit of time, to turn one of these on the lathe. It is not perfect, but it turned out nice. The shape is a little different. I will post pictures of the...

Does anyone know the size of the adapter, for the powder die?

I have a small lathe, The turret handles will be a cool project to complete. I have not done any threading yet, so this will be a learning experience. Not sure, how to form the flats on the turret handle, but I do not know that they are really necessary. After learning to cut threads, I may...

Fred, how did you add a pool ball to the end? Thread the rod end? Drill a hole in a pool ball and epoxy?

I scoured ebay for one of these, and could not find one or got outbid at the last moment. I finally found one locally. It is a Hollywood Gun Shop Senior Turret Press. I have a few questions. Where do I get the adapters, for the bottom of the powder die? Did the press come with all 3 turret...

I too think the design is cool. I like how the front of the press is wide open. nothing in the way of loading a case in it. I was going to purchase one of these, if I could not find a hollywood senior press, but I found a Senior turret! I am going to purchase it tomorrow!!!!!

Were these shot off of a rest? IF so, please describe? I am new to shooting rifles and would like to be able to get groups like this.

Kevin, I was referring to older presses in general. Not the ones in your picture. I see some CH, Pacific, Redding, RCBS, etc that have a slight lean to them. They lean back a bit. Is there any reason for this? It seems like the newer presses all go directly vertical. Rock chucker for instance...

Dunbar Kevin, I just saw a Dunbar sell on the bay. They look stout. Solid steel. Nothing cast.

I have a question about some of the older presses. Many of them seem to lean back a few degrees. Was or is there a specific reason for this? I see that most of the newer presses just go straight up and down.

Kevin, What is that press on the far right side of your bench? It is only partially visible in the picture.

Otto, That is what I want! LeonCarr, I am under the impression, that they also called the tall hollywood with a turret on top a Senior, also. Or Universal.
