Kaldor, what is your exact setup with that 4155? It's currently at the top of my want list :D

In the latest issue of Handloader, Mike Venturino talks about loading reduced (squib, gallery, whisper, etc) for old military cartridges. While the article covered Mausers to Mosins, Enfields and Springfields, my main focus would be the 8mm Mauser cartridge. While I don't have my copy on hand, I...

Last year when I started reloading it was for my .270 win. With IMR 4831 and a 130gr Barnes TTSX I took my biggest buck ever though I never actually measured my groups with those loads. This year I used IMR 4350 and 130gr Nosler Partitions and wound up with my second biggest deer. I actually...

Thanks for the input guys and sorry for the late reply, things get hectic this time of year with harvest. Haven't had time to shoot my A17 yet so hopefully I don't have issues there. Still wish it had irons on it though......

A few years ago I killed my largest bodied deer (up to that point in time) with that exact load in my old Kar98k. He wa hot on the trail of a doe about 70 yards out. One shot and he dropped. I didn't read through the other comments but Sellior and Belliot and Prvi Partisan (PPU) are Czech made...

Hi guys, I have a new Savage A 17 on the way and was debating what kind of optics to put on it. I'm mainly using it to replace my ruger 10/22 since ammo for it is still extinct around here, and it'll be mainly be used for pest control and poking around creeks and such for rabbits this winter. My...

RC, I was curious as to how bad a barrel burner the 6mm Rem could be as I know both the 6mm-06 and hot 243 loads are know to toast barrels. Ruger, I seriously contemplated the 6.5-06 thought the main reason I scratched that one off the list is because I already have 2 .270 wins and a 6.5...

Hi all, just looking for any info or experience on the 6mm Remington, I've got a Mauser action that it would fit into great. I've got just a few questions. First, besides buying 6mm brass, how easy is it to form brass from either the 7mm Mauser or .257 Roberts? Second, does it have much...

When I get home I'll have to check my manuals for sure, but according to Wikipedia the COAL for the .375 is only 1mm longer (79mm) than the .303 (78mm) while the .405 is 2 mm longer( 80). Magazine issues were my first thought as the .303 is double stacked though with the bigger cartridges it...

Since I've been snowed in the past few days I decided to revisit an old idea I had concerning rechambering an old Lee Enfield that I have (No 4 mk1). It's an old sporter I acquired a few years back cleaning out my grandparents house and I feel like doing something unique to it. Having done some...

Yeah I'm definitely going to recheck my manual and call Lee. I just took my .270 dummy round I made and checked it against the some of the loaded rounds I had leftover. Loaded rounds all weighed right about 370gr (+-up to .3) while the dummy weighed (adding the 5.4gr of the primer) 320gr. A...

Actually, I just started reloading 45 LC for my dad TONIGHT Glock. He's been wanting me to load some since last fall but I kept telling him I wanted a more trustworthy scale first! As for Lee, I'm tempted to call them up....

Glad I'm not the only one! Well sorta, don't want anyone to get hurt. But it does make sense now. My first batch I started with the 52gr starting load, which now should be more like 46gr. The recoil was so mild it was almost like shooting my old 6.5 Swede! Maybe I found a nice "managed recoil"...

I'm sure I zeroed but maybe I did it wrong. I read the reloading manual front to back twice just to make sure and even had a friend who reloads (with the same set) help me load my first batch. I debated even posting this because I was sure its some sort of operator error. And no, I didn't have...

Well I must have an angel watching out for me. Tonight I finally busted out my new Hornady digital scale (GS-1500) and decided to test its accuracy compared to my Lee Safety Powder Scale that came in my Lee Anniversary kit. I had just a tiny bit of trouble with it last fall when I started...

So the other day my wife laid down the law and told me that the next firearm I purchase has to be for her, it has to be pink, and has to fit her comfortably. Now, she'll be happy wether it's a bow, handgun or rifle. We have a real good archery shop in town, and I know plenty about rifles, but...

Thanks for the input guys. I've heard lots of good things about those 90 gr Sierra's for varmints and if you can push those to 3700 I wonder what 5-10 grains lighter will do. :evil: And yeah I wondered how well those 180 gr bullets would stabilize. I'm tempted to order some for the heck of it...

This is my first year reloading and so far I've only reloaded for my .270. I put down a nice buck at around 300 yards (307 according to the range finder) with a Barnes 130 gr TTSX loaded over 56gr of IMR4831. 57gr is the max load and is compressed. The bullet went clean through taking out both...

Hi guys, last fall I finally got into reloading and started with the .270 Winchester. Thanks to help I got from some of you guys on here I took a really nice buck (5x4) during rifle this year. As of now, a Barnes 130gr TTSX on top of 56gr of IMR4831 is my go to deer load :D. Now that I have...

Thanks for the input guys. The few articles I've found on the cartridge stated it was designed for the M98 but the length and rim size made me hesitate. I'm by no means married to the cartridge and just thought it would be something different and more unique. The rifle I have is a 1918 Gew. 98...
