  1. IMR 7383 useful?

    Hey guys Gibrass has some IMR 7383 in stock for about $10 a pound. I’d like to get some to try out. He states to use IMR 4831 data and reduce by 15% to start.

The recipe as is, Twist: 1:10.000" Barrel Length: 4.000" Trim Length: 0.750" BULLET WEIGHT...

  6. 300 savage bullets seating deep.

    Howdy folks, I’ve shot some of my 300 savage reloads and accuracy kinda sucked, I’ll have to tune things in a bit. my question is is there such a thing as seating a bullet to deep?

  11. 7x57 Lead SP Touching Rifling

    New reloader here with probably a simple question. Started reloading some 7x57 with Remingtons old 175gr RNSP bullets. Lyman 45th manual says to seat at 3.065 seating there causes the lead SP to engage the rifling (but not the jacket) making the bolt a little harder to close. This made me...

So my reloading manuals vary a little bit with OAL. Lyman 45th says 2.900 with any bullet, for testing...
