I made a round up to shoot at the gunsmiths with 30.0 Varget and a 105 Berger and it formed out perfectly.I'd like to form my cases using the 87 V-Max on pds.Just wondering what you guys
like.TIA

30gr N140 with 105 scenars... had 3 or 4 splits out of 300 cases. Use CCI primers as Federal and PMC are pierced easily when forming.
 
I've used 32grs. Varget with moly'd S107MKs to fireform over 1000 BRs in three different rifles. Velocity was 2890-2900fps, and accuracy was plenty good for 600yd. any/any highpower matches. FF'd the bulk of my cases in 3x600 & 4x600 matches.

Tried H4895 with S85BTHPs, but got blanked primers before I could get the shoulders to fill out correctly.
 
I also use 30gr Varget with 107gr Sierra if molly 31gr is no trouble jam them into the lands and if you like make a false shoulder i do as i believe it will help reduce case strech during forming and they shoot under 1" at 300 yards.

Thanks guys,

I can't wait to get out and shoot the dasher.
Neck turning for the next couple nights.
I think I'll burn up the Varget and see how it does down range.

Hi again my load for my 8 twist 26" Dasher is 33.6gr Varget Rem 7 1/2 primer Molly Sierra107gr

Shoots under 3" elevation at 1000 yards and have shot just over 1/2" 5 shot group at 300 yards.

Start below and work up slowly as it is safe in my rifle i have found it awsome on the target.
