I use magnum primers in my Barnes load 308.
Wil take em back. Might just get my cash back and look for other options.......cant ruin my first reloading experience with a fucked bolt face!!! Might put me off ;)
Another mate recently had three out of 100 let go in his Rem 700 5R 308, a few bits of shit hit his face, so without glasses they are definitely dangerous.....Quote:

Not much damage to the bolt face compared to others I have seen, but still visible damage none the less that degrades the value of his very nice rifle....
Nothing wrong with using magnum primers, if you have an existing load with standard primers it pays to back off a grain or so & work back up again.
I won't load any Winchester primers after seeing all the damage they have caused...
Nail in the coffin!! They are going back, thanks Greg.Quote:

Remember to try and shoot off a bag if possible - you're testing the loads, not testing your shooting ability ...

@Gibo if you are going to be near Te Awamutu at any stage I got a part box of federal 210 match primers you can have all you need to do is come pick them up.
That would be mint! Cant imagine when I could get there though :(Quote:

Happy with my shooting and cant believe how mush a little powder changes shit.
51.5 it is :D

Yeah stoked mate. I loaded up 9 more of 51.5 grn so at least if i go for a deersie I know im in with a chance. After the 1st 3 I dropped my poi by 2MOA as it was not the height I wanted. I also moved it 1MOA left after the rest so should be about bang on for 200. Will be tested though to be sure. Just need a crony now and then I can make a droppy:D
Question: The crown on my rifle is now filthy with black residue, never had that issue with factory loads. Is this normal and what will get it off? Hoppers didnt.

Run a wet patch thru with this stuff on it and you will be amazed what comes out..
I use 2 wet ptaches, wet the brush and scrub it, then another wet patch. The dry ones.. Then an oily patch and a dry patch...
Some guys leave the oil in there

Good to see another reloading 'addict'.
:D
Any .270 users tried 110gr on red deer ? Looking to load up some reduced loads for a youngster that still do the business for shooting in close and would be very interested to hear how the Sierra Pro Hunter in this weight performs at 2200-2500 ft/sec ?
At close range with the 110gn pills in .270 you will be shooting more like 3200-3400fps.
he did say at reduced loadsQuote:
