Thread: Dies

You will

You know me too well

When I went to Napier today I picked up a few boxes of primers plus have more on the way so loaded the last 14 spare shells I had since some projectiles had turned up, 140's this time. 114 rounds so far, its extremely addicting.

Get a trickler, I use one on my lee scales and it makes it so much faster and easier, more accurate to i reckon, well worth the $30 or so.

Yeah I found a Hornady one for $25 and will probably get it one day.

10 shots touching at 100 is very good.... should post up some pics of groups. What cartridges are you reloading for?

A .270. I will see if the target is still in my mates car tomrrow or so.

Right here are the first test loads for the .300WinMag, more powder should be here tomorrow also the WSM dies should bloody be here.



That group is the first 3 reloads then the rest are just factory shots to get a average velocity to compare them with, also a few other hand loads shots there but from my brother but those first 3 were the main 3. hope my .300 loads do the same.

Oh thats only 50m btw, I will test at 100m properly next time I go out hopefully before I fuck off.

The .300WSM dies finally turned up and the 2209 came aswell so I loaded 10 up.
