    correct toasted coriander seeds is the classic spice for Biltong not Cardamon but some may like that also. While a biltong box may help you do not need one to make biltong. The process of soaking the...

    Yes the 4.5-14 x40 are dim, have a critical/ unforgiving eyebox. The 3.5-10x and vx5 3.5-15x are way more user friendly. As is the baby 2.5-8x. Im also interested in the 30 mm version. Pretty...

    Measuring the desired length is one thing. Getting the same length from your seating die less the 10-20 thou etc consistently can also be a challenge.

    RCBS make a calibre specific seating guage. Bos had a .270 win one for sale here recently. The hornady system above is more flexible if you shoot multiple calibres and you can thread your own cases...

    Bos, The old hut I use is in a hollow with no radio or phone reception. UE boom and play list on the phone works well when the “silence” has been enjoyed fully.

    2950 with a 140 in a 6.5-284 is about the right balance between velocity, and case life so would think you would want much more velocity in the similar capacity 06 case. Another 50-100 fps maybe?

    In 6.5/284 I use 2209 @ 58.5 with a 140 for 2940 fps. Been up to 51.5 but destroys lapua brass in 3 firings. With 2213 I have to go to about 51.5 gns. I’d also look at RL22 if you have some...

    Robh500, make sure you lube inside the case mouths and also rub a bit of lube on the sizing button. You will notice the difference.

    Jakewire, I have had issues getting SSTs to shoot in some rifles also. In the 06 try a good 150 grain cup and core with 2209 start at about 57 and go to 60. 60 will give you close to 3000 fps....
