    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : Powder for 303 150's
    Greetings Micky and .303, The primers are backing out due to low pressure and generous headspace. Nothing to worry about. This also means that pressures are low enough so you can probably just neck...

    Greetings again Jusepy, Thanks for your reply. My early experience with .303 rifles drove me nuts. Handloading for them (yes there were two, a number 1 Parker Hale conversion and a jungle carbine)...

    Greetings Jusepy, Having started hunting with a no1 Lee Enfield in the late 1960's I really can't recommend one as a first centre fire rifle. If you can shoot it as is (no scope just the original...

    Cyclops liked post by grandpamac On thread : Ammo and Reloading components shortage.
    Greetings All, After a quick stock take in the handloading area I believe I am well placed to ride out the current shortages. Enough for the foreseeable future and in some cases a lifetime supply....

    Greetings Scout. I suspect that you may be waiting a while for someone using the .350 Legend. New cartridges need to fill some need, imaginary or not, to succeed. It may survive a while in the US...

    Woody liked post by grandpamac On thread : Full length resizing 7mm Rem Mag problem
    Greetings Woody, The bulge can be removed on 7mm Rem Mag cases using a stripped .300 Win Mag die. You need to place the case on top of the shell holder and run the case into the die until the die...

    Greetings Nick.m, I suspect you are over sizing your cases. This is likely to happen if you set your die down hard on the shell holder. See Pommy's post about shoulder bumping above. Belted cases...

    Kiwi Sapper liked post by grandpamac On thread : 12ga shotgun slugs
    Greetings All, If hurling large chunks of lead through the air is the object, why not just buy a 45-70. Hodgdon has data with cast lead down to 700 fps with Trailboss (485 grain cast LFP with 8...

    Greetings Smallfoot, I thought that might be the case. Please be cautious however as squib loads can be very dangerous in shotguns or rifles for that matter. All the best. Regards Grandpamac.
