   Greetings Thatguy, I had a scratch through an old pile of Handloader magazines and turned up an article on the 454 in 1994. The Author made 2 recommendations. First not to reduce 296 loads below...

   Greetings Phil, Mine is the standard Lee Auto Prime that I bought 20 years or so back. It's worked pretty well but with most things there is a knack. I only put 10 primers in at a time, anvil side...

   Greetings Phil, I agree that there is minimal danger if a primer goes off, especially if you keep your head out of the line of fire. I wrote up my use of a Lee Loader in our NZDA Branch magazine a...

   Thanks for that Phil, Increasing levels of decrepitude has limited my hunting to token efforts. I am also fully retired so the time taken to produce loaded rounds comes a distant second to the...

   Greetings All, I can thoroughly recommend the hand primer seater. It's all I use these days. I have some Ohuas (later RCBS) beam balance scales, that I bought in the 1970's, and some RCBS electronic...

   Greetings Again, Had a quick scratch around. I see that Hodgdon specifies Winchester small rifle primers. Ball powders like 296 are a bit hard to ignite and the Winchester primers are formulated for...

   Greetings, From memory 296 should not be used in reduced loads and does need a hotter primer. The soot is due to pressures being too low. This can be dangerous. Will do a bit of digging. Regards...

    Greetings Bos, From your above reply I assume that you have the standard 6.5-06 chamber rather than an improved version. If this is the case then sizing the neck to to 6.5 mm and trimming to the...

    Greetings Phil, .308 and .223 rifles have lived in my rifle cupboard for the last 40 years, something that is unlikely to change. Had I procrastinated a little longer my latest .223 may have become...

    Greetings Phil, I have read that the .243 Baikal has a twist of 1 in 10 and would be surprised if it was any slower than 1 in 12. Either of these twists should stabilise the 58 grain Vmax. A couple...

    Greetings All, To me the two cartridges are complementary rather than competitors. There is a considerable overlap between them but each has an edge for some things. The .223 is a great target and...
