Do yourself a favor cycle the cases through the 30 30, punch out the primers and start over. It will be a one hour, three doller learning experience.

My 44 spcl loads have been stringing vertically by 2 to 3 inches. I may have crimped too much? 1/2 turn. Any other ideas? Oh we are using 8 gr of Power Pistol powder and 240 gr cast & jacketed...
So during a week moment last fall I bought a couple of boxes of Sierra 100 grain boat tail hollow point bullets. I loaded some at 2.743 O.A.L. over 44.0 grains of IMR4064. This load yielded 2865 fps...
My alloy mix tests at 14-15 bhn. With this alloy i've fired 30-30's that chrono @ 21-22 K fps, about the same fps that i'm planning on for the 223. I believe that sealing the bore is of prime...
The Lyman 49th HI end is 11.5 for 2400 with the Lyman 55 gr. FN bullet of course.
Good to know that you got a little extra.
Now to the visual sort "be very picky" Can you elaberate on "picky" I...
Like I said I think that the 7-08 is a great cartridge & rifle combo and Ballistic tips are wicked killers. You just have to be mindfull of shot placement. By the the way we call our model 7 "The...
Jeezes! I thought the 'culling of stupidity' comment was kind of cruel. With 30 yrs of reloading my advice is to buy as many bullet manufactures reloading manuals as you can afford and consult them...
Thanks for the input Paul. I've bit the bullet and loaded up 100 test fire loads with various charges of 2400 powder, CCI primers and seating depths of .005, .010 & .020 off the rifle lands. We'll...
Thanks for the info.
I did use a dial caliper so I will try my mikes too.
The bullets cast at a tad over .225 so thats what I sluged with.
I also thinking of trying a reduced load of H335, but...
Hello to all!
As of 10pm 8-13-11 I was a neube on this sight.
I've been reloading for 30 years and casting bullets my own bullets for at least 3 years.
I have a 223 rem heavy 26" 1:12 twist...
I have the same feeling about Unique, its dirty.
I have switched to using Hodgdon "Titegroup" for my light 9mm & 45 acp loads
Its a faster burning powder that is not supposed to be position...

Seriously!
The 7mm-08 is a best kept secret.
It will kill deer just as fast as anything else out there, and using the Nosler 140 Balistic Tip in front of 42.0 grains of Varget powder I get 2670 FPS...
