I developed a powder profile for SR4759 several years ago. As I recall, I modified the data on an existing powder until the results matched chrono data. Here is a screenshot for whatever it may be...

I made a 32-20 barrel for a Rem 25 from an Enfield barrel. It shoots fine. I did have to reduce the diameter of the reamer pilot. I forget the details, but the bore diameter of the 303 is slightly...
FWIW. For 4227, Quickload estimates approximately a 65% burn in those ctgs in a 6" barrel and approx a 8O% burn in a 24 inch barrel.

Is this the line for Lee Pro 1000 presses that are being thrown away? If it is, I'll take 3. TIA

I have an old style (tall blue) DD500X. Works great. Like someone else said, the trick is to touch up the bits every time ( or nearly every time) you use them. It will spoil you.

I cant figure out how we can get bananas from South America for 69 cents per pound.
Oh, and I now go to Grafs first. Midway just isnt the same company it used to be.

Has anyone here used pressure tracing equipment to assess the effects of fillers?

In working with the various cartridges of 30-30 heritage, I have come to realize that the limitation on these cartridges is the thickness (thin-ness) of the case wall at the web. If you cut cases in...

I like 340s. They shoot and carry at least as good as they are ugly.
Oh, and mine likes Walmart ammo.

For those of you with newer Rossi 92 45LCs....Are the chambers still oversized? I have an older presafety version (SRC model, round barrel, blackish stock finish). Mild loads have quite a lot of...

Some benchrest shooters and other competitors remove the bolt release to make it more convenient to remove the bolt from the action.

For a given pressure, the maximum obtainable velocity will increase as powder burn rate decreases, up to H110/W296, and 2400 isn't far behind. Decrease burning rate any further and maximum...

I spin them in my bare fingers (held at the cool end of course) for a couple of quick rotations in a propane torch flame. Then drop them in a (dry) pan to air cool. My fingers quickly tell me...
IMR PB is a good powder if you want a little more bulk. Burn rate is in the Unique ballpark. Measures as well as H110, etc. Hodgdon.com lists loads for the 45 Colt.

Checking up on this thread after a month.
I too am surprised at those that say the 25-20 cases are prone to problems. I have several 25-20s and none are hard on cases if the dies are set up...
Whew! The old Army Special proved plenty strong. This weekend, I had an unexpected hot load. The case setback hard against the frame and the primer blew extruding a tit into the firing pin hole...

Agreed. The least inexpensive and most reliable solution would be to run a 240v circuit from your breaker box (as you would if you were running any other 240v device like a drier, oven, water...

That would be my guess. I worked with a guy who was a logistics officer with the Army Reserve. He always had lots of ammo and MREs. Something about not being able to turn it back in....
Anyone know how this tool works?
