Ricochet,
I don't imagine it would be much fun getting THOSE two mixed up, 'specially if you use 860 data for 680.

A few years ago, the Gibbs Rifle Company bought a boatload of SMLEs and had the actions refurbished. The actions were then sent to Navy Arms where the barrels were installed. .303, .308 and .45-70...

I'm really surprised at the number of votes for the venerable old '06. It has always been my favorite all around rifle caliber based on versatility, but I never thought there would be so many that...

Well, so far, the .30 caliber seems to be the favorite. Thank you all for your responses.

Thank you, Lord! Started last night about midnight and we're getting a good, steady fall. No water running in the dry washes yet, but it's collecting in the swale in front of the house and in the low...

Well, Sir, since y'all are willing to help, I'll take the help.
I own rifles in the following calibers:
.223
.270
7.5 Swiss (purchase pending)
.30-06
.303
8 MM
.45-70

Me thinks I might rethink this. Not too keen on blowing powder down the barrel. IMHO, the powder should burn, not act as a self appointed filler.
Nevertheless, thank y'all for the info. I'm...

Coupla years back, I loaded up a box or two of .303s using WC860. Packed it up and went to bed. Got up the next morning, fixed my coffee and sat down at the computer to check the weather. In my early...

I got some more work done on the indoor/outdoor range. I got 5 old tires and they are bolted together and packed full of fiberglass insulation. I have the bundle hanging in place by means of a chain...

Personally, I think he needs to flare the case mouth just a tad. I think shaving boolits shows ingnorance of the art.

Well, that pretty much tears it. I'm gonna have a K-31, regardless. Oh, and Frank, I have 1 small advantage you don't; I ain't in Loosiana. :-)

In the movie "True Grit", speaking of the bad guy, John Wayne said "You can beat him with a stick, you can make him eat sand out of the road, you can shoot him in the foot and I'll hold him for ya',...

Bigscot,
Brother, I truly hope your rifle is a sweet one. I had a real bad time w/ Winchester several years ago over one of them puppies. No matter what I fed it, I couldn't make it hit the broad...

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a powder I could work with. If my tax returns provide enough for toys, I might place an order for some along with some other types.

I just spent the last hour going through various sites looking for/at surplus ammo, brass, dies, etc. for the 7.5 Swiss. I can tell you one thing for sure and certain; When I go to the gunshop to...

OK, guys, sure do apreciate all the feedback. By the way, the masking tape trick is a new one for me. Always like learning new tricks.

OK, teach me something here. I just came from Graf's site and the onliest 7.5 X 55 brass I see is made by Norma and I'd have to take out a second mortgage to buy it. So where on the site is this...

Tell me about IMR 5010 powder.
Is it faster or slower than 7383?
Is it bulkier or finer?
is it compression sensitive?
Can it be used in straightwall and bottleneck cases?

Thanks,
IMR
