Weatherby Factory Ammo
My experience, some years ago, was that 300 Wby factory ammo chronographed at around 3150 f/s with 180s from Mark Vs with 26 inch barrels. The 378 Wby at 3070 f/s with 270 grain factory ammo and from Mark Vs with 26 inch barrels. 300 grain ammo was at around 2850 f/s. As to accuracy my general...- Mike375

Which caliber for cast bullets? Not just for cast bullet shooters..Survival question
Ken, My cast bullet experience is limited to a 308 and about 15 years ago. I cast bullets of about 130 grains. Used the Lee gas check moulds, Hornady gas checks and RCBS sizer and lubricator. Tried a few Lee moulds (same mould as to bullet weight etc.) and different moulds gave different...- Mike375

Of the calibers available in bolt actions (sorry 45/70 fans)which one would you pick if you had do all of your shooting with cast bullets and why would you pick the caliber. So anyone who would have selected 45/70 or similar, think of a replacement. Mike- Mike375

BCat, nothing on political...all gun ownership problems must have finished.
Bcat, Where should the story go. The political forum is way down the bottom of the page.......... and a real grave yard. No wonder the antis get a real boost of hormones when they see some of these boards. If you were anti you could use some of these boards as a motivational exercise for your...- Mike375

Starting to reload
hntrjohn, The story on belted magnums concerns case life. Because the case can headpace on the belt rather than the case shoulder, sometimes the dimensions of the chamber are longer than they need be. If the chamber of a 270 was too long then the case would go in too far. There are two things...- Mike375

Starting to reload
hntrjohn, I am not sure what you mean by your question. Does an extra set of dies mean you would reload for both calibers? If you are reloading for economy and for some reason can only reload for one of the calibers, then reloading for the 7mm Rem will give the best economic return. The...- Mike375
