20 rounds of 8x56r with 205gr lee boolits coated in Kawasaki green using H414 powder

 

[303brt]

Formed 101 9.3x62 from my stash of 30-06 brass. Waiting for a trim body to trim and load.

so, to do this you put a small amount of powder in, and put a wax plug in it and fire it in the rifle?

Or?

I ask because I have a 9.3x62 rifle and wonder one day if I will be able to get brass. I know I can always find -06

 

[lpel]

100 Lee 7/8 oz slugs for 3 gun practice and general plinking!

 

[vagrantviking]

50 rounds of 45acp to try out the D800 I recently acquired.

It's true that it's a little challenging to meter but not insurmountable.

I think you can use cream of wheat as well, just gotta clean your barrel very well.

Actually JR, 9.3X62 is on the upswing in popularity in Canada. Tradex sells Privi in 9.3X62 and seem to have it most times. I made a bunch from Rem 30-06 then I bought 100 Rem 35 Whelen and bumped them up..........then I found 100 Graf cases (I've heard these are custom headstamped Privi) at WSS a few years back and bought them.
I doubt you'll have any problem finding brass for a few years in Canada, more rifles currently being produced in this cartridge than there has been for many, many years.

Finally got out to shoot some 110gr TTSX I had loaded up a while back in 7mm over 70gr of H4831...turned in some excellent groups so loaded a whole bunch of them up.

do those bullets have a steel penetrator core similar to the M855A1 cartridge?

 

[260SnowBird]

Today was seating depth test loading day with Nosler 130 RDFs in my 260, hopefully soon I'll have a day to head out and see what flies best,

No, they are plain ol' FMJ bullets... bought them from Henry at Budget Shoot Supply.

 

[Slamfire]

.458 Lott with 300gr TSX and 300gr HP. Same POI at 100 meters. Time to re-check zero.

Muzzle speed limited to 2700 fps. Or HP's will disintegrate in flight. HP's are good for practice (off hand of course).

.458 Lott custom Sako AV with Leupold VX-3 1.5-5x20mm

 

[TrevorJ]

Spent the afternoon and resized/decapped 50 300WM PRVI brass.
Loaded them up with H4831SC, cci 250 primers. Last time out was a bit too windy for me to tell what load grouped best, so I loaded up a bunch more. Most of the brass has been fired 3 times, and only neck sized.
10 x 69.7gr
10 x 69.8gr
10 x 69.9gr
10 x 70 gr
5 x 70.1gr
5 x 69.8gr (new powder lot, want to verify the velocity/accuracy compared to the last lot)

Hope to shoot over (hopefully not at) my new-to-me-chrony. Sat for 29 years, new in box, in a closet. A little wizardry and it seems to be back to life.
