Has anyone got a starting point and a max charge for RL-10X 35 berger using a CCI 400 primer?? Thankyou for the imput Ulen MN. P.S the reason I am using CCI 400 primers is they are left over from messing around with my muzzle loader tried them instead of a 204 to see if there was a difference so I h...

Silverfox I thought about that after I did all the changes then it was to late but thankyou for reminding me to do one thing at a time to find what improve accuracy and what dont do anything. Funny thing about this hand loading the more accurate I get the more confidence I get in my shooting ability...

I had to go to the shop yesterday so I brought the 204 and some bullets that I had just hand loaded after making a couple of changes to them. the top target was shot on 12-11-2007 using 26.2gn of RL-10X and a BR-4 primer and a 32 honady v max coal was 2.260 they chronographed at 3899 average on 5 sh...

How important is it to uniform your primer pockets? I have done 40 cases so far using a RCBS primer pocket tool but have not hand loaded any of them yet to see if there is a difference. What are you guys using for this step or do alot of you skip this part? I have found that it is hard on the hand h...

This brass is factory loaded for the first firing and hand loaded for the second firing I also have found that the mock bullet and a dummy round have a big difference in length when messuring chamber length to the lands and grooves ( Dummy round messures 2.68 and RCBS mock round messures 1.93 using ...
