Re: calhoon bullets

I have a Kevlar CZ .204 that shoots his 33 grain bullets great. The bullets have a silver electorplated coating on them (not WS2) that seems to keep copper/lead fouling way down. I think you have to see what your gun likes. A lot has to do with your barrel's harmonics.

Re: H4895 & 40 gr NBT

Keep us informed, I am very interested. I have loaded 40 grain Nosler with Varget for both my Browning Abolt and my CZ Kevlar in .204.

Re: Reloading for variouse temps.

I would shoot a few rounds to check my scope and make sure my point of impact hasn't changed. If it hasn't then there is no good reason to change the powder charge. Good Luck and be Safe!

Re: Good news for Tikka fans

I have a Tikka in the Stainless .223 and it is a tack driver and the bolt is smoother than one of my custom Remmy and this at a third of the price. Very impressed!

Re: Newb needs to know where to start with How-to, equip, etc.

Get " The ABC's of Reloading" by Bill Chevalier and two or three good Reloading Manual like Sierra Bullets, Nosler, Speer would be my pick ( I favor the bullet manufactures over reloading companies, but just my preference). Lyman, RCBS, Lee, Hogdon Powders and other also have very good inf...

Why not add?

Graf & Son since, They flat fee Shipping, Handling and Insurance for $3.95 on any order?
Just a thought, I appreciate what you are doing and this could get out of hand with too many enteries.
