Sorry Tony didn't know the background to you're problem. Holy Cr@p I bet you were miffed :mad: will the RFD not replace it for you? Now that I really look at you'r initial question I see my answer didn't that much so I spent a little while looking around the web. Now, I can reload but internal balis...

Hi Tony, Not exactly what you asked but my .204 had a 26" barrel which I had reduced to 23" re-crowned & threaded for a can, accuacy not affected at all just the point of impact changed but a quick zero session sorted that out. I load 39gr SBK, 25.2 gr RE-10x @2.307" COAL with win...

I use a My Weigh Gem Pro 500, very easy to read & accuate cost here in the UK £167.00 including postage. Did have the small RCBS model but during loading the readings would vary & the return to zero was very hit & miss. http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee501/markc10/Mag%20conversion/C...

Thanks for the help, it worked a treat with 25.2gr @ 2.300" COAL.



Will try it over a longer distance next, if only all things in life improved that much after adding .1 of anything!

Thanks for the advice the cases are in the tumbler cleaning as I type, then I'll have to wait until the wind drops before I head to the quarry to test them I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi Guy's, The story (short version honest), my Rem 700 VSSF II with 26" barrel would not shoot factory ammunition of any weight under 1", so I started reloading my own with lot's of help from this site & ended up with 25.1gr RE-10x, 39gr SBK @ 2.30" COAL which grouped .385 @ 100yd...
