How are you controlling neck tension? What I see in those groups (very good, by the way)....is neck tension is raising it's head.....hence, the occasional flyer. Thanks acloco. I do not anneal my brass and I can tell a difference when I'm seating my bullets. What is the best way to control neck ten...

Luckily I have around 8,000 Rem 7 1/2,CCI BR4,and CCI 450. It's crazy the prices people are asking for them and even crazier the prices people are willing to pay.

Immortal, I have a question, Do you weigh each charge on a Beam Balance Scale or are you using an Electronic Scale? I hope you are using a Beam Balance Scale as it will allow for much tighter groups than an Electronic Dispenser / Scale combo. I have both but I cannot rely on the Electronic one to b...

I agree with Glen, you need to be able to repeat those tight groups. Also, to allow for varances, I would check the loads with a +/- .1 grain. In other words, if 27.2 grains is the load that repeats, check the grouping @ 27.1 & 27.3 grains to make sure the group stays tight. Many times, a .1 gr...

Thanks for the replies guys.I'm also leaning towards the IMR loads. I have some Reloader 10 and will give it a try. My Sabre 204 did not like Reloader at all.

I will keep you guys posted.

Glad we don't have to deal with that in WV. At least not yet.

That would suck!!

Well guys I finally got some loads worked up for my Savage LRPV and so far it looks real promising. All loads were with 39gr. Sierra BK's,CCI 450 primers. COL is 2.885 for all loads. Three different powders,varying powder charges. I was also able to chrony them also. All were shot at 100 yard target...

I would give the 32gr. Sierra Blitz Kings a try.

I own three 204's and did not have a problem getting. Probably because they were impulse buys. Wasn't really looking for one but figured what the heck when I found them for sale.

Thanks guys.It has been windy as all get out here the last week and a half so I have been spending time at the reloading bench loading for my prairie dog shoot come June in Wyoming.

So far my favorite load for my Sabre Defence 204 upper has to be 27.4gr. of Benchmark pushing a 32gr. Sierra B/K. Using Remington 7 1/2's. Tried Reloader 10x but could not get better than a 1" group at 100 yards. All 5 shot groups.The pic of 27.4gr. has one shot low left.That was my cold bore s...
