It's free. It's much more in-depth on several subjects.

I'd highly recommend that ALL new casters read it.

The chance that you'd be able to get the powder that Remington uses is very low. Reloaders buy canister powder that is blended for lot to lot consistency. Places like Remington use data powder. For each batch of powder they have to work up their own data. The batches have more variation than caniste...

Are you sure they are 210 gr? I see a 220 gr round nose ballistic tip.

Umm...have ya bothered to even do a search? Maybe for Nosler load data?

Or is that too hard?

Maybe you could plunk the rounds in your barrel? Maybe run them through your magazine?

Have you looked at the data provided by Shooter's World and Western?

Have you bothered to look at the sticky posts here?

If you're going to switch from jacketed to cast, be sure to get the copper out of the bore.

Above that you start to have problems. With a 1/8" twist that would limit you to a velocity of around 1550 fps. At t...

Half lino half pure isn't soft.

My HK 91 eats the same bullets all day long.

Powder can't vaporize the base of the bullet. That's simple physics.

I'm not rich. I didn't know it was a prerequisite to being on this forum. I'm a 100% P&T Veteran. I live on a fixed income. I have a certain amount of "play" money I can spend every month. I'm sure there are people here that have spent more on a BCG than I have in my build. It's an Anderson lower, w...
