      Need reloading Data with Benchmark powder

      I too am a meat hunter,... but even if you wind up with "tag soup" at the journey's end the outdoor experience in that type of atmosphere with a couple of huntin' bud's makes the the adventure worthwhile. And as far as the firepower goes many a elk have been taken with a .270 Sure a large...

      Need reloading Data with Benchmark powder

      Ahhhh,... Just one of the positive aspects of being a re-loader. You get to shoot more,... and more often! :): ;) I enjoy my bench-time. :yesway:

      Need reloading Data with Benchmark powder

      DTKW,... here's just a couple of pic's pf some of the terrain out there. The first picture is from the top end looking down at what your seeing in the second picture. This was out in the Deadline Ridge / Absaroka Ridge areas of Wyoming in the Bridger National Forest area Northwest of the small...

      Need reloading Data with Benchmark powder

      Kludge,... I'm going to have to disagree with your comment regarding only loading 1 round of each powder charge. The simple reason being minor variances that can contribute to a false read of the load. Barrel temperatures, barrel fowling, load inconsistency, (IE: minor seating differences, case...

      Need reloading Data with Benchmark powder

      Nope,... didn't get to punch my tag. :dunno: We did get into them several times but elk can move when they want to,..miles at a time. The only way you can make up for lost time in tracking them is if they decide to bed down and you move on their tracks while they are doing so. I was in...

      Need reloading Data with Benchmark powder

      Glad to hear things are working well,.. :) I apologize if it seems that I've been ignoring your comments to me,.. but I have just returned last night from a months hunting in the hills of Wyoming for elk. I'm still trying to get caught up with all the back logged emails. :ugh:
    7. 7mm Magnum

      Need reloading Data with Benchmark powder

      If it were ME,... I'd start out at the 21.0 grain amount and work up to the 22.6 grains in .2 grain increments for 2 reasons. 1. This is an untested load combination in your rifle. 2. You could be walking right past a really SWEET load by starting so high up the scale. Just my...

      Need reloading Data with Benchmark powder

      dtkw,... I have a reloading software / ballistics software program and it does list the 62 grain Speer FMJ projectile in its list of various projectiles. I ran your proposed recipe through it and I need to emphasize that you should NOT exceed a powder charge of 22.6 grains of the Benchmark...

      Best progressive pistol reloader?

      I own, and have operated my Dillon RL550B since the late 80's and highly recommend it. While it is a manual indexing machine it in my honest opinion can't be beat as far as price and quality verses the speed of an auto indexing machine. I almost purchased the 650 but after figuring out the price...

      WGN Radio Debate: REPEAL the 2nd Amendment!

      I'LL KEEP MY MONEY, MY GUNS, AND MY FREEDOM,... YOU CAN KEEP THE "CHANGE !!!" I had a couple hundred of the above slogan made into bumper sticker for a bunch of fellow members of a different sportsmans club website. I was going to post a picture of the sticker but apparently I need to wait for...
