Hovis, oooookkk. If your happy, I'm happy. I simply followed the recommendation of the manufacturer (jacketed only). No lead mess. No worry. My pistol sees only jacketed or copper coated. I only know what I have learned thru research on this subject, and what you have just told me. Can...

Yes sir. And that was my contention for a long time, when trying to explain to a maker of lead bullets friend of mine, who wanted me to use his lead bullets extensively in my D.E. Then i heard that the velocity of the hot gases would mostly keep the gas port clean. And being that it is...

having a desert eagle with polygonal rifling, in searching for the reason against lead bullet usage, i have heard that lead deposits lead to increased pressures.

Dennis thank you dennis, for posting. you are quite correct in your analysis.

to do this is extemely stupid, and extremely dangerous. of course, this would not be recommended either, as the cartridges are not close in their size comparison. common sense and discretion need to prevail. however, it might illustrate the difficulty in producing a problem, using this...

boyd allen, thank you for the reply. and clarification. i always enjoy reading your posts when i see them. the blowing forward of undersized cases shows the value of the belted magnum. it also demonstrates, for those that are noticing, the flexibility of the belted case. i feel more safe...

boyd allen, belted magnum, another pro; "Belts allow a wildcatter to fire form case shapes that would be much more difficult without the belt". thank you for the crumb. i don't know what you are proclaiming in your first paragraph, about short chambered, or datum lines. is that pertaining...

jay, idaho, not so fast please. your example and presented case problem might indeed be fact. but there is probably other problems associated with what happened there. i would like to read the article, for sure. using the 7rm in the wea chamber might present a problem because of it's...

i like the belted round. i think it has more benefits than what it is normally given credit for. i will give one good example. perhaps others will chime in, and we can end up with a complete list of pros and cons. belted magnum; one big benefit that stands out, is it's ability to chamber...

SMOOTH.....! this is the same thing i did with my .380 acp to shoot larger bullets, let's see..., .355" bullets, .360" groove, ...what to do? enlarge the chamber to shoot larger dia bullets, worked to a point, but eventually bullet pull gets in the way. didn't hurt to try. a little better...

my two bolts measure 0.443" and 0.441". the way i like to look at it is from a "factor of safety" standpoint. in a m700, i am comfortable with a factor of safety of about 4/1, bolt lug strength to bolt thrust. as in standard magnum thrust. the short fat cartridges don't provide for this...

YES! sling studs. the first thing to realize. and utilizing follow thru can help you with trigger squeeze, and calling your shots, which helps to negate the effects of the heavy kickers.

i like 4mesh's. let's see; energy, distance, time, 300 wm, yep, i think he's onto it.

if i were trying to decide the best method, i would chose SBH'S method first, because he mentioned 300 win mag, and we all know that that is the finest cartridge in north america, and alot of the world. second best method would go to 4MESH, because he obviously has an honest handle on it. he...

larry, the thing that drew my attention was in post #77, when tod mentioned a length of 2.840", which is 0.020" over max length for the brass. this is something that should have been noticed much sooner. i don't know the length of his chamber, but he could be deforming the brass because of it...

the reason i ask, is because there seems to be the possibility that you are not quite up to speed on the terminology and perhaps dimensions of the cartridge case. now, i don't mean to challenge you or cause you any embarrassment in my so asking. we all are here to help as much as we can. that...

tod, do you own a reloading manual?

It seems to me if the horsepower were determinable as associated with a rifle/cartridge combination, that there would be two horsepowers that you would be looking at. The first would be the indicated or calculated amount within the barrel (I guess you could say as related to internal...

So Tod, what does this mean? Does it mean that you are experiencing no problem at the belt/web area, and that your die is not up to the task at the shoulder/neck?

didn't post #47 cover this? it would seem that your chamber is sized shorter than your die. or would we say, your die is longer than your chamber?
