I've used 46 grains of RL22 in my M38 behind the 140 Hornady. Good accuracy and only minimal expansion measured near the casehead. Use Laupa brass if you can get it.Nels

I really like the look of the core lock bullets. They appear to have about the same bearing surface as the 160 hornady's that I've played with. If the bearing surface differs, I don't think it's by a...

Has anyone tried H1000? I've been using H4350 in my 96 swedes for the past couple years and have had great results. I have also tried H4831 which I like. Now I am looking for an even slower burning...

Scriptoe, I thought they had dropped H1000, but I just went on line and it's still there. Hodgdon has really changed the whole scenario, having bought IMR, and I just discovered this week that they...

Well, with 50bmg a man could always start with about an 80 percent full case and use a chrony to keep an eye on bullet speeds. Without being able to measure actual barrel pressure all you can do is...

I'll be keeping an eye on all the different powders that you guys are talking over. I have some loads in RL 19 that I put together Just to try. I used RL 19 for the highly scientific rational that it...

Another reason I'm interested in 50bmg is that it can be found in 10 pound cans at gun shows and taken from demilled 50bmg military rounds. And usually for a pretty good deal. If I found it to be a...

Scriptoe, I see you expressed a need for a 96 stock in the Swede forum. Are you still looking? I have one, but no forearm, if you are interested. It's a #369xxx which would make it 1915, and beech,...

I load 47.5 gr of Reloader 22 in Lapua brass with GM210M primers, using the Sierra 140gr HPBT, 142 SMK, and the Lapua 139 Scenar. That's giving me about 2665 fps. No pressure signs or primer...
