I have a 29.5 inch barrell (300NM) with 1in8twist. Planning on using rs76. Anyone have some advice on starting load using 220gr SMKs. I have a choice of rs76 or 80. Which would work better please or is it a case of try both?

Ideally I would want speeds north of 3000fps with my target load

 

 

Thanks 

How did you get on with the 220 SMK’s. Putting in my order for a 300 NM at the end of the month.. Currently buying all the necessary reloading equipment for it.. brass and bullets included. Everything but the powder as this will be the one thing that I won’t buy in bulk, trying first N170 or N165 as I already have a tub of this..

What die sets are you all using? I don’t have a neck turner..

I’m guessing this sold…

Thanks for the reply… I’ve been fine with my Vortex’s on my T3 Supervarmints, but bought aT3x TacA1 and the fore end bottoms out on the scope..

Thanks again

I’m guessing these sold or you part exchanged…

Hi,

Are the mounts still available?

DaveT was it a 3pin UK plug, or the USA 2 pin?

I bought a 3 pin one off eBay years ago as was fed up with the original 2 pin plug.. just check the voltage and outputs are the same..

I'll assume the one with the tray was mine

 

Arrived last week (delivered to the wrong house so thanks DPD!!)

Set it up with a couple of minor problems, the disks wouldn't index at the correct position above the case rotation point. Simple enough to sort, removed the disks (and cut my finger on a sharp edge) and loosened off the collar it sits on, moved it a bit further around the motor shaft and all sorted.

As I said, minor point and given the whole thing was only £170 including shipping from Bulgaria it's excellent value

Onto the good bit

To be honest there's nothing to report!! it does exactly what it's supposed to do, set the time to 8 seconds (after using Tempilaq to test) and away we went. 300 cases later job done perfectly

I've uploaded a small video here, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/103575967/FBUK/High%20Res.mp4

 

I need a better gas torch and have ordered one of the Clarke torches. Even using the "El Cheapo" one I was able to adjust my torch right down and anneal all of my 300aac cases, nice job

A great video! Oh so tempted to acquire one... Regarding calibres, I take it .223 & .204 will fit the same cassette as will .260 Remington & .308?

A perfect addition to my reloading gear.
