Thanks That all confirms what I have read over the years. But some of those cans have sat on the shelf for 15 years or so. And with all the brains on here thought I would ask.

Yes I looked up your gun library and seen the Benelli. Looks to pretty to hunt with. but you should be fine that action im sure is smoother than the browning.I have allways like the 150 grain pushed by 59.grs. of imr 4350 at 3000 fps. I do use the accubond because I have had some lesser bullets blow up.

Mike I shoot  A browning BAR In 30-06 im Guesing you do to cause its the only one I know that is chambered for the 300 win. But I have never crimped My cases you can for A little extra Piece of mind but not necesary At least I have never had A problem. And A short base die just holds A little tighter tollarence Not A bad idea for the browning if thats what your shooting but again not necesary. Most importain is to chamber every case after reloading to make sure it will cycle properly  and that includes Putting them in the clip. seat the bullet deep enough to make sure they fit into the clip. but every manual should have that oal max length in it.

A little Harris pole on what do you feel is A safe Shelf life for All Rifle Powders and Primers kept at room temp. say 70 deg. or so. I have many powders used years ago and just wondering if there still good to use.
Thank You

Your right there as always. They say the .30 cal is Americas choice and it shows. The only loads I have ever seen for the 358 STA was in nosler #5 with 225 and 250 gr. bullets I think about A 270 or 275 would be optimum for it. But whose going to make it for such A small following.

« on: November 07, 2011, 07:10:58 PM »
I would love to see Weatherby bring back the 224 even for A limited run. My boss offered me his when I went to wyoming pronghorn hunting to thin out some prarrie dogs. And even thru in 3 boxes of ammo. I was happy to bring it along and I got A chance to shoot it but the scope was off and my freind was shooting video of me and was yelling in A loud clear Voice MISSED   MISSED AGAIN it was pretty humbling. But it was A gorgeous rifle topped with A leupold 4-12x40 AO I would love to have one just like it. In fact im going to watch that old tape right now if I can get it put on CD I will post it For A laugh.

Well Put Ron. I know im bgetting off topic here. But I think the lack of bullets is holding back The 358 STA That Cartridge bridges the gap between .338 & .375 and its based on the same 8mm mag case. And would rule the roost in Alaska. But again imnot about to turn in my 340 & 375 shust to pick one up. Fun to talk about thou.

Yes I rember when remington did that to the 280 and they allso under powered the 8mm Rem. Mag another sweet cartridge that has now gone by the way side. One reason that Weatherby mite not have jumped on the short mag band wagon is if im not mistaken All short mags are beltless and Weatherby has become synonimis with  the belt I mean they even put it on the 224 but it sure looked cool. lol

Well as far as no harm maybe not to the gun nuts on this site.But there are plenty of people who are not like us and there are thoudands of cases of them loading the wrong case in the wrong rifle. thats why rem. had to change the name of the 7mm express back to 280 to many cases of it being loaded in the 7mm mag. and so on. But I agree where would we be with out the Wildcaters AKA Roy Weatherby.

Hi Ron Was able to get A lb. of Tac I was happy to find it at Williams because there were only 4 places in the state that were sapost to carry it and they were not one of them. But of course I bought small mag. cci primers getting old didnt see the little red magnum above the big white small rifle.But anyway im eager to work up A couple of loads for the primer / powder test.
