I get it... But why spend $125 on a special die when you already have the sizing die at your bench and all you need to do is remove the decapping stem??

They are both single shots but the seating die doesn't take out the case mouth flare if you cannot roll crimp into the cannelure. As such the loaded round doesn't fall into the chamber. The case rim is actually a few tenths from going flush in the chamber. As far as I know, the Lee Factory Crimp...

I don't like to drop that far down on a powder charge without some kind of wad/filler as you can get wild pressure swings based on how the powder column ignites. While my Ruger No1 would handle that issue, with the TC Encore you could have a barrel blow up on you.

In an interesting twist (reloading master class): if you use bullets that aren't designed for your cartridge. IE: Using 50-110 bullets for a 500Nitro Express. The cannelure doesn't line up for crimping. Additionally, the seater die is designed for a roll crimp for the cannelure vice a tapered...

I have 2 - 500 Nitro Express rifles, a custom Ruger No1 and a TC Encore. The TC Encore needs a lighter recoiling round then factory ammo as it comes in at a mere 8lbs and that is vicious with full throttle ammo. I'm playing with some 500gr Woodleigh FP, designed for 50Alaskan or 50-110Win. I...

I'm even less help. I bought a 375 Ruger and had the barrel bored out to 0.423 to make a 404 Ruger. Get what you want and what your wallet supports. 375Ruger ammo and brass, much easier to find. Easier to load down in bullet weight, 250gr for large North American game or go up to 350gr for...

I have a custom Browning A-Bolt in 458Lott. I had a surplus of 458Win Mag brass and have done exactly what you are asking. This has worked extremely well with North Fork SS Bullets as the bullet itself is a little longer by its design of a solid copper shank. I have shot a bunch of 450gr in the...

1 tin of Imperial Size Die Wax goes a longgggg way. Last one lasted well over 5yrs. That's the best sizing lube I've found. A little goes a long way and I've never (knock on wood) stuck a case yet, using it.

To save time in the future.. Setting up your die: fully remove the size button stem. Screw the die into your press and leave a full turn (360°) from touching the shell holder. Lube a once fired (from your rifle) case and set into the shell holder. Run the ram up fully. Take your case and check...

It's been an ongoing wait...Raven Rock has a very large shipment of 404J Norma brass coming. I think they ordered special run quantity. It was supposed to be here in mid-August. I reached out to them mid-Nov and they said it's still coming, they were hopeful it would be here before the year was...

MidSouthShootersSupply(dot)com has Winchester Large Rifle Winchester Large Rifle MAGNUM In-Stock

When I did expansion testing on Hawk Bullets in my 404J, every single bullet separated the jacket from the core. When I contacted their engineer, he blamed it on yaw. Either via bullet alignment to the bore as part of my reloading methods or not enough twist rate. My expansion test is dry...

Superb scope, ideal reticle, great price! Good luck with the sale.

I'm a Swarovski (1st) and Leupold (2nd) for rifle scopes. When I find a Z6 (Z6i) at a good price, it's go time. Recently snagged a Z5i and equally pleased. I will NEVER...not ever again own a Minox (Blaser Corp is parent). Have had issues with 2 out of 3 of their scopes. Their warranty service...

MidSouthShootersSupply(dot)com has Remington Large Rifle and Large Rifle Magnum primers (In Stock)

Precisionreloading(dot)com has ADG 375Rum brass in stock. $117/50

BrunoShooters has Remington 9 1/2 (Large Rifle) AND 9 1/2M (Large Rifle Magnum) primers in stock. Quite a few of each!!!

MidSouthShootersSupply has Alliant Powders in Stock: Reloder 7, 10x, 15, 15.5, 16, 19, and 25 as well as Power Pro 2000.

PrecisionReloading(dot)com just received a huge shipment of Alliant Powder. Rdlr7, 10, 15, 15.5, 16, 19, and 25. PwrPro2000 They have advised due to Nitrocelulous shortages they don't expect to ship more pwder for a while.

They're sold out now. (Rem LRMag primers at Midway USA)

Looks so... custom shop not even listed on their website now. Wonder if they'd just swap the reticle in the repair shop? The illuminated B&C is still listed as available on the site.

Leupold Custom shop. But you pay full MSRP.

My mistake - retained weight was 336.1gr

I'll dig through my expansion test photos. I have a 400gr Woodleigh SN, loaded to 2160fps muzzle velocity. Did an expansion test at 50yds. Test was dry magazine, pine 2x4, 5 water jugs to stop. (Had 3 more water jugs just in case - to capture the bullet.) Memory serves it came out at 360gr+/-...

No.. That's a ridiculous asking price. There are far better options at that price point.

Going to run these in my 325WSM (Montana Rifle Co X2) let's see if we can find a nice Elk/Moose load.

I'll take them! PM Sent

MidwayUSA just got in Remington 9 1/2M (Large Rifle MAGNUM) Primers. $120+$23Hazmat and limit (1) brick per order. Steep but if you really need them...

Just looked again 1# and 5# shows available and allowed me to add to my cart.

PowderVally(dot)com got a shipment in from Alliant. Reloder 7, 10, 15, 16, 19, and 22

A-Frame 0.423 - 400gr, 0.458 - 450gr.

I have a Swarovski Z6 EE 1-6×24 on my custom bolt and Nikon Moarch African 1-4×24 on my single shot. Both have the German #4 reticle

If the deal falls through, I'll take it.

Any chance you have 1 of these for sale still???

Did SSK Industries do your 470?

@Flewis - do you know if that individual with a #1 in 600JDJ is willing to part ways with it? I have a 500NE #1 and would be interested to talk to them. I've been looking for the 470NE as well. Saw one in GB a long time ago, missed opportunity.

How does your Lott handle??? Even with a full bull's weight and a brake this 450Nitro is fairly vicious.

Not sure what is viewable... Uploaded 2 photos, only showed 1 (the 2nd photo - on the bullseye.) Then tried to edit the post. Only to show the 2nd photo. Then tried to delete it, it won't. Made a 2nd reply of getting on target (nice group even if just getting on target). That's enough internet...

Getting on target.

The first photo was getting on target with the scope. The second photo is dialed in (100yds). Disregard the 308Win holes. I shoot small caliber first, then large to save targets. (Both 3 shot groups) The load is Hornady 500gr RN Interlocks stuffed on top of 92grs of IMR-4350, ignited with...

Seems everyone is looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist; I decided it was time to get on the bandwagon. In April, I ordered a barrel from SSK Industries in 450 Nitro 3 1/4". My goal was a 500gr at 2150fps. The muzzle brake is only a place holder until my big bore suppressor is...

Initial bidder likely put a starting bid in at 7500. Then, went back and increased their bid to cover being outbid at a later point, especially if the end time is when they are at work or traveling and can't follow the auction.

Hawk Bullets lists softs... I'm sure you'd have to order they make that size when ordered.

Check out Reloading International (dot) com - based out of Oregon. On their home page, search bar, enter North Fork and it will bring up the full line up and inventory. They have gotten quite a shipment in. Nearly everything in stock and in ample quantities.

My 450 and 500 brass arrived this am - Quite pleased! Thank you again for the heads-up. Much appreciated

Another round with both loads, same target.

In my convo with CCI: #34 primer was designed to prevent slam fires in semi-auto/full auto firearms. I asked if that meant they were used for 300Win Mag ball powder ammo. That was a NO. 308win ball powder was what they were designed for to ensure proper ignition in all conditions (Arctic to...

Actually they are not... I contacted CCI about this very issue. Here's their reply. I redacted personal info.

A lefty 500J [emoji3064]

A little shooting off the sticks tonight at 50yds. This is (2) 3 shot groups using 340gr North Fork SS in the 404Ruger. First 3 shots with Reloder 15 (1 top left and 2 bottom right) and the second 3 shots with MR-2000 (1 top right and and 2 bottom left). Neither horrible but I've shot A LOT...
