I wrote to HSM and this is what I got back: In regards to the email you sent expressing your concerns about reloading brass with the HSM headstamp. At HSM, we use only quality components that will in turn make the end product as accurate, reliable and precise as possible. We have sold millions of ro...

Wow. This is good to know. I bought a bunch of HSM .204 cartridges a couple years ago and shot'em but haven't tried to reload them yet.

Here is the data from Barnes website. There is a formatting problem here but perhaps you can figure it out. http://www.barnesbullets.com/information/load-data/data-204/ ♦Indicates most accurate load Bullet Weight: 26 gr Case Trim Length: 1.840" S.D. 0.089 Bullet Style: VG FB Primer: CCI 4...

Were you close to Lewistown?

I don't think mis labeling is a problem. Most here I believe that they keep their powder in the original container and I've never heard of powder being mislabeled from the factory.

I just got this back from Barnes Bullets: Thanks for the email. We are in the process of shooting for our new reloading manual and don't quite have the load data for that cartridge.

He set it for me and it now breaks at 3 1/2# just right for me. He dabbed a little clear nail polish like stuff on the screw heads to secure th...

It's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission!

Because we actually shoot the BC values after the final product is released, I suspect it will still be a few weeks ...

Does the 12fv have a Left hand stock with a right hand action?
