Thanks, yes they are 32 gr. I will look in to the v-max loads.

With the situation with our Government and it's agencys now days, it is best they do not know who and how much ammo is around. Have you noticed the news reports lately. Some person is checked out and nothing related to it brings the authorities into the house and they find a cache of ammo "Tho...

I am trying to load as much as I can. My big hold up is cost of brass. I have close to 1000 rounds to us but no brass. I have about 300 loaded up right now, but never can have enough loaded be fore the man tries to stop it all. So I say do as much as you can, you never know when you will not be able...

Well I just wanted to see if anyone has started to get any reload data yet. I get my z-max's today and am working up some loads. I am going to us two powders, IMR 4064 and CFE 223. I am using Win cases and primers. I am going to start IMR out at 27gr. Then go up by .3 gr each group of 5. I am going ...

Well this is day two of my shooting. Two are my relaods and two are factory loads. http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb357/cubdad67/IMG_0207.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb357/cubdad67/IMG_0208.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb357/cubdad67/IMG_0206.jpg http://i1201.photobucket....

Tokimini you are right they are the v-max with a different tip. But a box of 500 for like $54, got to have it. It is just about the same price as the Midway Dogtown's. Midsouthshooters.com is going to sell them when they are released. They are taking orders now thou.

I too have bought 1 lb of CFE 223. But I have not used it. I was thinking of waiting for the z-max rounds to come in, if they do. But I too would like to see loads that you all have come up with.

Darius

Has anyone used this powder, CFE 223? I was looking at trying it with the dogtown from mid way and the z-max when it comes in. But I would look at other options also.

Thanks

I just got load data for the bk. would you like me to send it to you.

Darius

This is how I did with the 39 gn BK's. The photo has most info you might ask for. I do belive that this is a light load, but it is almost a compresed load at that. The power is at the base of the neck. I am still going to try and up it by .5 to 1 gn. http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb357/cubdad6...

Well then I do not have anythig else that might help you. Good luck in getting it to shoot like it should.

Darius

Tonyb,
Is the barrel free floted? I know I had he same issue with my .270 win and .300 win mag. They were not floted. once I did flot them I could shoot 40 rounds back to back and the rounds would not move. Just one idea.

Darius

Well I was able to get to the range today. I brought my reloads of 39gn Sierra, with 25.5gns of IMR 4064 also used my 24gns of IMR 4064 with 34 gn dogtown's. Look at the photos for how well the did or did not do. I you have any good info that could help I would love to hear it. I also used 2 factory...

I also have just started to reload. This is how I did. I used two factory loads and two reloaded loads.
