Re: N530 in 204 R and 17 Rem
Rick, Did you experience any temp sensitivity with the N133? You are absolutely right about the skyrocketing prices of reloading consumables...and everything else we buy now. But I believe that expensive and accurate hand loaded ammo is the least and last thing I can do for Skippy. LOL!! The one th...

Re: Lyman M5 scale $150 Shipped
Jim, I would not be selling this scale if I didn't have already have an M5 and a 10-10 scale. Both new old stock, never used when I bought them. Finding these excellent scales new/unused is like hens teeth now. I think the better electronic scales are great, but you better have something to check t...

Re: N530 in 204 R and 17 Rem
I tried N135, N140 & N540 in my 204's when I first got them. They did OK but I had better luck with several others that were very plentiful at the time so I just stuck with them.

Re: Lyman M5 scale $150 Shipped
I'm not interested in buying this because I have 2 of them already. I thought I'd pass on though is recently I've noticed when I was looking for reloading equipment for someone else is that many kits these days do-not come with a beam scale any longer. They've been replaced by digital scales; Dillon...

Re: Annealing question!
Many methods here, all seem to work okay. For over 35 years, I've used Todd Kindler's "Series II Annealing Tip" using a circular flame attachment on the propane torch. It covers 360* of the case neck and shoulder. Cases are stood up in a pie pan of water, about 1/2" deep to protect t...

Re: CZ 527 Varmint
For a 204, you won't go wrong with H4895, RL-10x, RL15, or Benchmark. Amongst those, there is no bad choice. There are others that I've heard that perform well but I haven't tried them. RL-7 [and H4198] shines bright in my 20 VT & 221 Fireball and I hear its good in a 38-55 too which I'll explor...

Re: What would you do????
I've got a book in my library titled "Bolt Action Rifles" by Frank deHaas. Which version is best? Version? Not sure what you're referring to there, Jim. One version, one book. Are you asking which bolt action rifle was deemed 'best'? That's not what the book is about. It covers, in extrem...

Re: CZ 527 Varmint
FWIW, of my three 204 rifles, the CZ shot the 40 grainers better than the two Remington 700's. What Rick stated though what works in one rifle won't necessarly work the same in another one identical and what Bill mentioned; to get the best accuracy, you'll have to reload, starting low and working up...

Re: Opinions on handloading new brass-
Three shot groups are very dependent on YOUR accuracy. I like five shot groups when load developing. You might miss a really good node due to a pulled shot. I also like to repeat ladder tests whenever I'm in doubt. I'm with you, 5-shot groups unless its a larger caliber hunting rifle with a thin ba...
