Thanks, I don't see any pressure signs yet , but I'm getting close. The 358 win goes to about 49 gr. so I figure I should be able to get to 48 gr. I'll go very slowly

the first ones i formed i used old norma and lapua brass i played with 15 years ago with my mosin. they had been reloaded several times. i annealled them. also had to neck turn then because the brass had a tapered thickness. the new ppu brass is annealled and it is thinner, so didnt have to turn them. i made a set of neckdown sizing dies for making 358 just hunt brass, thats the 300 wsm 1.8 358 case.it takes about 5 steps to make that brass. the ppu only needed 2 steps to form ,pretty easy.i also found an easy way to cut down brass with a drill press and a cheap 2.5 in. saw blade for a dremel type tool.

OK thanks, I went to the range today and tried 3031 powder with ppu brass for the first time. With a hornady 200 gr. Ftx bullet. I loaded from 45 gr. To 46.5 in 1/2 grain increments. I think I can go a little hotter. Velocity ranged from 2480 to 2570. The surprising part how well they grouped in the ladder test.

I use about 8 grains of hs6 pistol powder , it works good. Any pistol powder. Do you load much of the sr4758? I'm new to wildcat.

Yes, I use grits or cream of wheat , but I still think it puts some wear to the barrel. I may be wrong.

It's an AI case with very little tapper and I have to blow out the neck to load it. I could use the barrel on it but I'd rather not wear out my chamber fireforming. I have a short barrel made for fireforming.

That's a decent price, I've been looking for a receiver to blow out cases with, there are a lot of gun shows to check. I hope they don't ban importations permanently!

That's impressive, I've tried 4 different barrels and never could get any of them consistent shooters.they would group great some times but never as a bolt gun. I do think there is a issue with the individual frames and lock up. My brother has one that shoots great all the time.I tried about everything I could think of. I just use it black powder and it's very consistent.

Check out bellm TC, he's got some interesting information on T C rifles and why some shoot poorly.

That's what I'm looking for, go figure, I worked on this case for about a year and I finally Finnish it and all the mosin nagant vannish. I thought there would be hundreds of bad shooting mosins out there!

I've read on line where some people have had the bore enlarge from turning the the barrel blank down, and also about stress releaving the barrel after turning.
