My 2-cents? Go with the 7 ogive. They're a lot easier to tune compared to the 10's.

Jackie - Blackmon dies are steel.

Al - we don't blue that often. We also don't perform any gunsmithing services. I do recommend these guys however:

They've done color case hardening for me and...
I've shot LT-30 in my 6 PPC and it works well. Seems to be a bit less humidity sensitive compared to LT-32. Start around 26.5 grs and go up slowly. I capped out around 27.5 grs. It's fast for the...
Al - I haven't done nitric, but do a lot of hot bluing. Here's a thread I recently posted on the subject:

Excellent point Al. The process I described WITH the bullet uses standard 30 BR powders (ie, 4198, LT-30, etc). Pistol powders under a bullet as you described is absolutely a bomb.

If your chamber is 0.330" at the neck and you're aiming for a loaded round of 0.328", you need a smaller bushing. Try 0.324" or 0.325" and seat the bullet long. It'll get pushed back and jam into...
Back in the 80's, my dad built a 50's style BR rifle in .219 Donaldson Wasp. I thought I'd add it to our history thread:

Nice find Jackie. What ogive? It may be written on the bag, but I can't make that out.

I'm using a homemade core cutter (shown at the far right of the above photo).

If you have dies on order with George, see if he'll set you up with his converted Lee Classic Cast presses. I have 5 of them from George and they're outstanding.

Old Crow....I'm a budget drinker. Tasted plenty of the high end stuff over the years and could never justify the price.

I bought a 100 of their 0.925" 30's a few years back, but have yet to try them. They weigh about 3.5 grs less than Hines. I spot checked a bunch and found wall variation to be 0.0003" or less. ...
I believe you Tim. All I can say is I've shot .30's in teen temperatures and have never seen yaw in the paper (we do occasionally get sub-20's in Northern VA). Maybe I just got lucky with my...
Very true Greg. We don't get cold like you all have up Maine. But we do sometimes shoot Winter League in 20's and 30's.
I'll definitely be up for the Firecracker next spring. Wayne and I were...
I shoot 1:18" Kriegers with a 114 gr 7-ogive on 0.925's. Some of my best scores have been in really cold weather (we shoot 2 Winter League matches a month in Virginia). Not sure I'm buying the...
By "BT punch" I assume you mean the point die? Lube isn't your problem. In fact, you're using way too much in my opinion. I use 2.0 grs of pure anhydrous lanolin for 1,000 .30 cals on 0.925"...
Wayne - I just posted the results on the website. Here's the link:

Very sad news indeed. I only met Wibur in person once. It was my rookie year and I'll never forget his help and encouragement. Godspeed.
