I tested yesterday some 130gr Impala bullet is my 303. And Boom got keyholing on the target . What is very strange I fired two 150gr interlocks and and then an impala round hit about 2 inch from the other but got an keyhole. The rifle is an old martini Enfield with 30inch barrel so its mainly...

Good evening everyone hope everyone is doing well. I bought a Cz 557 eclipse 308 win and could only find 180gr Federal Fusion ammo at the shop so I bought a box. I did notice with the rounds feels very stif for a 308 feels more like the kick of a 30-06. Now I am wandering is it just the new...

The barrels twist rate affect the bullet choices the most. I am also from South africa and just bought the new CZ557 eclipse wanted a 30-06 but could not find one so settled on the 308win model. They both have a 1in10 twist rate so they will shoot better with rounds in the 158gr to 180gr

I have no problems with people whose body does not allow them to it on foot anymore I have some back injuries so I understand your point. I just dont like it when people are to lazy and just want to sit on the bakkie and just shoot with some refreshments

The big problem I have with bakkie hunters is as of late is. People want to shoot at long ranges and compete against each other with rifles that look like they belong on a bench rest competition. But thats just shooting and is fine for varmint. But I love doing the leg work and going on a walk...

I used the reloading bench at our gunshop. They have an RCBS benchprimer that I used . This was my first time reloading so still learning to do it. These are PMP ammo it was an South African ammunition manufacturer they are basically closed down now. They used to be good but the last 20 years...

They did seat with more force need I felt in move bit by bit then it stoped and just a bit extra pressure. They seated flush with the heads of the cases one or two just a bit below. Yes its for the Martini so I realy dont want to mess up the old gun. I want to go hunt with it still this year...

Do the Sellior and beloit primers look fine in your opinion

Thank you no I did not clean inside the pocket just the inside of the case before I deprimed and resized. I only cleaned the brass on the outside after seating the primer. Think I will just shoot of the primers and toss the brass I have only 40 of them and 60 Sellior and beloit brass

This is the Sellior and beloit ammo I loaded

This could be a quality control issue the guys are talking that one needs brass from same lot or the case volume differ

I am using Federal large rifle primers. We did not clean the pockets. I do not own a tumbler so I cleand the inside with a patch on a cleaning rod . The outsides I cleaned with a fine steel wool

This is for a 303 looks like commercial ammo. I did see on some PMP ammo there were the odd shapes are that there is some marks that look like someone took a punch and nocked the case to the primer side if that makes sense

I think I am going to toss that one then. There looks something not right with that one. I bought these brass once fired so I guess maby there is something wrong with that one

Thanx alot the Sellior and Beloit did seat flush and a few just slightly below. I pressed it till I felt it stopped and just a bit of pressure. I was loading at a shop that you can rent the reloading station and they had a bench primer the guy showed me quickly wat to do. Still need to trim some...
