Grrr.
NIIIICE.
Just gettin started finding a long range load for the 700P.
There we go Terry, looking good. Whats that light fixture you have in there?
What powder are you starting with?
I am retesting Varget using Winchester brass (I think it has a larger case volume than the SSAs I have been using) to see if I can get up to 45.0gn (the OCW) without being too hot.
Mike and I have both been shooting IMR 4895 @ 42.4-42.5gn with good results. The next step with that load is to shoot it over the chronograph to see if the velocity statistics are acceptable.
Good luck!
Can never have enough bins!* Little plastic tubs - $1 each at Home Depot - Awesome!
Do you know if the case collator and bullet feeder will work on the Classic Turret in conjunction with the Safety Prime? I spend so much time loading rifle ammunition I want to just crank out the pistol stuff afap.I really like the Lee Pro 1000s, the left one has the case collator, bullet feeder, and multi-tube adapter for the bullet feeder.

Also, there is no bullet-feeder listed on Lee's website, so I think the mechanics to make it work don't exist on the classic turret. The good news though, is that the Pro 1000 is only $160 from Midway or most other places.
Yes, it was the 45.0gn Varget load Mike was having and issue with, but I think I might have to do with case volume. Hodgdon's Data Center lists 45.0gn as max using the Winchester case.
I just loaded up another test batch with Varget, will let you know how that goes.
Ive heard nothing but positive reports on RE-15, so I suspect you will find a usable load. Are you planning to follow the OCW test procedure?
