Hardback, some damage to dj and spine but sound. Pages are immaculate. $20 shipped.

It must be a stock makers mark but I don’t recognize it. Can anyone help with this ?

I am searching for one of these for my CZ 505 Gibbs. If anyone knows of one or has one they don’t want anymore please contact me. Thank you in advance for any help with this.

I agree. As long as you have a caliber or better seating depth you’re good. You can start with 15-20 thou JTL and increase by 5 thou until find what the rifle likes best. Subsequently the magazine length (max) is usually the determiner of where I start my bullet seating AS LONG AS the magazine...

Very nice - maybe add a couple more photos of the left side please

Thank you sir , I’m glad I could help you !

Where are you located ? I may be able to help

I’ve always used Lee Factory Crimp dies and have not had any issues at all with bullet slip (even with the 404J and 416 Rigby)

Rookhawk, when I was developing loads for the 7x57 using NF 160 gr SS my data was 48.0 gr IMR4831 (velocity Ave of 2,572) with a COAL of 3.125” ( I had PacNor do a long throat). This yielded a 0.7” group.

I don’t have any light bullets , only 570 gr

What powder are you using ? I’m going to try H4350 and RL15.

I see that now , I’m loading 570’s & 600’s so it looks like no filler wad is required

Starting to load for this and was curious. Thank you for any and all help!

Actually some of the material did get into the bore (rifling marks were on it). My smith measured that and it was right at 8.75-8.77 mm

That’s good (and unknown to me!) information!
