I too have a Win Mod 70 Featherweight that I purchased new in the late 80's (non controlled feed action). The best I have ever been able to get it to consistently shoot is about 1 1/4" and that is with certainly handloads. The skinny, lightweight barrel is really a roadblock to getting MOA accuracy.
However, if you are having trouble reaching at least 1 1/2" after all of the things you have already done, you might want to consider recrowning the barrel.
---------------The last reloading manual I have that lists Winchester 450LS powder is the Speer number 8 manual published 1970.
Yes, what powder are you using?
Reloading: looking for Winchester 30 caliber .308 dia. 150gr. silver tip bullets/quanity 1000.
Rather than answer your question, I have posted a link to the Winchester reloading data below. I would strongly urge you NOT to ask for relaoding data on an open forum. Anyone can answer a question here- for all you know, I am 10 years old. (I'm not- but you have no way to verify that!) Link at the bottom of this answer- and shoot safe.
Reloading Manuals
The reloading data depends on the powder being used and the bullet weight. Try doing a web search for 308 reloading data and you will find lots of useful information.
First, for your safety please DO NOT solicit reloading data from anonymous sources on the internet. In wikianswers- anyone can answer a question- for all you know, I am 12 years old, and Mom does not know I am on the computer (I'm not- but that is beside the point) Hornady does not recommend IMR 3031 for the 160 gr FTX bullet in 30-30. This is a link to the Hornady reloading page for your caliber. PLEASE do not use reload data except that which is published by a powder company, a bullet maker, or manufacturer of reloading equipment. Safe shooting to you= C3. supervisor
You will have to experiment to find out. Start with available reloading manuals
One can buy RCBS, Hornady, and Dillon reloading dies from the Reloading Dies website. They also sell more and the categories inclue add-ons, gaming, hunting, and recreation.
By Reloading It
Alliant's 2400 or Winchester's 296 are both good powders for the 32/20 and will cover bullet weights from 85 up to 135 grains
Winchester made a 45 ACP "Non-toxic" round for indoor ranges that indeed uses a small pistol primer. It is not diserable brass for reloading.
they quit manufacturing ammo for the 22 wcf in 1936. I suggest gun shows, or gunbroker.com for any existing ammo for sale. then reloading after you have some brass cases to work with.
You have a Model 1885 Single Shot Rifle that was manufactured in late 1901 or early 1902. Factory loaded ammo was discontinued for this cartridge circa 1935. Reloading dies can be purhased from RCBS or CH4D, but they are expensive. The hardest part will be finding carrtidge cases.
unfortunately you can't so if you are reloading get to cover, this will reduce the risk of you getting shot.
You cannot zoom while reloading, but you can cancel the reload and shoot the remaining bullets(if any) by sprinting while reloading.
It depends on model. Some models can save some data without reloading, some can't. Thus you can have partially configured router or not configured at all. But reloading is not going to damage your router.
The popular 243 Winchester originated as a wildcat based on the 308 Winchester brass necked down to 243 caliber, Warren Page developed the first prototype of this cartridge, it was then made available as a factory cartridge to the public by Winchester in 1955.The 243 Winchester is the first true dual purpose class of cartridges, loaded with lighter bullets it is an extremely effective varmint round, sending a 70 grain bullet out the barrel at 3,500 fps., this is enough for any varmint sized game at the 400 yard mark, however load it with 100 grain bullets at 3,000 fps. and you have an excellent deer and antelope round good for 300 yards.My own favorite bullet weight is 87 grains which serves the dual purpose of varmint and deer cartridge.The 243 Winchester is a light recoiling round which is comfortable enough for anyone to shoot, and it is inherently accurate which is a bonus to all that own a rifle chambered in this round.For a beginner just getting into the high power rifle sports the 243 Winchester round is highly recommended. Also for anyone that is recoil sensitive this is a great rifle cartridge.243 Winchester Barrel Specifications.Common Barrel Twist Rate - 1 in 10" & 1 in 9" (uncommon) 1 in 12".Bore Groove Diameter - .243"243 Winchester Reloading Specifications.Bullet Diameter - .243"Maximum Case Length - 2.045"Trimmed Case Length - 2.035"Primer Size - Large Rifle243 Winchester Loading Data Hints.The 243 Winchester most common barrel twist rate is 1 in 10" but if you have one with a twist rate of 1 in 9" or 1 in 9 1/2" then you'll find that the 243 will give its best bullet performance using 100 grain bullets with slower burning powders like I.M.R.4831 powder.243 Winchester Reloading Data.Hodgdon Reloading Data Center.243 Winchester Reloading Dies.RCBS Full Length Die Set, 243 Winchester.243 Winchester Shell Holder.RCBS #3 Shell Holder For 243 Winchester.243 Winchester Bullets..243 (diameter) Bullets, by Sierra, Barnes, Hornady, Nosler.243 Winchester Unprimed Brass.Winchester and Remington Bulk Unprimed Rifle Shellcases, 243 Winchester.243 Winchester Ammunition.Hornady, Remington, Winchester, 243 Winchester ammunition.243 Winchester Rifles.New Browning, Remington, Winchester .243 Winchester rifles here.243 Winchester Trajectory and Hunting Applications.This is a down range trajectory chart for the 243 Winchester cartridge with the scope mounted 1.5 inches above the bore center line plus if you were using this load, its effective hunting bullet energy range with well placed shots on,Varmint / Predator size game, such as Bobcat, Cougar, Coyote.Deer size game, such as Antelope, Blacktail, Hogs, Javelina, Mule, Whitetail.Elk size game, such as Caribou, Black Bear, Sheep.Moose size game, such as Brown Bear.Bullet diameter .243"Bullet weight 100 grainsBullet ballistic coeffecient .376Bullet velocity 3,100 feet per secondRange100 yds.200 yds.300 yds.400 yds.500 yds.++ 1.50- 6.8- 19.9- 40.71788148612281009825Varmint++++++Deer+++---Elk------Moose------
Reloading, fire starting, etc..
Google Alliant Powder on first page click on VIEW THE GUIDE there is the list for reloading.
Cowboys loved a colorful phrase! This was a funny way of describing your eating utensils. You were reloading yourself instead of your gun.
Go to the RCBS reloading die website.
Whatever the reloading manual has in it.
reloading to much.
No one that I've heard of. Now, a 7.65mm bullet is a different story. Numerous makers of ammunition and components for reloading are out there. Do an internet search.
