While I was reloading the 338 wim. mag. by mistake I inadvertently used the standard CCI 200 primer instead of the mag. 250 primer. My ? is will this cause excessive chamber pressure or not.In advance thank you for your help.

Hi, 20some years ago I loaded for my H bar your new (at the time)80gr. Now, I just purchased a Savage 223 with a 1 in 9 twist (24in bar.). Starting and learning again (so much I’ve forgotten), is your 69 bthp still the correct match up? Also, now that I’m retired, I would love to go out west to visit some friends in Colorado and shoot some pr. dogs. Would I be correct to assume your 55gr ballistic tip would work ok in my new rifle for 300plus yd shots. My thinking was to use the lightest for 1 in 9 and one of the heavier BT bullets for better accuracy down range. I chose this twist because years ago I was so impressed with the 69gr with my friends 1 and 9 Savage, even in the wind, that I had to get one. Also, maybe I’m all wrong, but I believe a 55gr. will always be better than a 50 or 52 with some wind involved. What I need from the experts is your oppion of the 69 and 55gr Sierra’s. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I reload my .222 rem. for my little girl for use on turkey and deer(usually 50 yards or less). I have been using 63gr. sierra smp bullets with outstanding results. However in moving to a new home this year my data was lost, I know I used remington brass,cci primers, your bullet and IMR 4895 powder. However I do not remember the charge I used. Could you please sent me data on your loads for the 222 w/63 gr.smp. I need to reload some rounds for this deer season comming up my nine year old is looking forward to it. Thank You.

Dear Sierra bulletsmiths,
A few years ago you gave me a stating load for a
Remington .222 using IMR 4227.Thank you very much.
The groups are holding .5 to .75 (5 shots) at 150 yards.
I have another question.
Could you email me copies of sierra reloading manual for the 30/30 winchester.
Some how my pages have disappeared over the past 20years.
I really enjoy your web site.
Thank you,
Your truly,
Bill Hetherington
