I think this will make it clear: https://www.lazzeroni.com/Lazzeroni...308-Warbird®-212GR-Lubricated-ELD-X_p_64.html
What did you do today in the reloading room?

Warbird is a wildcat caliber, or used to be. It is a .308 bullet in some kind of brass, it is not belted.
IMR7828 (not the SC) produces the best accuracy I have found for my 300's pushing 180 grainers. and in my 243, the 100 and 105 partition.

It is a .404 Jeffery case necked down to .308.
How did the DZ trip go? Did you shoot the 1000? I live a few miles from there and go out there when I can.
I hadn't heard of it either. Here is some interesting reading.
You'd have to reload, or be rich, to shoot it much.

John Lazzeroni's long and short magnums are the fastest of their kind. His rifles are no slouches either.

Interesting. That's where the 300 Remington SAUM came from.

I'll let you know how it goes. I'm going on Labor Day with some friends.
Heck I may be out there on Labor Day even.

The reloading I have been doing lately seems like it would go faster if I used a shovel.
Loaded 100, .338 Lapua Magnum rounds. Figured I would try and give that Warbird some competition at Dead Zero on Monday.
One of the best loads I have tested for this rifle is: 300 gr SMK, 78.4 gr of IMR 4350. I some of this Bell Brass I am going to try as well. Anyone else ever use Bell Brass?

That's some great shootin' TD!
I used to drool over the idea of having a Lazzeroni rifle when I was a kid.I hadn't heard of it either. Here is some interesting reading.

Still decapping 9's. Got about 500 done. Not quite halfway done.
I thought my 223's were waiting on chamfering but bad news I have 1500 crimped primer pieces. Thought they were all done. This is painful. hours of swaging. oh well.

Well Tonto, you sure aren't the Lone Ranger in that! Today I worked on about 700 5.56 cases that were crimped. Had to stop before I got them all finished cause of cramps from working the press ram. lol
