10.4X38R Swiss (centerfire conversion)
6.5X53.5R Dutch

We are not as smart as our Grandfathers, apparently.
I have read of pulling bullets and reloading LRs with black powder for the Authentic Experience.
I have also read of pulling bullets and reloading WMRs with SMKs.

The 25 WSSM was no treat to try and find information for when it first came out. One or two powders was all it seemed. I can say many times I'm glad I backed off a couple grains as a "safe start point" because I was already too hot with it. And not by design, either. I called all the powder manufacturers and bullet makers looking for a safe starting point. It also likes to 'top out' really fast.
The 7mm TCU. You almost can't make a mistake with this little gem. I'm kinda sad I didn't get with the program with it until 30 years after it's inception. Even though as a kid I did help load it when it was just the 7mm Ugalde. It would have been a great jackrabbit round.
FWIW: I am getting ready to start loading 30-06 accelarator
does 30-30 with 165 Nosler Ballistic tip, 30-06 with 150gr SST at 3100fps, or 9mm +P+ Lead Truncated cone count?
