Shot a large muley doe this past sunday with this bullet out of my .280 Rem on the run at about 200 yards give or take a few yards. Muzzle velocity was measured when I worked up the load at an average of 3266 fps. Impact velocity should have been around 2800 fps or so. I am very impressed with...

Man that sure looks like a serious cartridge and just when I thought that I would be happy with my whelen forever and a coons age you go and put those pictures up and guys start talking about what it will do and what speeds you can get and so on. Well will have to put that on my wish list for...

My one and only load is the 225 AB over 57 grains of RL-15 CCI-200 primer in resized Winchester 30-06 brass. This was the first bullet I tried when I got my Whelen and bingo first loads were exactly what I was looking for. Funny though I have the same rifle as Scotty a 700 CDL with a 24" barrel...

Thanks for the replies guys :mrgreen: Here is what I have taken with each of the three over the years. 260 Rem Too many deer to count numerous bucks over 300 on the hoof of both species, cow moose, cow elk and black bears. 280 Rem same as above but nothing with my brand new 120 grain...

Well now I am in a mental pickle. I have a lot of loads for a lot of rifles and I just don't know what to pick for this year. I only have deer tags so I don't need anything magnum wise and I just can't make up my mind what to carry this season. I am comfortable with all my rifles and all the...

Man that is sweet shooting at 100 with only a 6x scope. I have no doubt you have an accurate load rifle combo but give yourself a pat on the back too for being able to do something like that with only 6x. Wating to hear how these bullets perform on game for you this year.

Thanks Dr Mike I never even thought about Berger having a match or custom chamber that their data came from. Working too many hours I guess so the old melon is getting soft in the middle now I feel somewhat stunned that I could not figure that out myself Thanks again Doc Mike

Well here is a question for you fine fellows on here about pressure. I have just worked up a load recently in my 300 win mag,( last sunday to be exact) and I have worked beyond listed max data by 3 grains and have no pressure issues or any signs that you would normally see. I was hoping to...

Have not been able to get any as of yet and I do look for it on a regular basis. I have been happy with the Nosler brass so far in other calibers. I did have to do the flash holes in 15 out of 50 280 rem brass last year but other than that no issues.

Gerry is right on the money I use 48 grains of H-4831 with either the 120 Ballistic Tip or the 125 Partition in my standard 260 and have been using these loads for years. I prefer the 125 for the big deer up here but have shot numerous does whitetails and mules with the 120 Ballistic tips and...

I have been hoping to try RL-17 since it came out but have never seen it in my local places yet. Powders right now are hit and miss here except for superformance and a couple of others. With what I have been seeing with superformance so far I am quite happy and once the word gets out about this...

Just an update on some more Superformance work Was at the farm yesterday and worked on the 30-06 load with 165's Kept the powder charge the same but worked on oal reducing it 5 thou at a time to see if groups would tighten up before adding more powder. I started this load at 3.340 and...

Just a quick update on this load I shot it again this weekend and the accuracy is the same I shot five more three shot groups and one was right at one inch the other four were pretty much exact as the first one I posted. I think I am good to go with this load. Also started fooling with the...

Ok guys I am going to try this from my laptop while out of town so the picture might load and might not and I am not a computer guy so fingers crossed. I started working with Hodgdon's Superformance in my buddy's 300 short mag last year with stellar results and insane velocity's with 150 grain...

Well don't tell anyone I said this but with the Whelen and properly hand loaded cartridges you do have a magnum at your disposal, that burns less powder, works from an easy to find non belted standard case (30-06) that necking up is a snap if you are so inclined to do such things. Nosler makes...
