A little off topic here but what was your overall experience with Hart? I have a rifle that’s been waiting for a re-barrel and want to use Hart due to their locality and past reputation. BTW - I have three 30-06’s that I reload for which use 180g PTs over 58-62g of RL-22. How many rounds do...

If I had an Alaskan zip code, I would be carrying a 358Norma. You can use any standard length action to get a very versatile and efficient cartridge. Consider a 200gr AB @ 3150fps or a 225gr AB @ 3000fps or a 250gr PT @ 2800fps or 280gr A-Frame @ 2650fps. That covers the whole gamut of big game...

Do you sell them for scrap metal or just accumulate to see how much you've shot?

Agree with OT3. Have to be shill bidders.

I've re-introduced these into my .270 lineup of late. I lost faith soon after their original release due to their explosive characteristics. I bought a bunch of blems about two years ago in order to try out their new design and at worst have an accurate range load. They shot great, as always...

I've always felt that 200gr CoreLock was designed for the 35Rem and velocities not exceeding 2100fps. Your bullet here looks pretty good though. I think the Speer 220gr FP and Sierra 225gr GK are perfect for deer and the 35 Whelen.

My results with SuperFormance and 168gr BTs was very unnerving. Extreme velocity spread and very inaccurate. I have since read that mag primers are the way to go with this very fine, ball powder. I'm hesitant to re-attempt as there are so many other powders that work well with this cartridge.

I have found 49.0gr of RL-22 @ ~3100fps and 51.0gr of IMR-4350 @ ~3135fps to work well with the 110gr NAB in my 25-06. I have never worked with H-4350 in any rifle.

I wouldn't shy away from trying the 160gr Hot-Cor in your 7mmBee. Should provide a better BC than the InterLocks and hold together as good or better. She is a beauty FOtis!

Up next for my -06 with the 180gr BTs is Superperformance and IMR-4350. Aaron will repeat with IMR-4350 but start at 58.5 this time and increase in .5gr increments to 60.0gr. He'd like to get a good load with this powder first and then start messing with others. Aye, aye sir! With the .270W...

Nice to see you've been re-acquainted with your old friend. Looks like you've shared some good times together. I have wanted a Model 19 for as long as I can remember. This past summer I was able to get my hands on a NIB Model 19-3 with a 4" barrel. The long wait was worth it. It has replaced my...

They do look tempting! Hmmmmm...I think I know of a LGS that has some MagPro in stock. :idea:

That's a gratifying start with your S.C. production M70 Sporter. I haven't heard of any complaints from that line. From the looks of your range, you should be able to take full advantage of that .270Win/130gr BT combo and reach out far and straight. I have always found H-4831 to be a...

I will probably do just that with the two middle loads in that 270W as it has been very consistent. There's plenty of speed there already and I don't like to push the 130gr BTs too fast anyways. I know Aaron will want to experiment a bunch with his -06 so I foresee a bunch of load development...

I then tried some RL-22 and 180gr BTs in my BDL IN 30-06. This gun is a donor that I just can't get the cash together to convert it. It continues to soldier on and take deer and Blackies for the past 7 or 8 years for various members of my extended family. The results here weren't too promising...
