I found a load last year with Nosler virgin brass for my 3006. I full length sized them and produced the same accuracy. Ray.

Thanks , I do have some RL 17. I'll start off with BG and see what happens. I'm waiting for cooler weather, I like to try to have velocity and accuracy dialed In for hunting temperatures. I will post my results later. Ray.

Thank you for the insight, the 08 is new to me for handloading and reading ridge runners post about QL ,I know I should be measuring overfill capacity with a fired case but I'm not there yet because I have to fire this Nosler brass first. I'm going by Nosler data and ramshot , I wanted to see...

Thank you very much JimBires, I have some start charges at 47 .0 gr increased by .5 increments to 50.0 gr. Should I start lower ? Thanks again, Ray.

If someone would be so kind to run a QL for 7mm08 bolt action ? Seated bullet 2.740 " 120 gr spt prohunter. Big game powder Nosler brass Cci 250 primer. 20" barrel. Thanks, Ray !

Thanks for everyone's help and advice. Yes I know the truth is to shoot and find out , I guess I was wanting to know what the typical norm was. When I read up on these things , a lot of details are left out. Somewhere through the research, I missed the part about working up loads using...

I forgot to mention that I test using a bench and bags and I hunt from an elevated deer blind and shoot from a window.

Thanks guys, my rcbs fl die won't touch the shoulder yet ! I worked up W760 ,cci 250 and 180 gr prohunter @0.055" off the lands and shot 5 shot groups with a cold barrel for each shot at 30*F with a pop up canopy to block the sun. I guess I got lucky. My first load work up was with Imr...

Nickel size groups at 100 yards. So are you saying as long as I fl size the once fired brass , I should be ok ? Yes, for hunting.

I have a winter load for my 30/06 that was worked up with new Nosler brass from last year. My plan is to full length size the once fired brass . I pretty much have the same measurements with the once fired cases as they were new ( length , shoulder to case head ) . So if I FL size this...

Hi WT, I'm shooting nickel size groups with W760 @ 52.5 gr , Nosler brass ,CCI 250 and Sierra 180 gr prohunter. I haven't run it through a chrono yet but it'll bust right on through a 3" cedar at 100 yards. Temperatures in 27- 30 * F.

Cool , that's some good shootin ' ! It seems like that rifle will shoot all bullet types. I'm gonna have to try those partitions. Ray.

By all means ! Thanks for the target pic , very nice !!!! I'll have to look into it. I seen this was in February, was it cold ?

Thanks for the help guys. Ray.
