Well I decided I was gonna dedicate my old tikka 3006 as my practice hunting rifle. Its the pre t3 model and a good shooter.
I've got a FL die set, a redding body die, and a lee collect neck sizer. The body die/collect do a great job of sizing cases w/minimal run out but I like a little more...
A while back I picked up 4 boxes of nosler 270wby blem brass on sale. Didn't load too many till today. I had put a few together for a friend and once we confirmed the load was a perfect match to wby brass I put together 50 rounds of the same recipe. First the wt consistancy of the brass was...
Been using it for the last 2 years w/the ceramic ball applicator. .Just sized up a batch of 20 270 win with ordinary rcbs dies.I use a shaved lee shellholder for no toggle over for perfect head space control.I've done a little tuning on the expander to make sure its centered in the die. Slowly...
Picked up a bottle on a whim at the gunshop today and got a little buyers remorse. Seems like there's only limited data and hogdon only publishes in cartridges that they deemed to have good performance.
Looks like I can burn it in my 243 and 06 but was hoping for alot more info.
Anyone got...
Noticed nosler is listing brass but can't find any info on Google searches.
Can't imagine blowing the shoulder out more than standard 270 wsm.
Maybe just a misprint?

Not necessarily looking for blistering speed but was thinking of tinkering w/blems from sps w/ mild accurate loads on whitetail.
Anyone tinker w/them at all?
I've got a number of comparators but not .277.
I was wondering how much rifling bearing area the new ablr has. Just trying to get a finger on how "sticky" this bullet might be.
Using some hillbilly measurements using two calipers I'm coming up with the actual caliber width of the shank...
If so I'm dieing to see one sectioned to see how thick they made the jacket!
I know guys in other chatrooms are feeling the same and could link info from here.
Thanks for anyone that could do that.
Sps has a few 6.8 bullets on sale. I picked up some 110 accubonds just to play a bit with some light loads in my 270 win.
I figure they were designed with the 6.8 speeds in mind and that would be a mv of about 2600 fps. Wonder if they'd work with a start of about 3000 out of the 270 win...
I was needing to change out my walnut stuff and saw a post on another site. Picked up a 5# bag of uncooked white rice at Wally world for $2.93.2.5# is a perfect match to my midway tumbler. I followed the guys recipe and mixed 1 oz kit car wax with 1 oz rubbing alcohol and slowly added it to the...
Got a buddy that wants a good sized batch of ammo loaded to a recipe we've used in the past w/wby brass.
I see shooters has a good deal on the nosler headstamp.
My question is....is this nosler brass made by Norma and would it have the same capacity that we wouldn't have to rework loads?
If its...
Shootin at 200 yds today. The cluster is the first 4 shots but then the darn flyer jumps up. Whats a guy to do??
I guess I'll blame it on a warm barrel....certainly couldn't be me.
Group was still 1.4" c to c.
Can't wait to load some more and go back. Max load of re19 with 215 primer cranking...
I'm swaging this bullet down to .330 and using it in an old military rifle with open sites. Most loads and bullets hit about 9" high with the stock sites but I found a load starting this bullet at 1900fps that shoots fantastic and right on the money at 100 yds. This could be a really nice mild...
Looks like I got some of the accubonds with the breakable tips. Loaded up 50 rounds last night and noticed a couple bullets had missing tips from the jacket up. Did a little light pushing with my finger tips and wound up with 5 out of 50 that I had to pull and replace. I thought maybe my...
Just curious if they might have changed alloys or bonding somewhat. My first experience with the accubond and other reports was that it was not much different in performance than the ballistic tip. Now it seems like performance is much better and reliable.
So, what gives....were there changes...
I used to go there frequently and found pretty good and changing bullet inventory. Lately it seems like the same old pages of auctions over and over again.
Is Nosler gonna get "pumping" on Bivwak in the future or should I spend my time at shooters proshop??
Went to the range today with my 22" rem. Had some strong loads with re22 and magpro.
At 200 yds I got a 5 shot group with the re22 at 1.6"
At 200 yds I got a 4 shot group with the magpro at 1.5"...5th shot I had a called flyer that went about an inch outside left.
I was clocking 3190 with the...
