I would like to see Nosler introduce that round, it would be so easy with their 280AI brass. Yes, I know it is easy now as a wildcat and I load my own most of the time but at 65 years old I would like my rifles handed down to be factory chamberings.
I think about this more and more since it...
I have received my components for testing my Number 1 .264WM. I have been really cranked about this rifle.
I got out my trusty Stoney Point gauge & found out the throat is crazy short. In fact, with the 120 gr. BT & the 140gr. Part. the bullet contacted the lands at an average of 3.257 & 3.23...
My Wife drew an Arkansas Cow Elk tag & we are exited about that. She wants to use her 6.5x55 Swede & I have no doubt it will work ( I know about all the Nordic Moose), but I want a good, quick killer, the area most likely to find the Elk is the Buffalo River bottoms, where the G&F has cut many...
I am looking at developing the optimal 100 grain load for my brother's 25-06 Ruger Target & experimenting with my Sendero. The Ruger really likes 100 gr. bullets so the quest will be more serious but my 25-06AI likes 115-120 bullets just fine, so for it I am just experimenting. Anyway, I WAS...
Sadly, it appears I need to get some quick cash to help a friend with a bum deal. I will be selling my M700VS set-up in 308. :(
I will replace, hopefully in 6 mo. or so with another 308. I would like a Rem 5R, but I don't want to spend that much. It appears for the price & specs (twist, 20 or...
I think the Number1 is one fine rifle, classic looks & fine balance, just alot of class. However, a Number1 that I had in the past just did not group for me & we have all heard the horror stories of the past. True, I bought it in the era when the Ruger barrels were less than stellar. I hear...
I received a new Alliant Manual today. I noticed this new powder showed even higher vel. than RL17 with 165 & 180gr. 308 loads & very good in 300WM as well. Anyone tried it?
I was looking at the Nosler site & saw this bullet, a 300 gr. 45/70 CT, in the list of Bal. Sil. bullets. It puzzles me a bit, is it a thick jacket, is this a "soft" tip, is it just for Deer & down? Also, the 300gr. Part. protectedpt. was listed, is this an error?
Hmmm :?:
No doubt, alot can be done with a 300 Mag. www.biggameawards.com

I will be loading ammo in the next 2 weeks for an upcoming Antelope hunt.
We will be using a couple 25-06's & a couple of 25-06AI's, 4 rifles. The WY shots can be well over 400 yds. where we hunt. We have used alot of different bullets & know pretty much what to expect in terminal performance at...
I was out of town yesterday & stopped at a gunshop. They had RWS primers, size Large Rifle. I did not see magnum on them, there was a #5341, which might be a lot#.
Are these good primers.
BTW, they came in boxes of 250 @ $10.00 a box.
I read an article in May/June Sports Afield: Choosing a better game bullet.
Barness wrote the article & as a side note stated that alot of Elk hunters
have been asking for a "tougher" 180 BT & that the 180 now has a much thicker jacket, in fact he says the new jacket is 60% of the bullet wt...
I like the o-ring method, but they can crack in humid weather like we have with repeated oiling, etc, but they are easy to take on & off, which I don't need to do. I am aware of Paco Kelly's fix & the aftermarket parts you can buy.
But my brother came up with this for us at least. We use a...

I saw that Nosler is introducing this. I hope it has the same BC as the CT version, if past bullets is a pattern it should. I started to try some WIN Bal ST's to see if my Rem M700VS likes them, now I don't have to. Thanks Nosler!!! :grin:
