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...

Hey guys , it's been a while! I want to load up some 120gr prohunters for my sons 708 youth rifle while using Noslers brass , w760 and cci 250s. The thing is sierras data starts at 41.4 using federal brass and ends with 47.9. Noslers data starts with 48 gr. I do know federal brass has less...

I could not get my Nosler 165 gr BTs to group under 3 inches with my 3006 using imr4350 at temps 30 ° , although with w760 it was better. I tried some 180 gr pro hunters with some w760 &cci250 s and 52.5 gave me .4 with 4 shots, I saved the 5th for a 3 to 4 " cedar ( wow ) ! I just hope these...

Is this a sign of inconsistency? ( ignition inconsistency) ?

A month ago my 11 year old son and I zeroed his scope. This rifle is a vanguard s2 7mm08 youth, I just shot it again at 100 yards to confirm zero and it's still good ( he did the shooting the first time ). So I decided to shoot a milk jug full of water at 168 yards , this is the furthest...

On Seirras Facebook post and other places, I've read about going to the range shooting great groups and the next visit not so great. Have any of you experienced this before and what did you do to fix it ? Thanks , Ray.

I would like your opinions ! I was very surprised ! Everything hand loaded with rcbs partner press and dies.

This year I'll be using sandbags ( front and rear ) do any of you hold the fore end or do you place your hand at the rear bag while squeezing the trigger with the other ? I see a lot of people shoot with one hand , is this method more precise ? Thanks , Ray

You guys have given me your loads for 3006 before , I would like to know if you guys have worked those loads in cold temps or warm temps ? If you have some for warm temps , how much below max were your loads and do you use your warm temp loads for cold temp hunting ? Thanks , Ray

I was able to buy another 1 lb bottle of IMR 4350 , when I got it home to compare lot number to the first bottle I bought a few months ago , it turned out that they have the same lot number but just a month apart . Will they produce a" lot" for that long ?

Any of you guys have Nosler 3006 brass that weighs 177.0 grains ?

From what I have read , ball powders need mag primers for a starting load ,so what about WLR primers that Nosler calls for ? Are WLRs suitable for cold weather ignition ?

3006 165 gr BT or AB ; H / IMR 4350 with your primer and coal ? Thanks, Ray

I know 3006 should be trimmed to 2.484 , I have the Lyman trimmer that chucks in a drill but it cuts down .007" shorter. is this a concern ? When neck sizing , how do you know if you are sizing the whole neck ?

Knowing every rifle is like a fingerprint , I would like to know who has followed Nosler's data down to their tested COAL and had good results from a factory rifle ? Just curious to know what were some of your first experiences and results of your first time out ? I'm about to get started...
