I just got some 350 Hot Cors and want to try them with IMR 3031 in my Henry. Looking at the Hodgeden Site they say 56.5gr is min/2022fps and 60.0c is max/2135fps, so I loaded 5 up at 57.0gr and now I'm questioning if they are safe?? With 57.0gr, there was some compression of the powder and I'm...

I'm looking for a little information. Does anyone know the COAL of Weatherby factory ammo in 300WBY with 180 AccuBonds?

I have a Sako 300WBY that I haven't shot much in the past due to the recoil. Last summer, I had a local smith put a brake on it for me and the recoil is very easy to handle. With the mild winter, I have been working on finding a good load but it was been a nightmare. I've tried 2 scope, 2...

I'm trying to come up with a list of barrel makers who will also install their barrels. So far I have Douglas and Hells Canyon. Any others I should look into? I'm thinking about putting a new barrel on my dad's Rem 700 mnt rifle. I would like to keep it 30-06 and roughly the same contour and...

One of my goals for 2024 is to get an accurate load for my Henry 45-70 so I can hunt the thick timber with shots out to 50 yards. I threw together a few loads last fall when I got the rifle. I tried H4198 but it was ugly. Today I bumped up the charge and it did not improve. I also have a...

My hope is to have my 338-06 back soon after Christmas. I have never used the TTSX bullet and am wondering what one you recommend. The 210gr at 2700fps or the 185gr at 2900. The goal will be to deer and maybe elk and moose with the rifle. 400 yards would be the max distance on elk and moose...

It was my turn to punch my archery buck tag this weekend. I hunted hard from Nov 4 to Nov 12. In that time period, I hunted 7 days and spend 75 hours in a stand. Sunday morning was good and I was seeing deer. At 12:15, I was starving and forgot to pack my food so I climbed down, and ran to...

Having many of the 06 family rounds, I was thinking about a 338-06 but have a few questions about options for the project. I have my dad's 30-06 that I would like to have JES rebore but I don't have permission from him yet. If that option doesn't work, what rifle would you look at buying in a...

Well my wife did it again!!! This weekend the weather was perfect for hunting in WI. My wife and I hunted together Saturday and had a great day. She couldn't hunt Sunday morning because of her master's program but at 11AM she text me and said she was going solo to a different property than I...

Since there is no other group on the internet who can spend a guy's money, like the guys on Nosler Forum, I figured I would bring my latest idea here to see what everyone thinks. I have not bought a new rifle in a while due to other wants and wishes but I have the bug real bad. I'm thinking...

The last manual I bought was Nosler 7. I'm looking to maybe buy a new manual. Any recommendations?

My friend bought a new Tikka 7-08 and I'm helping him get started in reloading. Today we took his Starline brass and prepped it up and loaded up 10 rounds. This is where I hit some confusion. He has 130 Hot Cors and IMR4350 for his loads. Speer manual says, 46.0 gr for a staring load and...

I have always dreamed of hunting mountain lions out west. For this hunt I I used my great grandfather's 30-30 that has never hunted before. He won it in a bar and gave it to my uncle who doesn't hunt. Because of the history, I figured it would be cool to use. I will give a quick recap of my...

Quick question, where is the best place to find a donor rifle? I'm looking for a Rem 700 or Savage that I can rebarrel myself? I would really like a short action with a 308 bolt face. Any suggestions?

Hey guys. It has been stressful at work so to stop my brain from overload, I started thinking about fun stuff. In talking to Scotty, he mentioned a 22cm with a fast twist to shoot the heavy bullets. I'm wondering if anyone has messed with one? I have a lead on a Savage 110 action in 30-06...

I'm starting the process of saving up for a Henry Side Gate in 45-70. I'm looking at the model with the brass receiver. My one requirement is that it has to come from the Rice Lake factory. Does anyone have any information on these rifles and how they shoot? I would really like to shoot cast...

After hunting season last year, my dad left his Rem 700 Mnt Rifle with me to clean. (I think it was his way of saying here is my rifle, I want you to have it). After I got it cleaned, I wanted to see if I could find a load for it. Up to this point he used Federal Fusion ammo with good...

I've been invited to apply/hunt private land in CO for antelope during the muzzleloader season. It is unit 116-117. The connection said that there are antelope, but not the numbers like WY? With this being said, has anyone hunted or been in the area near the KS boarder north of I-70 and seen...

For my 7-08 project, I'm looking at a Grayboe stock. Just wondering if anyone has used on and how they like them.

I tried some IMR4350 with some 165 hot cors this weekend and got really low speeds. 57.4-2612/57.7-2592/58-2625. I didn't have pressure signs. Woud you keep climbing or switch to something else? I have some RL22 and H4350. Thanks
