Working up a load for a friend in 28 Nosler.
RL-33 is doing great with 195 Berger EOLs.
Problem is that RL-33 is scarce as hen's teeth.
Anyone tried WC872? My buddy HTDUCK on here used it in his 7mm STW with great success. Similar cartridge . . .
Looking for powder options for the...
I'm considering this caliber for my next build.
I know most are going with a short action. Make sense to build on a long action to take advantage of more room with the longer bullets?
Looking at a 1:7 barrel for longer, heavier bullets. 75gr AMAX, or some of the new 90gr+ pills.
I haven't decided if I want to go this route. Just thinking out loud.
Good afternoon, fellas. Haven't been around in a while.
BUT . . . the RADD has kicked in, and I'm pondering a new toy. I'm going to buy a donor Rem 700 long action from a buddy, and looking for calibers that I "need". :)
With all the recent hype about the .224 Valkyrie, I thought - why...
Now that the season is over, tinkering on this load workup again with some different bullets.
Looks like she really likes RL-22 and a 129g ABLR.
Dr.Mike, can you run the QL on this combination? Thanks!
I've been doing barrel break-in and load development on my Dad's Mauser 98 re-barrel. It is a 26" X-caliber 8 twist. Seems like it wants to be a shooter.
Anyway, I shot 50 rounds of new Norma brass on Saturday during break-in. Then on Sunday I sized, trimmed, and started doing load...
Will do. I went with the SS barrel. I've been through break-in and fire formed 80 rounds. Started development yesterday with 100gr TTSXs and she really like them with Hybrid 100v. But after discussion over on that thread I didn't realize it was temperature sensitive. I'm going to retest...
I'll be following this discussion. Shot some test groups with .25-06AI this morning to find a powder to start load development. H4831, H4350, H1000, Hybrid 100v, RL22. The best group of them all was Hybrid 100v, 1" group at 200yds and 85 degrees.
I was about to ask the temperature question...
After a couple of years arguing with my son's Mauser 98 in 25-06, I recently got it back from the gunsmith, sporting a new Shilen 26" 1:9 barrel in 25-06AI.
80 fireform loads down the tube with new brass and just started load development this morning. Going to start with 100 TTSXs and maybe...
