thanks guys. reading this site (and taking yall's advice) makes loading much easier. ...and I still haven't shot 150s with RL22. the good news is: load work is FUN! the 7rm is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I love a rifle with enough recoil to let you know it went off. that one is a...

finally got a chance to shoot some test loads through the savage 7rem. either this rifle is amazing, this caliber is super easy to load for or I'm just lucky. this thing seems to like almost anything. now, I just have to decide which one to work on. it has a lot of potential. this is my first...

.358 Btip? I'll take 500 please.

I have used the superformance factory rounds with the 200gr spire point. they chrono at 2889 in my 22" tube. I shot one deer with them. it was a 170# buck at about 17 yards. the shot was just behind the shoulder and took chunks of rib through the exit. the blood trail was 2 feet wide. the deer...

OT, can you post or PM your load data to me? what is your MV with 7828 and the 160? the data I see is around 2850. there is some imr-7828 in one of the local shops but its not SSC. thanks for the QL data. I would love to see the 140gr CT @ 3200. I'm watching SPS for some heavier bullets...

rain cut my range trip short. I was able to get started on break in and fire form a few cases. 66gr of RL 22 with 140gr CT was 3120fps with MOA accurancy and light recoil. the trigger is awesome. I was impressed with the accuracy from unfired cases with really no load work at all. working up to...

yes sir. its a 7 rem mag. savage 111 with accutrigger and DBM topped with a monarch 2.5-10x50. all I have done so far is adjust the trigger and measure distance to the lands. there isn't much freebore in this rifle. max length for the magazine will touch the rifling. the only bullets I have on...

I never imagined it could take so long to get all the pieces together to load some rounds. everything has been backordered or out of stock. the only thing I haven't been able to get is some IMR 4350. I'm looking forward to getting some rounds on paper to see how she shoots. =P

awesome! I have 2 x7 and they both shoot great. one of the best values in hunting rifles. if they only offered a 24" barrel and maybe a few mag calibers..... great shooting btw. =P

how about a 200gr accubond @ 2808fps that hits a deer like a truck and has a sight window from 0-235 yards?

RL19 and RL22 are in about every shop around here(jackson, MS). most of our stores have at least one kind of every size primer. last week I was in shreveport, la. the bass pro over there had quite a bit of powder and no primers at all. I loaded up on longshot for the new range officer. they had...

9mm and .380 with titegroup. 3.9gr and a 115 fmj is 1100fps in my glock 34.

found a new savage 10 in 7mm rem this morning for $299. I couldn't say no. I'll be digging through yalls load info. whats a good starting point for a 24" tube? whats the happy spot in bullet weight for distance vs velocity? 160? I can't wait to get started on this one. I very excite!

great powder in my 7mm-08 with the 120bt

I really like longshot for the .40. clean powder, shoots well.
