Hi there, have been shooting factory loads out of my Browning in 6.8 Western with great results, especially the 175 grain Sierra TGKs. I would like to load up the 165 grain ABLRs and was hoping someone could run a Qwik load for me, please and thank you. I load for many calibers but this one is...
Browning X-Bolt arrived yesterday (demo rifle) and priced right after Christmas. I have 4 x boxes of Winchester 165 grain ABLRs and after a couple of shots to get it on paper, I flung out a nice 3/4" group right off the hop. Recoil is light, its naturally accurate and I have to admit, whats not...
Reviving the post and just purchased (horse traded LOL) a clean 307 Winchester AE and I really like it. Ammo is not the best selection but I did see the load data with RL-17 WOW! In the research I have done, no one has tried RL-17, Big Game, or W-760? Thinking the powder capacity with a deep...
Soooo the Savage Ultralite with the Proof barrel, has been excellent. StaBall 6.5 (59.0 grs) Lapua brass and Fed210GM primers along with 168 grain Nosler ABLRs has shown to produce nice sub one inch groups easily! The ballistics are impressive as well with some serious long range energy.
I have such a variety of rifles and reloading material, and no need to justify the reason why, you can't have too much right? Anyways, looking down the line up (243, 257 Bee, 6.5 PRC, 300 Win Mag, 300 RUM, 35 Whelen and dads old 30-06 in a clean Belgian BAR, I just wanted a nice, light walking...
New powders have definitely assisted the 35 Whelen for sure. Using CFE 223 I have lofted 225 grain Game Kings and Accubonds well over 2800 fps out of my 24" gain twist barrel. I could push more but why....its a hammer. The loads I worked up for the 200 grain TTSX were 2950 fps in the standard...
The 35 definitely performs....but that quick load data hmmmm I load my Whelen, RP brass, Fed 210GM primers and 225 grain Accubonds @ 67 grains of CFE 223. I do not have flat primers! I get it, it's not the only indicator but that is interesting for sure. BTW 67 grains is a common load from...
I love the Whelen, load pretty much all 225 grain fodder, with Varget I did manage to hit 2800 fps and get the partitions and Accubonds to hit the same spot, bonus! Mine is a 24 inch gain twist on a Remington Action done by the oldest barrel make in Alberta, shes MOA with Sierra GK's...
