I love it! Congrats on some fun times and some fine table fare.

Thank you! Sorry for the double post. Don't know what I did there. Doh!!

It appears that I have "double posted" this topic somehow. I am so sorry. Anyway, I have only handloaded for this rifle. I can't see spending $60-$80/box for ammo. Not when I can make good loads on my own. Load is 200 grain Accubond, Winchester brass, WLRM primer and RS Big Game powder...

Been a tough hunt for me this winter finding success. I had all but given up, but yesterday I pulled myself off the couch and made to 1 hour drive to my unit and went after my cow elk. Typically, I end up hiking for 5-9 miles round trip to get into the elk and get one out. We always wait...

Easy choice for me. I only have three rifles so I would take them. Tikka T3 Lite in 7-08 with 140 Nosler Accubonds Winchester Model 70 with match grade 7mm Rem Mag Shillen barrel cut at 26" with 175 ABLR Kimber Montana 325 WSM with 200 grain Accubonds. Yep, I am pretty happy with those three...

Love it! Congrats to these kids and to you.

I have been seeing consistent and excellent accuracy with IMR7828ssc, cci250 primers and Nosler brass. I was dialing my turret and hitting targets to 700 just a week ago. Really pleased and look forward to seeing how they perform on elk.

Thanks you guys!

So I just picked up some SPS seconds in .284 175 ABLR. Was surprised to learn I had ordered some with a cannelure. Any reason to expect the need of a different load combination? How about added drag or effect on the flight of the bullet? The cannelure doesn't line up to where I seat the...

I love my Kimber Montana in this underrated cartridge. Unfortunately, I haven't had many opportunities to hunt with it yet, but the one chance she had, proved herself perfectly. One shot at a cow elk from 330 yards with my hand loaded 200 grain Accubond and my hunt was over. It shows an...

I love this site! Thank you so much for your help. FH

So my little package arrived from UPS today. I am now anxious to begin load development for my 325 wsm. Anyone have the ability to run some quick load data for me? I am shooting a Kimber Montana with Winchester brass and I am looking for data with RE17, IMR4007ssc, H4350, and Ramshot Big...

Congratulations. Nothing better than a freezer full of elk meat...except maybe a grill full of elk meat :grin:

Wild gene, I want to shoot some 220 Sierras in my 325 wsm, but haven't been able to find them locally. Based on this topic, I ordered some from Powder Valley tonight. The swift bullet seems like a good idea, but I have a 7mm Mag for those "light" bullets :wink: I bought my 325 to be an elk...
