Nice work Jim. Damn you photobucket. LOL

My levers love that stuff. The 30-30 and the 45-70 like them also. All Marlins.

90 cal! Man that is some expansion there.

As previously mentioned it would not hurt to experiment. I will be doing this shortly. Winter weather in Wyoming is not shooter friendly with winds and temps. I have a friend's 6.5 Creed that is currently loaded with Staball and CCI 250 Large Magnum Rifle primers. He needs a load for his...

Personally I would trust that 350 Speer on one of your water buffs down there! On a separate note if you have grown tired of photobucket polluting your pictures with banners, like most of us are, may I suggest imgur? https://imgur.com/ I do not know why they do that. One can not post a clean...

I wish I had such results. Good shooting Jim...as usual.

I am pretty systematically anal when it comes to my loads. If the brass is not virgin then they will be annealed at a minimum by 2 firings. I followed CE President's Daniel Smitchko's advise on loading them with the groove in the neck so they can fit in the magazine.

I guess or the bullet is not seating squarely? Who knows?

Of course. They did not like that groove inside the neck. Only way I can explain it. This was with 30-378, 300 RUM etc. Again this was a few years ago. I was not going to spend that kind of $$$ just to try them in my 8mm Rem Mag.

Been saying this for YEARS!!!! The ONLY ABLR I ever got to shoot well was the 6.5mm 142 gr. This was in a Ruger #1 264 Win mag. Not in any other 6.5mm rifle either. The only load, the only gun, the only diameter.

For comparison purposes.....Even though we are getting off the 8mm track. :p

Pretty much...... horrible! Also tried the Raptors with the tip in my 378 Bee I had years ago. I could not break 1.5" with a Krieger barrel. The only awesome (and ) acceptable load I found with Cutting edge bullets was with the CE laser in my 375 BAS. (Cheytac IMP) . Single feed bullet...

I always liked the 8x68. When I was stationed in Germany in the '90s I almost bought a 6.5 * 68 Schuler.

I'm down to about 18 lb now

They advise to seat at the groove for optimum performance. I tried once to seat deeper past the groove (as advised by the owner just to see) but it did not work out. It was a while ago using 30 caliber bullets
