Welcome! It looks like that load really works well for you. Have you used that load to take anything else?

I'm shooting 154 gr, not 150s. I found IMR4350 to be a good powder with them.

I have a 96/44 also. I used it to take a 146 class whitetail at 153 yards on the marsh. I didn't drop in its tracks, but only went about 80 yards. It was before I had started handloading for .44 Rem Mag, and was using 240 gr Winchester ammunition that was really meant for a handgun. For some...

It would be surprising that Cabela's and Bass Pro would be associated with a card company that is anti-gun.

I have the Capital One/ Cabela's card and have not had an issue with it getting denied. I do occasionally receive a text from them , if I've made a large purchase. On another issue with using cards are restaurants that add 3- 3.5% to the tab for using it. For what they're charging for what I see...

Reloader 15 with 225 grain SGK. My second choice for powder is H4895.

That is a great rifle, and I'm looking forward to hear how it shoots. The 6.5X55 is an ideal white tail cartridge, but it can do so much more.

The Sierra 225 gr with Reloader 17 has been a match made in heaven for my son's Remington 7600 chambered in 35 Whelen.

For me, a 200 gr is plenty. But if you want to go heavier, that is fine too.

That is a find worth having!

Nice looking and well planned. I'm thinking it will be a shooter.

They may increase friction, but when I was shooting moly coated bullets they seemed to reduce copper fouling. The ones that I was shooting became unavailable, so I moved away from the moly.

My .257 Roberts was chambered in a Remington model 722, which is a short action. I seated my bullets to a OAL of .010" off the end of the magazine box. This insured that they would feed and they were still well off the lands. I've always been under the belief that published COAL is based on some...

I purchased my Co-Ax (Bonanza) press in 1965. Forster later acquired them. This press has been used to load tens of thousands of rounds and still loads extremely accurate ammunition (no signs of any play). Forster continues to support my original press and has incorporated several upgrades to it...

It's funny as long as you didn't get hurt. I'm 74 years old I gave my climber to a young neighbor last fall. He had been using his dad's and was going to buy one. It was time for me to let it go.
