I wish that's all it was! 🤣🤣 Summer is just getting started and I'm already tired of sticking to everything I touch, truck seat, windowsill, center counsel, lawn chair, myself, recliner, etc, etc.

I noticed that when checking the weight of each charge, several of them were 0.01gr +/- from the target weight. Around here the humidity rarely drops below 50% during the summer months, when the crops start drying out for harvest the humidity gets worse which is caused by what is known as "Corn...

This is what I've started doing...a turret press would be nice right about now! 🙃

Well…I didn’t expect that to happen!! 🤦‍♂️ Decided to try using GRT’s optimized data for my .270 WSM after the results I seen here. As I was wrapping up and putting things away, my clumsy butt(hand) managed to knock the MTM ammo box containing the forty rounds I’d loaded, all over my bench...

Beings one of the FAQ's Federal has mentioned with this product on their website is to check with the manufacture for compatibility with existing rifles. I'm interested in knowing where the gun makers stand on this.

Something to keep in mind, when the 6,8 Western made its debut Nosler bullets were on the verge of extinction and when a retailer would finally get some in stock there would be restrictions on how many boxes could be purchased.

A few match shooters around here are using VV N565, N568 and N570 as a replacement for RL25 and RL26.

After a few months of extensive reading and some tutorial videos on YouTube inbetween the gazillion other things life has been throwing at me lately, I picked up on a feature that I didn't know GRT had when I first started using it. This first screenshot is the default data that GRT has with...

Just looking for some input...anyone here have firsthand experience (good or bad) with either of the following? Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite Stainless CVA Cascade Long Range Hunter Tikka T3x Roughtech I've been on the prowl over the past five years for a 6.5 PRC, two things I'm standing...

Hopefully this doesn't manifest into the conditions that central and eastern Nebraska experienced in early 2019. We'd had close to two feet of snow on the ground from storms in February then in early March we had some more storms pass through that dumped substantial amounts of rain on the...

I had my hands on the dies and brass for the 6.5 Creedmoor for over a year before I finally found the rifle I wanted, my .270 WSM was over ten years.

Well, I just got myself one of them there fancy new croneyographs by Garmin for Christmas and the weather was reasonable that day so I just had to try it out!! 🙃 Now I don't have to worry about putting holes in it when ladder testing. Tested two other loads that same day and the velocities from...

I ran into something similar a couple weeks ago with my .270 WSM. Both Hodgdon and Lyman manuals list 68gr-71gr of Retumbo with a 140gr projectile, both publications show velocities ranging from the upper 2900's to the lower 3100's, whereas Sierra's most recent publication lists 61gr-67gr. for...

I appreciate your input...I agree with the possibility of a tighter chamber. I cleaned the barrel between the other two loads I tested that day, one with the same bullet/brass combination but using MagPro and Fed 215 primers per Nosler's published data. Because of the great Nosler bullet...

Could someone please run the following through QuickLoad? Is it common for book velocities to be as much as 300fps slower than real velocities? My intuition is telling me that something is off though I'm not quite sure what or where. Cartridge: .270 WSM Case: R-P Projectile: Nosler BT 140gr...
