Excellent shooting! I've become a big fan of the ABLR's and have taken several deer with them including out of a 6.5 PRC. What kind of velocity are you getting with N565 and the 142's?

It's scary when that happens. Luckily I've only had that happen twice. Once with a .45 ACP reload where I forgot powder and the other with a factory 9mm. The 45 went off and stovepiped and the bullet lodged in the barrel just enough to keep the next round from chambering all the way and saved my...

Hodgdon's online data center shows load data for the 140gr Hornady ELD-M bullet, but that data will work. Start on the low end and work up. https://hodgdonreloading.com/rldc/

I inherited a RCBS Jr from my dad, who bought it from my godfather. I still load all my rifle loads on it and can only imagine the amount of rounds that have been cranked out on it over the years. It's cool to see so many people who use/used one on the forum. I got a Hornady LNL progressive...

For which cartridge?

The Partition, Accubond, Accubond LR, Ballistic Tip and Solid Base are all excellent deer bullets. All of the above, minus the Solid Base are a substantial step up from the Core-lokt. None of the Nosler bullets are too "hard" for deer, even small ones. The front core on the Partition is quite...

With that 7.5 twist, you can shoot all the new heavy high BC 25 cal bullets and still shoot the lighter 100-120gr bullets just fine. I wish my 257 Weatherby had the fast twist.

I have killed quite a few deer and hogs with Nosler's bullets in a 257 Roberts with a 24" barrel including the 100 & 115gr Ballistic Tip, 100 & 115gr Partition and the 110gr Accubond. My favorites are the 110gr Accubond and 100gr Partition. I've had excellent results with all of the them. My 257...

Cool looking rifles. I say go 30-06, one of my favorite calibers. The same modern powders that make the 308 better do the same in the 30-06. H4350, Reloder 17, Hunter and Staball 6.5 etc make the ol' warhorse a standout and that much better.

I love both X-Bolt 2's (and Brownings in general) & Tikka's. I have no experience with any CVA's. My X-Bolt 2 is a 7mm PRC that's been awesome and I have a Tikka Super Varmint in 6.5 PRC that's also fantastic. Both have been extremely accurate with multiple loads and have killed several deer. I...

I don't have a specific load but my Springfield gets fed a lot of 200gr SWC's over Titegroup and Win231/HP-38. I've used Hornady HAP, Oregon Trail and cast my own that are a copy of the famous H&G 68 mold. All have been extremely accurate with loads on the lighter side but that would function...

I don't think I've ever killed a thing with 180's in the 30-06. I've killed quite a few deer and hogs with 150's over the years with everything from Hornady Interlocks, Interbonds, & SST's, Core-Lokts, Federal Fusion, Winchester Power Points, Speer Hot-Cor, Barnes TSX, and Nosler BT's, AB's and...

Nice shooting! She's a keeper. Hopefully it'll shoot as well or better with handloads. I'm looking forward to trying some other powders in mine.

And more choices for the consumer is a win in my book.

Nostalgia and price point?
