nice speed out of that bad boy . a 175 GR bullet , at 3100 FPS . be like getting hit by a truck

I'm not sure if it was mentioned earlier in this thread , but is worth mentioning again, even if it was . don't call to them unless you are hunting . they get wise and call shy fast . looks like a nice spur on him too . congrats again .

if it doesn't push through a whitetail's shoulder , I'll eat my hat .

this is a perfect description of the partition bullet . I've said many times , if I could only use one bullet for hunting , the partition would be it . I'd never feel like I was missing out on anything , by using it exclusively . accuracy is easy to find , and they work great for...

well done , now that's how you do it . congrats on a fine bird .

I've stacked up a bunch of groundhogs using the 7mm 140GR VLD hunting . from probably 100 yards to about 700 yards . I have used a 338 , 300 gr elite hunter on a whitetail . for normal everyday hunting , I haven't used them . Be sure the hollow point hole is open on the ones you...

grand must not have made it into quickload yet ? I don't see it on Dr Mikes chart , and he's usually up to date on the latest quickload .

here is a good thread . https://forum.nosler.com/threads/reduced-recoil-load.42158/ the 107 TMK bullet test thread . https://forum.nosler.com/threads/sierra-107-tipped-matchking.42230/ I have numerous threads, and replies on reduced loads though .

looking at Dr Mikes chart , I'd be looking at ; RL26 , N560 , MRP , MAG PRO . good case fills , and good velocity .

man it's nice to deal with a good company . big thumbs up to RCBS , (y)

I'll mention this first so it's covered , or I'll forget . kids relate the bang with the kick . always have them wear ear plugs "AND" muffs . the quieter it is the less it will kick . I've done a fair amount of these reduced loads . I'll give you how I'd do this , you can pick out what you...

Paul , I took a decent sized Kansas whitetail up close with a 7mm / 175 ABLR . I think my velocity is 3150FPS . I shot him at around 30 or 40 yards . this bullet blew junk out the off side of the deer . it was impressive how he dropped . I don't remember him having a big hole , or...

@RL338 , let us know when you get this up and running , I'll be interested in what you think . definitely cool stuff . I'm going to guess two summers ago , we were sitting out looking at the stars . we saw the satellite train , pretty neat sight to see .

seems to be a typical Tikka . I don't think I've heard any complaints on accuracy from the Tikka rifles . the ones I've handled are silky smooth too . the bolt feels like it rides on ball bearings. I don't have a T-3 , I have the 595 whitetail hunter . at the start , I wasn't crazy about...

I used to do a lot of indoor bullseye pistol shoots through the winter months . a bunch of guys switched to the copper plated bullets trying to keep the lead dust tamped down a little . these clubs all have some type of ventilation systems , the air still gets fairly smokey . one season 2...
