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...

HUH , who Da thunk Dat ?

a dusting of snow on the ground , yesterday morning . 19* this morning . looking like a two coffee morning again . a few days ago , I was replacing some boards on my deck railing . there was a gobbler over on posted ground going nuts . he carried on from about 10am to about 2 pm ...

that's a great feature . from what I've seen with satellite dishes , this is the downfall during the winter . this is one of those " great Ideas" I had , that never got tried . I was going to put a magnet engine block heater on the back side of my dish , to see if it would keep it clear...

that's what I see too , the FED 215's are purple , match and standard .

that's neat , congrats .

at $5 per pail , in the stores , I'd be looking for cheaper test material ;)
