it’s scheduled for 7 Oct unless there is a cancellation. Hopefully there will be on and I can get it finished sooner. Crosshairs are blurry no matter the ocular lens adjustment. Carries over to my muzzleloader and bows as well.

Well the appt for scheduling the surgery is tomorrow morning with the VA. I’m going to go with long distance vision, because I’m used to wearing glasses to read up close as it is.

All joking aside, I was lucky. It could have just as easily been shrapnel. I like the Magneetospeed platform, but always make sure the spacers are in place.

Posting for a “friend”. Always make sure the rubber spacer is in place on your Magnetospeed chrono. They will come off in the case. Who knew? You see, my “friend” didn’t make sure and found out that Partitions are just as deadly on the sensor as they are on game. Luckily neither the bayonet nor...

AND, I couldn’t leave well enough alone. Loaded some rounds with RL23 and the 130gr Partitions. I’m going to see if they perform satisfactorily tomorrow. I have almost 11 lbs of it and it does really well in my 7mm Rem Mag. Maybe it will do as well with the 270 WSM.

I just put a McGowan barrel on my 308 Win. With only a few rounds down the tube it will put 3 150gr E-Tips in one hole with H4895. Looks like it’s going to be a pretty good barrel.

I've picked up a workable surplus of Staball HD that I'd like to work up for it. I'm thinking I'll use it with E-tips. They seem to build pressure very fast in this rifle so maybe the slow Winchester HD will be the ticket. It seems to build. pressure quickly with everything I've tried to be...

Finally settled on IMR7827 SSC pushing a 130gr Partition at 3230+ fps for deer this fall. Its not the fastest load I could have came up with but i'd be hard pressed to come up with a load that will be more reliable. It will punch through both shoulders if needed, and will make a Texas heart shot...

Between my 7828 ladder test, and Mikes kindness with Quickload I should have arrived at a load by Thursday if the planets align. The range opens Wednesday so I can fire the ladder for 7828, and RL23, and Ill shoot the results for groups on Thursday.

This may be a Quickload I use imediately as well. https://forum.nosler.com/threads/ql-request-270-wsm-rl-23.37851/

I've got a ladder loaded with 7828, WLRM primers, and 130gr Partitions for my 270 WSM. Started at 63 grains and stopped it at 67.5. 63 grains isn't the absolute minimum load listed for Hodgdon, but should be plenty safe as a start. I'm curious if any of you have any loads with this powder logged...

Imr4831 works well with 100gr bullets in the 243 Win. I don’t see why Hunter wouldn’t as well.

I’m at a loss for words on your find. Exquisite, plain and simple. Congratulations.

I have a Remington 783 in 308 Win that I just put a 26” McGowen barrel, and PT&G bolt head on it. I was only looking to get it on paper but zero’d it and completed load work up with 3 rounds. First 3 rounds down the tube went into one hole, 1” left and 1 1/4” high. at 100 yards. I didn’t have my...
