Oh man I love these chrony's!! Well done, having one they certainly make range days very fulfilling. I had a hard time making the decision but then once I did the "buy once-cry once" decision there's been no looking back. I get a lot of onlookers at the range; once they see them in action they...
These velocities the manufacturers publish...I rarely take note of them to much of a degree. More often than not, they are using test barrels that are premium and long. Not typically an over the counter, affordable 22" variety. I will look at their data to see out of the list of powders which...
I 100% agree with you...I too have played with that .270 load and my start charge was 300fps or more slower than theirs! Granted I am at sea level below freezing temps and it was very dense air, but nowhere close.
Good points. Both 24" barrels 1:8" different primers and brass...and Hodgdon stops at 60K like you mentioned.
But wow...of all the differences I have seen between sources, this one is the king lol.
Hi there,
It's nothing new, the variations in load data between Nosler and the manuals (editions), Hodgdon site, bullet manufacturers, etc... Most of the group know how to navigate the waters of such, find a good place to start and then slowly start working your way up, safely. However, last...
You are corrrect unfortunately. Canada is so overtly progressive we are going backwards...yet, strangely, there is no law against me bringing primers into the country. Perfectly legal. Canada customs wouldn't have a concern at all. But USA has them as controlled ITAR classified item...they are...
Just so you know, no hard feelings. :) I have always had a soft spot for my neighbors to the south. The whole world seems to be on edge...I'll just steer well clear of Gen Z here in my home country and pray for a time in the future and maybe we can at least find some center on the pendulum to...
Really appreciate your input, thank you!
Wolff is a no fit. Pre-2008 only.
Tubb..I can't get in touch with them...I am out of country so they obviously have an international call filter for the phone. They have not replied to my email. I have a relative in the lower 48 who will likely have to...
Unfortunately for me, I am in Canada. The complex process of ITAR regulations is such that there is no simple way for them to make it right. A couple years ago I ran through three boxes of Nosler brass that were so messed up (tooling marks on the neck and shoulder) and one box had 13 shoulders...
I have had bad luck with Winchester primers this past year.. Three in the last year. Mellow loads. Cut the face of my Tikka real bad. Recent one in my other rifle pinholed but didn't cut the face.
Good day all,
I may be having issues with soft strikes caused by a weak spring. I have a thread going in the reloading section after noticing some soft strikes on new brass and also, noticing from Google research that this is not a new problem for some post 2008 production Model 70's. After much...
