In my rifle 180 Accubonds and RL26 work good and gets about 2860 FPS. It also shoots 180 Sierras good. With the Sierras something interesting happened. A cow elk was facing me at 450 yards and I held a little to high. Bullet hit neck bone and exited and re-hit elk in back strap and penetrated...

I use JBM for print outs and Shooter on the phone. There is very little difference in them. Regards

It also works good in a 14 inch barrel 357 Herrett. Regards

I have a Rem 700 chambered in 300 Win Mag that has a long throated 26 inch Douglas barrel. With the 180 grain Partition the OAL is 3.6 inches. With IMR 7828 that rifle 3150 FPS and good accuracy. I also have a tang safety Ruger chambered in 280 Remington. IMR 7828 powder and 160 grain...

I got my Ruger tang safety 7X57 probably around 1974-75. This rifle took several deer [5-6] a few antelope and 2 elk all with the Hornady 154 grain bullet and IMR 4350 powder. It is a fine hunting rifle. It's not a real accurate rifle which I think was typical of lots of those "tangers". Regards

I recently got 3000 with 160 Partitions and H4831. Very good accuracy also. Regards

I can sure recommend the 154 Hornady and IMR 4350. It's really done well in my rifle. I have a "tanger" like yours that I bought probably around 1974-75. It's never shot small groups with anything that I remember. Those early Rugers were sort of hit and miss I think. One year I was hunting elk...

For sure my Ruger isn't a tack driver either but it's has put lots of meat on the table. I don't remember any real long shots however. Regards

The 154 Hornady's and IMR 4350 works good in my old Ruger tang safety 7x57. It has accounted for many deer, a few antelope and 2 elk. It just works. Regards

I still have several boxes of 52 grain 22 cal solid bases. My 220 Swift shoot them into very small groups. Also in a long gone 25/06 the 120 solid bases were great. That rifle and bullet killed 2 elk. Regards Semper Fi

In my 300 IMR 7828 works good with both 180 and 200 Partitions. Regards

For the last 2 years I have been shooting a QL suggestion that was worked up on this forum. The load is 63.8 grains RL 26 and the 180 Accubond. Rifle is a stock Rem 700 with a 22 inch barrel and the velocity 2861 FPS. This load has killed 1 cow elk at a range of 453 yards. One shot one kill...

I shoot mostly 160 grain Partitions for hunting and 162 SSTs for off season just shooting at rocks. Some time ago, maybe in October or so Dr Mike did a quick load work up for the 280 that was very interesting. There is very good information on that post. Regards Semper Fi

Orezona, Don't overlook IMR 7828. It works real well in my 280 Ruger. Regards

I have been lurking around here for several years and finally joined the group. I have a 300 that has a 26 inch long throated Douglas barrel and when a 180 Partition is seated with an OAL of 3.6 inches the bullet's base is at the juncture of the shoulder/neck. This barrel was installed back in...
