Very nice, Jim. Thanks for sharing. What vendor did you purchase from?

This is way I have always heard of fall hunting turkeys.

Sometimes in the past, availability was the deciding factor for me. Personally, I prefer Lapua and Norma brass. As Jim wrote above, Lapua is never the wrong choice in brass.

Wow, Ernie. What an adventure! I am sorry to hear of your luggage issues. That would have really upset me. Thank goodness you had set up the hunt with other handgun hunters. You made some great shots and those are fantastic trophies. Congratulations on your patience, skills, and successes.

Nice transformation.

This is good advise. Be aware there are two versions of the 280 A.I. I would suggest the SAAMI approved one. Jim (JD338) can tell you which reloading dies you need for each version of the 280 A.I.

Very nice. She can't help but love it. The fact that her dad did it will make it even more special.

Scotty, How much bullet jump did you use with the 145 LRX?

I had a chance to shoot again today and verified (to my satisfaction) that I have a good load with 72.3 gr. of GRAND with a bullet jump of 0.100". I shot three targets, three shots each, with bullet jumps of 0.090", 0.100" and 0.110". The first two targets pretty much verified my accuracy from...

Ralt, yes, I was single feeding the rounds. My shooting bench is under a tent, and therefore my rifle and ammo were in the shade. After shooting today, I came to the conclusion that the things were just heating up a bit on Friday.

I have read the same thing and try to follow that guideline.

Yes. You are correct. Perhaps seating the bullets deeper was increasing the pressure. But I am not sure that explains the big jump between 3 and 4. I kept the barrel from getting hot by waiting 4-5 minutes between shots.

I am on a quest to develop and non-lead load for one of my rifles to use on deer here in New York when the state mandates the use of non-lead ammo. It could also be used if I ever hunt elk where non-lead loads are required. I decided to utilize my LH Win. M70 chambered in 7mm Rem. Mag. since...

I don't have Grand in my version of Quickload (update 11/01/25). Is there another version out with Grand included?

I used the 150 gr. ABLR in my 7mm WSM in the 2024 deer season and shot two deer with it. It was deadly on whitetail deer. One was a big buck at about 100 yards, facing me. The bullet went in the front of the deer and then hit the spine, destroying probably about a foot of spine, maybe more...
