That’s great thank you I’ll give it a try

Sorry if this has been discussed before I did a search and didnt come up with much. Maybe I didn’t enter the right buzz words but I did do a search. I’m trying to get a .243 I have, ready for my daughter she is going to try and do a doe hunt right after we 10th birthday next November and I want...

Well here is what I get with 140 TSX's and IMR 4350 Ill try that with some E-tips and see what I get. As you can see it's a great load but I'm just trying to chase a little speed in the off season and the slightly better BC will help as well. I would like to get expansion out to 600 yards but...

Hi guys I dont hang out on this forum much but I know its the go to place for Nosler help so I'm reaching out. I built a .280 ai to strictly shoot monolithics I live California and I don't think I can even shoot lead next deer season and there are already restrictions all over the state. Anyways...

Its a 7mm rem mag I have a shilen barrel on it that shot like crap sent it back to them and they recrowned it and fixed a bedding problem for me. Now its shooting very good I've worked up to 63 grains of RL-22 and accuracy keeps getting better so I'll keep increasing the load.

So I finally headed to the range today to try the loads I'm making for my buddies .270 and I was also going to shoot my 7mag and a 30-06 I just did my first barrel swap on. When I was getting set up I pulled out the box of .270 shells it opened up unexpectedly and all the shells fell to the...

Thanks for the advice I'm going to have to stick with the rl-22 I don't have enough H-4831 on hand to load up any more than a few test shells. Stuck at work for a couple days then its off to the range Monday. I'll try and post up results

I'm working on reloading for a friend of mines .270 he hasn't had much time and we have a cow elk hunt the first of nov. so any way he brings me his rifle brass bullets 130 AB's dies and powder. I prep prime find the lands make a dummy round with an OAL of 3.393. When I go to load up a couple he...

Thanks for the tips guys the tang is good on this rifle so next I'll load up shells in groups of three going .010 less from where I'm at now until things tighten up then I'll go back to messing with powder. Sound like a decent plan?

I was going to doit myself but at the last minute I decided to send the action and barrel and have them finish it up for me. I can't imagine that kevin would leave the tang like that he knows his Savages but I'll check

I took my new build out today and it didn't group for shat. Its a savage 116 timed and trued action, machined recoil lug, shilen heavy sporter in 7mag 1:9, Stockade fiberglass stock bedded and assembled by Stockade. I loaded up 40 shells all using 150 NBT all touching the lands 20 of them were...

Dr.Mike that pic of the Moose makes me feel a little better about the E-tips I feel that the lead ban will go stetewide eventualy and I would like to just set up my rifle for one bullet to do anything. What do you think the effective rage would be on a 150 E-tip I read that you need the Nosler...

Thanks yeah its a 7mm Rem Mag. and its a 26 inch Shilen with a 1:9 I see alot of guys seem to prefer the 140's or the 160's it that because of the Accubond or the weight I like the Accubonds but the cost keeps me from shooting them too much so I thought I would just stick with the BT's I also...

Although I'm sure the topic has been talked about a million times over for some reason my search attempts are coming up empty when I look for anything to do with 7mm's. I have a Savage en-route back to my from a smith in Nebraska this is my first semi-custom project. Savage 116 pre accu-trigger...

Thanks guys I love the Accubond and was getting great results with 47.5 of 4350 but the 115 BT's are so much cheaper when I just want to throw a bunch of lead
