I have the same press as Guy Miner, I love it. I have 2 turret plates, one holds 9mm and 5.56 and the other my 45 and 300 win mag. I like the idea of a progressive, but I don't think I would like the execution of it. I don't trust anything that much so I inspect each part of every round, the...

Great responses! As previously stated, I have become an accuracy snob. For every animal I have killed, a 2 MOA rifle would have sufficed. My current rifle, a Nosler M48 in 300 win mag, currently shoots 1/2 to 3/4 moa at 200 yds if I do my part with 200gr AB. Yet, for me, I am still not...

I did a ladder today from 72.7- 76.6 with H1000. Very good accuracy in the 74.5 range. Tomorrow I will load up some more from 76-78 and another batch in the 74.5. The 74 gr range had 2, 4 shot groups, that were 1/2-3/4 MOA at 200yds. I am more than pleased with accuracy, now I wish I had a...

I have been shooting the 25-06 for 20+ years. I have shot the 117 Hornady for most of the time. It has killed 20ish whitetails and a few muley's. I just ordered some 110 AB to try out. Pretty excited to see what they can do. I have now transitioned all my rifles to Nosler AB's. What does...

I have some H4831 at home as well. Please let me know how it goes for you. I loaded up 18 rounds, 3 shot rungs from 72.7-76.6. Friday I will see how it goes.

Thank you very much!

I picked up some 200gr accubond for my M48 Western today. I also grabbed some H1000. I don't see the load data on the website for H1000. Can anyone recommend a start point? I see posts from 72-76gr but I am really looking for a safe start load to work up from. WLRM primer, Nosler Brass...

Thanks for the replies again. My next and last assignment will likely be to either Colorado or Alaska. Here in El Paso, low temps are definitely not the problem. Higher temps for sure. I am really looking for a good powder that will perform well here for Oryx, and either Alaska or Colorado...

Great responses, thank you very much!

Excuse my generalization, bad habit. I never thought about the availability of powder. Thanks Second question, I have read, on the internet and you can't put anything that isn't true on the internet, about RL 22 having issues with temperature swings. Especially on the colder side. I...

I have a M48 western that I am about to start reloading for. I have seen numerous messages and discussions about RL22 with 180 AB's. I am curious as to why everyone prefers the RL 22 vice the H1000 when Nosler recommends their most accurate load was the H1000? I appreciate your feedback...
