Hit it with Tempilaq and get it dialed in. Both cases look fine to me, but tempilaq is too easy to use and get it nailed down.

I’m with Joe. For 800 bucks you cannot be harmed if you didn’t like it.

That’s a great load. Mimics what I do with the Mashburn Super and I haven’t found a better killing load to date.

Way to go! What a great way to use that old rifle!

Hope you have a great hunt Sorry to hear of your mothers passing.

I’m never surprised to see a velocity swing of even a 100fps between lots of even the best powders known. It happens. Nowadays I expect it and adjust accordingly. Back when I got my first Mashburn I developed a load with 160 ABs and H1000, the load clocked right at 3200. Next bottle was 3050...

Cool tool. Thank you.

Put some good solvent on a patch, get the bore wet. Brush it with nylon, 20 strokes, run a wet patch. If you wanna attack a carbon ring, get some JB or Iosso and work the throat.

Those made me remember my little stash of .458 300 grain PTs. Man, I’d love those 260 PTs for my 454 Casull!

I’d give it a shot at max length using RL26. That’ll be your best bet to see if it’s worth pursuing. If it works, I’d guess you’ll be in the 2800+ range for speed. That load would take you way out past 600 yard while maintaining plenty of speed to expand. I have a 7x57 Mauser coming any day...

It’s funny how elk season sneaks up and happens every dang year. I know every year, I tell myself to start getting stuff ready, then all the sudden, it’s right there! I used the plain old 150 AB in my Kimber 270, last year to take a good bull, at about the same speed as your load and had...

I have a bunch of .277 150 grain PT Golds, .284 160 PT Golds, BBCs for .277, .284, 308, 338, 358 and 375 stuff. Some other weird stuff as well.

Great looking camp!

I have used the 175 ABLR to take a handful of elk with a few at 600 yards give or take a few yards either side. It’s a great bullet. When you mention wanting to use them in your Kimber I’d load up a test cartridge first and see if it functions. I love the Kimbers but the 84Ls are very limited...

Great shooting. I believe I’ve adopted your method. If I can’t get easy accuracy out of a rifle after proper assembly, it gets a new barrel. These days, dealing with a picky rifle just isn’t much fun and your shooting is incredible. That speed on that 150 AB makes it a do everything sorta load.
