I use H data for my TC 35 Rem. Not really any good Nosler bullets in my opinion for the 35 Remington. The 200 AB might’ve been good but those are pretty hard to come by. I’ve been using 180 Speer FNs and Hornady 200 FTXs in mine.

I know they are amazing deer killers. I think they expand a bit better than a 225 PT which has worked fine as well but the 225 Sierra is just a great bullet.

Sounds about right. That 225 Sierra is a killer!

From what I’ve gathered Wheelers reamers clear up that clicker stuff. Just a case where they didn’t provide any room for expansion/contraction which isn’t a problem with factory ammo but if you reload you will run into the problem in only a matter of time.

Not that you need it I see a bit more accuracy higher in charge weight. I’ve seen the groups and chrono numbers flatline a few times with a 130 anything and H4831.

7828 works excellent in my 270 WSM. I always thought it was almost a match for RL22 which always worked excellent.

I used a Remington 11-87 with Remington 2 3/4” Sluggers. Cheap old Bushnell 4x Banner on top. I’ll look and see if I can find the picture. Still have the shotgun and man the memory is still alive in my brain. It was a cold Thanksgiving day around 10 degrees if I remember right. I believe he was...

I could easily attach myself to your list. Any change is purely between my ears. The 223, 270, 7 Mag and 338 cover a lot of ground for me.

I’m using Hunter and the 95 BTs in my Ruger 243. Good speed and accuracy. Interesting about the barrel swap on the 99. I sometimes think a 6 CM on a 99 would be sort of a sleeper. I’m with you though, I like the 300 Savage in a 99. It was popular for good reason.

I used the 125 PT and 130 AB with Retumbo in my older Classic. I believe I was around 3350 with the 26” barrel. Still haven’t finalized my 130 AB load for my 24” 264 with 130 ABs but it was pretty promising the last time I had it out. Retumbo is excellent in the 264.

Absolutely. It’s bullet length not weight which governs stability. With the 264 you’d stabilize the 147 ELD as well. Maybe not to get full BC but it works in the 9 with that cartridge.

That’s a mighty powerful combo! I wished I had a 7-08 I could stretch out to 3”.

Yup, from an 06 started at 2700. Worked excellent on a bull at 390. I’d stay off big bones up close at the increased velocity. Once it’s at about 2700’ish I’d put it where you please.

I’d say I like to kick tires on alot of stuff but have found something 270/7mm does about everything I need to do most days. I like short handy rifles for chasing deer and typically 338/358 for those duties. But I’ve never been let down by a cartridge.

Absolutely! That’s a wicked killing bullet.
