Nosler sells Trophy Grade 110 Accubond and Partitions as well. I prefer to reload for better accuracy and its cheaper too.

The 257 Bee has lots of speed, I would settle for Accubond or Partitions in case you hit bone. In my opinion, Ballistic Tips will fragment hitting bone especially from 257 Weatherby speeds, you will be fine with double lung shots, just stay off bones.

I have used RL 22 and IMR-4350 with 150 Swift Scirroco, and 150 Ballistic Tips.

I do still use the websites to get my data, I rarely open the reloading manuals unless I don't find the bullet weight / charge data. I recall a few shooters and a gunsmith tell me " Rely on the books for your reloading data, not the internet"

Most of my reloading manuals are outdated, and instead of buying manuals from different companies, would there be a "universal" reloading manual? I know different bullet brands have their own testings to powder charges and pressures due to the design of their own bullets, or is it more safer to...

Shooting the .38 Super gives a different sound than a .45 in more of a deeper boom, I love that sound. The recoil is very mild even when shooting 1400 fps with 124 grain loads when I shot them with Blue Dot. You could always buy the ivory grips separately if none was found in a complete combo. I...

Missed those days when I used to use a RCBS powder throw, sticking brass under that thing and drop charges. I got rid of that powder throw ages ago when I stopped shooting pistol and have been using the ChargeMaster and the FX120i to fine tune rifle loads. Doing a tune to see velocity and...

Match today was not bad with the quick tune with 105 VLD until I run out. I have enough left for next month's match and close to fireforming all the 2X fired brass to my new 6BR chamber using the VLD's I have left. Afterwards the new tune will be with either the Hybrids, Vapor Trails, Sierra...

Good ol days when it was cheaper. Had those in my stash for the .38 Super and .45 Sad that the 41 Magnum S&W Classic Hunter SS is gone, loved that pistol.

Finally came in. I'm anxious to start pistol loading after 19 years. Going to try 5 rounds in .2 grain increments and look for an accuracy load, hopefully no splitting this time. Haven't chosen a powder yet. It's a toss between AA#7, AutoComp and Power Pistol. 130 grain round nose to start...

I have my .38 Super block set up on my Dillon 550B, I checked the dies and had them cleaned out. The crimp die has T. CR stamped on it, so its a taper crimp. The crimp die had little powdered brass flakes stuck in there from crimping the case mouths. I think little crimp is needed just to...

New brass should arrive tomorrow. Ordered some Starline P+

RL 22, 25 and 26 will get you insane speeds.

I used RL22 and 180 Accubonds earlier in January. I recently tested the Barnes 180 TTSX a few weeks ago with RL25, I was able to run them at 3,240 fps average. I backed off a half grain before it got to pressure. Barrel is 26 inches. What powder did you use?

Yes, 24
