I would grab some RL22, but I have several pounds of IMR4831, H1000 and a pound of RL-25 that I like to burn up first. RL-22 is the bees knees in my 300 Win Mag. I'm still hanging on to my last 1.5 pounds of RL-26. I don't use my 300 Win Mag as much like the smaller calibers I use.
I remember I struggled with trying to get my Gramp's .243 BAR to shoot accurately, wasn't my loads either. It's probably due to the inherent design of the rifle. I was pushing 1 -1.5 inch groups if I could remember. May want to check stock bedding and warpage as well. Try seating your bullets...
After fireforming 225 pieces of 2X fired brass from the old BR barrel into the current ( 350 rounds in ) barrel with 105 VLD and 105 Hornady Match. The VLD's shot very well at the the match last month while fireforming brass. The Hornady Match did not perform like I wanted for some reason...
I once fired some Match factory Federal ammo, saved them for reloading for the first time and found that half of the batch had loose primer pockets after the 2nd firing. Never went back to Federal brass for this reason. Stuck with quality brass like Lapua, Norma and Nosler, its all I use. The...
Hi Guy, finally I was able to get out and shoot the .38 Super. Distance was 15 yards with my palms resting on the tailgate in the closed position, trying to keep the cases in the bed without searching for them in the grass. Power Pistol from 6.6 to 7.7 in .2 grain increments for 4 rounds each...
It's possible that you should be fine with a 200 grain in the 1:11 twist, you should be close to the end of the stability threshold. I use a 1:10 twist on mine and it loves the 180 grain AB / BT. Put them on paper and see what it tells you. Keep us posted.
I love the 6 speed Allison on my diesel 2009 HD2500, its a beast. It never downshifts from 6th gear while towing my RV up a bridge or into heavy headwind while cruising 70, it has awesome torque. That never happens with gas HD2500 with their 4 speed transmissions, always downshifts to 3rd...
I was thinking whether to keep my 09 HD2500, since I rarely had any big issues, except replace a glow plug here and there which I do myself after a computer scan for plug #, cracks on the top dash due to the heat, door lock actuators in the back works mostly, but sometimes won't work, and starts...
I want to trade in my crew cab 09 Silverado HD2500 since I don't haul RV's or trailers anymore. I just pull a 20 foot boat to go fish.
Wondering which truck I should look into? The HD2500's heavy and are hard on bumps compared to the 1500's. I just like diesel engines due to torque and power...
