Lapua 144 loc-base fmjbt's with n560 or ppu 139 fmj-bt's with same powder. Keep in mind I don't hunt game that requires a tag only varmints.

i'll also add what drives my decisions is that it can fit into an AR. if i get a mrad then i'll expand as i like having 1 receiver that will fit a multitude of choices for quick changes.

have you made an xp is 50bmg yet 🥳

i tend too stay with 1 caliber and have been for decades until the last 10 years then i started playing the fields. i'm a 26cal fan and have been since i started shooting a 264wm back in '76. seems like every time a new 26cal appears i get 1 and also buy some older 26cals regardless of the...

i have a 1# of 7977, but haven't checked or used any yet. bought it for 264wm.

southern california (san diego) could be as bad due to temps at 110+.

BTW the throat looks horrible. Kinda like southern AZ pavement

I've shot 2,500+ rounds in a 264wm. If it still can hold 1moa or better then I don't think you'll have an issue. Mainly a summer gun from '76 to '90. I burned LOTS of imr4831 in that time ('84-'90) as before then it was factory ammo.

Are you set on certain weight of a bullet or a minimum velocity? All my creeds are in AR's from 18" to 24". Is this a range toy or something for hunting? If hunting what is max distance you'll be shooting to? Depending on the amount of rounds you've shot you might need 100+ before really...

i reload for top velocity that ends up being good accuracy and if it's off i learn where the next shot should be. does it always work.............depends on the rifle

Barnes dies have data last i checked. You can call or email Sierra for data answers. If interested in berger they will give data also. Just checked and Sierra list 6.8western in their online data.

Call nosler and ask although there isn't info on the reload data site. With 270wsm and 6.8western being very close to the same there's a very good starting point

Not just sight, but daily shooting with non-hunting pistols what do you usually shoot at distance wise? I read many shoot 7 yards. Why is that a norml for many? With the chance to shoot indoors today I'm taking several new pistols. When at home it's usually 25, 50 & 100 yards with...

It is in 45-70 though 🤣

Here's a 45-70 7.5" pistol using Barnes ammo
