Nice CZ 550.I hope it shoots well for you.As for the Ruger,looks like their last resort to get the rifle to groups well before sending it down the road and it still didn't group.Lol I wonder what kind of deal he got from Cabelas.

I like the Ballistic Tips too.They will give you just a little larger wound channel than the Accubond,tend to give you quick kills and exit as well.

I kinda learned a few things using the gauge.Starting out with new brass run through the full length die,near zero runout.Second firing,still near zero runout.Third firing,a little more runout starting to show up,but not too bad.Forth firing,a little more runout than the third fired cases.Cases...

My 308 Win loved that powder too.I used a Winchester case,WLRM primer,45.0grs of IMR-4895,168gr Nosler Ballistic Tip,2815fps.My rifle does have a 26" barrel.The 168gr NBT is just a little longer than the 165gr NBT,you would think the 3grs wouldn't make that much difference,but when I was...

I think the Norma Bondstrike may be the same as the discontinued Hornady Interbond,they certainly are constructed alike and the mushroomed bullets look the same too.I have used the Interbonds on deer,hogs,elk and nilgia.They are a very tough bullet and they have all exited.I think they are a...

Couple of test loads from when I first got one of my rifles before I got QL data using 7mag brass

Does well with the 168gr Nosler Ballistic tip too.

I have two 308 Norma Magnums.I shoot them with Norma brass,but it is softer at the base than Winchester and Remington brass I've made for it.I backed off my loads 1.5grs with the Norma brass I have to save my primer pockets.You can make brass three ways.Necking up 7mag brass,necking down 338 Win...

I don't know who on this forum original posted 63.5grs of Reloader 26 with 180gr bullets out of the 30-06,but that load works beautifully out of all my 30-06's.I used Winchester cases,WLRM primers and 180gr Nosler Ballistic Tips.My 23" Rock Creek barrel was getting 2890fps and my 24" Sako was...

Same cartridge,just a tad longer neck on the Norma.I went with the Norma because I knew I could find dies and even correct head stamped brass.I also knew I could use 7mag or 338 Win mag brass if I needed to and I've use all three for brass.I can get about a 100fps more out of my 300 Win Mag with...

The powder that I have was all made in Canada.I shot up almost all of one of the 8 pounders and never had any problems.It just went bad in the last few months.I set some of it on fire and it all burned,but seemed to burn rather slow.
