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.

On the 8lb jug,it should be a white stick on label.The one pound is grey.

Received a check today.

As for consistency,I don't go to extremes,just a few basic things I do.What I do though,is keep my brass segregated by the number of rounds fired,same length and headstamp.I like to anneal after the third firing.That helps a lot because it keeps the neck tensions near equal as apposed to a...

I've only used 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip in my 308 Win with a MV @ 2900fps.They were tough bullets,leaving silver dollar size exits.I felt like they might actually perform better with a little higher velocity.I think they will work OK in the 300WSM because they are tough and not explosive.

I never really noticed much difference between primers,but 308 Win is the smallest case I load for.I weigh every charge on my ammo, consistency improves accuracy.I know in some of my load work up,I have seen loads one grain or more difference,still shoot in the same group.I think you can get the...
