Now have you took that max load of 46 grains of Varget and set it in the fridge until the case reaches 35 degrees for 8 hours then went out and shoot it thru the chrono immediatley or repeated this process over the course of a few days by letting it get back to room temp and putting it back in...

Which of the new and older powders has the least amount of non temp sensitive to extreme temp ranges?I have shot Unique,Bullseye and Universal for years and looking to buy some new powder as i am about out and looking at getting around 900fps lead loads to 1400 fps hunting loads for the 357...

Anybody use Alliant 2400 powder for 357 and or 44 mag?How do you like it and is it temp sensative?

Wont be shooting 100 yards with the pistol so it would only be a woods gun to about 50-75 yards and 75 yards is really stretching it in our woods for a open shot.Unless i go up to north missouri and then it would just be a back up weapon anyway.I had a 44 magnum and wished i never gotten rid of...

Well i am not Nosler but i know my store is always just about out of .30 caliber bullets and .22 caliber bullets in just about every brand.

Ok i stopped and bought some other Nosler bullets to experiment with in the .308 this morning and put a like new S&W 6 inch 686 PowerPort in layaway and wondering what bullet weight and type does Nosler make for the 38-357 that would be a good choice for a 50 yard deer round?

Yeah even the Varget bottle says 46.0 max but that is about 3 grains more then Sierra and other manuals list,Not saying i dont trust Noslers data but i have used Sierra and Lyman loadings for years without having to worry about barrel wear,pressure signs,blown primers,split cases ,ect.ect. And i...

I use Varget,H335,RE15,RE7,Win.748,H4895,IMR 3031,for just about every rifle i have :grin: Gonna try some VihtN140 and VihtN150 and AA2520 one of these days. And there is not many powders for the 165 grain that will get you into the 2700-2800fps without going over max book loads.Most of my...

Well it may be over but a .308 with a A2 or A5 McMillian stock set up to shoot 168 grain Nosler Comp.loads for 500-1000 yard matches :grin: And i would really like to be the winner of that rig.

I am looking into some other bullets to load and test and was wondering how you guys like the 165 grain ballistic tip for the 308 for Deer from 50-300 yards?What is this bullets best fps loading for max.efficiency?Any pictures?
