63 gr RL22 & 140 gr TSXs or 145 gr BTSP Speers

Excellent work by you & the rifle; congrats!

Dang nice buck and darn nice shooting too! I've always meant to get one of those Marlin 45-70s; that things is a KILLIN mo fo!!!

Very nice work! The Quarter Roy is AWESOME.

Jeeze I have to apologize; don't know if it's auto correct or what but I did not mean to post "moronic" but "ironic"! Sorry bout that. The pic of that loaded cartridge makes me feel like when we used to climb the rope in gym class (Garth quote; can't help myself it's true). Friggin awesome...

Very nice! I am very intrigued by this cartridge but I have to admit finding it moronic that a guy with your handle has a Rem 700 in 6-06 rather than a Weatherby MkV in 240 ;) ! Very cool. I think I need one...

When does Habakuk get his turn?? Seriously man you have some awesome names listed above; my boys were Samuel & Elijah but I lobbied hard for Enoch and was shot down by wifey :( . Awesome story Nahum knows how to put up the meat!

Am on the same quest... Each year I buy as many preference points as I can in as many states as possible. Wyoming is great for reasons already mentioned. Idaho doesn't have a preference point system but has great general areas w/ OTC opportunities useful in years you don't win lottery hunts in...

Every year... Gotta do it! Can't wait to burn em...

This is well timed for me thanks all. I just ordered some 2nds from SPS in prep for my son's 1st deer hunt. He really likes my AR so I am hoping this projectile will shine. What does Nosler list as it's optimal velocity window for expansion/integrity balance? My shots will be short range & I'd...

I want a 338 Nosler myself... I have a Savage long action with that would be PERFECT for it!

I might give em a try if/when I can find em, but not sure what advantage they hold over 150 NBT given my ranges (not over 400). Any chance you'd want to trade some for factory 1st custom comp 168s?

Thanks but there isn't a load there; each group is one shot with increasing amounts of propellent with the respective projectile. 62, 63, 63.5, & 64 gr w/ Speer BTSP on top & TSX on bottom! Never realized how small a variation one could see in such a wide spread! I am even quite positive AI...

Excellent group there! I am hoping to have something similar to shot from 140 TSXs & 145 Speer BTSPs w/ RL-22 this week! Is there an advantage of MRP over RL-22? I am not familiar w/ the latter at all; not even sure if we have it around here? Where do you get it?

Seated some 174 FMJ/BTs LONG for hard-jam & got cases formed. Finally made it to range for hunting bullet testing and was VERY pleased w/ the results! Here are 2 groups from my exploratory "find pressure" outing. 62, 63, 63.5, & 64 gr RL-22 (4 shots/ea) w/ CCI-200s in freshly formed R-P 7mm Exp...

DOE!! <forehead slap> I think I'll buy another can and try it again... :oops:

Win 70 PF LW w/ take-off factory FW contour .280 Rem tube I bought here from Chet which was punched AI by Dave @ IT&D. Didn't chrono; was finding max before developing a load for accuracy. Didn't find max going up to 64 gr w/ either. I will likely see about 62.5 & 63 gr in an attempt to go...

Two groups from my exploratory "find pressure" outing today; 62, 63, 63.5, & 64 gr RL-22 (4 shots/ea) w/ CCI-200s in freshly formed R-P 7mm Exp brass & 145 gr Speer BTSP (top) & 140 TTSX (both @ 100 yds): Needless to say I am enthused! Next up for testing are 150 NBT (my intended primary...

Buddy's son has a Savy 243 Win & mine a custom Mauser in 257 Rob. My buddy will likely use his son'a rifle, but I have yet to decide what I'll use to fill my doe tags? 280AI, 6-250, 7-08, none of which have bloodied big game? Or the good ole faithful 257 AI that accompanied us in '10, in which...
