If I was capable of making a perfect shot while holding the crosshairs perfectly in the middle of the bullseye every shot, I could see your point. But, I'm just an average guy who, although, shoots more than the average hunter, is far from being an expert. I just do the best I can and as stated...
Finally got a load worked up I think. Aside from a couple jerks of the trigger these are excellent groups for me. I think I've settled on 72g imr 7828ssc with a 140 accubond at 3250. My coal is 3.30, would you tinker with that at all given that I know my outside shots were not perfect trigger...
Can anyone run some numbers please for a 270wby slingin 140 accubonds with 7828ssc?
The new nosler book says 71 max and two other sources say 73.5. Was gonna work up from 70 to 73.5. Also, what's a max velocity I should look for? How should I go about seating depth on a weatherby? Never loaded...
I noticed with the bolt out of the gun I takes a good bit of force to push the case onto the bolt face as if the extractor has a stiff spring or the angle on it isn't enough. Also there's a small set of lines left on the shoulder every time I chamber it. Are these tooling marks? Should I be...
Well I picked up my new rifle and it just so happened the shop had 4lbs of 7828ssc so I bought all of it as well.
On a side note, when I got it home I was checking it out and chambered a live round and found it awfully hard to push the bolt all the way forward to be able to close it. Not...
I understand where you're coming from. I have a bunch of h4831sc and as I said access to h1000 and retumbo. Only thing is the new manual lists h4831 and is at the bottom (top of the page) as far as velocity goes with 140s. They're more or less 270win speeds. Id like to get at least 3200 with...
Hey fellas, I got my eye on a weatherby weathermark in 270wby and was wondering what powder you all prefer? I've got several 140gr btips to experiment with in hopes of using them for practice and the accubonds for hunting. My new nosler manual lists imr 7828 for best velocities but my main...
I know it's a long shot but I'm looking for some brass if anyone has any they could spare. New, used whatever. Some 140btips and accubonds would be cool too. Or some leads where I may find these items. I have a some 30 cal stuff I could trade. Thanks guys.

Bullet entered a little behind right shoulder and found it under the hide a few inches in front of the left rear. It only took one shot and he hunched a bit, turned and walked 10 yards, laid down and that was that.

Stick with one or two powders. Test in .5 grain increments. For hunting purposes/ rifles, going every .1-.3 makes minimal difference in my opinion. Use a chronograph when testing these loads and stop upping the charge when you reach the velocity you're after, if you get pressure signs, or the...
