Reflex, I read and enjoyed your excellent post on 24HR about the 264 WM. I traded two 03A3's for a 264 WM made up on a mauser action in a plain stock with a 26" Douglas twisted 1-12". O3A3's were $10 ea then. The rifle was quite accurate with the 120 Sierra which is what they call the Pro...

Nosler should bring out the bullets in the order of sales. They already have to know what sells the best bullet wise so just bring out the next best seller. The idea is to make money and to satisfy the most customers. It seems that 7mm is the highest vote getter here. To be frank my guess...

You have to work up your own loads as each rifle is an individual. If its for varmints you can start with 70 gr bullets and powders like IMR 4350, 4064 and others are good. Here is the Nosler data http://www.nosler.com/index.php?p=15&b=6mm&s=108[/url]

Old#7, Your 243WSSM is more than adequate for any varmint hunting and it would have very long range beyond 400 yds as long as its accurate. Thats the gun to use. I see no reason for your comment on the magazine capacity? I hunt with single shot rifles and when I use a repeater I only load it...

I shot at a large whitetail buck standing at 193 yds. with the 140 gr Ballistic Tip from a 270 WSM. This load was starting at over 3200 fps. The buck fell at the shot and I was sure I had him. :oops: I reloaded and when I looked up he was standing. He took one small step forward and I...

I go back to the 1950's rifles scope wise and we always bought Lymans as they were much sharper than the economy Weaver. Later my I wanted new scopes so I got 10 Leupolds. They are good scopes by a good company. When the Conquest series came out by Zeiss I tried one and its far superior to...

The real pain has yet to be experienced. I view the .45 rifles as high kick and low hit. Ok for DG however at short range.

Wilson was who I thought made the crummy old Ruger barrels. If they had used Douglas and put them on right we would not be talking about this. Some say the new Ruger barrels that they make themselves are better. Who knows what any indivdual rifle will do til you shoot it. The last Ruger I...

So far I can't get even one of the Hodgdon Extreme powders to best a IMR or Alliant powder. However RL 15 is supposed to be temperature insensitive and I have some good loads with it. In the 30-06 IMR 4350 has always been superb however if the very highest velocity was wanted I suppose some RL...

What twist and minimum velocity will be required for that bullet?

Boggy, Welcome to the forum. What Enfield rifle do you have? A SMLE perhaps?

When a rifle is shooting a particular bullet well just be happy and buy more of them. Keep in mind that the VMax's that I have seen have a shape like what Hornady calls or used to call the Spire Point. Such a bullet carries its full or nearly full diameter further forward than other bullets...

I looked the Ruger Hawkeyes over and they seem better than the old Rugers in terms of the SS matte finish, the trigger, the pad and checkering on the wood stocks. However there is no 'Featherweight' yet. The ones in cartridges like the 308 are way too heavy for me. The magnums and varminters...

If the rifle shoots well then just use it as is and forget about the velocities. Figure about 25 fps per inch of velocity loss or gain from what ever data your looking at. If I were to order a new Swift or 22-250 barrel I would get a 1-12" twist. If longer bullets than the usual .224"s are...

The brass might be too short headspace wise for that chamber, the brass might be FL sized too much or the rifle might have excessive headspace. Make your own case gage. Get a 30-06, 35 Whelan etc. seating die and remove the seating stem. Now drop a new unfired, unloaded case into the die and...

Your case may have been sized to much for that chamber. Don't fire any more loads made from that die setting. Instead feel inside every case with a wire that has a tiny hook bent on it for insipiant head separations. Get back to us on what the cases are like and then we can help you set the...

I called Hornady last year about bullets melting and got quite a bit of good feedback. As I recall they even have an 800 #. http://www.hornady.com/contact_us.php Over on AR JB made a comment about good results with a target bullet on game. His article is due out soon in Rifle Or Handloader...

I have worn a few barrels out erosion wise and when they became a concern I either had a new one put on or traded the rifle off. I seem to have more problems with bad crowns than others or at least I look to the crown as a cause of inaccuracy. Perhaps its my barrel cleaning technique, my...

This is the Nosler forum! You could call Hornady tomorrow and ask them.
