Nice group :shock: I was just looking for some load information for 180gr e-tip in my Howa 1500 30-06. I just happen to have a pile of H4350, now I know were to start 8) .

I use the Speer 300gr Uni-Core's over 20gr H110 in my Tracker while in bear country. The Uni-Core's have two crimping grooves, the top one will keep the OAL short enough for the Tracker but is very small and a PITA to crimp into. I ended up buying a Lee crimp die for ~$14.00 because I crushed a...

I might play with OAL a bit and H4350. I found a Hodgdon Xperiment pack at the local reloader store. The pack has 4 - 1/4LB bottles of H414, Varget, H4895, and H4350. I'll probably load 3 rounds of each in a couple of powder weights and test them out. Spring bear is just around the corner, but I...

I loaded some of the 300gr Speer Uni-Core's for my 2" Taurus Tracker, I could not use the bottom cannalure because it left them too long for my cylinder. I had to crimp using the small top cannalure, but it was poorly formed on the batch I had so it made roll crimping a real bugger. There was...

I would tend to agree with most of what JD338 said. I would add that if 165gr AB shoot better than for you than 180's, I would use them. I really don't think the elk will notice a 15gr difference ;). The most important thing is shot placement and don't be afraid to keep shooting until they are...

Thanks for the replies, I was little hesitant to try RL22 because of the temperature extremes we see during hunting season (0F-75F). Maybe I'll give IMR4350 or IMR4831 a try. No one has Federal primers in town, and even Winchester are getting hard to find so I bought a few hundred CCI's to try.

I loaded up some 180gr Partitions with to try out for my first hand loads and have a few newbie questions. All loads were using CCI 200 primers, Remington brass, and H4350. My rifle is a Howa 1500 with a 22" barrel. Because of the deep snow I was only shooting at 50yds and it was 25F out :)...

I just loaded my first batch ever 30-06 with 180gr Partition 2nds so I'm far from a expert. As soon as it gets above freezing I'll go try them out at the range. To measure the depth of the lands on my Howa 1500, I just put a new bullet in a fired case and rolled the neck a little to keep a...

I have one with a 2" barrel. I bought it carry during archery season while hunting in grizzly country. I probably would not run hot loads through it, but I plan on loading some 300 gr uni-core's. With factory 240 gr ammo, the recoil is crisp but the rubber grip and magna-porting help a lot more...
