OK good point keep track of temp when testing & log it . Can someone elaborate on " nodes " using OBT chart ?

Thanks Gentlemen this gives me something to work with . It too has been my experience that the Hornady bullets are too soft for larger game & sometimes iffy on large hogs & bear at less than ideal angles . OK for boiler room or neck shot but not for a shoulder shot . Generally do OK on deer .

1) Shoot at least 10 rounds of each load ( from published load data ) over your chrono . 2) Determine fired case capacity 3) Measure bullets , oal & enter 4) Change BA to match chrono data After that I'm not sure what comes next ? Let me give you a scenerio & you can school me . 6.5X55 , 120...

Generally speaking it's been my experience that cup & core like to be seated out if possible . Monometals like more of a jump IIRC Barnes states start with .050 off . Where in this scheme of things do the NAB & NPT fall ? I've read that some treat them as a cup & core & that some have found...

The old classic 30/06 of 52.0grs IMR 4064 w/ a 150gr bullet is like the classic 57.5grs IMR 4350 w/ a 165gr bullet . Both are good loads but not every gun likes them . My 1903 Springfield likes both but my Rem 700 don't like either . Figure guns are like people they'll tell you what they want ...

Thanks . I sure hope I got the latest edition as I just bought it & had to wait a couple of weeks for delivery .

Got the disk & loaded it on my computer . Have been looking at load suggestions . I've already determined my OAL's & have entered them . As soon as I get some cases fired in my chamber I can enter case capacity to modify suggestions ? When I get chrono data I can modify powder characteristics ...

Most of the above are slower than 4350 . I've used 4350 & RL19 in 30/06 before & never had any luck with it in the 6.5 . MRP & RL22 have been the powders for 6.5 that I reach for first . I've been looking at the velocities & accuracy in the data for the ones above . I've been looking at a bunch...

Been wondering about these & watching the QL data being posted .What can you tell me about them ? Norma URP N-165 N-170 N-560 N-570 H1000 Superformance Big Game Hunter Magnum RL17 RL23 RL25 RL26 Primarly for 129 thru 160gr in 6.5X55 & 150 thru 180gr in 30/06 . Hunting loads not target .
