The only reason I bought my Browning A Bolt in a .325 WSM, was because I couldn't get it in a .338 Federal from the factory. I still hope they make it, cause I will be forced to buy one.

I am new to this calber, but have done a fair amount of research on it. I have seen numerous statements saying not to use any weight bullet above 115 grains or so, because it takes up too much room in the case. All of these statements have come from those shooting AR-15's and bolt rifles...

I reload this cartridge for a friend as well. The load he uses for deer hunting here in the Adirondacks is: A 200 grain CT Ballistic Silvertip, factory Remington .308 brass resized, 47.0 grains (over max slightly) of H-4895, and a Federal 210M primer. He killed two smaller (130, 140) bucks...

+1 on that. Why not use a match grade primer when the cost in the same or at least very close? These are my go to primers for just about all rifle loads.

Awesome! Thanks guys! It will be cool to get some funky colored tips anyways, it will confuse my buddies! :lol:

Shiping is expensive on these, huh? I have to order a bunch of them to offset the cost of shipping. Guess that isn't a bad thing though.

What exactly does it mean to be a factory second to Nosler? Will these bullets perform on game? Sould they only be used for plinking? Are they for accurate load development (meaning they are just as accurate and fly the same, but should not be used on game???) :? :?

Another vote here for H-4831, but make it H-4831SC cause it meters well. I have not used it for 140's, but I have loaded both 130's with 59.0, and 150's with about 54, IIRC grains.

I only have experience with a few of the finer target .22 pistols. Some models now are made with a magazine that is mounted in front of the trigger guard. I have not shot that one, but have shot the S&W Model 41 with 5.5" barrel, and an older Ruger Mark 1. Both have scopes, and both have...

I as well have owned the Leupold 2X on a handgun, and for close range stuff it was good, but when extendeing distances arose with my Contender, I really like shooting the 2-7X32mm Burris betterl. It is left on 2 or 3X in the woods, and turned up to 7 for range work, and load development.

You looking for a repaeater for NRA 50' stuff or a single shot?

My load that I use for Whitetails here in NY is a 180 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip in front of 63.0 grains of H-4350 with a a Federal GM215M primer and Winchester brass, seated to 2.840". The load is a few grains below max, and is quite a dream to shoot in this rifle, which I have had glass...

I own one in a Browning A Bolt Stainless Stalker. It handles better than my long actions, and is superbly accurate. It heats the barrel quickly at the range, and recoil is about equal to that of a hot .30-06 load. It is an awesome do all caliber, and bullet selection is coming along. I love...

I am surprised no one has said this...Whatever you get, you need to make sure it fits her. If the gun is too short, it will increase percieved recoil. Things like comb height, drop and heel, and other variables will influence felt recoil as well. A gun that is too long will also lead to a...

I was nervous about not being able to get the Fed 210M primers becasue a lot of guys have said they can't find them anywhere, and they are the primer I use in most of my rifle loads. I was at the local shop this Saturday, and saw a box of them, with some of the 100 ct packages missing, so I...

I have a 2-7 X32mm Burris on it. I can't wait til Nosler unleashes the Accubond in a 110 grain in a few days. This will be my hunting bullet for sure.

I am looking for more data from firsthand experience about what works for this caliber in this gun. Barrel will be 14". Thanks in advance.

I am really interested in this caliber for range work and for deer in my COntender pistol. I am not able to comfortably shoot my .35 Remington at the range for long sessions and the expense is more than that of the 6.8 spc to reload. It looks as if the lighter bullets give the best performance...

I have been told by some reputable reloaders that magnum primers should be used in long action (ie: .270, 30-06) if hunting in very cold weather. My .270 likes most regular primers, but does not love the only mag primer I have tried (Fed 215M). I use a magnum primer in my .325 WSM which is...

Did you change how hard you are cycling the ram on the press? I use a press that you can really cram on and make the bullet seat a little deeper. Seat one "light" and measure COL, then press hard at the end of the cycle and measure again.
