Thanks JD. Soon, unfortunately my buddy's in law shot that bull nilgai that was killing those buffalo. He needed it gone asap and my rifle wasn't ready. Oh well, going to wait a while and see what comes, and by then I'll be ready for sure.

From the last test, I used Lapua brass and speed was faster than normal with mid charges, Lapua brass H20 is 92.11 and Norma is 94.96, Lapua brass neck is .0015 thicker than Norma brass, loaded neck with Lapua brass gives about .0015" clearance while Norma has about .004" clearance. Groupings...

I had struck a deal like that, 2 cameras for one for a incredible deal for 99 bucks from the manufacturer when I called about a lens replacement, i had it set up and the results was very poor, low quality pictures and taking pics of nothing but trees which was over 60 feet away, I had the...

May you recover and get well soon. Good to have it checked early before it gets worse. I had a similar condition where I had a serious bacterial infection where I tripped over a hoist that I used to hoist deer and nilgai that I had in the garage, the steel cable next to the hook had scraped my...

Hopefully my next hunt will be a bull or a cow nilgai with the 300 Win Mag and 200 Accubonds, for red stag or deer, it will be the 6.5 x 284 with the 143 ELD-X Hunted plenty of hogs and deer with the Creedmoor and 143 ELD X and 147's, its time to use the 6.5 x 284 this time, it never tasted blood.

Cannot compare apples to oranges, men competes with men, and women competes with women, if a man changes his sexual gender, then he is still a man and should compete with men and not women. Gosh sakes men are clearly stronger than women, I don't see any fairness when they allow men who changed...

That is excellent shooting, it seems your work was top notch.

Jim, I still had one thing left to do , it was to measure the loaded rounds on the Lapua and Norma cases. I was surprised by what I have seen. This should be the problem. Definitely going back to Norma for the next test, and if it works out, then I need to turn those necks down on the Lapua to...

I still have some new Norma brass on my shelf, I may just try those instead of the Lapua. If that does fix the high pressure issues, then I'll turn the necks down some on the Lapua brass

I was leaning to do it again from 74-75 grains,,,,don't get me started on buying the Garmin. :LOL:

@jimbires I had a similar high velocity issue with the ELD X 200 grain / RL 26 as well with the same rifle, wrote this post last year before my 2 nilgai cow hunts. I'll redo the H20 on the old Normas and the current Lapuas, I'll get back with what i find. Edited: Checked the H20 capacity on...

Ok, I'll retest it at lower charges and use Federal 215's and see what it shows on paper.

No pressure at all, primers don't look too flat, no ejector marks either, just the speed is quite fast which made me stop. CCIBR2 is standard primers, will that be enough to light all that slow powder? I have some Fed 215's and WLRM primers as well. By the way, its once fired Lapua brass.

I may need some advice, but can think what the issue may be. " Case Volume" but not sure, hope you guys can advise. Nosler book minimum 74 and max is 78 grains Lapua brass ( current ) H20 is 92.29 gr and Norma brass is 95.20 ( recently used ) / started using Lapua last year and been using...

That looks delicious. On my pellet smoker, I do 225 for St Louis ribs, 3 hours unwrapped, and remove from the smoker, put a little butter on the ribs, and wrap with peach paper, in the smoker for another 2 hours, then unwrap again for another 45 mins cook, then do the bend test to see if the...

76.5 - 78 grains H1000 and used a drop tube, was very slightly compressed at 77.5 to 78 grains. Just need to go out and try it.

It's the first thing I will look for out of curiosity

Yup I have H4350, but saving it for my 6.5 Creed, its the only powder the Creed loves. I should get about 2900 -2950 fps with the H1000 / H4831, its all it needs to spank those bull nilgai. Last I used the 200 ELD X on a cow nilgai at about 3,080 fps / RL 26 and was not too happy with it on...

Jump starting reloading again, a buddy called that he has some bull nilgai on a friend's ranch that his buddy wants to get rid of because one of them killed 2 buffalos, did not ask what happened. Anyways, I have some 200 Accubonds stashed and I only have half a pound of RL 22 and RL 26 which was...
