Reloader 26 is great with the heavier weight bullets in the 30-06.I called it good enough with this load.61.0grs of Reloader 26 with a 200gr Accubond @ 2815fps is some serious medicine out of a 30-06.

No,it's a Remington 700 that I sent to Pacnor for rebarreling.I was going to have it done in a 26" barrel.The owner Chris said he would do a 28" for the same price.I figured why not,I could always cut it down if I wanted it shorter.So I went with the Super Match Grade stainless barrel,1-10 twist...

I shot some 180gr Ballistic Tips recently out of my 28" barrel 30-06. 63.5grs of Reloader 26,Win brass,WLRM primer 3021fps 62.0grs of Reloader 22,Win brass,WLRM primer 2997fps You can probably subtract 25fps per inch from my velocities.

I use a lot of once-fired brass.It's a lot cheaper and have never really ran into any issues using it.My 30-06 brass was purchased for .18 a piece delivered.Hard not to stock up on it at that price.When you think about it,it's better to use fired brass for load work up anyway,so why not?

Years ago,I bought a 308 Win.I made some test loads with 45.5grs of Varget with 165gr bullets.I had Winchester,Nosler and Remington brass.I didn't have my chronograph with me that day,but the Winchester and Nosler brass loads were shooting the same tight groups around .5".The Remington brass was...

The way I check the difference in case volume from different manufactures is,all cases resized,trimmed and primed,fill a case full with a ball powder and compare the fill on each different case.You might find some cases might be able to hold one or two grains more powder.Which brands hold the...

It really amazes me how close Quick Load data is.When you put all the specifics in,the data is nearly spot on.I also look at the % of case fill and pressure.Just like Reloader 26 is an excellent powder in the 30-06.I never saw it to be that great over the other powders with the 165gr,but once...

I just bought 200 of the 175gr Grand Slams to shoot mainly in my 7STW or my 7mags.I haven't shot any of the newer ones,but the older style dual core ones worked great. I shot in 145gr and 160gr my 7mags.They worked like a bonded bullet and left very little bloodshot meat around the wound...

Absolutly !!!

The 150gr loads run a tad over 2900fps The 168gr loads all run a tad over 2800fps

The 150gr 7mm Ballistic Tips work great.I shot this old doe with one out of my 7mag at around a hundred yards or so.MV was around 3100fps.I've shot several with this bullets,results were all about the same.Lights out,DRT.

I have a Sako A7 Long Range 308 Win.It has a flimsy stock and I never could get it to group well until I full length bedded the stock.It shoots really good now. Some of my loads: 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tips 46.5grs of Varget 45.5grs of TAC 168gr Nosler Ballistic Tips 44.5grs of TAC 45.0grs of...

https://shop.hodgdon.com/winchester-staball-hd/ Should be a good powder.

I normally use one of the 4350 powders in my 300 Win Mag.s. 72.0grs has always worked good for me with 180gr bullets.A couple of years ago,I tried Ramshot Hunter.That powder works really good too. 24" Bergara 26" Sako

I ran across a fraudulent Hodgdon website around a year ago.The site looked good and it would have been really easy to be fooled if you don't pay attention and know what to look for.I sent Hodgdon an email and the link.They thanked me and told me unfortunately these fraud sites pop up quite...

I've reduced the calibers I load for down to three,but I'm loading for nine different cartridges.This way I have bullets that interchange between cartridges. 7mag 7STW 308 Win. 30-06 300WSM 308 Norma Magnum 300 Win Mag 338-06 338 Win Mag

Certainly a great deal.

I keep very little loaded ammo on hand.I do have some factory stuff,but I'd rather load up fresh stuff for hunting rather than use something that has been sitting for a good length of time and find out there may be accuracy or pressure issues with it.I have seen powder go bad inside the loaded...

Seat depth variation used to drive me crazy.Depths were all over the place.Then I bought a Hornady comparator that clamps on my calipers and measures off the bullet ogive instead of the bullet tip.I think it cost around $30,comes with inserts for different calibers.You will soon find way more...
