    Riddle me this.

    My experience with H4350 is it tends to change more from lot to lot than I've noticed with IMR4350 or Accurate4350.H4350 always seemed to be about what is equal to one grain short of getting near equal velocity loaded with the same charge as IMR4350 and Accurate4350.The first time I compared all...

    7mm Rem. Mag.

    I doubt 65.5grs of Reloader 22 with a 140gr NBT will be 3250fps.I was getting 3200fps out of my rifle with 69.5grs of Reloader 22.I really like the 150gr Nosler BT in my 7mags.With 150gr I use 67.5grs.It runs around 3050-3100fps,depending on the rifle.66.0grs of Reloader 22 works really well...

    The versatile 30-06.

    The 30-06 always amazes me.It flat works!!! It has the near perfect case/bore capacity that so many bullet weights and powders work so well in it.Here is a good read on the 30-06. https://sportsafield.com/2019/dont-overlook-the-30-06/

    What have you taken Hogs with?

    30-30,222,243,6mm,25-06 and 7mag.Shot placement is the key.Make the first shot count and try to put them down with one shot.

    Worst brass?

    I buy a lot of Winchester and Remington once fired brass and I really cannot say anything bad about it.I cannot say the same for the new unprimed cases from both manufactures.I've had some batches that really was crap.Norma and Nosler brass is OK but it tends to run a little soft so you have to...

    300WM 180 NBT with IMR4831

    I've killed a couple of red stags with the 180gr Nosler Ballistic Tip.They are like a small elk,350-450lbs.I shot one with a 300 Win Mag about 125yds,mv was 3130fps.The bullet entered the onside shoulder and exited behind the offside shoulder and dropped him right there.The other red stag was...

    Another 300 Win. Mag.

    I was looking at some other bullets I have that might actually work even better than the Nosler Protected Point for short mag boxes like the Sako A7.Even though the Protected Point is shorter at the tip,it still has the issue of the ogive of the bullet getting into the short neck of the 300 Win...

    Another 300 Win. Mag.

    I have some of those Protected Point Partitions.Yes,they were made for the 300 Win Mags with short mag boxes.A lot of those mag boxes are around 3.400.I think a lot of short mag boxed rifles were chambered for the 300 Win Mag because Saami specs. are 3.340 for the cartridge,so in theory it...

    Another 300 Win. Mag.

    I have a Sako A7 Long Range with the 26" heavy fluted barrel.I never could get it to shoot that good seated deep.In fact,in order for it to function in the short magazine box,it has to be seated less than 3.300.The 180gr Nosler Ballistic Tips were seated so deep in the case,I could push the...

    Failure to trim?

    My rifles that I've checked with my borescope using a full length empty case show a generous amount of room for the case to grow beyond the max case length.I just make trimming every time a part of my case prep since I got my Frankford Arsenal Trim and Prep Center.I like to keep all my brass...

    RL-22 Range Time

    Never judge recoil with velocity.I've experienced quite the contrary.I've had some recoil that felt rather sporty and velocity was rather disappointing.Reloader 22 in the 7mag feels rather mild to me.

    RL-22 Range Time

    66.0grs of Reloader-22 is a standard load I've used in several 7mags with 160gr bullets.Velocity did vary between rifles.The one with the slowest velocity was also the rifle that shot better with a .5gr more powder with out any pressure indications.So I think you are spot on with your load.As...

    300 H&H Pet Loads

    Beautiful Pre-64 300 H&H.The 300 Win Mag has a useful case capacity of 5.62cc,the 300 H&H has a useful case capacity of 5.33cc,the 308 Norma Magnum has a useful case capacity of 5.18cc and the 300WSM has a useful case capacity of 4.91cc,so it's really near twins are the 300 H&H and the 308 Norma...

    7 mm Rem Mag - RL22

    A few things for thought,every rifle is different,bullets are different,powder lots are different,primers are different and cartridge case capacities can be a lot different too.I load 66.0grs of Reloader 22 in my three 7mags with 160gr Accubonds.I use Remington cases,WLRM primers,I'm off the...

    Where are all the Ballistic Tips?

    I'm beginning to feel like somebody doesn't want people who shoot big guns to have any bullets or primers for them.Seems like plenty available if you shoot a 5.56,22lr or pistols,but if you are shooting a cartridge in 7mm or 30cal and you want a Nosler bullet for it,you've been S.O.L. for a...
