    I'm an idiot

    I like 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tips or 160gr Accubonds in my 7mags,I have three. With 150gr I load 67.5grs of Reloader 22 or 69.0grs of Reloader 26 With 160gr I load 66.0grs of Reloader 22 or 67.5grs of Reloader 26

    200gr accubond 300win mag

    Winchester or Federal Magnum Primers are a little hotter.I've used a lot of CCI's,but I like the Win or Fed better.

    Seating depth in a long-throated Tikka...

    That's not too bad of a jump.If it shoots well at max mag box length,work with it there and don't worry that your well off the lands.I have several rifles with the same issue.The worse on I have is a Sako A7 in a 300 Win Mag.To get it to feed from the magazine,the bullet has to be seated below...

    Back to the range with 30-06 and RL26

    Yep,he dropped on the spot.I like shooting them high because I don't want to have to chase or track them in the thorny South Texas brush.I was hunting south of Corpus Christi,Texas.Those 180gr Ballistic Tips are some tough bullets.I shot a stag last year with one out of my 300 Win Mag,breaking...

    Back to the range with 30-06 and RL26

    I took the "Beast" 30-06 out with the 63.5grs of Reloader 26,using a 180gr Nosler Ballistic Tip to shoot a cull red stag.Smoked him at 200yds.

    300 Win Mag...200gr+

    Hunter powder is good in the 300 Win Mag.It loads about the same as IMR4831.That 2.85 is my comparator length.

    30-06 & 180...

    I bought four pounds of the Reloader26 and they were all the same lot number so no I haven't compared any other lots.I tried the 63.5 gr Reloader 26 load with 180gr Ballistic Tips,Win cases,WLRM primer in two other 30-06's I have.My 23" Rock Creek 5R cut barrel clocked it at 2890fps and my 24"...

    One Bullet One Load

    I like the 168gr Ballistic Tip in my three 308 Win's.I use a WLRM primer and Winchester cases.Powders that work for me are Varget,TAC,IMR4895 and Accurate 4064

    30-06 & 180...

    Guy,this is what Reloader 26 did for me in my 28" barreled 30-06.I tried it with 168gr bullets and it really didn't seem much better than other powders I've used.There was another post on this,so I tried it with 180gr Accubonds and 200gr Accubonds.Wow!!! It really works with the heavier...

    Reloading Accubond Question

    That short mag box seems to be a big problem with a lot of rifles chambered for the 300 Win Mag.I'm beginning to think somebody screwed up making 3.340 as the max length for the 300 Win Mag and rifle manufacture design engineers did to.The 308 Norma Magnum has a max case length of 2.559.The 300...

    Reloading Accubond Question

    Recently I started using Ramshot Hunter.It's about on the same burn rate and load rate as IMR 4831.Really I think any powder between the 4350's and Ramshot Magnum will work for the 300 Win Mag if you find the right load.I'm usually jumping .050 - .100 on Accubond and Ballistic Tips.Here are some...

    Back to the range with 30-06 and RL26

    Took my 28" PacNor barreled 30-06 to the range today to try the Reloader 26 loads.This thing is a beast with the 28" barrel.The 63.5gr load of Reloader26 with a 180gr Accubond clocked at 2992fps on my Magnetospeed and I tried 61.0grs of Reloader26 with a 200gr Accubond and it clocked at...

    Bullet jump?

    Every rifle is different no matter who the manufacturer is.As for bullet jump,I usually find good accuracy between .025 - .100 off the lands.There again,depends on the rifle and the bullet,they are different too and can vary a little from lot to lot as well.I have some rifles that when the...

    Back to the range with 30-06 and RL26

    I guess I need to revisit Reloader-26 in the 30-06.I tried it with 165gr Ballistic Tips and was not overly impressed getting 2860fps with 64.0grs and 2898fps with 65.0grs.That was out of a 26" barrel.Looking at the data above,the 180gr bullet is what I should be using with that powder.I have a...

    Why isn't there a 7mm 160 grn BT?

    This comes from Nosler's FAQ. What is the difference between the Ballistic Tip® and the AccuBond®? (Externally, they look the same except for the tip colors, Ballistic Tip® bullets are color-coded by caliber while all AccuBond® bullets have white tips. Internally the Ballistic Tip® is not...

    Why isn't there a 7mm 160 grn BT?

    I saw them listed on Nosler's web page earlier in the year but they weren't available yet.The last few weeks they were available on Nosler's page and SPS.Last night I looked on SPS and they 6 bags available,still available on Nosler too,so people have been buying them up rather quickly.The specs...

    123 Absolute Hammer 6.5 Bee

    Don't you just love it when a rifle and load comes together and shoots little bitty groups.Guy behind the trigger helps too.
