OK - It's been forever since I made the original post and I finally got to the range with time to try these.
Instead of the NBT or Accubonds, I ended up loading this all with 165 Sierra Game Kings and all shooting was done with the HCR Harvester Plus with a 20" barrel.
The control group was...
Hi -
I've asked for help on the forum so I thought I would post some info that hopefully could help someone else. My goto for 308 is a 165 Nosler BT over 45gr of Varget. In a 22" Ruger 77 I get 2700fps and it is super accurate. I also have a 20" Hill Country Harvester Plus that gets 2640fps...
OK - so it's been a long time. I got the gun back from Mitch Schultz a month or so ago, the owner of Gunsmithing Limited in Southport CT. He's in the old Ruger building and does a nice job with everything. I had him bed the action, rework the trigger and remove the factory sling swivels and...
OK - so thank you everyone. So since my folks got this one for me I am kind of addicted to them. I have a 243 that was my dads, a 280 and another 30-06 that JES rebore made a 338-06. The 243 and 338-06 shoot great. I've never pulled the trigger on the 280.
Since DrMike could never be...
Hi -
I am looking for some help with my 30-06. I have an old Remington 725 with a 22" barrel. I believe this gun has the 1/10 twist. I've always shot 180grain factory loads out of it with good results. Mostly good results for killing deer, I never really put a lot of rounds through it...
Hope everyone is having a great holiday/hunting season.
I have a question about reloading the 243. I am trying to work up some 100gr Nosler Partition loads. I am using Nosler manual 8 and they list 47gr max for H1000. When I try to load 45 grains at a slightly deeper seating depth (2.668 vs...
Great Rifle. I have a 243, 280, 30-06 and just had another 30-06 rebored to 338-06. I think they are about the most underrated classic rifle out there. Good luck with it.
Hey everyone. We're on our way back from Wyoming. Landed a big mule deer, buck antelope and doe antelope with the round in this post. Mule deer was at 335yards and dropped in his tracks. Buck antelope the same at 375 yards and the doe was at 250.
Ill upload some pics when I figure out how...
Hi-
I am new to the forum. I have found a lot of great info here and was hoping to get some more. I am reloading for my 7mm Rem Mag using the old partition gold 160gr moly free bullets. I had them loaded up with h1000 and got good accuracy out of a 24" Sako a7. Velocity was right around...
