What is the best method to remove unwanted live primers? I recently pulled some 300 RUM loads apart. I want to reuse the casings but not the primers. I could fire them using the gun but thought I saw some past postings about using the resizing die to remove them. Thanks in advance for your...

The Staph is now under control but still taking meds for maintenance as insurance so it doesn't return. I'm so glad I'm still here and I know God has taken care of me thus far. It's been a journey for sure. I'm slow at getting around but getting better. I only got to hunt last year a total of...

Nice buck there Guy!! Congrats on a successful hunt! Don

2020 has been challenging for this guy as I'm sure it has for others on here too. I had hip replacement surgery end of January then the middle of June I got Staph Infection in same hip only to have 2 more surgeries on same hip 2-weeks back to back. The set backs have been something. I had to...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm not unhappy with my current 200 AB load. Just interested in what the new ABLR bullets may have over the conventional AB I'm using and if it's worth the bother. I may not have the time to develop a new load till October anyway. Don

Can anyone share their experience and load data using the Nosler 190 ABLR bullet? My Nephew uses this bullet in his 300 Win Mag and swears by it. My rifle is a 700 BDL with a 26" barrel that is ported. I will add this, I'm intending to go for Elk in Colorado this year and just wanted a higher...

.358 200 grain spire point Partition and loaded ammo in 35 Whelen. This should appeal to whitetail deer hunters and do a really good job on killing power. Give Hornady a run for their money as well. Don

The new scope is a good improvement over the old Bushnell I took off. I have the same Burris on my 30-06. It's just so much brighter in low light conditions. The older the eyes get one needs to make some changes. :wink: I'm getting some good buck on the Trail Cams lately. Anxious to get the...

So I had a Burris Fullfield E1 3 X 9 X 50 installed on the Whelen the other month. Finally got to the range late last week to get it on paper at 50 yds. Gun is REM. 700 Classic with 22" tube. I shot my hand loads with 225 AB's that are clocked at 2677 fps. I also had some Remington factory ammo...

I cannot find one of these specific to the 35 Whelen. So, I'm posing maybe a dumb question to the Nosler Forum Members. Can I use a 30-06 Laser Bore Sighter in the 35 Whelen possibly? Thanks, Don

Hey Guy, Sorry for your loss my friend. I lost my Black Lab sometime ago. First time out hunting ducks after he passed was real difficult. I feel your pain. Hopefully your pain will ease with time. Wishing you much comfort at this time. Don

The 165 BT in my 30-06 has been deadly medicine for whitetails over the years. One shot kills were the norm. It was chronographed at 2833 fps from a 22" barrel. I since have jumped up to the 180 BT with the same great results. My 180 is 2788 fps. The bullet is very accurate and deadly. Don

Got the Whelen back from the Smith. The Burris E1 Scope looks real good. Anxious to get to the range to get it on paper now. 8) Don

I have the E1 on my 30-06 and really like the difference in quality from the previous scope. So having some gift cards from my Birthday thought I'd get another one for the Whelen. It should prove to be a good change after its installed. 8) Don

Just bought a Burris Fullfield E1 3 X 9 X 50 scope for the 35 Whelen. We'll see how it works out soon. It's replacing an older Bushnell that isn't so good in dim light conditions. Don

I was in Elk Camp a few years ago with a guy from Maryland. He killed a 5 x 5 Bull using 300 win Mag. with 165 Nosler BT. 300 yd shot through the lungs DRT. He said you can't argue with dead! It would not be my choice for Bull Elk but then I killed my first 5 x 5 Bull, same distance, with a 7...

Hey Guy, Yes I'm at 58.0 with H4350. I have the bullet seated out pretty far with this load as I do with the 165 BT load. When I developed the load, using once fired Win. cases, I never have had any pressure signs at all working up to this level. I've shot it in cold temps and up to 85-degree...

I finally got to put some loads together today using my new Forester Bench Rest die set. My load has 58.0 H4350 powder with CCI-250 primers. I have loads with three different seating depths to start the process. Anxious to get to the range now. All my loads didn't shoot worth a darn after...

I'll be anxious to get some loaded up soon to head to the range. 8) Will report back later. Don

Thanks for sharing. That's interesting! Don
