Thank you Jim. That will do just fine. I averaged BC based on time of flight over each range bracket and gave the 168 a .425 and the 175 a .490. Many thanks.

where are some on line websites for calculating and printing a 100 - 1000 yard range card for 168 and 175 grain match bullets? My old Sierra program is obsolete (MS DOS). Thanks!

the beer barrel profile of rear core when it drives forward into partition makes the bullet look "weak" but it actually by accident I suspect, has a purpose. It helps support the expanded mushroom much like a thick jacket does. I have shot quite a few 458 caliber Swifts, 400, 450 and 500 grain...

Load the 300 win mag to 3.6 OCL with custom barrel and throat and you will add another 100 fps. Old school 1000 yard set up. Where is 300 weatherby data? Can someone post QL data with 190 and 210 grain?

I called Hornady and talked to one of their reps. I said I would be shooting in a 16 and 20 inch barrel 1-9 twist AR with NATO chamber. They did not have NATO pressure loads for that bullet even though ogive was designed for AR use. He suggested IMR 3031 and Win 748 for best combination of...

Has anyone run Quick Load data for either LR bullet in the 300 WBY? I have a 1-8 twist barrel 26 inches long. thanks! (Or did I miss it somewhere here already?)

I have added data for the excellent 500 grain Nosler Partition. Due to word limit I cut and pasted remaining article after the 550 grain Woodleigh over to the Conclusion section. The Nosler has the most penetration of any 500 grain soft point. As such it will be the first choice for many...

500 GRAIN. Pictured L to Rt. 500 grain Barnes X, 500 grain Kodiak, 500 grain Swift, 500 grain Speer TBBC, 500 grain Woodleigh PP, 510 grain Winchester PP. 500 grain Barnes X. It is difficult to estimate the frontal area of an expanded 500 gr. Barnes X because it has such a complex shape. I...

I will insert photos as I have time. PREMIUM .458 CALIBER BULLETS c 2005 by Andy Tillman Raising and butchering North American Bison as a young man graphically taught me that a high impact velocity with a premium bullet of large sustained frontal area...

The 64 grain boned solid base nosler is fur friendly. CFE most accurate and highst velocity in current noselr manual. It is stable in a 1-12 and was designed to be shot in everything the FBI has from short barrel AR's with only a 1-9. It is fairly expensive but you can look for deals like I...

A 400 grain .416 that expands to 82 caliber will have the same penetration as a 400 grain .458 that expands to 82 caliber. Statements above are accurate for FMJ's except there is a form factor for the heavier bullet. the one w more momentum will generally penetrate more. Bullet weight is...

Fotis, A 450 grain 416 soft point at 2200 fps will not necessarily out penetrate a Lott with a 500 grain at 2200 fps. Energy divided by unit of frontal area predicts penetration of a FMJ of identical design and configuration pretty well but does not take into acconut stability. But...

Fotis, Sorry about caps. Stuck for some reason. My comments may be more appropriate for the reloading or bullet test section, so move if you think so? Wbygunner, FACTORY AMMO. For 375 Nosler factory ammo I would much prefer the 300 grain NP to the 260 or 300 Acubond. I have used the 375...

Which Ruger are you using?

Thanks Fotis. Andy

Nice rifle but the bolt is on the wrong side?! I think you will save money in the long run by just shooting one load in each rifle you own. Stick with your hunting bullet (the partition or accubond). By the time you get your cheaper bullet sighted in and regulated to your hunting ammo you can...

I Googled this and was disapointed in choices. Is there a high quality long range ready rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmore? If not, who makes a good barrel for it in a Remington or Tikka bolt gun and also an AR style gas gun? thanks!

The Deep Curl is not really a bonded bullet as advertised. It is similar to the old Remington Power Lokt and current day Speer gold dot or Federal Fusion. It is a copper plated lead bullet. As such, it requires high SD and relatively low velocity to perform well. The copper electro plated...

Ridgerunner and I are on the same track. My very accurate (Sinclair built) Tactical 40X with Badger Creek AI magazine conversion and McMillan stock, w 20 inch barrel is almost bench rest quality. More accurate than I am as a reloader or a shooter. It will hold 168 Federal (2680 fps), 175...
