Price, supply and 100x projectiles per box. I reckon the range is generally pretty good for all my hunting applications.

I ran my 6mm Rem with the 70 Nosler BT’s and it was like a laser. The irony for me was that is shoots the 95 and 100 grain projectiles more accurately, the opposite of what brought the cartridge down originally. If only Remington had put the right twist on their barrels originally, a mighty fine...

I have been using the 215SGK and the 225NAB with RL19. The 215SGK is a really good bullet on deer, though can be a little destructive on shoulder meat. The 225NAB I used to slot a big camel in central Australia. I stuck it behind the front shoulder where it took six steps and folded. I then put...

My sons 270 will shoot just about any bullet and powder combination well, it is really nice to work with. For 130’s we have settled on H4350 simply because it works and is easily found. Very accurate and speed is fine.

I was surprised by the list of powders and how little variation there was in performance. Clearly accuracy is the key but seems like a lot of options…at least when the world goes back to normal. Thanks Jim for the table.

No we can't get Norma or any of the Winchester powders either. I believe we are even struggling to maintain supply of our own homegrown shotgun powders. Bit dire eh ;-)

Such a good cartridge the old 6mm Remington. Mine seems to shoot almost all bullet weights very accurately. I have found RL22 works really nicely with the 95-100 grain bullets too.

I was using RL22 with the 150 Nosler ballistic tip in my 7RM. A fantastic bullet and has never let me down. RL22 on the other hand is as rare as hens teeth in Australia now...as are all alliant powders.

I have been using the hornady 150 eldx in my 280ai for range and hunting. It has proven to be highly effective on red deer doing a complete pass through on shoulder shots at ranges from 75 to slightly more than 400 yards. It is also nice and accurate, good BC and I like to practice with what I...

I have a couple of packs or 162eldx waiting for the chance to get in the 7mmRM. I have been using the 150 Nosler ballistic tip with a lot of success over RL22. Thanks for posting your load as I have a good supply of H1000 so seems like I am all out of excuses right now. Time to get busy at the...

What is it?

Reckon Winchester are getting in early for Aprils Fools 😝

Thank you for the Hornady data, much appreciated. I wondered whether the load data was more max for the copper bullet? The ADI load data for the Hornady 139 grain projectile had a max load of 43.5 grains of varget running pressures at 50,000cup with the saami spec running 52,000cup. I just...

Thank you very much, that is great to know. I liked the shape of 42.5grain load better, that just solidifies my thoughts more so.

Hi Guys, I finally got my 7mm08 barrel threaded onto my rifle and finally got around to shooting it. Seems to go pretty nicely through the tedious run in process. I have been using Hornady 139sst in Norma brass. Two loads stood out, 42.5 and 44 grains of Varget (AR2208 as we know it here)...

I think I will start doing that because I have difficulty with sticky bolt lift and chambering occassionally and I think it is more a result of the neck-sizing than being related to overpressure issues. Just wondering whether they are two separate issues? Perhaps the chambering issue is more...

Poor old 25 calibres hasn't had much love in the last decade or so. If I owned a 25/06, probably wouldn’t have a few other calibres in my safe. Incredibly versatile with todays quality bullets. Good shout

Swan barrels here in Australia with a 1:9 twist.

Just wondering if anyone has done any chronograph work on the 7mm08 regarding Barrel Length. I am dropping off a 243 to get a new barrel in the aforementioned cartridge and haven't settled on a barrel length yet. Most of my hunting is in reasonably open country where shots can range from circa...

Was talking to my son about a good short range bolt gun for heavy timber. We were both pondering the merits of a short barrelled 338 Federal.
