Our family 7-08 has accounted for several deer with 120 ballistic tip. Farthest deer we have had to track is about 60 yds downhill.

Do you think I would be better off using a Nosler ballistic tip or Hornady Interlock at that velocity?

I know I posted last week asking which bullet for the 243, ballistic tip or partition. I also posted previously about load development for the 130 gr TTSX for the 270. Well I started on that yesterday and it did not really take long to figure out that my rifle likes that bullet! I started with...

Fotis I am pretty good on powder. The youth 243 that we have likes H100V and IMR 4831.

I probably should have mentioned that the rifle used for this application with be a youth model with an 18 inch barrel so velocity probably will not get to 3000 fps. All shots will be in a food plot that has the longest shot distance of 95 yards.

IMR 4831 was the first powder I ever used in my 7Mag and it is excellent in my rifle.

Does anyone have any on game experience with these new bullets from Remington?

Which would you all suggest for deer out of the 243? I have never used the 95 gr ballistic tip but have used the 120 gr in 7mm and love the results. I have used the partition in 243 and killed deer dead just did not get the blood trail I wanted. Any suggestions from first hand experience is...

Bow 270 win (most of my deer) 30-06 7mm-08 7mm Rem Mag 50 cal muzzleloader

Glad to be back checking in with all the fine folks on this forum. I have not posted or even visited for a while. Honestly missed it. Finally got moved into my house and got most of my reloading stuff organized. I had asked questions previously about where in my house I should reload. I settled...

Nice work Brian!!!!

Thanks for all of the input. My son has shot a lot rifles for an 8 yr old. He loves his 243 and and he has shot the "family" 7-08 a lot. Killed several deer with each. I honestly do not know why he wants a 308 so bad other than the fact that I do not have one and his cousins have their "own"...

My son is bound a determined to have a 308 as his own rifle. I have all of the equipment neccesary to reload for 308 and even owned a 308 a while back. However, I sold it to make room in the safe for my sons 243 that he got as his first rifle. That being said I do not have a lot of experience...

With 54.1 gr IMR 4451 and a 130 bullet I can get 2950 with 55 gr of H4350 I am up to 3000 with a 22 inch barrel.

Was anyone seen any Winchester large rifle or large rifle magnum primers? All of my load development has been done with those primers and I am really not wanting to change. I have seen some Federal primers but again wanting to stick with Winchester if anyone knows where they are being hidden.

So I ordered two packs of 95 gr nosler ballistic tips in 243 from shooters pro shop for my son's rifle. Have been dying to try them out. When I opened the box I was surprised to find that one bag was the regular ballistic tips and the other bag had ballistic tips with the cannelure. At first I...

Thanks for all of the input from everyone!

I had an extreme interest in reloading and I had mentioned it to my father in law. He dug up so old reloading stuff (old CH press and other various accessories) and handed them down to me. Ever since I have been completely addicted. Only been reloading for about 4 years but do not plan on stopping.

So I apparently went a little hot when i was working up this load. I had already tried this combo out and got some great accuracy (post regarding 270 good enough for elk). I used 54.1 gr of IMR 54.1 which quick load says is a bit hot. I did not get any pressure signs at all. Was considering...

Thank you so much sir! I value the time you put in for the members we have on here.
