That looks to be an awesome load combination. I know PT's can be very accurate a well.

One of the Whelen's biggest asset's, other than it's capable of any game on this continent, is relatively inexpensive brass source. And yes, all the rounds parented by the 06 great in thier own respects! You must be a traitor Dan :P When I lived near Saskatoon, all my neighbor's swore by the...

I really like the Whelen, I just have that need/want covered with the 9.3x74R. And budget won't quite allow for both. :cry: However, the 9.3/250AB having a higher BC than the.35/225AB in a stronger modern action than the Drilling, loaded to the same pressure has better ballistics. That and the...

I agree Also, I believe most know all or part of this, but thought it might be helpful to some that might not. As it's related to the discussion in part. It's thought that the ideal twist for a bullet would be a gyroscopic stability factor of 1 (each caliber/weight/profile has their own GSF)...

I couldn't bring myself to watch it either, as I knew he would persue his agenda regardless of what he said. But what I gather by reports, it was more an attack on values that made this great once. His directon is totally opposite of our Forefather's, and always will be.

I agree with Fotis on this. And the auto loading pistols too for that matter. The concept for other guns is cool however,,,,,if is is accurate and muzzle gases don't affect it.

Puzzling, ain't it Fotis. Then again, who said life was to make sense all the time. lol

Normally I have found in .30 calibers of different chamberings, 10 grs. can be very little to 100 fps or so range depending on bullet, case capacity, and the rifle like's itself. I suspect less in this capacity, as Scotty has a valid point on design. Without chronograghing the loads, no way to...

Yep, too many variables, proving each gun is a law unto itself. I would have to play with such myself for awhile, in order to figure out what may be the cause. Guns can just be plain fickle at times, but I have found it's best to load for the guns wishes, rather than my wants in general. In...

"This is somewhat a common misconception or use." I should have said, this "Bullet length + weight is what needs to be considered" is only partially true as commonly figured.

This is somewhat a common misconception or use. I use to go by this as well. It still is used by many because, for most it is hard to get an accurate measure of the nose length, ogive radius, and meplat,,(nose "profile") But the reality of it is, nose "profile" to center of mass that determines...

I need,,err, ok want one.

Some powder is flowing in this neighborhood, but sporatic in Mfg.,amounts, and types. Primers a few at each shippment as well. Not sure on the brass, but the stocks I seen looked sad. Didn't question any ammo either.

Charge differences are likely due to different test barrel be my guess. It isn't all that uncommon, however big as Guy mentioned. I go with Guy's thoughts/proceedure when it comes down to it. It's always good to cross reference data. Otherwise I go with the powder mfg., rather than the bullet...

I missed it earlier, but was thinking Hand Press, not the Hand Loader. Of which I'm not familiar with. I'm thinking partial sizing is out with it. I can't imagine sizing of with out lube on any, a stuck case is going to happen eventually. I certainly would think the lube is going to make life...

My son has my dad's Winchester Model 67. While it isn't anything like Match types, that rifle will shoot some amazing groups at 50 yds with the original open sights. As kid, I use to shoot flickertails (Franklin's ground squirrel) at distance's well beyond 50yds. with some pretty good...

What lube you using? If not Imperial, I would suggest getting some. For convienence I use the Hornady OneShot one some chamberings, but when dealing with that much expansion, it a bit touchy without getting too much or not enough on specially with hand press being a bit more so too. I had one...

That isn't all that unusual. It's just a tad roomy in the chamber at the web area. If you reload, I would set the dies just to partial size, or use a neck sizer. One just needs to make sure they will chamber with that process, specially in a break action. Otherwise complete FL sizing will over...

Even though I haven't a .41 mag, I think 265 cast would be good. I would might even go with Beartooth 280 or 300 gr. myself. I just personally think the extra weight would be a good thing when one has the possiblity of altercations with claws and teeth in those regions. I'm just not sure one...

I'd love to have a 5.5" BH Bisley. I haven't hunted with the .45 Colt round as of yet, but hope to next season, or maybe hogsthis spring. I know guys that have in BH with 300 gr. or heavier cast. They pretty much say the same results, quick kills hardky any tracking. I do cast and load it for...
