While Hodgdon has it listed in the Swede up the 140's bullet weight, load density is a tad low for my taste. But in this situation, that's not saying it might be worth a try. It certainly can't hurt. Who knows, it just might shoot well, and all ends well. On the other hand, maybe just sell it...

I understand, and not saying anything against choices or thoughts in general what so ever. I did not really consider how many of what you use, as it did not matter. Although, your findings with the above you just presented, are good enough for me in your use/wants. It wasn't so much what was...

I agree with all above for the most part. Personally, I'm in the .300 camp myself, with above mentioned practice on a single shot action. Of which I have used nothing but, for years,. Otherwise the good old .30-06 for that range is another alternative either imo. Can't wait for the new...

No intention of dis'n the OP, just saying for the new person to the shooting/reloading fraternity. Interesting yes,,,,, helpful begining, I'm not so sure. Each rifle barrel has it's own set of rules, so I'm not quite sure other than it's always cool to see other's results are, how it helps...

When anything is threatened in our shooting industry, all are subject to supply and demand. Seems most are taking no chances, I can't say I blame them and do the same myself. Just again, the mfg's sold more (likely a years worth or more), in such a short time. And likey double that of "09"...

Nobody is going to respect his forbidden whatever, when he and his troop of tyrants been breaking laws from day one. I hadn't seen the original photo, but just knowing what I believe, I highly doubt he has ever picked up a firearm prior. It's totally against his grain. JD is totally right, the...

Good to hear States standing up to the Feds.. And yes, the Blackmailing will be as it is already I believe. Feds don't want State's Rights as they once were,,,,,,just one central control of the Elite power. The domination of power and two class system is the goal. The Elite Bureaucrats have been...

Same thoughts here! Stripped and 12-13 coats of hand rubbed Tung would help that wood a lot. But shouldn't be necessary for the "grade" however. Looks like an oops that got by the QC.

I really like the 6mmAI myelf, with two rigs here with different twist rates for specific use's. However I agree, an 8.5" twist would do well for most as well. I also really like the Pac-Nor SM Polygonal rifled, if you don't mind the plug for a rebarrel blank recommendation. For me, it just...

Yes, it is a couriosity indeed. But like your thoughts at 300 yards or so, the flight characteristics between the AB/PT really don't matter, other than accuracy. Personally I would prefer the PT myself with the use's mentioned, if the MOA accuracy of either in one's loads are close.

Yep, I totally agree.

Only rational explanation I can think of, they are mathmatically figured and it's just a glitch in the program, or typos of some sort. When I ran comparisions on these two out of curiosity, I just did some correlations to another caliber of like SD's. The .420-.430 seems about right to me for...

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

I go to Scheels as well when in the neighborhood of 40+ miles away. However slightly higher priced than the more local family shop of 20 miles, the are better priced than your other corporate outfits. Also since the last major shortage, I found them what also seems to be a good barometer of...

Indeed!

Sort of like you Scotty, in the rather modest case capacity semi-wildcat 7mm that I have really isn't a speed demon, but I'm really looking forward to see what that 150 will do. What truely gets me excited about this design, is that low end velocity threshold. The BC surely helps both on...

Just in time for fairly decent load developement temps here. Can't wait to try some 7mm's aand .308's.

Indeed Mike. Jim I also heard but have not taken the time to verify as yet (mostly cuz it wouldn't suprise me it true) ,,,HS had 2 million 5.56 rounds ordered. And that was supposedly already close to 2-3 yrs ago.

I'm sure it's market/sales driven. Handgun hunting is still a relatively small market niche. Specially with what I suspect, the greater share of HG hunters are most likley not wanting the dollars tied up in a Premium bullet like the Partition. Most I know, like to plink/practice with the same...

I would like to think they just play his mind games, then stick to thier oath to the Constitution. If this indeed is going on. One being fired, and got the news by way of the media, has me thinking it is.
