I believe my grandpa still has standard RCBS dies I will probably use. If they are not carbide, I would assume I still use case lube? Also, is reloading data fairly universal for like weight bullets? Meaning, can I use a starting load for a 158 grain JHP with 158 grain coat cast? Does normal...

Hey guys, I have always received sound information from the members here and appreciate the amount of knowledge present. With that said I wanted to reach out here for any tips you guys may have for starting to load for hand gun cartridges. Here is a little background info. I have loaded for my...

Thanks guys! Just shot the .300 WSM out to 500. Looks like my dope is dialed in! I’m planning on hunting an area that has a lot of clear cuts and gated roads, so hopefully we can either glass one up or stumble on one while still hunting. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will be out looking for my first bear here in WA again on the August 1 opener. I’ll be camped in the NE corner for a couple days with my wife. We each have tags again this year and are looking forward to the trip! I will be shooting 200 grain partitions out of my 300 WSM and she will be loaded...

I own a Hawkeye in .243 Win that has been my go to deer rifle for the past 12 years. It’s a solid MOA gun with 95 Ballistic tips. I also loaded for a Hawkeye in .280 that one of my buddies had awhile back. He didn’t keep it for long, but it had nothing to do with the rifle. It was an MOA...

I did the same thing last summer and bought a 2019 Classic Big Horn which has still has the old body style. I love it! Congrats on your new truck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used H4350 and 85 TSX for a few years on deer and it was a solid combo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

120 Nosler Ballistic tip, Rem brass, CCI BR2, 45 grains of Varget. Used in my wife’s Ruger American Rifle Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am in need of some old 6mm 85 grain Nosler solid base bullets. They have been my grandpas go to in his 700 BDL .243 Win for longer than I have been alive. He is down to 9 rounds left for this rifle and since the bullets have been discontinued we have not been able to find any. I would love to...

I’ve had a few sets of talley’s over the years and still have 2 rifles wearing them. A 300 WSM and a 6.5 CM. Never had a problem with any of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have very little experience with it, but I just mounted a used one on a rifle for my brother in law. The scope did not appear to be babied... it was pretty dinged up on the outside, but glass was still in good shape. I mounted and sighted it in, so only shot 10ish rounds, but it seemed to...

Thanks for the pics! I have to work through Saturday, but the wife and I will be headed up Saturday evening to camp and try to fill a tag or two! The August 1 opener is pretty clutch for me. I’m usually too busy with work in September to hunt bear, so this year I should get 3 solid weekends in...

I just started messing with these bullets in an Xbolt 7-08 I picked up. First round of development with varget showed most groups around 1” at 100, with a lot of “2 in, 1 out”. This was at mag length which is .033 off the lands. Next step is to test seating depths, so out of curiosity, how far...

I’m running varget and 120 b-tips at 3050 FPS in my wife’s rifle. I also run IMR4350 with a 150 b-tip in my model 7 that I hunt on occasion. I’ve never chrono’d that load, but even at max book load, I bet it’s slow. It impressed the hell out of the one buck I killed with it though. Sent from...

Sorry, double post.

I have used H4350 with 180s in the past. RL-19 with 165s and currently RL-19 with 200s. You have plenty of good powder options with the WSM and shouldn’t have a problem finding a load with 7828. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did a lot of development with 130 accubonds and had similar results to the 140s. I had some decent results but nothing spectacular. I did not try anything under 130 though. The one thing I can say is, 140 btips are hell on coyotes! Dropped another with it this morning at 438 yards. Those...

I realized I never updated this thread, sorry for that! I sent my rifle back to Bergara last fall to be checked out. They did not find anything wrong, said they cleaned excess copper out of the barrel and re torqued the actions screws (both of which I did prior to contacting them). They sent it...
