A fool and his money are soon parted. Think about it, how can that site have every powder and primer available when you can't find some of those offerings with the FBI and bloodhounds anywhere else.
When a place only accepts Venmo and Zelle but no credit cards as payment, listen, can you hear...
When I bought these 150 NBT's I was using them in my 280 and they shot really well. That was until I tried the 154 gr SST. The 154 SST is simply outstanding out of my 280 with IMR-7828. I really have no use for the 150 gr NBT's except as trading fodder for 154 gr SST's.
Ive got a good many NBT's hiding out on my reloading bench. Here's part of the 7mm 150 gr NBT's I bought just before all this bullet "unobtanium" started. I started not to buy all of these that I did but I sure am glad I did now!
I have no problem with using once fired brass. Ive used once fired for years and as long as the nut behind the trigger is tight my hunting rifles shoot half to three quarters inch all day long.
There's still three more years of this "Let's go Brandon" regime. I don't see powder, primer or bullet supplies being enough that prices will be on the decline. If I had found a supply of my favorite powder I would figure how much I needed and buy enough to last me through this POTUS.
When...
Those XTP Mags will not reliably open at 45 colt velocity. The Mags bullets are tough and were made for high velocity. The one on left is the regular XTP. The Mag is on the right. See how the jacket wraps over the nose of the bullet. This bullet is tough.
The Federal brass I have has turned out to be some very good brass. I have found that weighing brass is not worth the effort but the times that I have weighed the brass it has been very consistent. With that said, it's only used for hunting tho.
I found it several weeks back and it was too good to be true for me. They have powder and primers everytime. Always remember, a fool and his money are easily separated.
Ask yourself a question, how on earth does the site in question have primers and powder when the major players in the reloading/shooting industry are high and dry without. The only form of payment is Zelle. Proceed with caution my friend.
The times Ive used it in my 280 Ive liked it just fine. The only reason I don't use it now is I had a friend to give to me 5-6 hundred Federal cases a few years ago and I see no reason to buy any brass.
Im with Guy, it's been years since I owned a 300 winney. I never got around to trying IMR-4831. I had too much success with IMR-7828 and the 180 gr NP bullet. With that being said, you should find good success with 4831. Good luck
Sir, with all due respect what are you expecting Nosler to do because you can't find your preferred ammo. There's thousands of people in the same predicament as you. I'm sure Nosler doesn't want to lose your business but if you can't get your preferred ammo then there's nothing else left to do...
Ive got Big Game, H414, IMR 7828, and several other but I need a few pounds of Varget but it's scarce as hens teeth. Im scouring the powder places most everyday and on "notify me" lists most places. It'll show up at some point.
Unless you want to relegate your bolt action rifle to a single shot the magazine will be limiting factor in bullet seating depth. In most instances I alway start my seating depth as long as the magazine will allow and go from there.
Im not sure what you know about these bullets and you already may know this but when the 120 gr BT was first designed it was used for silhouette shooting. These bullets had a thin jacket and were not knocking the targets over. The complaining began. Nosler redesigned these by making the jacket...
Most times it makes little difference, however, several months back I substituted a Fed 210 GMM for my usual WLR primer in my 7-08 to see what the changed might be. I changed NOTHING but the primer. accuracy went from 1/2 inch to several inches at 100 yds. I had a few of the WLR primer reloads...
