Good news Woodleigh have their factory up and running again so give it some time and stock will be out there. I have the 140's for my 7mm-08 and I would rate the live of dead they produce at 11/10. They are possibly the best all round hunting built manufacture there is, though from memory they...

So a box of Barnes 7mm 140 grain TSX's are $93 and Nosler E-Tips are $105. I have never used Nosler E-Tip's before so are they $12 better than Barnes? I know it's only $12 but with the cost of living these days, a little saving here and a little saving there adds up. Right now I'm not seeing...

You won't. Both options will work fine. Happy shooting

I suggest you go and use the load data from the original manufacturer. Both the powders you list are made by ADI in Australia. The real name for Varget is AR2208 and H4350 is really AR2209. Check out there website http://www.adiworldclass.com.au/data-rifle/270-winchester as it is a really...

I have never seen a 270 Winchester not in a 1:10 barrel. 150's are at the top end for standard 270win's and I use 52.5g of H4350 (AR2209) for pushing 150's out of my BRNO ZKK in 270w and it shoots sub MOA with it all day long. Everyone I know that shoots 150's out of their 270win use that...

Not that different here in Australia. Hornady is smashing it. As for Speer, they started drying up a couple of years ago and I'll grab a box of 170 flat noses for my 30-30 when I stumble across them. We did get an injection of Nosler Ballistic Tips into the market just before Christmas but...

I could do the trade but freight across the Pacific Ocean and my government's absolute fear of anything that starts with an "f" and sounds like "irearm" will prevent it from every happening. They would also be sending a hypcrotical message after all they hard work they have been doing to scare...

In both by 7/08 and 270win, I find that the Accubonds don't seem to group as tightly as other projectiles like the Hornady SST or Sierra Gaming. That said it's not a huge difference, somewhere between .25 and .5 of on inch which is nothing as it still is within a minute of pig or other game I...

Shame there is no ADI powders as I need to keep trying to remember which types of powders ADI make for the different resellers like Hodgson and what they rename it to....still a handy chart though

I pay very little attention to barrel length in reloading manuals. That said, I think most of my manuals list a 24" barrel length. I didn't realise that Nosler used 26" until this post.

I haven't shot factory seconds in years, only because down here the are hard to get. My experience with another brand of factory seconds is that they killed as dead as the factory firsts. Some may have had slight nose deformity (but buggar all), some had light scratches etc, but for the more...

I'm guess they don't come shrink wrapped because they don't need to be

Not an issue. If your exact bullet isn't listed then go with another of similar kind eg if your 180gn is a cup and core, then select another 180gn, preferably cup and core, and just work up from minimum. If the other in my example wasn't a cup and core but bonded then I would still do the same...

I use the same load for similar results in my Rem 700 using 140gn Nosler AB's....though I have no idea what my COAL is as I never measure it

I use AR2208 (Varget) with my 7/08. Great thing with the '08 is that it is so versitel when it comes to powder. I've also used AR2206H, Bnech Mark 2 (both for lighter projectiles) and of course AR2209 for heavier projectiles as well. Most people I know use AR 2208 like me and several other...

I have a bit of everything (excluding Norma and Laura thought I heard Norma make Hornady???) and not a huge amount of difference to be honest. Because I hunt a bit, I do buy a bit of Winchester simply because it's cheaper and given I don't always come back from a hunt with all my brass, I'd...

First off, how does it shoot before messing around with trying to extend or seat deeper? I can honestly say that I have no idea how close or far any of my loads are from the lands. I start with the projectile sitting as far out as possible while still feeding well from the magazine and it I...

I've been using 150gn GameKings for years and they are awesome. I recently found som 140gn Accubond's, but given their scarcity where I live, I'm too scared to waste any doing load development :) I'm in a catch 22 situation

If I consulted my reloading manuals, I could be proved wrong, but I'm not aware of any manual that gives the case length of the cartridge that they actually tested. As suggested, they all give you SAAMI spec or min and max case lengths, but not the specific case length that they have used...

The follow is from the manufacturer. As you probably know, the manufacture's name for Varget is AR2208, Benchmark is Benchmark 2. Here is also the link to the powder equivalents http://www.adiworldclass.com.au/powder-equivalents/
