I think he asked Glen Campbell for guitar lessons and they became friends. Yes, Glen was that good.

I looked at Blue Dot, but it used more powder than the Unique loads and was below 50% of the case volume. I used 13 gr. of Blue Dot and a 60 gr. Hornady SP in my 223 to fill my freezer a couple years ago.

I live in a rural area outside of Eugene with a such a huge excess of does that ODFW has a controlled hunt for the area. I try to limit the noise when putting meat into the freezer combined with a need for a DRT shot placement, which has lead to some interesting hunting loads over the years. My...

What??? They didn't call a bear negotiator to determine what lead them to break into the house and give them a fuzzy toy to defuse the situation.

I stopped by the Albany Sportsman's Warehouse on Sunday as their website shows a bunch of different primers as being available There are no primers at the store and they haven't had any for some time, per the gun counter staff. They tried to pawn if off as an error with the inventory software...

An answer looking for a problem....

Thanks Mike. I have the final piece of information to compare QL and GRT to the actual data from my rifle.

I'm in need of some 224 Valkyre QL data using IMR 8208 in a 20" 1/6.5 twist launching 80 gr. Berger VLD bullets at magazine length. Much appreciated. John

Not much of a count, but I have fun hunting even if I don't bring anything home. 338 WM in the coastal forest of Oregon Coast. 280 AI on the high altitude grass prairies of NE Oregon.

GRT predicts 13.0 gr of H110 resulting in 1800 fps @ 25kpsi

H110 has been said to be the original 30 carbine powder, if not it's close to optimum. At a 1.940" LOA, 16.0 gr. of H110 has a 98% fill and GRT predicts 2125 fps @ 45k psi out a 16" barrel. I tried single loaded 110 gr. SP bullets out of my M1 carbine and the 1/20 twist didn't spin them fast...

Low velocities as in subsonic? If so, 4227 and H110 burn rates are too slow for the application. 3 gr. of Unique would be subsonic, but the chamber pressure would only be ~9,000 psi and have less than a 40% case fill.

In my 7x57 fitted with a 24" barrel I use: 50.0 gr. of RL-17 pushing a 140 gr. NBT at 3070fps according to my LabRadar. I also have a stash of 170 gr. Lapua ammo that clocks 2632 fps.

That's a neat mount. Wouldn't it keep you from taking down the rifle, not that it's frequently done.

9.3x62 predates the 30-06 and delivers more zing than any of my Whelen rifles including the 375 Ackley. Pick you favorite sub-30 caliber cartridge and the 9.3x62 and you're set for anything in North America

I love running cast through my 375 and 416 rifles. Of late I've been using IMR 7383 because its bulky and I have a bunch of it.

If the 30-06 factory ammo was loaded to the same pressure as 270 ammo, there would be less 300 magnum rifles sold. With RL-17 and H4350 I can crack 2800 fps with a 180 gr. bullet out of a 22" barrel.

I was using GRT and with a 26" barrel and SF powder pushing a 130 NBT simulates to 3300+ if the rifle has a long throat. My 270 is a Rem 700 with a 24" barrel and I shoot 130 NBT into tiny groups with 57 gr of RL-17 loaded to 3.378" and according to my LabRadar it's doing 3234 fps. That's a...
