    35 Whelen Loads

    Nosler load data gives a better B.C. To the 225 partition than the accubond. Is that a typo?

    7mm WSM & IMR 7828

    That's what i use in mine with the 150 gr scirocco. Best velocity so far @ 3125 fps for 67.5 gr. I got 3230 @ 70 gr. and great accuracy but primers were a bit flat. So i droped down to what i considered normal velocity for the bullet used in that caliber. I tried H4350 first but couldn't get...

    Swarovski z3 on 375 ruger - done finally

    Really nice setup! I have a Z3 in 4-12x50 and i absolutely hate it... Now because of it, all my other scopes look like they're cheap :mrgreen: I always tought my nikon monarch was bright and clear. Now when i shoot with it after using the z3 i can't believe the difference, even in bright...

    Can't get the 60 grain partition to shoot

    in my limited experience coal seems to make the biggest difference in group size. last week i decided to play with my wife's rifle. for this gun i only tried 1 bullet, 1 powder, 1 primer, 1 coal. my wife limit herself to 250 yard shooting so 1.5" group was good enough. so i set the coal to...

    advice for a newbie at using the .223

    the groups with 25/ 2.300'' are the same load as last week i also tried other col to see but i will stay with 25 gr 2.300'' and try to improve the operator:D the fact that in the 3 groups using this load i have 3 shots almost in the same hole tells me that i'm probably to blame for the rest

    advice for a newbie at using the .223

    went to try the rifle yesterday. looks promising. i had to use h335 for powder, it's all i was able to find in stock. so it's the 55 ballistic tip, loaded with H335 at 2.300" COL. with new winshester brass and fed 205 primers groups were shot in round robin as asked by the OCW load method. i...

    Load Development -- Seating Depth First?

    ok!? but my 2.920" load has more case volume than my 2.865" loads. and it has more velocity/pressure... no?

    Load Development -- Seating Depth First?

    i've only been reloading for 4 years and for 3 rifles. so my opinion is not worth much but for me, in all 3 rifles, the longer the COL the higher the velocity. in my 7WSM for example, three 5 shot groups have an average of 3085 fps @ 2.865" (.085" from the land) the exact same load at 2.920"...

    advice for a newbie at using the .223

    thanks everyone i just passed the order, i will begin with 55 B/T, h4895, win brass, and federal primers. i'll let you know how it turns out. as for the reason for just one load, i lack the time to shoot as much as i would like. so learning real life drop and wind doping for one load ( plus...

    advice for a newbie at using the .223

    I didn't know much about the 69 smk. But after reading your posts i searched a bit and they seem interresting for my application. Only concern is terminal performance for hunting. Do you think shooting pop cans and windshield washer jug, filled water, and watching how they react, would give a...
