The Sierra bullets are somewhat known for being thinner jacket and explosive on impact but they do kill very nicely and rather quick. I think if you go with either weight bullet and stay with Partitions or Hornady interlocks even Speer hotcor or grand slams you’ll see better performance with...

I use Varget and IMR4895 both for 150gr loads and both at 45gr. The varget shoots .52 and 4895 is .40. I just happen to have the 165 BT and was leaning towards 4064 but I have 2 other powders that shoot very well so I was kinda questioning myself as to why use another powder

Just seeing what people preferences are in 308 win. I have a decent for deer 150gr load but I’m looking to load a 165 NBT. What powders do you prefer are there any “known” good loads? This is used for hunting whitetail deer in central PA from a tree stand or on foot. Shooting from 30yds to about...

I’ve got a few boxes in 270win both 130 and 150 Hornady IL. I guess my question is is there a speed limit on these type of boolits and I assume for my distances in PA woods they’re good for a 270 on whitetail deer. I don’t know much about the round nose other than 30-30 rounds do these 270’s...

Whitetail are not hard to kill at all. I shoot them with my bow out to 50yds with an arrow traveling around 300fps. In 7-08 ive used the Hornady IL 139 Nos AB 140 around 2800fps. They go down

Thanks JD pretty much the route I want to take just wasn’t sure since I’ve never done this before. Someone cut down the money tree in the yard so I have to make more informed decisions

I primarily hunt deer in central PA from a tree stand and walking around. The b&c stock was ok nothing bad about it just no other experiences. I would not get a thumb hole stock and can manage weight. I'd like to stay around the same weight as the accustock now but if I can shave a little that’s...

I’d like to hear your thoughts on the stock. It was recommended to me to get a Boyd’s wood stock and have it pillar bedded and then glass bed the recoil lug and rear tang to have it free float the barrel properly. I have no experience with Boyd’s the only stock I replaced was on a weatherby...

Can you elaborate a little on what you like this is the trigger recommended to me.

I can’t say I hate the accutrigger on my Savage 110 but I really just don’t like it. I mean it works and I can shoot the rifle well but I know there’s better out there. Mainly what I’m looking for is a better trigger feel on my finger and more consistency in group size. At 100yds with my hand...

Mine are the same it’s just an indicator of it being a magnum vs the 210’s. It’s just color and has no effect on performance

Well this confirms my accuracy of my h4350 load at 210yds. He was limping pretty bad and has marks all over both shoulders

Had a pretty successful range day today. Was there from 9-3 brought several rifles and a few different loads for each one. Most shot very well did a charge weight test in 243 with imr4831 and RL22 and at 43.5gr imr4831 I popped a primer; my first one ever most likely my last as well. I have to...

I’ll give you foti dollez…see what I did there

Yea it’s same powders I’ve just never done it before and unsure if it was safe to use or just fertilizer

I’ve got one in 308 and it’s one of my favorite rifles. Use bright orange nail polish on the sight bead. Easily removed as well with nail polish remover

So I was given some powders by an older gent I know who is getting out of reloading. Some of the canisters; as far as I can see; have been mixed. One of the imr4895 is full right to the top of the container and one of the varget is well over a pound. How much does this matter? Lots are from 2014...

I just received a Forster benchrest seating die for 270win. I got a Remington 700 from 1971 that I need to put in some work with so I figured I’d try the die out with this one. I gotta say just from opening the box on the die I can see a difference is quality or maybe attention to detail but it...

I’m shooting 30gr 3031 with Hornady 170 RN open sights and usually 2.5” at 100yds slightly bett if I bring my glasses. I’ve had good success with 4064, 4895 as well as 748 but at this point only load 3031/170. My best 150 load is with h335 the receipt is on the can I use Hornady 150 or Sierra

So this is kinda what I meant by “standard” ie starting at book length then increasing but not the case obviously. I normally start at .020 but I’ve had instances where my 243 in particular where I’ve jammed it into the lands .005 and get good groups and I do know a guy that does benchrest and...
