I’ve shot three deer with the 143gr ELD-X. The longest range was lasered 200y on a large bodied Minnesota white tail. Shortest was under 100 on a tiny Texas Hill Country doe. All three bullets exited with varying exit wound sizes, but the MN buck showed a very small exit that I could only find...

Holy cow. What are the specs on that warbird? It's beautiful.

Let me know how it goes!!

I recommend you go after IMR 4451. Same burn rate as 4350 but temp stable and seems to be easier to find. H4350 is also good but rare as hen's teeth.

This is the correct answer. The 125s will be too explosive at 30-06 velocities. You may give up some penetration with them, and if you hit shoulder you can kiss that quarter goodbye. Lean towards the 150+. Anything that ends with partition is a high quality proposition.

I bought some blems from Shooters Pro Shop for 30-06 but haven't loaded them yet. Really no other reason than I like the old school round nose look of old 30-06 ammo I was shooting when I was a kid. It was only about 20 years ago, but the ammo was my grandpa's and probably old enough to be my...

The FoxGrip sounds legit! I need to get out of this thread.

It's marketed as such but it's also in the magnum pistol burn rate section of the chart. It's basically rebranded H110.

I had to look those up when I got the email. They're new pistol and shotgun powders.

All my rifles get field time because I'm a nerd and like to rotate but the one that comes to mind when I'm forced to pick a favorite is a 280 Rem Model 70 featherweight. It shot like shit till I bedded the stock. My first bedding job and I was horrified the entire cure time that I had just...

Good call, it's not like I'm going to be at the range running drills with 22N ammo. It'll get zeroed and probably only ever get hunted with. I'd risk a couple pieces of brass every time I get a coyote kill for sure. Damn I thought I had myself talked out of picking up a barrel...and dies....and...

My problem is I don't like shooting semi autos in calibers where I have to chase down the brass. 5.56, 9mm, 300BLK I just let it fly and pick up whatever's convenient and don't sweat it too bad because it's so cheap in bulk. The Nosler brass isn't cheap and I don't imagine it will ever be. I...

What's a minimum expansion velocity for these? I'm thinking I should stick to the 300s in 45/70.

Another side effect of having a boat load of rifles is the to-do list grows faster than the range trips can cross them off. Zero the scopes on rifles that traded optics, work up new loads, etc. It starts to get daunting and range trips become a chore. I've implemented a two gun limit for range...

I've been lurking awhile and this post brought me out of the closet for my first post, because I can definitely relate. A little backstory. I have what I consider a well rounded collection. About five years ago my widower grandfather moved in with my aunt and my dad took custody of his guns...
