I have seen those program results in the past. I have never dealt with compressed loads before other than a very lightly compressed load of 3031 in 45-70. Just how much can you compress? Compressing makes me nervous. What kind of velocity might I get with that RL19 load if I backed it off to...
I bought some Accubond 130's and some Hornady 129 SSTs. I am going to crank out my first loads for my new Hawkeye Predator Creedmoor. I have 4350 which is supposed to be a good powder for it. I have some TAC. It works well in the 243 and 308, So it seems like it'd work well in the Creedmoor...
I had a 7600 Whelen. It's one of those guns I could kick myself for selling. The most hair raising encounter I have ever had in my life I had hunting Kodiak browns in a thick fog holding that gun. I standardized on 225 grain bullets. I never measured my speed. Accuracy was satisfying with...
It seems like for as long as the run on reloading supplies has been going that Nosler (and other manufacturers) would have been able to adjust to increased demand. I want to be loyal, but other bullets are starting to occupy spots on my shelves.
I think part of my confusion lies in the fact that Nosler has none in their store and that Midway and a few other retailers had them on clearance a while back. On top of that, many places are out of stock and at least one had them listed as discontinued. Sorry to my friends at Nosler for the...
It looks like more and more partitions are being dropped from the catalogue. I can't imagine that this hasn't been discussed here before, but in a quick search, I couldn't locate any threads. If one exists, please steer me to it. If not, what is the reasoning behind dropping so many of the...
Pop: Looks like from the volume of responses today you had a little spare time on your hands. I have been amazed at how accurate my GG is. It consistently groups Hornady 350RN's under an inch, but I'm not sure I have the impact velocity to reliably open it up. I feel like the partitions are...
To me Nosler has always stood for affordable quality. The Nosler rifle breaks that tradition. Any chance Nosler will expand the rifle lineup to make one more affordable to the masses?
I posted a similar question about the 125 gr BT. The 125 will perform reliably in deer size game out to normal 30-30 ranges. In fact it keeps a better energy and velocity level than the more traditional 30-30 bullets. I haven't started loading for the 30-30 yet, but I think you can safely...
Nosler 1: Losing the front and rear core seems unusual to me. I am sure you guys have subjected the partitions to some torture testing. Have you been able to get one to shed both cores like that in lab testing? My experience with partitions suggests this is an anamoly, but it has me curious...
I am interested in using the 125 Ballistic Tip in a 30-30 (non-tubular mag). At what velocity range will the 125 BT reliably penetrate and expand in deer sized game.
Does anybody have any load data or have any first hand hunting experience using this bullet?What kind of muzzle velocity...
If my wife makes $20/hour for overtime, how many hours of overtime would she have to work to buy me one of those sweet new Nosler rifles for Christmas?
I'm a forum junkie of sorts. While I have never shot a Howa, the forum reports on them are generally quite favorable in all respects. Howa makes a number of different guns. They made some of Mossberg's centerfire rifles and they made Smith and Wessons too. I owned one of the Mossbergs in...
