Entered Sierra book max loads using both 7828 and Re-22 for 160 GameKing and getting low pressures (high 30k's/low 40k's) and velocities (2600's). Case capacity seems correct (74 gr H2O) as is bullet length. COAL is per manual 3.325". I adjusted weighting factor from default of .5 down to...

For you 280ai shooters, what bushing size has worked if you're using new Nosler brass?

Have you considered H414, Re-17 or Re-19? I'm working on a 7x57AI right now and was looking at those three to go beneath 140 NPTs and 140 SPHs.

I bought a few hundred when Midway was closing them out (in their blue boxes). Down to last 50-100. Had a bright idea that I was going to use them in my 338-06AI, but I think they're more a 338WM bullet--I'll stick to 200-210's.

About 10 years ago, I was pinging the QL sales guy with a bunch of questions and finally (finally like in last email) he said something to the effect of "Buy it, you'll be happy!" I did. I was.

Anybody using Re-17 under a 120 NBT?

In my Ackley, I use Varget under 225 AB's. Shoots well.....every bit as good as my old Re-15 loads.

I still have a handful or two from when Midway was closing them out! Generally shoot 200/210/215 in my 338-06AI, though.

Good for SW. After becoming thoroughly disgusted with most sporting goods stores, I actually enjoy going to SW. Attention to hunters/shooters, like your class, is the reason why! Plus, the reloading shelves are chock full of stuff!

How much under?

Not the Lee thing again. I've used them for 20+ years with great results. Terrific value IMHO

IMR4350 has done fine for many decades in the snow, so I'd suggest considering it for your 180 gr bullets. Good velocity + accuracy in a Browning AB3 300 Win Mag.

After at least two years of trying to make Re-33 work under 130 NABs (too finicky/spikey), I've decided to go back to the drawing board. Retumbo sounds interesting, but the velocities are relatively low--at least in Nosler's data. Was interested to see their data as having a 4350 powder as the...

I used to crimp fairly often and shot some really tight groups with a Lee FCD. Now, I usually only crimp for lever guns, semi-autos and some big bore, heavy recoiling rifles.

Love mine, but the best thing about it is watching my buddies use it when they come over to reload. They think they're instantly benchrest shooters!

I got my 7-08 M70 Fwt around 2008 (pre-Big Game). Started off with 139 Horn SST and H414. Couldn't get it right. Worked up to book max Varget under 140 Sierra Pro-Hunter and was immediately sub-MOA both at 100/200 yds. Stopped. If I was beginning the process today, I'd probably begin with...

A quasi-update ("quasi" in the sense that I used a ball powder, CFE223 vs. Big Game). Tried CFE223 under 200 AB in my 338-06AI yesterday. Got great accuracy (only had time for 100 yds) especially with mag primer (CCI250); mainly used WLR but did a few with CCI mag primers and liked the latter...

TD, which bullet?

Specifically looking at using the 225 PT. Having trouble finding much load data. Ramshot's manual only has Accurate powders in it.

Trump should hire NSSF for border security..... :roll:
