That is great. I am a fan of the oldies. The new rifles look good, but the old ones have that pure hunting rifle look. I am one of the wood stock fans as well. Not that big a fan of the synthetics. They look and feel a bit cheaper. JMO. I love linseed oiling my old winchester model 70...

Thanks, and that is great advice. I may go back and load up some of the IMR4350 rounds for this rifle from the reload data that my dad has and shoot some rounds. It would be fun to see what it shoots like with that. I have shot about 3 boxes of enforcement match grades through it aand it...

I have just finished reloading another 8 rounds of 46.0grs Varget and the 165gr Part. Also loaded another set of 4 rounds of 44.0grs Varget and the 165 Part. Heading to the range on Tuesday and will see what it looks like again.

Ahhh Thanks I will have to do that in future, so they are not so big. Hopefully.

I confirmed that both Nosler Manuals #6 and #7 have the same data sets for the 165gr bullet and Varget powders. Hodgdon's site has this data for 165gr bullet .308 Winchester: Bullet Wt(Gr.) Manuf Powder Bullet Diam. C.O.L. Grs. Vel. Pressure Grs. Vel. Pressure...

Antelope_Sniper wrote: N6, with a .308 size case I'd use .5gr increments. A full grain is fine for a RUM size case, but too much for a mid size case. If you start at 42gr and load 4 per increment, one box of 20 takes you to 44gr, the book max. This will provide a moderate increase of 2k PSI...

According to this table 46.0grs of Varget is a "DAGEROUS LOAD DO NOT USE" and 110%, so a very compressed load. This is now starting to have me slightly worried and confused. If it is 110% capacity how do I get the powder in enough to start seating the bullet?

So I guess I am going to load up a few more 46.0gr Varget loads and head back to the range a try it again. I did not see any signs of over pressure on the cartridge at all. I did have a case seperation, but I believe that one due to being my older Dominion brass that has been reloaded 10+...

Thanks guys. I am a bit confused though as some info that was written on Canadian Gunnutz was as below posted by some others:: "46 gr of Varget is a fairly hot load with 155 gr bullets out of a bolt gun with a 30 inch barrel. I would think the same load with a heavier bullet out of a lever...

I know I am probably boring many with this info request, but here goes. I have just loaded and tried Varget powder and 165gr Nosler Part bullets for my .308 Browning BLR which I believe is a 19.5" barrel. The results vary, and I am wondering what loads have worked best for others with a short...

Thanks, I am going to load another set up and make sure I can duplicate this success again before fully committing to this load. That being said it does look pretty darn good when I look at it a day later. That old rifle has always been extremely accurate with IMR4350 powder. I am looking...

That is great shooting. I am currently switching to Varget and have been playing some today. I did just post a couple pics of what 44.0grs vs 46.0grs were for me. I am not a fan of max loads, but the grouped was very tight except for the one pulled shot. I might try the 44.5grs and see what...

Well I finally got to the range after recovering from a knee surgery all winter. Again I am shooting a 1970 Browning BLR .308. I use 165gr Nosler Part bullets and switch to Varget powder. Looking at the data from the Nosler #7 manual it shows that 44.0grs of Varget was their most accurate...

Hey Vince I have used IMR4350 powder in my 30-06, 165gr and 180gr Nosler Pt and .308, 165gr Nosler Pt for the past 30+ yrs and it has worked great. Very reliable. I am going to try Varget for my .308 and H4350 in my 30-06 just to see what the difference is. As long as I am at the range having...

I have not seen my new #7 manual yet as it is still being shipped. I will have to go through the 30-06 and .308 data sets very carefully and see if I can find any differences. Hopefully it is not a manual that will collect more dust than get used as much as my #6.

I could'nt have said it better. My Win Mod 70 30-06 with the 180 gr Partitions has never let me down. All animals that have been hit with this bullet have dropped pretty much where they stood. I have never tried the Accubond, and was considering trying until after info gathered I really was...

Thanks Guy, I am so excited to get to the range as soon as I am able to try them out. I am planning to sight them both in for DOA 50yds. That will make it more fun to stretch them out to 100yds and farther.

I have just mounted scopes on both of my dads old Cooey Mod 60's. They both have a slight off set for scope alliagnment. Has anyone come across this and I am assuming for a 22LR it will not be much of a factor once sighted in for 50yds. I know a centerfire rifle would be a problem. Has...
