Nice, good luck! What specific bullet are you going with? I shot several deer, including a nice old buck with the Lyman 429421 Keith SWC out of the same gun. They were very accurate, but deer always ran and blood trails were on the thin side. They never went more than 50ish yards, but where I...
I shot a small buck a few years back with a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter in .44 Mag that was massaged by SSK. I cast bullets from Lyman mold 429640 with wheel weights with a little tin added. With lube and gas check they weigh 270 grs. They shot quite well, putting a cylinder full under three...
I loaded some of these in a 6.5 PRC Tikka T3x with Staball HD. They were sub-moa with every powder charge I tried and smoked a doe around 100 yards. She went straight down & had a good exit. Definitely will play with them some more.
This is a 140gr Hornady Monoflex from a handloaded 30-30. This is the 30-30 version, not the 308 Marlin Express one. Loaded over Leverevolution powder and CCI primer in Hornady brass. I believe muzzle velocity was around 2200 fps from the 20" barrel of my buddy's stainless Marlin 336.
This...
I've not had any problems with 6.5 PRC in mine. Hopefully the new jaws fix your issue. The very few times I've had to call their customer service, they've been awesome.
Shot this 165gr Partition out of the trusty 30-06 into milk jugs. Shot from my TC Encore pistol with 15" barrel. Load was with IMR4350 & CCI non-mag primer. Velocity was just over 2500 fps and it was very accurate out of the Encore, about 3/4 MOA. Jugs were shot at 50 yards and recovered in the...
I've practiced with SST's because they match the BC of the Interbonds. Only shot one deer with one. Shot a large doe around 70 yards slightly quartering to with a 130gr SST from a 270 Win handload. No idea the velocity, probably 2850 MV. It wasn't a warm load & it was from a 20" barrel. She...
It sucks they discontinued them, luckily some can still be found occasionally online. I stocked up on the 130gr & 150gr .277 pills that both shoot great out of a custom 270 Win. A local shop had 7 boxes of the 139gr 7mm ones, so my buddy and I grabbed them. Thankfully we have other great bonded...
First post but I've been lurking for years. Absolutely love Nosler & Hornady bullets. A particular favorite of my hunting buddy and I is the 139gr Hornady Interbond in the 7mm-08. I loaded up some with Varget that shot well in his 20" barreled A-Bolt. Velocity was around 2715 fps. Shot into 1...
