    220 rnbt bt

    Just FYI, the recommended barrel twist rate for this bullet is 1:8 or faster. Many with slower twists have seen it start to keyhole at 50 yards. YMMV.

    Loading .45 Colt for rifle

    I prefer the jacketed flat nosed 300 grainers from Speer and Sierra in my Henry all-steel 45C. I like the greater penetration aspects. https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/pr ... ctId/17699 https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/pr ... ctId/17367 Bludot, L'tl Gun, 2400, H110 powders will get...

    Nosler 30-30 150gr Ballistic tip

    Seems the part # covers the 165g BT and 150g BT loaded ammo (DDG search). The 165g BT is listed in the Nosler 2018 Catalog. It can be found here: https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/pr ... ctId/11760 The 150g BT round nose is no longer listed in the catalog. However, the Silver Tip and...

    .308 220g BT

    I'm curious of how this bullet would do at supersonic 308 Win or short barrel '06 speeds - 2300-2500 fps. Would it hold together? Any experiences other than at subsonic speeds?

    QL for .22 64 gr Nosler BSB?

    In 223 or 5.56mm, the BSB will not chamber with a COAL of 2.260". It is not pointy. The recommended OAL is 2.175". Cartridge : 5.56 mm NATO - 5.56 x 45 mm Bullet : .224, 64, Nosler Bond SB 38135 Useable Case Capaci: 24.663 grain H2O = 1.601 cm³ Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.175...

    What I want for 2018 The 24 Nosler

    Needs more fatter: 6mm Rem case capacity ~ 54.4g water 308 Win case capacity ~ 56.0g water Think WSM fat (with RL26, 33, 50). :twisted: 270 WSM case capacity ~ 79.5g water + With min barrel length of 26".

    What I want for 2018 The 24 Nosler

    Hopefully, its for a long action with a case at least as fat as a 308 Win but longer yet not as long as an '06 case so a "heavy" bullet can be seated out and will not take up much powder space. Also, a fast twist, 1:8 or faster.

    220 Grain RN Ballistic tip??

    IMO, it would be close to and maybe a little less than that for the 220g Partition semi-spitzer: https://load-data.nosler.com/load-data/ ... ringfield/ However, this bullet was meant for subsonic and low sonic speeds and may not hold together well on game when pushed harder.

    Reality check on a 280 Remington load

    More rationalizing: Considering the small jump to the lands and that the partition part of the bullet is like a mono-core at or near the ogive (more resistance to lands engraving), the higher pressure thus higher speed would be reasonable. IIRC in the musings of Ken at 24hourcampfire, the...

    Reality check on a 280 Remington load

    QL allows modeling for your load's COAL to have the bullet's ogive on/into the lands (no freebore). In that case, the forecasted pressure is close to but below 58K psi and the speed is very near to what you are seeing. This may or may not be your issue. "Powley Computer calculator..." Ken...

    220 grain BT for blackout

    Concerning the boat tail & high BC: For its intended purpose - shooting subsonic (max MV ~1000-1050 fps) with a suppressor, how else are you going to conserve energy, minimize come-ups & wind drift at 200-300 yards? ETA: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/58956 ... -box-of-20

    22 NOSLER

    I would not be surprised if the 22 Nosler was something similar to the 220 Howell. Long action required, based on the 30-06 case with a 1:8 or 7 twist. http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthread ... Cartridges

    556 with 55 and 60 and 64 grain bullets

    I’ll take a “shot” at the question. QL does not model for the Wylde. However, since the Wylde chambering pressure would be slightly lower than NATO (~62.3K psi) and higher than 223 Rem SAMMI (~60k PSI), I’ll set max to 61K psi to compensate (SWAGE) for the chambering. Max pressure would be...
