46.1 grains of rl17 seems to be the best shooting load. I went up to 46.5 grains and the accuracy wasn't bad on any of them. The hotter they were the more the bullets came apart so I think 46.1 will be a good place to stop. I am looking forward to putting them through their paces on actual...

Finally got a chance to load up some with the RL17 and do some shooting. Wow what a difference! Based on the data I am guessing my muzzle velocity is in the low 3000's. The max load is listed at 46.7 grains so I started at 45.7 and went up to 46 grains. The accuracy still needs some work but...

Picked up some RL17 this weekend and really tempted to grab some superformance. I wasn't happy with the expansion and if I can get close to the velocity they show in the load data it should improve the expansion a lot.

Finally shot some and I am not real excited about the expansion I saw from the one I could dig up. Barely any mushrooming on them from the 39.0 grain loads. The 37 grain loads shot the best out of my test rounds, but if the 39 grain loads barely expanded then the 37 were more than likely even...

Loaded up some tonight, but haven't had a chance to shoot them yet. My beloved H4350 is gone and I somehow forgot. I had to load up with some IMR 4320. Typically I start at the starting load and work up in .1 grain increments, but since there is not load data specifically for GMX's I tried...

Hodgdon loads for the SPR SP and the Barnes TTSX only vary by .5 grains. For h4350 with the Barnes it shows a max of 47.5 where the Speers bullet maxes out at 47 even. But the IMR4350 varies a fair bit more: Barnes- 48.0 vs Speers- 46.5. I have always read that IMR4350 and H4350 do not vary...

I had read that the LRX's are a bit softer than the TTSX's or TSX's. I don't understand why they would only make the bullets intended for long range softer. It seems to me that a bullet that is softer than the TSX/TTSX but not as soft as lead bullets would make sense. They should expand more...

I believe Hornady advertises 2000 as the minimum. I agree completely, but I do not hunt anywhere that require a shot over 200 yards and that is actually a rare thing. The norm is more in the 100 to 150 range. At those ranges no matter what powder I load with 2000 plus fps should be no problem.

According to Hornady when reloading for their GMX you can use any of their bullets of comparable caliber and grain weight, but they do not make another 80 grain bullet. Hodgdon lists the TTSX and a SPR SP (which I am assuming stands for speers soft point) both in 80 grains in their online data...

Well, they arrived today and I can't see anything that would make me think they are blemished. As soon as I get a chance to load some up I will share a report. Thanks again for the help.

With the Hornady Interlocks I got my best groups using H4350, but I tried IMR 4350 and IMR4831 so I have those to try out with the new bullets too. I was considering giving Superformance a try because I have read some good reviews and it is supposed tack on an additional 200 fps with .243 and...

The hornady website shows the GMX as a boattail bullet but since it is a computer generated image I guess that doesn't mean much sometimes. The 2 versus 3 grooves is pretty clear though. I noticed the GMX has a much larger hollow point and I like the idea of that....I have read about TTSX's...

I did not realize they had a 6mm GMX but then again I haven't look into the GMX really. Thanks for setting me straight. I will have to look into the GMX. I am curious though how you know the difference?

I know this is a Nosler forum, but I thought I might pass this along. Midway currently has 80 grain 6mm/.243 Barnes ttsx blemished bullets in stock for $23 per 50. From what I have seen that's 10 bucks cheaper than anywhere else....hard to beat that. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/678359...

Now don't get me wrong, that is a beautiful rifle you posted the picture of......but I wanna see the Savage 99!

What is the deal with the 95 gr partitions? i can find 100 gr and 85 gr but I can't find 95 gr partitions anywhere.....anyone have an idea why?

I assume that everyone has seen the small packs of various brand bullets they sell now for load development. It seems like a great idea, but the way I develop a load these simply won't work. I have always loaded in groups of 3 with the same bullet and powder.....as in 3 rounds of 43.5 grains...

Good to know.....but now I wonder has anyone every fallen into one?

First, congratulations on the ram! Being a flatlander I have only seen pictures of them and I never realized how big they are! That thing looks enormous with you sitting behind it. Now, as a flatlander I have to ask, what is the box in the ground in the picture?

What about Combined Technology BT's? Anyone tried them?
