I’ve use it in 45-70, 270, and 308 Win. It’s been very good to me. Accurate and high load counts. It seems to be along the same lines as Norma brass. It’s better than Winchester, Federal, Remington and Hornady. In my opinion, only premium brands beat it. Starline also aneals very well.

I have used 240gr XTP’s and Win 296 to great effect on deer. 200gr XTP’s did well too. Never had a chance at a bear with them though. The XTP’s expand nicely but hold together very well. I have always had complete penetration on deer with them even if they hit ribs. There’s not much resistance...

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. There are some great people here that are very very knowledgeable. If we could get this atmosphere in a hunting lodge, the great hall would always be full.

As stated, glad you’re ok first off. I’ve heard people say it’s happened to them but never experienced it personally. I’d say carry on as you are, and contact the manufacturer. Use a different lot of primes until you get direction from the manufacturer. I’ve had some turn sideways in the primer...

Congratulations on a beautiful bird!

I’d settle for a little more effort in making what they produce now be in stock. .277 160 grain Accubond. Not a LRAB. It should stabilize from a 10 twist barrel.

5 days until I go out and try to pick a fight with a big Tom. Going Friday and getting camp set up. Friday evening go roost a few. Then the next morning go pick that fight. Gonna be a good day.

There was a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem at our local Cabela’s yesterday for $579 I think it was. Call the Centerville OH Cabela’s and they would ship it to your local store. It was in really good shape. I almost bought it.

I’ve seen here a few times that people have been looking for 200 grain .358 rifle bullets. American Reloading has them for a pretty fair price. In the past I ordered a few thousand steel core ball projectiles and they were quick to get them to me. Good prices as well. They are legitimate with...

You’ll love the BSB bullet. It’s one heck of a tough bullet. I don’t think a 308 could make one come apart. I’d trust them in magnums too actually. I may get scolded for this but they are tougher than Accubonds or Partitions. They are designed and marketed differently but damn tough. They are...

Sent the cashiers check out this morning via certified mail. The ball is rolling.

I’m going to have to go with the 308 Winchester itself as my favorite. It’s simple as to the why. My mom and dad gave me a Winchester Model 100 in 308 as my first deer rifle. Took my first and a few others with that rifle. It seems to always come up that the 308 Win is obsolete. There are deer...

I think I’ll start with IMR 4831, or Staball 6.5 under 130gr Partitions or E-Tips, if only because of the amount I have on hand. IMR4831 may not provide the absolute top velocities, but it’s within 50-75 fps of them. Also IMR4831 has been accurate whenever I’ve used it. I have a lot of faith in...

I may try finding some 85gr .277 E-Tips to try in it. It would probably be the “instant off switch” for Whitetails. Nosler shows 100 grain bullets at 3600+. I bet that little E-Tip would cook along at 3800+. See, what happens! I was fine. Minding my own, and BOOM……….i relapse! I’ve gone full on...

Wow, your RL19 load is smokin! If I read it right. Thanks everyone for the advice, I’ll take it all to heart. I’m looking forward to putting it through its paces. Edit: It’s a very high velocity cartridge and I 100% plan on letting it breathe. That being said, accuracy will be what I’m looking...

Thank you I’ll see what they say too.

I’ve got a set of Redding dies on the way for it. I suppose that made up my mind on whether to keep it. I sincerely appreciate your offer though. To be truthful I didn’t think I’d win the auction so it’s coming together after the fact. When the auction ended I looked at my wife and said “What...

I’ll give the bore a good scrubbing and let it tell me what it likes. I’ve got a good supply of powders I use for my 7mm RM’s that should get me started. As well as E-Tips and Partitions that I feed my 270 Win. The 130gr Partition would make a laser of a deer load in it. The E-Tips can handle...

No Magpro. I have IMR4831, IMR7828, RL22,23,25,26, Staball HD, Staball 6.5, and LRT. About the only thing I’ll need to track down is brass I think. I feel like theres powder I’m forgetting, I’ll have to look more closely.

That looks to be what happened I’m this case. I don’t think I’ve seen more than 3 Model 70’s go for less than this one did. I’ll wait and reserve the final opinion until it gets here, but I got it for what TC Venture’s are going for. Nothing wrong with a Venture mind you. I have one and love it...
