Ive shot 4451 in the 6.5creed and my 7x57 and both loadings performed great. I did NOT see any evidence of copper eliminating from the 4451 but you may or may not in your rifles. 4831 has been good to me in a 270 and Ive also used it for 140 to 150gr bullets in my 280 Ackley.

I'm looking to buy a used copy of Barnes #4 manual if anyone has one they don't like or aren't using anymore. Im aware that I can find most data I may need from their website but I'd rather have a print copy to add to my shelf. If anyone has one they'd be willing to part with let me know...

I have one of the sauer 100XT in 9.3x62, and it has been extremely accurate. They are really nice guns, and apparently have great barrels. Id totally buy another one. This one has been accurate and its a breeze to carry in the deer woods. I carrried it hog hunting one day and walked 13.8...

I got my first dose of Pfizer on Jan 20th (I work in a Federal Prison) and just received my 2nd dose on Feb 9th. First dose only thing I noticed was a REALLY, sore arm. 2nd dose was no site injection soreness or any other side effects. No chills or fever or flu like symptoms for either dose.

Thats cool that you got the old rust bucket to shoot again. Im sure your cousin was happy. My rifle is a Sauer 100 Ceratech and it also is twisted for 1 in 9 1/4". I recently did some load development for a 200gr Accubond and it literally shot 3 in 1 hole with both powders I tried. I have...

Been working on finding a load for my 8x57 with the Hornady 170gr SST. I tested this bullet previously but I have well over 200 of these so I figured Id try some other powders and seating depths. I loaded these today with Winchester 748 and a Remington 9.5 L.R. primer and I seated them at...

Im not trying to highjack your post, but I have some pictures I thought Id share in regards to the 150gr ELD-x. I loaded them in my 280 AI this past deer season and was able to take 3 deer with them. The first 2 were bang flop DRT kills that were 55 and 125 yards respectively. The last deer...

I bought some Ramshot BigGame to try in my 8x57. I havent tried it with a variety of bullets yet, but the ones Ive used BigGame with have shot great. This load in the picture is a consistent producer with the Speer 170gr Semi SP. At some point down the road I plan on shooting some BigGame in...

The 7mm 165gr game changers aren't new for 2021, I've got a box of 100 on my bench shelf. I haven't shot them yet but plan on using them in my 280AckImp. Ill likely start with Reloader 23 , 26, H1000, or IMR 7977 and I'll be using data for a 168gr pill to start. Supposedly Sierra is releasing...

I have made a good effort the past couple of years to stock up on components because I had an inkling it was going get crazy during the election cycle. I also bought several powders / bullets / primers that I just wanted to try in a given rifle. Once I develop a load with any given bullet /...

Do yall think in the future that they will add data for ramshot / accurate powders to the database now that they have purchased western powders ?

Its possible I you might have read this already, and if so, I apologize for repeating myself. My father had a good friend Ron who was a rifle looney like the rest of us. He owned a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 7x57. He sold the gun to another mutual friend who never used the gun much...

Lots of good suggestions and as someone pointed out already, much can be said about 2 important things. 1. Shot Placement 2. Bullet choice. I believe they both go hand in hand. Assuming that your friend can shoot decently, and assuming he or you can handload it will open many more options up to...

Congrats on a fine rifle and a fantastic caliber. Im sure you'll get some great use and make many memories with it. 3 Years ago, my dad gifted me one of these in the same chambering. Since then its gotten its fair share of use. Ive developed several loads for it, but for whitetail deer, the...

I havent been serious about Muzzeloader hunting maybe ever. I havent really cared about it since about 2011 and that was the last deer I killed with one. The last Muzzeloader I had was a Remington and although revolutionary at the time, it was a real pain to clean it. Since 2011 the world of...

That is a stellar bull and a great memory. Once in a lifetime stuff. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks, the rifle was a flat dark earth when it was purchased but I painted it. I tried to emulate the KUIU Vias camo pattern but I didn't quite hit the correct color scheme. He likes it so that's all that matters I guess.

West Virginia Firearms Buck Season opened on Nov. 23rd, 2020. At the same time, Antlerless season was in select counties so a hunter with both tags in his pocket could put some meat in the pot. Opening day was one for the ages. My father, son Brandon, and a good friend from work Grant, and I...

Im late to the party on this one, but I thought Id share my limited experience with the Nosler ETip in a 270. If I recall correctly I was loading these with 58.0gr of H4831sc and a Federal 210 L.R. in Winchester brass. Rifle was a Remington 700 with a 22'' tube. This was from a buck I killed...

Forgive my ignorance but what is HBN ?
