Working up a load for a friend in 28 Nosler.
RL-33 is doing great with 195 Berger EOLs.
Problem is that RL-33 is scarce as hen's teeth.
Anyone tried WC872? My buddy HTDUCK on here used it in his 7mm STW with great success. Similar cartridge . . .
Looking for powder options for the...
I'm considering this caliber for my next build.
I know most are going with a short action. Make sense to build on a long action to take advantage of more room with the longer bullets?
Looking at a 1:7 barrel for longer, heavier bullets. 75gr AMAX, or some of the new 90gr+ pills.
I haven't decided if I want to go this route. Just thinking out loud.
Good afternoon, fellas. Haven't been around in a while.
BUT . . . the RADD has kicked in, and I'm pondering a new toy. I'm going to buy a donor Rem 700 long action from a buddy, and looking for calibers that I "need". :)
With all the recent hype about the .224 Valkyrie, I thought - why...
Now that the season is over, tinkering on this load workup again with some different bullets.
Looks like she really likes RL-22 and a 129g ABLR.
Dr.Mike, can you run the QL on this combination? Thanks!
I've been doing barrel break-in and load development on my Dad's Mauser 98 re-barrel. It is a 26" X-caliber 8 twist. Seems like it wants to be a shooter.
Anyway, I shot 50 rounds of new Norma brass on Saturday during break-in. Then on Sunday I sized, trimmed, and started doing load...
Will do. I went with the SS barrel. I've been through break-in and fire formed 80 rounds. Started development yesterday with 100gr TTSXs and she really like them with Hybrid 100v. But after discussion over on that thread I didn't realize it was temperature sensitive. I'm going to retest...
I'll be following this discussion. Shot some test groups with .25-06AI this morning to find a powder to start load development. H4831, H4350, H1000, Hybrid 100v, RL22. The best group of them all was Hybrid 100v, 1" group at 200yds and 85 degrees.
I was about to ask the temperature question...
After a couple of years arguing with my son's Mauser 98 in 25-06, I recently got it back from the gunsmith, sporting a new Shilen 26" 1:9 barrel in 25-06AI.
80 fireform loads down the tube with new brass and just started load development this morning. Going to start with 100 TTSXs and maybe...
Anyone have a cheat sheet for the Sinclair bump inserts? Looking them up on the Sinclair site didn't help. Just shows part numbers.
I knew I should have recorded the couple I have. Trying to remember which calibers are marked 17A and 20A.
If memory serves, one of them is '06 and one of...
Just ran across this post. Glad you didn't blame me for this one (for a change). :P
That's a fine rifle, and its quite a shooter. I was impressed. TruOil looks good!
