Either 4895, or Accutate 2495 should put you in the neighborhood you’re trying to get too. Its burn rate is what your rifles were designed to optimize. You can also go a little below the starting load of H4895 to be at the velocity you want. It doesn’t create unsafe conditions when reduced...

Here is the Speer load data. You’ll be hard pressed to find many powders that will best H4350 in the ‘06. It’s temp stable, gives great accuracy, and close to top velocities. I have however hear many on here sing praises for SB 6.5 in your ‘06. I think it gets the best velocities of all powders...

Also, Cabela’s has Staball 6.5 for $53.99. Have it shipped to the closest Cabela’s or Bass Pro, you pick it up in store and they ship it free. When you have it shipped to store it gets free shipping and no hazmat charge. Certain days will have promo codes for a further discount. They will also...

I like the Gold Dots very much. I shoot the 150 grain variety from my 308 Win at 2980 fps and CFE223. A few things about this load surprised me. First was the velocity of 2980 fps while having no pressure signs. It’s a less than max Hodgdon load. Second, they are very consistently going into...

I agree with you completely. The Game Reaper 1 piece mount I have coming is specified for only the Howa 1500, and Vanguard. 700, 70’s, and Bergara’s all have different model and part numbers for their respective 1 piece DNZ mounts. The Burris FF-2 has 40 MOA of adjustment, BDC reticle, and has...

I’ve got a standoff with rings and bases going on right now, but when it’s over I’ll be putting the first rounds through a Weatherby Vanguard Sporter in 270 Win. The DNZ rings and base should be here by end of week. Hopefully I’ll get to the range, if not the range then a farm I coyote hunt...

I agree, I’ve not seen it until now. When I called Talley and DNZ they did say each thousandth of an inch higher or lower equals roughly 1 MOA. It was the first time trying them, there won’t be a second for me. They were one piece rings and bases. I knew better but was a bonehead, and tried them...

There’s nothing to apologize for, I thought I was losing my mind too when I tried bore sighting it. The Monstrum rings seemed sturdy enough, but their tolerances are way too lax. People shouldn’t run into this with model specific rings. As always, saving a few dollars cost me almost double. The...

I have a Vanguard Sporter in 270 Win that I bought new a few months ago. Hasn’t been fired yet. I also have a couple new Fullfield II’s, and 3 new Nikons on the shelf. I went with a new Burris 4.5x14x42. Well, I’m ashamed to say I didn’t go with my old stand by Talleys. I went cheap for no good...

I don’t understand how someone could put barrels like that out the door, much less charge those prices for them, THEN justify it! I don’t think age is the culprit with his crap work. I’m 54 years old and am just starting to feel like I have a clue as to what I’m doing. I’m speechless to be quite...

This is a really nice program.

Seeing as you already have the Partitions, I’d say your search is over for your bullet. If you simply want to try the 180gr BT have at it too. It’s a tough bullet in its own right. You’ll be fine with either.

First, welcome to the forum. I’m partial to the 270 Win and have 2 of them. Your 4350 will treat you very well with either 130, or 140 grain bullets. You’ll get a lot of enjoyment from your new rifle for years to come, and the 270 Win just flat works.

I use E-Tips in .224, .277, .284, and .308 calibers. I’ve found that they perform best with slower powders. Slower than usual burn rates have let me get higher velocities before pressuring out. Nothing crazy slow, just a couple steps slower on the burn rate chart. They have also seemed less...

I have the Hornady collet puller and like it fine. No complaint from me.

I got lost on that same road some time ago. I think I need to stop and ask directions. Lol

The two 7mm RM’s I have aren’t too bad. One has an X-Caliber barrel and pushes the shoulder forward .007-.008” when firing new brass, and a stock model 700 pushes it forward .012” respectively. The X-Caliber barrel also has a somewhat short throat. 175 grain ELD-X’s touch the lands at 3.350”...

Welcome to our group Steve. I’m glad your health has returned. There are a lot of great people here. Many friends. Scotty is one of the best without doubt.

I meant to mention this but didn’t. Ideally I want my belted cartridges to headspace on the shoulder, not the belt. Headspacing on the shoulder lengthens brass life dramatically.

The Hornady comparator is what I use for headspace on all rounds I load for. It will give you your chambers exact dimensions after measuring a fired case. It will also tell you how much your brass stretches during firing by comparing new and fired brass. If you want general headspace readings...
