Thanks a lot gentlemen.

I appreciate all of the suggestions. Several of the suggestions I have already tried. Not real sure what my next steps with this rifle will be. I have never experienced any pressure signs so I may just need to carefully creep up the powder to try and get the velocity (end result kinetic energy)...

I have a Ruger American in 243 (22 inch barrel) that has proven to be very accurate with 95gr SST bullets and 65 gr V-Max bullets. I have been working on developing a 95 gr Nosler ballistic tip hunting load for this rifle. What I have noticed over the few years that I have owned this rifle and...

Got around to shooting this weekend. I stayed a little uner max with Reloader 17 and my 4 shot average was 3040 fps, sub moa and produced an SD of 5. My rifle like Reloader 17 and I know I can get more velocity with different powders, heck I have done it myself. But, for KY whitetails I think...

Shot a good group the other day .781 inches out of my 270 with the 130 gr Nosler ballistic tip. Powder was Reloader 17 at 55 grains and I got an average velocity of 3125 fps. I have never gotten close to that velocity in my 270 so I was very surprised. I was hoping for approximately 3000 fps. My...

Guy I have some of the 125 gr Accubonds. I worked up a load using Varget and it they shot well. I did not chrono but I plan to revisit it here soon!!

Thank you Dr. Mike

i hate to ask and I know it is not ideal for the 7mag but my rifle really likes Reloader 17. Rifle Tikka 7 mag with a 24 inch barrel Powder Reloader 17 Bullet 140 gr Barnes TTSX Primer CCI Large rifle magnum I would like to try and work up a good load for this bullet and I cannot find any load...

Was able to do some shooting recently. i have been trying to work up a 308 load with the 130gr Barnes TTSX. The rifle is a black Friday Cabela's special Savage axis 2 with a 22 inch barrel. Powder was a below max load of BL-C2. The top hole you see in the pic is a fouler. The bottom hole is 3...

1:8 should shoot anything the 1:10 will only shoot the standard 270 rounds. Go with 1:8 and see what you get.

Thanks for all of the responses and information.

As I stated in one of my goals for 2023 I want to learn the 308 I have in the safe. So I picked up some new powders to try out. Accurate 4064,2495 and CFE 223. I want to try and do a ladder test. I have done them before using my chrono and going up in powder charge .2 grains for each load. My...

Find a second 3000 fps some moa load for my 7 Mag using 160 gr bullets. I have a new 308 and a 6.5 creed in the safe. I want to learn and load some good deer hunting loads for the 308, keeping bullet weights between 125 gr and 150 gr. For the 6.5 I want to develop a load with 95 gr Vmax. For the...

The original family 7-08 is probably going to become my go to deer rifle or at least a back up, and the one I got my son will be his for sure!!

I bought my first 7-08 as a family deer cartridge. I was tired of taking a 243 and one my rifles (270,30-06 etc) when I would take my son hunting. I loaded it with 120 gr Nosler ballistic tips and the first season we had it it accounted for 7 deer. I shot one and my wife and son shot the rest. I...

The dang bikini tops took this thread the wrong way fast!! I started reading trying to think about how to help you, now I am thinking about............LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a box of 125 gr Accubonds as well as a bag of nosler second 125 gr accubonds. I plan to work up some loads with them.

I have some 125 gr SST's and decided to try 46 gr of H4895. Bingo! First try yielded a 3 shot group of 0.685 inches. Appreciate all of the great input from you guys!

Thanks for all of the information!!

Yes Fotis, the chrono MV average of this load from a 4 shot group was 3025 fps.
