Thanks for the info! I am pretty new and inexperienced at reloading for the 308. Eager to learn!

I want to load either the 130 gr Barnes TTSX, 125 gr Accubond or 150 gr Ballistic Tip in a 308win. I have some powders on hand to try but I have quite a bit of Reloader 16. Anyone tried R16 in 308? Alliant only lists data for R15 and R17 in 308win. Other powders I can try are Varget, IMR 4064...

I had nine pieces of brass left in a batch that needed to be shot in order for me to resize all of the brass in that 7-08 box. So I decided to do a little velocity testing. I created three 3 shot groups with 3 different powders, R16, R17, H4350 with a 140 Nosler ballistic tip. I loaded each...

Yes, some. I was able to buy some 6.5mm 140 gr ballistic tips today from Midway.

I am betting you get some killer velocities with those long tubes!!!

I agree and understand what you guys are taking about regarding loading manuals and the data they publish. I always use the guides as a starting point for me to develop safe loads. However, I just find it pretty senseless for Nosler to publish data for a 7mm-08 using a 26 inch barrel when 99%...

Great job and great story!! Very happy for you and your girls!!

I spend a lot of time researching reloading data. Mainly because I like to learn and my wife is either reading or watching something I don't care to watch on TV. As I look at the 7-08 nosler reloading data I notice that their test barrel is a 26 inch Wiseman barrel. How many people have ever...

I have had some very good luck with 95 gr bullets in the 243 using Reloader 19 and IMR 4831.

My son is getting a Browning X-Bolt composite stalker in 7-08 with a vortex scope and my daughter is getting a savage axis 2 xp in 6.5 creedmoor with a vortex scope. My mom expressed interest in getting my son one "big" gift this year instead of a bunch of small gifts. So he is a getting a CVA...

Cabelas had a black Friday deal of a savage axis 2 for $299.99 if the buyer used their cabela's club credit card. Since my daughter got her first deer this year I decided I would get her a new rifle for Christmas and figured since they were so cheap I would grab a 308 as well. I had been wanting...

Thank you so much sir!!

Brand new to trying Ramshot Hunter. Was wanting to try it in my 7-08 with a 120 gr Nosler Ballistic tip. 22 inch barrel 1 in 9.5 twist. Can't find any data for this combo. If this is a dumb idea just tell me.

22 cal is a Marlin model 60 .22 24 cal is a Ruger American .243 I picked up at a pawn shop for $100. It was a steal considering how accurate the rifle is. 26 cal is my new X bolt in 6.5 creed 27 cal is my late fathers Remington 700 ADL .270 win that I have taken more deer with than I can...

I have came across some R16 and some R17. I have several different rifles that I want to try them in. That got me thinking... what is the best way to begin testing a new powder in a rifle and with a bullet and seating depth that is already proven for you? I like to try and save components and be...

Took the kids out again this Saturday morning. My daughter was extremely patient and able to connect on her fist whitetail. The 243 with a 95 gr Deer Season XP dropped the little doe right in her tracks! My son who was hunting with us was able to catch it all on video with my phone. She was...

Because every hobby I have revolves around the outdoors and I thoroughly enjoy the "black magic" of finding the perfect rifle load, and then trying to find it again.

Enjoyed this post a lot. I just recently got a 6.5creedmoor and the bullet that I want to develop a hunting load for is the 120 ballistic tip. I have had a ton of luck with the 120 BT in 7mm-08 and can see no reason why it will not work very well in the 6.5creedmoor. I have just started the load...

Brian I do not. I am just using the stem that came with the RCBS die.

So I am having some issued with loading for Suzy (the 6.5 creedmoor that I just recently got). I bought a set of RCBS dies to load for this rifle. I am using Nosler virgin brass (not factory seconds). Bullets I am using are Nosler 120 gr ballistic tips. As I am doing load development I like to...
