I have attempted to start development with H4350 and Staball 6.5. First attempt with 4350 got a group barely over an inch. First attempt with Staball got a group at .805 inch. I think I have a decent place to start.

Brand new to reloading for 6.5 creedmoor. Would like advice on powders that will make the 6.5CM shine. I want to try Reloader 16 but don't have any. Bullets I am going to try and work up loads for are the 120 gr Nosler ballistic tip, 129 gr Hornady Interlock, 140 gr Speer Hot-Cor and 143 gr...

I have a savage 7-08 and I was able to work a pretty good "elk load". I used 140 gr Accubonds and Staball 6.5. Was able to get velocity of 2920 which should be plenty enough for a 7-08 elk load inside 300 yards.

Yesterday I picked up a Browning X-Bolt composite stalker in 7-08 that is going to be my sons Christmas present and his rifle to use until he can buy his own. While I was picking it up I noticed a 6.5 creedmoor in the same model. So I walked out with both rifles. I had always wanted a Browning X...

I have tried that exact same combo of powder and bullet in the 7 mag just not that high of a powder charge. My velocity was way lower than yours. I would be happy out of any of those numbers as long as they were accurate.

So my brother has gotten into reloading. He has helped me some but never done it on his own. He loaded up some 6.5 creedmoor and sent me a text saying that he messed something up because the rounds would not chamber in his browning. Well he crushed the shoulder, badly...on 15 rounds! So I taught...

I have used Varget in our 7-08 and gotten excellent accuracy. However H4895 is my go to for our 7-08. In our rifle I can load 43 gr of H4895 and get a 120 gr nosler ballistic tip to shoot one hole groups while going 3040 fps. Not a deer in the world that can handle that within reasonable...

HAHA, that is my surplus practice 9mm!

Finally got around to taking some pics of my new reloading set up. Some of you may remember that my family and I just built our forever home. My wife was nice enough to give me a room in the basement for me to do my reloading. It is not perfect and it not yet complete. But it darn sure beats a...

I am actually planning on using the 150 ballistic tips out of my 7 mag for this year. I am not worried about velocity that much as my shots will be in the woods and within 100 yds. I plan to use IMR 4831 trying, 63 grains today to see how it shoots.

Congrats on a fine looking freezer filler!!

This past weekend was youth rifle season in KY. My son and I hunted Saturday morning and evening with no luck. Sunday morning no luck either. Sunday evening a group of three 8 pts hit the clover plot. My son liked this one so he put the cross hairs of the 243 where they needed to be and pulled...

So this morning I finally got to work on some 7-08 factory seconds brass that I had gotten from SPS. Brass did not look bad at all. I attempted to run all pieces through a neck sizing die and one piece of brass would not fit in the shell holder. I closely examined the brass and it is definitely...

Our family 7-08 has accounted for several deer with 120 ballistic tip. Farthest deer we have had to track is about 60 yds downhill.

Do you think I would be better off using a Nosler ballistic tip or Hornady Interlock at that velocity?

I know I posted last week asking which bullet for the 243, ballistic tip or partition. I also posted previously about load development for the 130 gr TTSX for the 270. Well I started on that yesterday and it did not really take long to figure out that my rifle likes that bullet! I started with...

Fotis I am pretty good on powder. The youth 243 that we have likes H100V and IMR 4831.

I probably should have mentioned that the rifle used for this application with be a youth model with an 18 inch barrel so velocity probably will not get to 3000 fps. All shots will be in a food plot that has the longest shot distance of 95 yards.

IMR 4831 was the first powder I ever used in my 7Mag and it is excellent in my rifle.

Does anyone have any on game experience with these new bullets from Remington?
