I recently had a very similar problem that even included a metallic popping sound occuring as I would lower the ram, lowering freshly seated bullet/brass combo out of the seating die. I found out that when seating on top of compressed powder charges, the seating cup was not only leaving the...

I'd like to have a 200 gr Ballistic Tip which would compare to the 200 AB in 30 cal. Cheaper practice! :wink:

If I read your question correctly, here is a link to a very simple ballistic calculator. http://www.handloads.com/calc/ Just plug in some variable and you can play all you want. :wink:

To me, your question has two meanings. I was born and raised in Escondido, Calif; about 30 odd miles north of San Diego. The Army brought me to Utah in 1983, of which I retired here, in Mapleton in 2002.

BB, Forster are every bit the quality of Redding and cheaper in price. If you decide later you want to try the bushing route, fear not. Contact Jim Carstensen of http://www.jlcprecision.com/pages/1/index.htm He will convert your Forster, RCBS, Hornady, etc FL dies to a bushing die for...

Let me ask the question differently. What are the weights of Winchester Norma Lapua Nosler in 30-06?

I've used Win brass for years. Plan on trying either Norma, Lapua or Nosler brass. I'm not so much worried about quality with the 3; it's the volume I'm concerned about. The Nosler web site they are heavier than Win/Rem. The Nosler tech rep said they were on par with Win. I'm looking to keep...

Imperial Sizing Wax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been reloading since 1974 and the 30-06 since 1975. No novice! Rem 700 w/ ultra light, 22", 550" diameter barrel at the muzzle. Have lots of experience with the 4350's, 4831's, H4895 and H414. Want to try the Reloaders (19 and 22) using both the Hornady 180 Interlocks and Nos 180 BT's. I...

Too cool Pop! Too cool! Thanks! Big Al

I love my 180 AB's and BT's in my 30-06. These pics, to me, prove the BT will perform well in Elk at '06 velocities and that it has been "beefed up" as has been posted by some but not trusted by many. http://longrangehunting.com/ubbthreads/ ... &fpart=all I can practice and shoot Elk with the...

Mark, Just last month my 15 yr old daughter announced to me she wants me to teach her to shoot. Besides startling with a .22 RF, I want her to learn with my Rem 700 in 30-06. So, I went to the Hodgdon web site and tried their reduced recoil formula for the 130 gr bullet. I used the Hornady...

Called Nosler today. 180 grain, 30 cal Solid Base are primarily made for the Federal Premium round. Excess over tuns are sold "only" on the Nosler web site. Oh well. Bought some 180 BT's at the new Lehi, Utah Cabela's.

HE4F, No, not a shop. 'Bout 4-5 years back, set up a web site to pattern shotguns for customers. Published some articles in Shooting Sportsman magazine. Business never took off. Most people don't understand shotgun patterning and the effect it can have on your success. Anyway, since my...

Other than Nosler's web site, where might I obtain 180 gr 30 cal SB bullets? I've tried on various web sites that typically cater to shooters as well as 1-2 wholesalers (I've got an FFL).

Not this year (2005), but next, a good friend and I are planning an Elk hunt utilizing an outfitter's services for a drop camp hunt. We both have all the camping equipment necessary. It's the means to get all that gear back into and then out of, to include meat (hopefully), an area away from the...

Steve, I know this post is months old. It's Conference weekend and....well, you know! A number of years back I took down a big in the body (4 skinned quarters went 500 lbs at the butchers in SLC) 6-pt Yellowstone bull on the Montana side of the park. I was shooting the 180 pp partition at...

Yep! Finallized my LOAD early yesterday morning. 57.6 gr H4350 and 180 AB gave me 2740 fps from my 22" Mag-Na-Ported barrel. Groups at 250 yds were running 2.5" to 4". Big Al

Simple and easy to use. http://www.handloads.com/calc/ Big Al

Actually, I have been trying H4350 and the 180 AB this past few months from a very customized 20-year old Rem 700 ADL which had the 22" barrel turned down to a toothpick. The muzzle is .550" and Mag-Na-Ported. Overall rifle weight is 6 lb 9 oz w/o sling or ammo and a Leupold M8 4x. I had some...
