    150 grain ELD-X and 7mm-08

    Not only heat but look out for moisture in your barrel.... I can tell you from experience many years ago on an Alaskan bush hunt that after 3 days of solid rain nothing in our camp was dry. When I finally did take a shot My ammo that was probably set up around 60k produced enough pressure that...

    Nosler brass questions

    A while back of friend gave me a couple boxes of 280 AI Nosler ammo to check the run out on and to fix on my tru tool if it needed it. I hate to say it but it had awful run out..... and it was probably the softest brass I've ever worked with as far as fixing it goes.... just the slightest...

    Cases not "sized enough"....now what?

    Fwiw... I have a Savage law enforcement series 308 with a pretty tight chamber. I have some other 308 that aren't so tight but are normal Factory rifles. Brass from those other guns still will not go into that Savage after a full length resizing with either RCBS or my redding body die...

    Unreal... Hornady and Vortex team up to make a bullet cam

    My buddie, who is a smart analytical guy, was only scratching his head because he couldn't figure out how come the camera wouldn't be spinning at high RPM. And I have to admit I was looking at it with a little bit of potential possibility until they said it was $10.99 for a box of ten.... that...

    Unreal... Hornady and Vortex team up to make a bullet cam

    It's a pretty well done little video..... a person scratches his head and wonders why the companies would let their employees do something like that .... on the surface it seems like kind of a waste of money but then you think of how many people are going to look at that and get a kick out of it...

    Case capacity question

    I will enter my guess and say it might and it might not. I was at the shooting range today with my 7mmo8 Scout rifle which is a break open single shot. It doesn't like hot loads and medium loads are about as far as you want to take it or it will start stringing vertically. I found loads with...

    Ruining A Good Load

    Well...youre probably smart to move on. I do most my load testing with four or five shot groups with new recipes. Last year I was working up a load for a friend's 3006 Ruger and I shot a sweet group at 200 yards right around an inch for 4 Shots with reloader 19 and 168 BT's. Just like your...

    Ruining A Good Load

    Putting your actual speed against you're hopeful speed.....on a ballistic chart..... even if you got your top speed it would be drained down to your actual speed in the first 75 yards.....not a huge deal if you think about it.

    Ruining A Good Load

    Fwiw..Just checked newer Hornady and lyman data.....they all say that load is max at 75 to 76.3...so dang! Dumb question..... the Chrono was acting normal with other loads?

    Ruining A Good Load

    Boy...you got a stumped deal there! Quick load agrees with Nosler and thinks that load should be doing 3022 and 63 K pressure. Your load is acting a full 6% Milder. And if you have a 24 inch barrel and we use the node method you are smack dab in the middle of a node where it should be least...

    Anyone play with a 3030 contender?

    I'm finding the chamber on the 3030 contender is quite fussy about sizing. I was hoping I could figure a way to make it fun to plink with....and fast to reload. I think I'm coming to the conclusion that the best way is to drop the 3030 and go back to my 357 Barrel! No wonder my buddy gave me...

    Anyone play with a 3030 contender?

    Well...29.0 I 4198 under a 125 bt did 2015FPS today in my 10-inch contender...ql forecasts that around 40k. For some reason the 125 Sierra was just a hair faster. 30.6 re7 under the 125 bt was 1980fps. The 4198 under the 125 bt was really decently accurate at 25 yds w/ open sights. I also shot...

    Range day

    Fwiw.... I've seen a fair amount of difference from lot to lot of reloader 19.... my current lot is almost more a twin to reloader 22.

    Range day

    I find the problem with days like that is the enjoyment is only temporary because the next time you go out it's really hard to do it again.....lol! Great job and way to start the spring tinkering season!

    Ramshot Magnum

    Looking good....for some reason the 300 rum seems to be an accurate shooting cartridge. I have been pretty surprised at how good some of my buddies plain jane Remington's shoot too! Time to stretch that gun out to a little longer distance!

    Anyone using ramshot Hunter w/ great success?

    I just found a pound of this at my local gun shop and it's not the recalled lot. Sounds like it's great in 3006 and maybe good in 243, 7mmo8, 270, and 2506.....anyone got a magic Load? Seems like it's near re19 in useful apps.

    Anyone play with a 3030 contender?

    1shot....here's a good one.... I have a very old imr pamphlet which pretty much gives that load data of near 29 Grains with a 125 class bullet...ql seems to think its upper limit but OK. If you go to hodgdon.com right now they are saying 23.5 is Max w/a 130......wow....talk about old/new data!

    Anyone play with a 3030 contender?

    I think you might be spot-on with that idea as I was recently thumbing through a lyman manual. It said that 748 was THE powder for the contender3030 pistol in almost all bullet weights..... it got me to thinking that it shot really well in my 730 Waters too..... even though quick load seems to...
