Fireforming and the cost of 338 bullets. About it. I haven't found brass grows much. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I use both the 338 Federal and 338-06 and love them both. I prefer speed with premium bullets, using a 180gr Accubond in the Federal and currently testing the 200gr NBT in the 06. I have loads with the 225 Accubond in the 338-06 but after weighing a jacket I found from the 200 BTs I like...

What will you be hunting with the rifle? Weight goal? Distances you plan on hunting? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Tagging in, I really am interested in the 33. Please keep us updated! I have hundreds of 225 AB's that would shine in this case. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I found my 7mm RM liked the Scirocco .100" from the lands. Tightened up under .5 moa with H4831. I'm a fan of RL23, going to work up the new Trophy Bonded Tip with it. Very low ES in my testing. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I don't have the velocity but in my Vanguard Sub-MOA I shoot 71.5 gr Retumbo with the 120gr Speer. It shoots very well, I'll chrono it after some of this snow melts. Dunno why I don't have that data. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Hey there, So many years ago, I purchased a reloading lot of items on eBay and it came with a Redding powder measure. I got the entire lot for less then a new powder measure and used it to drop what seemed like a ton of powder. Fast forward many years, it wasn't even mounted on my bench...

Like these awesome flash holes? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I might have dies without stems if you need any. If I recall correctly they are RCBS. Not sure what all is missing, bought them years ago for next to nothing, but I do know exactly where they are. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

They will, since the lead isn't bonded to the jacket. Just assuming they use the same jacket, just don't spend the time/money to bond the jacket to the core. All assumptions, so they very well could use a totally different jacket, I just wouldn't bet on that being the case. Sent from my XT1650...

That was my thought exactly. 100 grain jacket is perfect. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I got the NBTs from SPS, they just seem to be ones they hadn't been sent for Lubalox yet. I have a supply of 180, 200 and 225 Accubonds also, but I wanted something that will shed some weight for deer. If I ever get out west to hunt elk I will probably go Accubond over NBT but you never know...

I was definitely surprised by the 50% weight in the jacket. Add in that these are essentially one holers and I should be good to take down anything in front of me. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Went shooting today to finalize my load in my 338-06. H380 powder for 2778, four shot SD of 2.2, exceptional accuracy. It was about 45 at best, by far one of the warmer days we've had so I figured it's close to hunting season temps, figured I'd give it a go. Berm was frozen, found this sitting...

I was actually talking to the wife about it this morning. The newest rifle shooter has an article on the 6.5 PRC. She's given me the okay to get a suppressor this year though so that's first and foremost. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I've been keeping an eye on the PRC, just want to make sure it stays around. And I've looked hard at the WSM. I think PRC has an advantage just with lower priced brass. I might just have to order 50 pieces and a box of the 150s, seat a few and do it up in a Savage long action throated a bit...

So I picked up a 1 in 7" twist 6.5 barrel blank from X-Caliber, wondering what I should do with it. I have over 18 pounds of H1000 and no H4350, so I was hoping to stay in that wheel house. I'm leaning towards one of the 6.5 SAUM type rounds, probably would do prefit. I'm just trying to plan...

I actually just took this out yesterday in the low 40s. It was windy and had to walk there so no chrono. I only fired one three shot group of Hornady Interlock and Speer Hot Cor, everything else the same. I think with the Speer it will work and work well. It never gets old though, the Interlock...

I use HBN for my wife's 6mm BR. I barely ever clean the rifle, she shoots 3" groups at 450 yards, and I never really did load development. Went with a standard 6mm BR load that's not hard on the brass, and it shoots .3's consistently. It takes a bit of getting used to with coating the bullets...

Hey there. Just saw that Shooters Pro has 200gr ballistic tips, so I ordered a bunch. Trying to figure out what I should use. Any suggestions? RL17/15? CFE 223? IMR 4064? Any I haven't listed? I got respectable velocity and a flat spot with CFE and the 225 Deep Curl, going to start seating...
