And yet sometimes I’ll restock out of fear of even higher price escalation…adding to the problem I guess. Thankfully our locally produced powders for rifle are still available though expensive compared to what they were pre COVID, are still cheaper than buying factory. I don’t think too many...

Who said anything about quitting shooting :D:D:D

We share similar hobbies Frank. Just coming out of our Summer pelagic season for Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Mackeral, Tuna and Marlin and into our winter species.

Cleavers who are usually very sharp on price. I don't suspect anyone else will be any different.

It seems like sometimes they can legislate gun control or achieve the same thing through market mechanisms...that would be the cynic in me though :unsure:;)

I know we talk a fair amount about component availability and prices, but I was literally astonished when the local gunshop advertised the availability of alliant powder, and then really pissed off at the price. I can buy a brand new rifle for that price. Absolute madness.

Reckon if you owned a 6.5-06 you probably not going to need a 270. Pretty handy cartridge at those velocities.

I load 45 in my 260 with that bullet. My son’s rifle for the Swede is a tikka so should handle the pressures just fine. Thanks for the reminder though.

Gee Mike that is a lot quicker than the 4831 (2213) my son is running now. Might have to have a look at that and see how it shoots. The 2213 has him just over 2,700fps and it feels like it should be doing more. It has however very accurate with that powder. Thanks for the QL 👍

There is a whole other coolness factor to the 300H&H. An absolute classic in every respect.

Just wondering if anyone is using H4350 with 129sst bullets or the like? Any thoughts on what QL would look like running modern pressures in a modern rifle would look like. 22 inch barrel.

Reckon a couple of major conflicts probably not helping the supply either. Staggering the amount of artillery and other cartridges they’re chewing through

I had a Remington CDL limited edition in 280rem that I could not get to shoot for the life of me, no matter what projectile or powder or primer. A borescope showed some irregularities after I had changed , triggers, scopes, mounts etc. A new barrel and it will shoot 0.5moa if I have a good day...

I would think H4831sc is closer to RL22 which is probably better if the bullets are at the heavier end of the spectrum. H4350 is closer to RL17 and more likely better suited to those 130’s. Perhaps also more likely to get a complete burn in the shorter barrel. Also very temp stable if you need that.

Plus necking up from .257 to .264 is the smallest movement of the brass in any direction.

Just thought I would post a couple of pics of Hornady bullets I have recovered this past few hunts. Thought you guys might be interested. The 139SST was recovered from the fallow buck below. It was a really thick and strong animal. The shot was taken from a 7mm08 at about 90 yards in the scrub...

I have used all three but not in the ackley form. Honestly I can’t tell the difference on game. If you put the bullet where it is supposed to go the animals fall over. I think the biggest difference in those three cartridges will be determined by the bullet you run. If I was going to ackley any...

Inspiring me to do a clean up in my space. Good job.

I know nickel is easier to find in the bush compared to standard brass.

I was gonna be a smartass and say you now have a 7mm08…but damn, that is super impressive. I would not have guessed that in a million years.
