Bergara has a 24" barrel and the load was .5grs more than the one used in the 26" barreled Sako

I shot a few deer with the 150gr Ballistic Tip out of my 308 Win,MV 2900fps.I though they were tough and deer usually didn't bleed that much either.The 165gr and 168gr were a much different story.Everything died right there, lots blood everywhere.

So that's what they look like after they expand.Those Interbonds are really tough bullets.I think they are tougher and retain more weight than the Accubond.I killed a bunch of deer,an elk and a nilgai with them and never recovered a single one.I used the 139gr in my 7mag and 7STW.I still have a...

I was looking for a CUP to PSI calculator and I ran across this site.Much of the time when looking at load data,it shows CUP pressures and not PSI.This site has conversions for that and much more.I thought I'd share it with the group. https://calculator.academy/cup-to-psi-calculator/

$45.99 a 100 right now.Really hard to beat that price. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1025228479?pid=360995

I used to see a noticeable difference between how the early Accubonds and Ballistic Tips grouped.I know Nosler made internal jacket changes to Ballistic Tips some time after the introduction of the Accubond.From what I can tell and it would make sense in a manufacturing aspect that the...

I have two pounds of Reloader 26 and 16.The price Reloader powders have gone up to these days,it may be the last Reloader powder I may ever buy.That's OK,Reloader powder isn't the only powder on the planet.I've always worked up loads with several powders that work well instead of being stuck on...

I got an email today from Nosler listIng Nosler factory seconds.As short supply as bullets have been on SPS and from Nosler,kinda makes me wonder if Nosler might be taking over a good part of the sale of the seconds...

Sounds like it's going to be a good powder.I think all the new versions of Ramshot powders are being made here in the USA by St Marks powder company in Florida.They used to be made in Belgium and said so on the labels.The labels are different now and does not have any country of origin on it.St...

The 30-06 isn't too old,it was just born before it's time.With modern rifles, powders,bullets,it's better than it ever was.I often wonder if it was introduced today as a new cartridge,no telling what it's popularity would be.Once I started loading for it,I grew a great appreciation for just how...

I recently bought a couple of 8lb jugs of pulled down powder from American Reloading.I got one jug of MP655(Winchester 780 Supreme) $209.00 free shipping and hazmat.I'll use this to save some of my dwindling supply of Winchester WXR.I also picked up an 8lb jug of MP625(Hunter) for $178.00 free...

You might find some errors in American Reloading's comments below the product they list.These 220gr bullets say great for 30-30.Probably should have been 30-06 instead.When was the last time you heard of 220gr 30-30's?30-06,but not 30-30 right?I saw about the same thing on their comments.Saw...

I think the earlier SST's were a lot like the earlier Ballistic Tips and both were quite explosive in some calibers and bullet weights.Now the jackets on both bullets are thicker and stay together a lot better.Congrats on your kills.

I'd like to think that way,but the reality is, foreign companies are taking control of the ammunition market.Endless wars and long term US government and NATO contracts are making it very hard on the public consumer of those products...

I went to my local Academy store this morning and after I did my shopping I went to the gun section to check out their limited reloading supplies.Not much there other than a selection of Hornady bullets.Glanced behind the gun counter and low and behold there was five different powders on...

You know,if a person was just getting interested in hunting,reloading and just shooting,can they afford it.I'm starting to feel like we are the last of a dying breed.Everytime I turn around the prices keep going up and up and up.I wouldn't say I hoarded stuff,but I've accumulated a good supply...

Other things that could give you problems,if the barrel was cut off,could be a crown issue.Another thing could be the stock.I assume the stock was removed.If so make sure the action is not binding,bolts properly torqued,poor bedding,barrel touching the barrel channel of the stock,just to name a...
