Merry Christmas wishes to all of you. I would also like to wish you a very Happy New Year to come, and may all of your reloading/hunting/shooting dreams come true. Cheers.
That is a very nice moose indeed. The ABLR's do look very deadly as well. I am totally with you Guy on the dad call want to go question. My 75 yr old dad call me last Feb 2014 and asked me if I wanted to go with him for a 3 day salmon/halibut fishing trip on the BC West Coast this past July...
Well a few years back I sent 97 New Winchester cases that I had bought and only reloaded once back to Winchester. Of course they were unable to ship the brass to me, but sent coupons that I was able to with your help of course get new replacement brass. After much research it appeared that...
Thank you all for the suggestions. I am looking forward to loading up some to see what the coyotes will think of them. I will update later hopefully on the outcome.
I am running 55.0grs of H4350 and 180gr NP's in an older Win Mod 70 30-06 and have around a 1" group with 5 shots. I am also getting 2618fps velocity with that load. I ran up higher, but had pressure signs before the groups would start tightening up again. I have also used IMR4350 with...
I am looking and some extra 150gr NP that I have and thought they might just would great as a coyote pill. I am hoping to get in some winter predator control for our ever dwindling ungulate populations. Anyone have some load info for the 150gr NP and either of these powders - IMR4895, IMR4350...
Wow, that is bang on what the good old Partitions should look like. Very impressive hold together even thru that amount of bone. Can't wait to hear the final weight.
I sure wish that I knew what the velocity is for this load. That is one piece of equipment that I have not been able to add to my cuboard of goodies. I will be checking is as soon as I am able to.
Thanks guys. It sure has been a long and very educational experience. I am hoping to get out before Whitetail season ends here at least once more. Yes, Osprey78 we will get to the range again soon before there is 3-4 feet of snow so I can show you how to shoot. Lol.
Well as most of you have seen my powder struggles over the last 2 years with my .308 BLR, and I believe that chapter has ended. I was put onto trying IMR8208XBR powder, and to my surprise the old BLR seems to really like it. I am shooting 165gr NP's with 41.8grs of IMR8208XBR powder and...
I have used IMR4350 for over 30 years in my 30-06 with no issues. I have just switched over about 1 1/2 years ago to H4350 only to play with it and it was available to me. I have loaded the exact loads with both 4350's at 55.5gr and 180gr NP and could not find any real difference on target for...
As soon as I can I will post a pic of the last range day 6 shots prone no rests. I am very impressed and so glad to find a great recipe for the old BLR.
I have found that I am getting 1" - 6 shot groups at 100yds with 41.8grs IMR8208XBR with 165gr Nosler Parts in my old .308 BLR. After 2.5yrs of many powder load trials I have finally found this old girls sweet load. I see some very great looking targets in this thread. Great shooting guys.
