@TexasLife sorry, I meant hunting big game (deer, hogs etc) with 10mm pistols, not the powder.

I'm sure some lighter weights would be wicked fast and a lot of fun on smaller game. Not sure how I feel about using them on deer unless it was a stout bullet. @Slimfinn those are some hot factory loads. Which brand? @TexasLife I was on the lookout for AA#9 but never ran across any. Anyone...

The higher load I had did 1299 fps average with the 180gr from the 5" barrel but was not a published load. What powder were you using? The load I showed the chronograph picture of is 9.0 grains of Longshot at 1268 fps average. That's just below Nosler book max but almost a grain higher than...

@salmonchaser I love Sigs and own several of the classic series in 9mm, 40, 10mm, 357 Sig & 45. One of my off duty carry guns is a P365 XL which has been fantastic. Too bad I can't carry one of them on duty. @TexasLife I think you'll love them! I have a P220 DA/SA Legion in 45 and it's a very...

Nice looking right and excellent cartridge. The 168gr ABLR should be awesome if it'll shoot. You have some amazing rigs!

I bought a Sig P220 10mm Hunter a couple years ago with the intention of shooting a deer with it. I've been handgun hunting for a while now but I've never used a semiauto. While it has excellent iron sights, I really wanted to put a red dot on it & EGW makes a nice adapter that takes the place...

That's super frustrating and luckily, I've only had that happen with one rifle. Incidentally, it was a Weatherby Vanguard but in 270 Win. It was a buddy's rifle he bought new and he bought cheap Federal Powershok 130gr ammo to break it in and get brass. It was consistently sub-moa...until we...

Any update?

Man that's a good looking combo and have to love the quarter bores. Great groups, let us know how she she performs on game. Nosler needs a bullet for fast twist 25's.

You can't go wrong with any of those choices. I really liked the 125gr Partition and 130gr Accubond in my 260 Rem Encore pistol (15" barrel), which was later rechambered to 6.5-270 JDJ. Those two bullets put a hurtin on deer & hogs. I've been using the ABLR's in a 6.5 PRC & 7mm PRC & they have...

I honestly have had pretty good luck with most major brands of brass. Pistol brass doesn't make near as much difference. In rifle, Hornady, Federal & Winchester used to be my go to's for the price. After trying some Nosler and then Lapua, I spend the extra for good rifle brass now for bolt guns...

I won't go through a big list, but all my center fire rifles were first used on whitetails from 257 Roberts through 45-70. The majority with Nosler bullets. A very memorable hunt was when I was 10. Using a beautiful Browning A-Bolt Micro Medallion in 7mm-08, the rifle's first animal and my first...

Great cartridge and tons of suitable powders. You already are using one of the best for the grand old warhorse. My dad loved IMR4350 with 150gr Ballistic Tips. Ive been partial to H4350 and 150gr Accubonds, Partitions or Interbonds and my buddy likes Staball 6.5 with 150gr Interbonds. Between...

It's nice to start seeing R26 become available but I can't stomach the price. Midway got a little in a couple weeks ago for about the same price.

I like the 240gr XTP but have only shot animals with it out of a revolver and was happy with it. However, if I had a 44 Mag rifle, the 270gr Speer Deepcurl would be hard to beat as an overall bullet. I loaded some for a buddy with a case full of H110 and they've been great for him on deer and...

What a beautiful rifle. Is there anything R26 can't do? Have you tried any other loads in it yet? Not that you need to with that load.

Mine is a 22" barrel, I think they offer longer in the magnum calibers.

I bought a 6.5x55 Tikka recently too! Went with the stainless hunter model. Woods decent but nothing like yours! I have a bunch of Lapua brass, dies & bullets just waiting to go. 140gr Partitions should be perfect in this rifle but I have a lot of others to try. Let us know how yours shoots!

You'll have to keep us updated on your progress. I thought these hybrid cases weren't reloadable?

A buddy gave me a couple bricks of lead that were used as ballast in an x-ray machine. They were pure lead and I just added some tin or cut them with wheel weights. Im about out of all of them though.
