My experience with factory ammo is limited to primarily that purchased by my department. The budget was in the neighborhood of a million rounds a year to cover duty, practice and specialty assignment and academy training. I would guess less than 1/4 of that number was rifle ammo. (223/556 and...

Well done Fotis and Evelyn!

Dad got stationed at Ft. Wainwright when it was still Ladd Air Force Base. Mom and the first three of us arrived in sept. We had flown from Chicago to Seattle got on a bus to Ft. Lewis and then took a military transport to Alaska. When we left Chicago it was about 90 degrees and 90 percent...

Ok, that makes sense but I gave Dr Mike bad intel ran the data with a 24 instead of a 26 inch barrel and I am running about 2 grains less powder for the same velocity as tested. If my load at 67.5 gr. Gave me 2975 and a B time of of 1.17 is the difference from 1.17 and 1.19 significant for these...

Need a little help understanding my results. Accuracy is good at several loadings but attained velocity is quite a bit higher. 69gr. N560/180ttsx/3080 fps/new brass/ my rifle has a 26 inch bbl/coal3.586 69.2 N560/180nab/new brass/3.589coal/3012fps 72.1n560/180nab/3.586/gave 3145fps and sticky...

I’ll get them off to you today or tomorrow. I just counted the Nosler brass, there are only 20 not 25. I didn’t recall pulling 5 cases out. Must have needed to top off my 338 Jarrett.

I am divesting myself of a few guns, thought I might go ahead and give my buddies a chance at the scopes. Any way looking for $800.00 a piece U.S. One of the scopes has a duplex cross hair the other a wind plex.

I have a box, (25)Nosler 8mm Remington brass new and shinny. Also have 28 New Remington cases, a few have some tarnish on them from hanging around so long. Send me 10 bucks for shipping and they are yours.

I can remember hunting them with my Dad in the early sixties, it was like going shopping. But then the road only went to Circle. Hope you have a good winter.

Off to a good start

Damn, no Caribou this year?

One of my brothers, the youngest forgot his 06 ammo one year elk hunting. Used some of mine that was just a little bit longer than the load we had for his rifle. The bullet was jammed into the lands tight enough that he pulled a bullet out of the case. Thank full we always have a cleaning rod in...

My 338 Jarrett gets 2950 /250 accubonds using 7828/Rl26/ drops to near 2900 with H1000. The Jarrett has a couple grains more powder capacity than a 340 WB.

Love the Bob, yours is well dialed in.

I just use a light spray of REM Oil. They typically don’t seem to need much but some of the case lubricants are water based. I also had some I would take to Alaska with me and they did get a little flash rust. But this time of year I’m pretty well done shooting and getting to hunting so as I...

The 270 had a well deserved reputation with 130s long before your Grandfathers rifle was built. I just did my bullet inventory and have 1500 ballistic tips in five calibers on hand. Love the bullet but I’m odd man out and limit their use to game up to mule deer, as originally designed. I do...

Love hunting and eating antelope, well done Fotis.

I agree with tightening, shortening them up a little. I can’t guess how many times I’ve experienced two together and one out over the years. Sometimes just a little will bring them all together. If I were a betting man I would bet that I have shot many of those same groups with Partitions. I...

I would guess you got a bad finish on those. I’ve Leupold mounts going back 50 years or more as well as newer ones that have never needed direct attention. Wipe the gun down the mounts sorta get wiped down also. I can think of a couple of guns that went from Oregon to Washington to Alaska and...

Good luck with your load development and finding a cooperative deer. I like Sigs, carried one on duty for a while and still own a 40 caliber. Your velocity looks pretty good.
