I don't think the pressure difference will be enough to say one way or another to be totally honest. I think I understand the question, but to clarify, what are you turning your necks to for thickness? What is the application for the rifle? I turn a lot of my necks, but not for tight necked...

I always think the grey tips are Ballistic Tips destined for Lubalox coating that never gets coating. Either they run a bigger batch then needed or they are just never sent out as they get the machines dialed in. Could be wrong, but most silver tips I have received have a corresponding CT...

Try AR Comp with a 69gr TMK. I had very good luck with a 1-8" Ruger American around 31-31.5gr

I'd take a good look at H4831, not the SC version. I use it on my 7mm Rem Mag and 150gr Sciroccos. It fills the case very well and dodges big temp changes just as well. I'm pushing them at 3100 fps with a 26" tube, I'm sure you could back it off a hair and hit your target goal easily. I'd start...

Do you know the twist rate? Factory rifle? If so, which one? Purpose for the rifle? I will always have a 7mm RM in my hunting rotation and have tried many different combos for hunting. I have more confidence in the rifle then i do myself.

I run three 200gr HotCor with 51.5gr of 2000MR in my 338 Fed. I'm not sure you'd get much more in the case then that. Very accurate load, probably going to take it out opening day Saturday to see if I can't bowl over a WT. I'm right around Alliant's velocity claim. Edit: So I went out this...

I would try both at 300 yards to see which preformed better. Let the targets finalize your load. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I know this is a few weeks old but don't forget with a savage 223 they install a different bolt baffle to act as a stop so you have a shorter throw. Going to anything over about 2.350" OAL will mean getting a new bolt baffle without the stop. There is no difference between long and short action...

I shoot a Ruger M77 338 federal with hand loads only. I've taken my biggest whitetail to date with it and the 180gr Accubond at about 2725fps. I took a quartering towards shot, snuck it behind the front shoulder and got the bullet back under the hide in front of the rear ham. Barely any meat...

Very nice! I've been wanting to do a short action 270 to push the 115gr Gold Dot hard to see what it does. Even necked up a 6.5 Creed to see what it looks like. This has me thinking I really should pursue it a bit more! Great shooting with an even better looking rifle. Sent from my SM-G960U...

I shoot the 75gr ELD-M in mine, and using RL23 I'm shooting a very consistent 3370 fps and single digit SDs. Its a great little round. I tried some 80s but liked the higher velocities of the 75s. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

So I ran the 180s through my Mag Speed today. Tight chambers produce crazy velocities. 4 shots, average of 2891fps, es 11, SD 4.3. Lines up with my testing of RL22 and 180gr Partitions. I stopped at 60gr with a velocity of 2899, two grains under max per Nosler. Pulled the rest of my rounds...

What zone did you happen to get? I've been putting in for 20 years, minus a few combat deployments and have never gotten pulled for one. I would look at the Accubond myself. Aim for around 3000 fps and find your accuracy. Which zone you are in will determine your shot distance for the most...

So the Vortex is a non illuminated version, which is the 2.5x10. The Leupold is 3x9 which has the firedot. I checked the Weaver out, looks like a solid scope for sure. I like a bit more with a reticle than a duplex if I expect shots over 200 yards. All of my woods guns use 2x7 Leupold VX2 with...

I'm looking at putting a hunting scope on my 30-06. Will be medium range, looking at keeping the weight down. I've pretty much narrowed it down between a Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44 with BDC reticle and a Leupold VX-R 3-9x40 with ballistic firedot reticle. Both are relatively the same price...

I have tested other bullets that veer off a straight path often, so that was nice to see it penetrate deep and straight. It shot well enough that for a dollar a round I did order another 6 boxes from Beretta. I'm going to shoot it again into jugs but with some form of barrier in front of the...

Ordered some Sako Super Hammerhead in 30-06 to test out and see if it would work for elk and moose. I've only shot half a box so far and am still evaluating everything, but it seems to be decent ammo. I mainly reload, but in the last year or so I've learned that some times it's not bad to have...

I just spent an hour tonight with the FA unit taking the crimp out of some Wolf brass and squaring the pockets. I can only do so many of those small cases before my hands can't take it anymore. I have a dillon swedge unit but I like to feel the case for my bolt action rifles. Couldn't imagine...

Going to pick up my new 30-06 tomorrow. Told the wife I'd found my dream rifle and will stop buying them for a long time if she would agree to it. Gave me the go ahead, she's too good to me. Going to pick up my Christensen Arms Classic in the morning. I ordered some Sako Hammerhead ammo from...

Very nice. I did initial velocity readings with H1000 and the 160gr Federal Trophy Bonded tip, five shots in half grain increments. 67.0 - 2963 67.5 - 3035 68.0 - 2993 68.5 - 3021 69.0 - 3087 No pressure signs so I may flirt around 69gr to see how it groups, this was just a quick prelim...
