First, I think you’ll love quail hunting. It’s exciting, they fly like little rockets, and are an exquisite meal. They can be addictive. That said, I’d use the 12. They can be hard to hit and the 12 gauge gives better chances of scoring with a lower chance of wounding birds without recovering...

I like Alliant powders, but really no more than others. That said, Alliant is making all our minds up for us to move away from them. Price aside availability is essentially gone. Luckily I have enough RL powders left to burn the throat out of the respective rifles I load them in. There are only...

This. A small round rat tail file resolves it in a few seconds.

Your friend will be well served with just about any reduced load you come up with for the ‘06. A magnum isn’t required at all. I’d recommend focusing on marksmanship that’s repeatable every time from shooter. It doesn’t come up often but I’ll admit to it. Buck fever is a very real thing...

On the 8th day God made IMR4831. Just look at my powder locker.

Sound approach. Thanks for the response.

Where did your ladders begin and end? That’s not a bad initial neiborhood to be in with 150’s. The IMR4831 looks like it’s going to be promising. Good work.

I found that as well. In my 270 Win the charge weights mirror IMR4831. Works great. Velocity and accuracy are there, but it takes a little more of it than Hodgdon says. It may work with heavy billets in the 308. I also agree that Match would probably serve you better.

I’ve bought 4 of them. 2 for Remington 783’s, and 2 for TC bolt rifles. All I had to do was touch up the barrel Chanel’s on 2 of them. I did have to extensively inlet one of thee 783’s. That was due to me adding PT&G bottom metal for AICS magazines, not any short fall of Boyd’s. They look great...

Sounds as good as anything else suggested.

Looks like a home made Muzzy. Lol tape a chisel to it and go bow hunting :p

They have pretty good deals sometimes. I forget the total but it wasn’t much. I got 1000 M855 bullets for my ARs a few months ago.

I didn’t mean to seem confrontational. If I did I’m sorry. It wasn’t my intention.

I made the one I use for 450 Bushmaster. I couldn’t find one so I made one. Then about a week later they were everywhere. Lol

I would never suggest anyone disregard safety. I don’t want to see anyone injured. A BTO measurement gives a more precise point of reference for a given load. OAL specs in a reloading manual can get someone in trouble if taken as an absolute. Some sort of BTO measurement is needed. As an...

The ogive is located at different locations on different bullets even though they may be the same weight. Different design bullets, even from the same manufacturer will have different base to ogive lengths. That’s why I think the Hornady comparator is almost a necessity.

Couldn’t find a modified 270 WSM case for the Hornady Comparator so I made one. Tapped a 5/16x36 hole in the base and drilled the neck with a 7.1mm bit. Viola! Instant OAL gauge.

I’ve used RL7, either 4198, and H4895. I like the 4198’s more than RL7. Edit: IMR 4895 would probably work as well as H4895. For cast 308 Win loads you can use IMR4831 with 200+ grain bullets. Seat them touching the lands to help get a complete burn.

Ernie, it truly amazes me what you can do with recoil reduction and long range accuracy. Outstanding! Thanks for the video. I have to say my first choice would be the 35 Whelen. I’ve never owned one but when it comes to doing everything I think it would be hard to beat. As far as my favorite...
