Would someone please run a QL entry for me? I'm looking for estimated fps for my sons .270 win. It has a 20" barrel. Shooting H 4831 and 130 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips. My buddies chronograph is out of service and I am hoping QL will get us in the ball park.
Thank you.
Congratulations on a freezer full of my favorite mea! Any elk is a trophy! I am pleased to hear how well the BT performed. I think they are a fantastic and under rated hunting bullet.
Thanks again guys.
And yes Guy, this will be a mostly volume type load/gun. That's why I was leaning towards shooters pro shop, but I did not even think about fmj's. good call. I will get some of those too!
Sorry, yes, 5.56/.223 and it is a 16" 1 in 9 factory barrel.
Thanks for the recommendations. I will look into the 69gr. Custom competition bullets. I currently have a bunch of varget so maybe I will start there. I typically use CCI or Win primers. Might as well get the small base full...
My son just bought an AR. We are interested in your thoughts on what is the preferred bullet weight and maybe a few powders to try. We would like to use shooters pro shop to cut costs so nosler bullets preferred.
I already have plans to load the 64 gr. BSB but also looking for bullet to shoot...
Congratulations and welcome to hunting the west where if you don't like the weather you can always wait 15 minutes as its likely to change! And wind, I have never experienced wind like in Wyoming!
As Dr. Mike said, you will never forget this trip! Its the trip you realize you CAN do it...
Yeah its rocking, I did not realize it was that high. I will pull that pic so its not shown. I worked up to it and actually don't use that load currently. We are loaded up with the 120 gr. NBT and the 139 gr. IB.
I appreciate the heads up and will reevaluate that load.
My Wife shoots a Savage 7mm-08. Here are three loads that have worked very well for us on paper. The 120 gr. NBT load shoots 1/2" at 100. That is our deer load of choice. Hoping to get her out hunting next year for deer.
Good luck with your new rifle!
