I think that's right on.

No Remingtons.

I’ve read those things about the 280, too. On their face, they seem highly unlikely for exactly the reasons you cite. That said, there are MANY things the average handloader has no comprehension of, even when they’re completely certain that they _do_ know or understand. I have found that to be...

The BAR will hold any SAAMI spec. Old guns may work better or worse with different quickness powders, but that's nothing to do with max chamber pressure. Newer BARs have adjustable gas ports.

SAAMI proof pressures are listed in a table in the SAAMI standards, freely download-able by anyone on the planet who has an internet connection. They also explain the calculations by which proof pressures (there are minimum and maximum parameters for the proof pressures) are determined...

Actual pressure test equipment, in pressure barrels, were less common in the 'old days.' Many, many manuals used so-called pressure signs to determine what was maximum. Unfortunately, so-called pressure signs are incredibly unreliable, and even more inconsistent. Even today, some published...

Is Norma still manufacturing 100% of the Nosler-branded brass, or has Nosler brought some of the Silver State capacity online to make & label their own? I’ve thought before that Nosler brass is a little soft in the head, always remembering that it’s nearly always lower-capacity than the...

I've tried hearing protection while hunting before. I have a very nice electronic muff, but even with that I am uncomfortable with how it alters my hearing. Unlike many I've discussed this topic with, I _do_ hear the shot, and my ears ring for quite a while thereafter. I have a silencer...

Thanks, all. I'll try to find a Beretta.

I'm considering a shotgun. Like blued steel and walnut, and wouldn't object to a little engraving (though my wallet may! LOL). I need lowest felt recoil I can get, because my shoulder simply won't put up with much at all. I liked the look of the Franchi Fenice. They look nice, and were at least...

Wow. That chart looks positively ancient. Do you know how old it is?

Thanks, all, both for the input and the welcome. I'll have a look around at heavier Nosler ammo options. This gun shoots some 95 and 100-grain ammo pretty well, too, but that's not Nosler ammo so I left it out, since this is the Nosler Ammunition sub-forum. :-) The BLR is nice and light...

Listed speed is pretty high. My BLR doesn't shoot it that fast, but curious as to whether your experience has been that the bullet will hold together out of this ammo on an elk. This ammo shoots quite well from this rifle, and I don't handload for it. If the BLR goes with me, it'll be the...
