I look forward to the day I can put iron sights on a rifle, and have those same iron sights deliver a 6x, bright, clear view that also provides a compensation for different ranges. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And I loaded up some for the 25-06 and 110 ELDX 0.03 off the lands. I loaded between 52.6 to 54.6 in 0.2 gr increments to check and see if there's a consistent velocity node in there. The Alliant loading data doesn't list the 110, but it lists a max for a 100 BT at 56.5 and a max at 51.5...

I was really surprised at the case fill for the 30-06. I wanted to try the 200 Hornady ELD-X in the wood stock 30-06. Here's a picture of the bullet at the lands. I held another bullet next to the case for comparison. Here's 63 grains of RL26 in the case. It is pretty dense; it comes to...

That’s a kick $&@ rifle! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now for some love for the 25-06, 30-06, and 7 Mashburn Magnum.

Have you mic’d both bullets? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In my opinion one of the downsides of the Lee CD, of which I have at least three (for four cartridges for which I load), is the brass needs annealed regularly for successful results. I think highly enough of the Lee CD I have had Lee make me custom Dies for wildcats. Without being there...

How many times has the brass been loaded/fired using the Lee CD? I find the Lee needs brass annealed every three or four firings for good neck tension. Not saying this is your cause, I’ve not played with ABLRs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I couldn’t find any local to me, and the three places that sell powder in town said they wouldn’t order it for me. One of the dumbest things I’ve heard. I understand hazmat fees, but if you are out of some popular powders I would think you would want to order those for the sales. So I ordered...

Started load development for the 25-06 and 110 ELD-X today. I have previous really good results with 54 grains H4831 and the 110 Accubond...so of course I started with Retumbo. 10 shot velocity node development: 57.2 3225 57.4 3232 57.6 3203 57.8 3236 58.0 3240 58.2...

I made it back to the range today, a beautiful, rare not windy March day in Cheyenne! I had previously completed the 10 round load development work with H4350 (see above) and 56.6 gr H4350 looked about in the middle of a node. Should be about 2815 fps. Two weeks ago I loaded up some 180 ABs...

+1 for Berger’s method. Works for many bullets, not just VLDs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those look really good Scotty! Especially that 3.535.

I'm starting to think, not really 10-shot load development. But to find a velocity node, it only took 5 shots today. H4350 Nosler cases CCI 200 primers 180 Accubond 0.075 inches off lands Charge Velocity 56.2 2829 56.4 2818 56.6 2815 56.8 2813 57.0...

And looking at Scotty’s picture, the accuracy is definitely there! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Scotty! How is the case fill with R16? The 180 AB is seated definitely into the shoulder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yesterday a trip to the range with Hunter and 180 PTs resulted in so-so accuracy at 200 yards, a 2.5 inch 5-shot group. I went back again today and a similar test resulted in a 4-inch group. But I have plenty of H4350 and 180 Accubonds too—I have to switch to some other powder with Accubonds...

83.6-84 looks pretty flat! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think he means it looks like you are going to run out of case capacity before you get near 62 grains. I've never seen RL powder before, so possible that it's denser (weighs more per material amount) and so more grains will fit in a 30-06 case. Donno. At 62 grains you are above 117% fill.
