One of the things I noticed about the Whelen during load development is that as the powder charge was increased, velocity gains were very modest. That made it easier to resist the temptation to try wringing "just a little more" out of it and just focus on accuracy. I found 225 ABs and Re15 to be...

Oops. Missed the barrel length comment.

I'd guess you're at 62k.

I'm using Re26 in a couple of cartridges and it has never given me any kind of grief. I do tend to go with the milder charge given two different accuracy nodes. Just found a good one for my 6mm Remington...a 95 Partition at about 3100. My .280 likes the 3000 fps charge with a 150 Partition.

Oops.

IMO, Re17 is too slow a burner for the Whelen. Varget or Re15 are much more suitable...i never tried anything else in mine, so I think CFE233 might be worth a try. I have tried Re17 in other cartridges though. Sometimes it's the velocity champ, but top loads can get squirrelly when fired in...

My money's on a broken scope too. Or maybe loose mounts. Always hedge!

There is a youtube video where a guy shoots several shots over a Oehler and a Shooting Chrony set up in series. The averages between the two instruments were very similar, but there were discrepancies of 50 fps and more between the two chronos on individual shots. That got me to thinking, and I...

I betcha it comes in right at about 0.025 inch.

In case you kinda take it for granted, you have a great place to shoot there, Guy!

I'd probably go for one of those if it could be had in 10mm.

How about a 115-grain Accubond in 6.5 caliber?

Unless you're crimping, it won't matter much at all.

That Co-Ax is hard to beat for loading nice straight ammo. There ARE a few accessories it doesn't mesh well with, though.

The .25s and .27s take an undeserved rap these days based on the lack of high-BC bullets in those calibers. They kill at "moderate" ranges with no less authority than any other caliber bullet of similar sectional density. If you need to shoot deer at 600 or 800 yards, use a high-BC .30-cal or...

I've found that concentration on trigger technique is my weakness at the bench.

Word on the street is that LT-30 is magic with 40-grain bullets. I KNOW LT-32 is with 50s.

I'm a little late to the party, but this looks to me like just rechambering to .30-06 AI would be the most economical of effective solutions.
