Couldn't agree more. The first comment to OP should be reaching out to Winchester, doing a search on the lot number of primers he got and stop shooting that load until he figures out what is going on with Primers.

I wish I had a good spare that I could pitch in to support. Unfortunately, my scopes available are not at all what you are looking for. With Eurooptic and Grice in my backyard, I'm always watching what's in stock. I have noticed Euro has a handful of pretty good deals for their floor...

Nice shooting, I like the gun too! Do you mind sharing your load data? Which Berger's are you running and what powder/how much? I'm looking to try out long range and start dialing my skills in this space. Potentially hunting and taking game at a longer range as time and practice have passed...

This one is loaded haha. Because I like to collect old levers, and old Winchester's my count in multiple guns of the same caliber is off set. Those are more I get whatever cal the gun I find is already in and not really the caliber I want. For guns that I bought new and picked the caliber...

These post are taking me back to the days you never thought your dad would get old and your perspective on the world and the people in it was much different! First gun ever - Remington 22mag First high power - Savage .243, I don't recall the model. My Dad got it when we was 12 and handed it...

Ahh, got ya.

Did those slower rounds deviate more than your typical load? Amount of drop and response to the wind more specifically?

I'm late as well, but commenting more so I can follow and see what you end up with. Optics are so broad and there are so many great choices, you can really dive into the fine details to zero in what is best for you. Me, I tend to like Leupold and Swaro on my hunting guns, target guns are the...

Fantastic! Both look like fine animals as well. The write up was great, I felt like I was there ha!

What's the intent of this comment?

Great shooting!

I was 8 years old when I shot my first. Texas didn’t have a minimum age as long as you’re hunting with an adult. It was a spike about 100 yards away. Savage .243 with a redfield 3x9 and factory Remington corelokt ammo. I had just missed my first deer a few hours before, a doe at 80 yards. Dad...

Here is my final shot string, on my home made load development target haha. I use our old calendars from work to build targets for development haha. Like I said 5 shots, cold barrel shot was a little left (I don’t like this but don’t know how to fix it, it’s close enough for hunting though)

My reference is in a .284 at 175gr. I loaded these in my Tikka Tex 7mm Mag. During load development I started at .018 and went in .003 increments to .036. The area around .024 (.021, .024, .027) was very tight and it started opening back up at .030 and shifting right on me. I didn't try the...

Great shooting, looks like you have the right set up. Just curious, where did you come across the Fusion Tipped bullets for reloading? I'm trying to find those or the Terminal Ascents and have not had much luck.

The stock on that gun is a piece of art!

If it's shooting great, you're where you need to be. I wouldn't get too hung up on trying to make it faster if its accurate now. The only thing to keep in mind, your COAL technically has no correlation to your lands unless you know what the COAL is when touching the lands. OGIVE is what I...

That is an impressive bull! I'm sure he thought you had groceries haha

I'm glad you got it taken care of! We have all hung one or two up in our time haha

Thanks for the input! I own a handful of .223 but none are bolt action.
