Well that helps restock the freezer. Such a handy rifle in a handy cartridge. My son shoots the same rig and it has been outstanding in every way.

is that H4350?

What a legacy. Condolences to the Nosler family

Looks like some gas leakage around that primer as well

Surprisingly not. It was on a tikka rifle, had only fired a handful of shots. I was expecting a catastrophic failure. Ammunition was Remington core locks so maybe a softer projectile prevented everything from coming apart. I know the gunsmith the rifle went to to be checked over and everything...

Or if someone accidentally chambers it in the wrong rifle, dumb things do happen. Someone recently fired a 308 in a 270 at our local range recently.

Now that sir is a very good year

That is a great freezer filler. You would almost think that bullet was designed for the old 8x57. You can't ask for more than that. Congrats

Well done and great work on a successful hunt. Nice way to christen a new rifle.

A 300Rum with a fast twist is about as good as it gets. Not too much that wouldn’t get done anywhere in the world. Hope you have a great hunt.

Welcome to one of the nicer forums out there. I had a similar problem with a 30/30 when I put a new scope on. Hadn’t played with it for a bit and went to sight it back in. It started keyholing and I couldn’t work out what was wrong. Turned out I was ricocheting the bullet into the target. That...

I suspect when I look back, half the fun of playing with different cartridges was because I had kids who liked to hunt as well. I always thought it was important they had their own rifles as there is an enormous amount of responsibility that comes with that. Also a sense of pride too. As they...

It will make no difference in the field at the distances I am shooting at. Thank you.

Thank you everyone for your replies and Dr Mike for the QL data. I kind of feel late to the party with this century plus year old cartridge. Modern rifles, powders and bullets certainly add some spice to the old girl. Guy I did watch that Ultimate Reloader episode, I enjoyed it a lot. Gavin is...

Gorgeous. That's a generational rifle for sure. Kids and grandkids and a very useable cartridge.

I have used the 150NBT's extensively in the 7mmRM using 64 grains of RL22. It is a great deer bullet and was very easy to get to shoot well. I never caught one, they always exited on red deer and smaller game. If that was the only bullet I had available to me for that cartridge, I would be a...

Hi Guys, Just a quick one. I have just recently purchased my first 30-06 and took it to the range today. I was just breaking it in and it is showing enormous promise. I loaded 55 grains of H4350 behind some left over Hornady 178 ELDM's. 9 shots chronographed at an average of 2,722fps with an...

My son’s Swede in a timber stocked tikka shoots lights out as well. Hopefully we get RL16 back in the gun shops again at a reasonable price, I have a number of cartridges I would like to try it in, the Swede now being added to the list.

Like Bikram, I really enjoy playing with a lot of different cartridges simply out of curiosity. I always thought I could get away with just five rifles and at some point in time I might. I realised my biggest error is having invested in shells, bullets etc for said rifles that it makes it...

Outstanding. I have been listening to podcasts about shooting Black Death recently, seems like an incredible adventure. Great pics too 👍👍👍
