Took it out today with three test groups. 53.8 shot 3085, 3066 and 3100. SD 17, ES 34 Next one gets more interesting 54.1. Shot 3099,3100 and 3105, SD 2, ES 5 Next one right there 54.4 shot 3115, 3121, 3119. SD 3 and ES6 I don’t think I’ve ever had loads in the single digits for SD and ES...

Bought two pounds of RL17 today at Joe Gunn Sanford MI. He has a smattering of powders. rl7,10,15, 19,22,23,25. Took the last two 17’s, and didn’t see any 26.

Thanks Dan.

No signs of pressure at 59 grains… will push it a little harder.. I would like to get it up to speed. Case volume was pretty tight..so not sure I can get far.. but will work up in 0.3gns..

I have some 6.5 and was thinking about it. Have some partitions and grand slams at 140gn.

Reloader 17 looks pretty happy…

I think you are right. Most the test barrels are 24” and this one is 22”. So figure I lost 50 for there..

Well, tried a new jug of H4831sc, and basically got the same velocity. The old jug of powder is fine. Using the Barnes TTSX 130 and RL17, I’m getting 210fps more than I’m getting from H4831. Interestingly, comparing manuals. Hornady Recipes vs Sierra Recipes…Sierra stops at 58.6, but...

Wishing you well Vince! New Mexico sounds awesome!

Pretty solid. Been reading about guys using 410’s and TSS #9 to take turkeys… I’ve taken 1 Tom at 25 yards with a 20 gauge beneli super sport(I’m not a nice man). Flattened that Tom. No floppy, just bang flopped.. so with the TSS product.. I can see it being pretty potent medicine.

So I have a well used bullet puller, maybe excessively worn puller (flood ammo that went click- silence, I’d pull the bullet and salvage the cases… Well. The cartridge holders would not hold the bullets…so very frustrating and slow. Today, I used my shell holder from My press, voila! That...

Thanks Jim! Was wondering about that!. I know Dr Mike has had tremendous success with etips in his WSM’s and I was considering avoiding lead in my game loads.. just to avoid some risk of lead ingestion.

I’ll toss the X bullets. I can see evidence of copper fouling… more than my other riffles… Set up a ladder test with H4831 and Sierra Game King. Just because I have so many that came with the gun. Liking the Redding I plan to hunt with the TTSX and NAB. I’m completely confident in the...

They got 10 years each. I forgot they fled when the initial charges were filed. They were found in downtown Detroit hiding in an art studio a friend owned. Had passports and cash.. Their son got life. Michigan school shooter's parents sentenced to at least 10 years in prison...
