For several years I made the 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip and H4350 my standard load for the 30-06 cartridge. One memorable season I used it on: Black bear at about 325 yards, one shot kill, recovered the jacket from the off-side hide after a raking shot through the vitals. Mule deer buck at...

It's been great watching more and more load data appear online, for free. I still have several print manuals. Also often buy the Hodgdon manual, almost every year, because there are some great articles in it. Guy

Might work out well. I've used it with good results in the 6mm Remington. Here's some Nosler 243 info:

Once ya cut a couple of inches off the barrel, it takes a lot of JB Weld to get it back on properly! :unsure:

The simple approach appeals to me. One rifle, one load, use it for pretty much everything! Love it. JY Jones took almost everything in North America with the 165 gr Nosler Partition and his trusty Remington 700 30-06, then bumped up to the 200 gr Partition for a couple of the bigger species...

I dunno - but I see some decent looking 357 mag loads on Hodgdon's online data center using IMR 4227. I wouldn't assume IMR 4227 is the same as H 4227, but a phone call to Hodgdon can likely clear that up quickly. Guy

I'll be interested in your progress & reports with this. I haven't ever loaded the 38 Super. Yet. But I kind of want a 1911 in 38 Super - just because! Am thinking a blued Colt with ivory grips... Might have to swap a gun to afford something like that. :) Regards, Guy

Under an inch with five shots from the 300 PRC is just fine. You've got it well dialed for accuracy. I've only used the lighter 178 gr ELD-X on one cow elk, a couple of years ago with Dale (filmjunkie here on the forum). Accuracy was excellent. Cow elk was at 405 yards in a stiff crosswind...

Congrats! Particularly on the blesbok. I have read somewhere that ostrich can get downright pushy and aggressive, even dangerous. Guy

I got that book years ago - and had already committed to doing much of my hunting with a 30-06 Remington 700 30-06, with handloaded Nosler 165's - the combo that the author used so well for so long. He also turned to 200 grain Partitions for the really big Alaskan brown bear and I think one...

Outstanding! Thanks for filling in the details. :) Guy

Guybo - that's a fine looking rifle and takes a mighty nice cartridge. Guy

Congrats! More info please. Guy

Wow, what a great rifle! Beautiful and in a classic cartridge. I hope it shoots really well - Tikka's usually do - and you usually coax the very best accuracy out of your rifles. I'd think deer, pronghorn and that sort of thing? Guy

375... That's a cartridge that deserved to be more popular. Great looking rifle! I'd imagine that it shoots well? Guy

I'm interested in the terminal performance of the bullets. Standard 7mm "cup and core" projectiles might be overwhelmed by high impact velocity. This seems to be a candidate for mono-metal bullets like Nosler's E-Tip. I think Federal's Terminal Ascent is a pretty tough bullet but I've never...

Excellent! Troubling about the case head separation. A fine reason to take two rifles I suppose. Guy

Good looking Marlin! Not a doggone thing wrong with a scope on a Marlin.

Nice! Only thing I'd do to that load, is load up a hundred more of them... :) Guy

Excellent! Love the wear on the rings... Guy
