After getting some very fast loads compared to book velocities, I cleaned my rifle very deeply including iosso with brushes and then wipeout overnight. Velocity dropped 200 fps with the next rounds. After some searches I find some shooters saying the Reloder 16 I was using lays down carbon...

The stick on reading lenses can be trimmed and put anywhere on your shooting glasses. I have one on the upper left quadrant of one pair i use for open sights. The ones i use can be easily removed and relocated with some water...

If you are getting very good accuracy with the Sierra, I 'd stick with that for deer. My dad and grandad took a lot of elk with the 180 grain Game King and deer and antelope with the 25cal Game King. Another 30-30 bullet is the Hornady 170 grain flat point. Hornady told me they expand at 300...

Still working on loads for my friend's 33 Winchester. Got some round nose bullets now, so we can upgrade it from a two shooter.

What pipeline was shut down? Anything actually carrying oil? What wells? Pandemic gas prices WERE pretty low. Trumps first term started 2017, The Dakota boom peaked in 2012 and dropped off rapidly after 2015. Trump is currently getting the Nations of Saudi Arabia and the UAE to invest...

A discontinued hollowpoint https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1010923633?pid=432500

Max velocity for that bullet weight is 3800 per Sierra where I got the load data. No pressure signs, but I don't want to wear out a 95 year old action. Ballistics table shows that even 3700 fps will keep a sub 1" point blank range for 225 yards.

I like Alliant too, but am having good luck with Winchester Staball series of powders as their replacement for rifle.

You know Russia is part of OPEC. High gas prices under Biden were due to loss of refineries under Trump

Trying out some 75 grain Hornady hollow point in the 25-270. Reloder 16 Looks like I am going to have to drop down another grain. This load was 1 grain under max.

I have found the Game King bullets to be very accurate. Under 2800 fps I would use on deer.

All of a sudden I noticed all shots going over the top of the paper. Apparently the front sight had fallen off! Couldn't find the sight or the roll pin. I see a HiViz sight offered. I went ahead an ordered it. What would be a good replacement? Is a fiber optic sight durable and a step up? Other...

I have some 1680 left from another project. Any data for 308 or 06 based cartridges?

So i picked up some Titegroup at North40 farm supply. $34. Not bad for today prices and it looks like I can use in 38 special too.

I wonder why IMR dropped their Red, Green, Target so fast. I bought the Green for $14 in 2023. I saw the Alliant version of Green Dot for $54 last winter. Seems like if IMR could sell something for $14 a couple of years ago they could make big bucks selling it for $40+ now.

Thanks, titegroup looks like a good one being insensitive to position and hodgdon has subsonic lacketed loads for 308 and 30-06. Cast bullets are more forgiving, so titegroup should be easy to find loads for them.

I want to do that

With 178 ELD x. Slow and ho hum accuracy. R17 better at both. IMR 4895 too. I bought some of the staball match to try as i really like the 6.5 in 30-06 and 7x57.
