    1 1/2 Years

    Fotis, JD338, and all of the other Mods do a great job here. It's been so long since I joined this forum I had to go look. WOW, it's been 15 years :shock: . Learned lots of stuff here in those 15 years.

    H414 discontinued

    If so, I'm good as I only use it for the 180AB load in my 30-06 and I have 2 full 1lb jugs plus a partial jug of it.

    Primers?

    As did I. I haven't really needed to buy any primers or powder in 10 years, but I'm not shoot as much anymore.

    338 Again

    With my load development, I'll choose a powder that'll potentially give me beat velocity and fill as close to 100%. Then I'll find the most accurate powder charge. Next, depending on if I need to, I'll play with the seating depth to see if it can make it even more accurate.

    Nosler Accubond seating advice

    I usually start at .020 of the lands, if I'm limited by magazine length, I'll start out by what will fit and function in the magazine with no jamming. Seating depth for my Rem Ultra Mags are limited by the magazine. I found that 3.67" is what will fit and function in the RUM magazine, so I...

    Remington 700 Aftermarket Trigger Upgrade

    I don't remember which RUM has the Jewel trigger and the Rifle Basix trigger. Either way my 338RUM and my 7MMRum both got new triggers. The gunsmith friend in Lompoc, CA did the swap and set them to 2 3/4lbs. They are nice.

    270 WSM info wanted.

    A Winchester M70 "Walmart combination special" was my first rifle I purchased in late 2003. It's been a great rifle. Between my 30-06 and 270WSM, my girlfriend chose it to use in her first hunt ever in 2017. I've taken quite a few CA hogs and blacktail deer and a couple of cow elk here in Idaho...

    Load Development with Accubond bullets

    Most of my hunting rifles are shooting Accubonds. I've found that for me, they have liked very little jump. For instance, my 30-06 has an OAL of 3.39" vs. the Nosler listed SAMMI OACL of 3.34 and their own load data OACL of 3.30.

    Which rifles are on your wish list?

    When I can afford it, rifles chambered for 28 & 33 Nosler are on the list. Thinking about the 28 from Browning or Christensen. Haven't decided what brand to get the 33 from. I already have a Nosler M48 Heritage (26) and the M48 Liberty (30).

    Bullets for elk?

    Use them. I shoot the 150gn E-tip out of my 7mmRUM. I've had zero issues or complaints with them performing on game.

    Hunting bullet for 6.5 Creedmoor

    Although Nosler loaded ammo, the 129 ABLR out of a 6.5 Creedmoor performed great on my girlfriend's first cow elk last year. The shot was 320 yds (yeah, she got a bit lucky).

    Bigger Bores & Bigger Bullets

    LOL, my first muley was taken with my 375 RUM shooting the 260gn AB at about 100 yards.

    2019 SE Idaho Muley & Elk Success

    Last year I scored a cow elk with my 30 Nosler using 180ABs, so, this year I took out my 26 Nosler using 140ABs to hunt mule deer and antlered elk. I got very lucky and got a 4x4 buck on the second evening of deer season, 11 Oct. So after sitting around for 3 days after getting my buck dealt...

    Wow - Lot's of Hype for the 6.5s

    I was impressed with the 6.5 Creed I bought for my girlfriend. She got her first cow elk with it last fall. The shot was around 310 yds. We are using Nosler ammo with the 129 ABLR. The rifle is a Savage Axys II hardwood model.

    New Nosler 26 not grouping well

    Shooter's Pro Shop has Trophy Grade 26 Nosler 140AB ammo in stock and they have a 4th of July sale going on. MidwayUSA also has Trophy Grade 26 Nosler 140AB ammo in stock. FWIW, my Nosler Heritage 26 Nosler does really well with the 140AB Trophy Grade ammo. Mine is sporting a Leupold VX-5HD 3x15-44

    .338 Win Mag Cow Elk Bullet

    The 225AB has worked well for me out of my 338WM. My load isn't the fastest, but it is accurate out of my Browning A-bolt with the BOSS. Edit: The average velocity I get is 2784 fps.

    6.5 success

    Good cow elk bullet too. My GF took one last fall at 300 yds.

    300 RUM 210 ABLR RL33/Retumbo

    Since my 300RUM shoots the 200AB so well, I don't feel the need to mess with it. That being said, here's my load data: Rifle: Rem 700, 26" barrel in a laminate thumb-hole stock 200AB 95gn Retumbo Rem brass trimmed to 2.83 Fed GM215M primers COL(base to bullet tip): 3.635 Avg 6 shot velocity...
