Yup! 53.6 TAC over FED 215 in re-formed Grafs 308Win brass for 2652FPS @ 70F. OAL is pretty long due my throat and mag length. It's a 19" JES 3 groove re-bore: This one went longways through a boar at 10' and ended up in the hind quarter. It's the only one I've managed to recover. I...

I use TAC in my 358Win and 350RM with the 200grn Hornady Interlocks. I just haven't had time to switch the 350RM over yet. I've still got 25rds loaded of 225PTs and 115 225PTs in boxes, so after this season I'll make the switch. Once I developed the 200grn Hornady load the 225s went on the...

Yup, over an Ohler 35P and a LabRadar, but I'm about out of IMR4320, so might be switching to TAC. Barnes lists 2760 with their 225 an TAC, so I'll probably get close to my 2740. My 350RM is one of the custom shop guns that started as an MS: That I Cerakoted and dropped in a Manners EH8...

They (the 225s) worked well on a 5x4 I shot in CO. The cool part about he .358 225s in the M7 is they fit well with the M7s magazine limits of 2.8" and still have a decent BC. I get right at 2740 FPS with IMR4320 out of my 20" barrels which gets me out to 400yds (if needed) and still have...

I use them in my .270Win and a 300WM and they shoot well. One thing I learned is they're really particular in the amount of jump. I initially tried the standard starting point of 0.020 from the lands and it sucked.. 2-3MOA at 100yds. I then back-up up, and regrouped using the Nosler recommended...

AWESOME! Positively my favorite bullet in my REM Model 7 in 350RM! I've got several alerts setup on some of the bigger reloading sites, just waiting to get the notice. Now I've got a bison hunt lined up for JAN, so some 250 PTs would be nice :)

I hunted boars in Germany with a .270Win, using 130BTs, both driven and from stands without an issue. Stateside I've hunted feral hogs with: 225 PTs and Hornady 200 grn Interlocks in a 350RM and 180grn Speer HotCors in a 358 Win, again never had a problem. I've only recovered 1 bullet to date...

I agree. In the "premium" bullet lineup I've used PTs, NABs and ABLRs, TTX and TTSX. All have worked as advertised.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a neck tension issue, bullet, or bad primer. It could even be a chronograph issue, which is why I go through the shot string and look at the individual shots. When I run a vibration trigger on my Labradar for 22LRs and suppressors, every once in a while...

That was the exact point I was making, not enough of a sample size to be accurate and 1 "bad" or off round in a 4 shot string can skew the results drastically. 10 is the minimum, better is multiple 10 shot strings over varying temps to get my data for my ballistic app. I use TAC in; .223...

How many shots per chronograph reading? It looks like there was a "bad" round in your 2nd string that caused an ES of 85.4.

It does, I use it on the brass cases for my BPCR blow tubes and to clean expander mandrels. Just gets a little time consuming when it comes to hundreds of cases:)

I decap first, then use a Thumler's Tumbler; tumbling with SS pins, water, 1/4 tsp amount of Lemi Shine and a capful of ArmorAll car wash soap. I then dry them using a re-purposed jerky dehydrator. After sizing I remove the lube using a vibratory cleaner and corncob media. I then expand my...

"Testing" is how I learned that I needed a hitch extender for my UTV for it to work. It might be the 23 year army career, but I'm a huge fan of rehearsals before going live.

That's: Reformed Graf's 308 Win brass: 180 Speer FP FED 215 52.9 TAC MV; 2561 FPS at 31F OAL of 2.6860. It's a JES Re-Bore with a pretty long throat, so these are magazine length. I've gone as high as 54.0 for pressure testing without an issue, so I may do round 2 of load development when it...

Luckily I've got 25 rds loaded and a full box of 50. I plan on using my 350RM for a Bison hunt in Jan. In my 358Win I've had very good luck with the Speer 180 HotCor FPs on pigs. This one travelled the full length of a boar at 10' and ended up in the hind qtr. It shoots pretty well in my 19"...

Shot this one last month in SA with a 300win Mag and Barnes 180 TTSX: Just before going out my PH suggested that I use his 375 H&H due the terrain and brush. We'd had a tough time previously getting clear shots of Kudu and Gemsbok. The 300 worked fine at 60yds for a frontal shot, he jumped...

I put this together a couple years ago for our annual deer drives, but I've yet to kill a deer with it. A Rem 7600 re-bored to 358 Win (was a .243Win) that I had the barrel chopped down to 19", sights remounted, added synthetic furniture, and Cerakoted in burnt bronze. It wears a Leupold 1.5-5X...

One of the best pieces of advice I ever took, a loader solves a lot of problems, and turns 2-3 man jobs into 1 man jobs!

I bought one a couple years ago for the same reason, comes in really handy when I travel to hunt. I bought a hitch extension so I can use it on my UTV also. Out back and on my neighbor's place I just rely on my Kubota:
