This powder supply thing is interesting. When things really dried up during covid H4350 was about the only thing I could get locally. That was the case for a long enough period I worked up loads in 8 or 9 rifles.
My only complaint about partitions is Nosler never made one in 750gr for the 577. My 375HH shoots them to well under MOA. Most everything else has been right at 1moa or a touch more. Chasing accuracy I have largely switched to Accubonds but I still keep partitions around. I know I’ve a box...
The truth is in the market. I sold almost 200 of my late Brother in Laws guns, and a few of my own on gun broker last year. I did use a broker who drove to BILs house inventoried the guns ammo holsters and anything else we could get in the truck. It all sold. As too the guns all but a couple of...
I’m transitioning to VV but to date I’ve just used N560 in my 300 HH. Good velocity , 3000 fps and accurate. just about out of RL 15 so I’ll be getting some VV 550 and 555 in my 375. Should also work in the 06. Seems like the 500 series gives better velocity.
Looking forward to your reviews.
During my guiding career we had a group of guys take most or all of our deer hunts for quite a few years. Good group of guys and the second or third year they were all shooting sst out of a variety of dual purpose cartidges; 7mm, 06 a 300 or two kind of thing. Their goal was to get it done the...
We had snow all the way down in the valley last week, I think at this time of year it doesn’t take much to push them. That being said there are not very many elk down currently.
I’ve never measured mine, i know I have generous chamber. I don’t know if I have any brass that hasn’t been sized yet. If so I’ll see what I might learn.
Sheep, Moose, elk, White tail, blacktail, mule deer on this continent.
Throw in Africa eland, zebra, Nyala probably top my list.
If it’s got feathers nothing beats Ptarmigan in the fall. Nothing comes remotely close.
I think this rifle is my favorite all around rifle, nipping at the heels of a 280, it’ll work for elk in the right circumstances and anything lighter. Considering taking it to Africa this spring as Gemsbok is the biggest critter on my list this time. Probably still just take the 300 HH.
Well that is lower than I thought. I should be content with a 140 out of 7x57 hitting low to mid 2900s and being below 60 k. Accurate too.
Thank you Dr. Mike.

During Covid when powder became difficult to find, H4350 was the only thing I could find, or so it seemed. I ran out of Rl 26; 22; 19; 17;15, you get the idea. I’ve now got a load worked up in all my rifles from .22-250 to 375HH using H4350. H4350 works well in my 300HH which has the same case...
