I dipped into my last bottle of RL26 to see how it performed in the 24" barrelled Remington 700. This rifle has displayed sub-MOA accuracy with the 95 gr. TTSX and 130 gr. NBT bullets.
The load tried today used some 150 LRAB bullets I traded for seated at 3.492" OAL which has a .020" jump...
I've been using a CED chronograph for decades, but recently purchased a LabRadar. Part of this was due to the available light available at the local range, as the screen were almost only in the shadows except during mid-Summer. I was able to try a LabRadar before I purchased a unit, otherwise I...
This is the lowest online price I found, if they were in stock:

That amount x4 and actual shipping will get them in your hands.

My wife wanted the tree gone before this occurred, and the BMW dealership had already spent $65,000 towards the removal of tree, so I just had them call in an arborist to finish removing the tree and grinding the stump.
My rural front yard is a gathering place for cars as they don't respect the corner that is posted at 25 mph and I can easily drive my Honda Civic through at 45 mph without squealing or drifting. During the summer months the local kids turn my road into a raceway and I have been trained to know...
I purchased a large quantity of Barnes 95 gr. TTSX bullets from a commercial loaded years ago for use in my 6.8 SPC, only to find out they wouldn't cycle when loaded with AA2200 (the optimum powder). Then a couple weeks ago I stumbled onto a Remington M700 270 with a matte finish and wood...
The old Reminton Powerlokt HP had thin plated jackets and deliver excellent accuracy in my rifles. Tried them in a fast twist 223 and they would come apart before traveling 100 yards, but they were devistating when fired fired from a 10 twist barrel.
It was crafted by Larry Brace from the Eugene, who passed away about 10 years ago.
Larry was one of the founding members of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild ACGG and from this rifle it's easy to see why.
The action is Husqvarna and the caliber is 7x57mm
Much appreciated. It somewhat comforting to know that your simulations pretty well match up with those I did.
The accuracy node in my rifle seems to be between 15.5 and 16.0, so it's time to more closely explore that region.
I'm a believer that there isn't a free lunch so to say, and that higher than expected velocities come with higher than expected pressures.
I worked up the the Hodgdon maximum load and the accuracy was improving as the charge weight was increased. At 16 gr. the primers still looked normal, but...
Since you're going with a new design I'd look at the 6.5 Bee RPM case, and shorten it as needed.
Much like a stretched 284 case, that should have as much or more capacity as the 280 AI.
.473" rim and .500" case head, so the magazine modifications should be minimal.
One of my bucket list/unicorn rifles was a Ross M1910 in 280 Ross. They were only made from 1910 to 1916 and the 280 Ross nearly delivered 7mm Remington when fired in a 30" barrel. I snagged a beautiful 4 digit S/N first year production rifle in outstanding condition inside and out and the...
Looking for QL data for the 45-70 using the 350 gr. Barnes TSX FB loaded to 2.800" and a MAP of 31000psi
IMR 3031 would be my first choice, but have a good selection of powder to choose from.
Much appreciated.
