Comparing the BC of a semi-spitzer partition to a Accubond is not a fair comparison. Out here, the two main bullets for bigger then deer is the 140gr AB, and the 150gr Partition. If Nosler made a 150gr AB in .277 it's BC would be just under .5 As for the 175gr Partition in the .280, Those...

It's very unlikely it will degrade you accuracy. Anytime I have a rifle that won't shoot, the very first thing I check is if the barrel is completely free floated. Several times I've been told, "try it with the pressure point first"...That's never worked for me....First two things I do with any...

I suspect you are trying to cut too much all at once. Try this, Loosen the cutter, lube the mandrel, push the case mouth over the mandrel and make sure the case turns freely. Tighten the cutter a little bit, and perform a cut, repeat until you get to the desired neck thickness. I usually take...

I get 3800+ with the 120's out of my STW. I don't plan to use this on elk!

Tec, the issue is barrel stiffness. A stiffer barrel can be achieved by either making is shorter, or thicker. You will notice that benchrest barrels are generally both on the short side, and very thick. Unless this is a match grade rifle, or a very thin barrel, I'm not sure you will notice any...

Quarter bores on Mule Deer, yes. For elk, the minimum should be a .270 Win, with a 140gr ab/150gr partition. A dedicated elk rifle should be a minimum of 8mm.

RL-19 is very close in burn rate to 4350, and a little slower then varget. In general, anyplace you can use 4350 or varget, you can use RL-19. As for what combination will your rifle prefer, the only way to know is take it out to the range and ask it. If you are already satisfied with you...

It's calling your name!! http://shootersproshop.com/index.php?ro ... uct_id=901

Well, if you have 6 people in the house, I'd say you have the right number of '06's. Now you just need to make sure everyone has an AR as well.

SAS, the 165gr AB/BT and RL19 is a classic combination in the 30.06. As JD mentioned, IMR 4350 is forum favorite for this 165's in the "06

Partitions can be more picky then the ballistic tips. Sub 1 1/4" is usually easy, but breaking an inch may take a little more. But, find what they like and they can deliver great groups. The 60gr partition is one of the most accurate bullets out of my .223, consistantly delivering 5/8" groups.

45-70 Lever rifle, with the long barrel, and the long magazine. :grin:

I've seen velocities suprise by 300+ fps more then once. Without a chronograph is just a guess. For $100.00 it's a good investement for any handloader.

As Dr, Mike pointed out, QL is just a computer simulation. The accuracy of the results cannot exceed the quality of the inputs. That said, QL can provide some advantages such as being able to vary case capacity and barrel length, and cartridge OAL to reflect your personal rifle. With several...

Jason, if it was my rifle, and Elk were on the table, I'd sure like to get those 180gr BT's to shoot well. If not, I'd be happy to shoot the 165gr BT's. My top power choices in no particular order would be: W760 with a magnum/match primer IMR4350 with CCI200 RL-17 Maybe Ramshot and perhaps...

A true "Elk Rifle" start at 8mm. Anything smaller is just a deer rifle you take elk hunting.

Back in the day, when I had to do everything with just a .270 Winchester, I had three loads for it. 90gr Sierra HP's at 3500 for varmits. 130/150 gr Solidbase for deer and antelope 150gr Partitions for Elk. As I aquired more rifles, I needed fewer loads per rifle.

Formula is simple: ball powder = Mag or match primer.

The CCI 200 is a cold primer. I would not suspect it as a source of excess pressure. In addition CCI's are a hard primer. They will blow before they will pierce. I've used BLC2 in the 308 with success. It likes either a match, or a magnum primer. I've had good luck with the BR-2's. The US...

Tell us more about this new stock? 10+ years with no problems. Put on a new stock....and then you have problems.... So it sounds like we know the proximate cause. What make is the rifle, what make is the stock?
