    ATTN: Nosler

    The bearing surface is so long on the 160AB/BT I think I want to take a heavier version off my Christmas list, for now. I’m really hoping this ABLR keeps me happy, bought some more in 30 cal in 190 and 210’s. And I’ve got access to . 264 of the 142gr type.🤞

    ATTN: Nosler

    Of the 4 animals taken so far with the 168ABLR, the latest was a 180#ish boar. Distance about 230yds, complete pass through, broadside, double lung. The internal damage must have been extensive, he only managed about 30yds from the impact site, yet gave zero indication of a hit. Wild hogs are...

    Primer Question?

    It can be a vast difference, depending on what it prefers. Drop down a couple grains and do another charge weight test. Sometimes it can make things fall right in place.

    ATTN: Nosler

    Sort em to the nearest thou, and they will group tight. Get them touching to .005 off, in there close. People may say it’s not worth it, but how many shots are actually taken at animals ? I’m not going to use them for year round play. The BTO variation within some boxes is pretty bad… last one...

    168 ABLR .284

    This is my first CFW barrel, I’m used to rem-varmint, palma, #6 type contours. This is a very comfortable setup with precision to boot

    168 ABLR .284

    I used Reloader 23 for the test. N565 is next, I did a 5 shot ladder test with it yesterday looking at velocity that measured .416 CTC, over 2 full grains. The rifle was built by Kinport Peak Rifles in Pocatello. Justin Linenbach. 7 Sherman Max Defiance Deviant Tactical L/A 24” Benchmark...

    168 ABLR .284

    Have any of you ever sorted these, based on BTO length? I did based on advice from a very experienced gentleman from S.C. and the results are impressive. Over a 3.5GR spread, in 8 separate 3-shot groups, the largest was .846 and the smallest was .242” at 100yds. These were seated tight to the...

    Vihtavuori powder for .257 Weatherby

    It seems common to get about all the case will hold with a drop tube, and you are within a grain or two of ideal…and max. But start low obviously and work up as normal. It’s been very stable and predictable for me in 2 rifles, and lacks the erosion rate of n570, along with slightly reduced...

    I’ve been told to sort them by length, and seat them close to the lands. Haven’t tried yet, though.

    25 Sherman

    I’m trying to upload the target now, clumped into 3 nodes nicely. My first time with the n555 powder so I was shooting at 100yds.

    25 Sherman

    Had some more fun with the 25 Sherman last weekend. It’s on fire! I can’t get the photos to load, but it’s extremely tight with n555 and 85gr varmint BT’s. Stopped adding powder at 3950!!

    7mm Rem Mag 160 grain Accubond load

    Looking for a stable and repeating load is the best goal, whether it’s 2850 or 3100 or anything between. I have to remind myself of this fact! Never had an issue with those bullets, concerning precision or performance on game. Do you have a magazine length restriction on your overall cartridge...
