Use a reloading manual start low and gradually work up. Using a conagraph can help you and save on reloading components by doing a ladder test. If not start about 3 grains below the maximum listed load and load 4 rounds . Then increase the next load by .5 gr then the next .5 gr till you get to...
Partitions are designed to expand the front half with the rear half driving thru. I have used partitions in 223 Rem, 243 Win, 25-06 Rem, 270 Win and 30-06 all of them expanded gave more than satisfactory results.
Public land spring gobbler hunting can be tough and dangerous. Do the daybreak scouting finding where gobblers are gobbling on the roost. DO NOT call to them before season opens that just educates them. That was a real popular thing to do on some public land I used to hunt. Not the wise thing to...
Welcome. Jim has given you good information. I can testify that either the BT or PT bullets are good deer getters. As he said if your rifle won't group the BTs then there is some other issue. Used a 120gr BT in my 7mm08 this past buck season second week on a small buck and it was complete pass...

Good shooting. Lot of deer can be taken with that load. IMR4895 has been an old standby in the 308 for years before Varget came along. In my current 308 IMR4895 does well with one bullet but put Varget under it and not so much. Varget with other bullets does just fine. One of the joys of...
I have 2 pistols with red dots and now 1 with a green dot sight. Before red was pretty east to see then before cataract surgery got really hard to distinguish. Have a red fiber optic and green fiber optic on couple of shotguns. Since getting this last Ronin with the green dot I have really...
Well, after considering both the Kimber and the Springfield Ronin package I went with the Ronin. For about a hundred dollars more got a dot sight and 3 extra mags. Having a Ronin already in 45acp it seemed to make a little more sense.
