    Range day - 240 Wby

    Alliant powders are pretty difficult to find these days. I was thinking of maybe trying Retumbo.

    Range day - 240 Wby

    A chrono is on my list of things to get :) Estimating 3200-3300 from the 24in barrel.

    Got out to the range to test some loads in my Vanguard. Looking promising. Hornady 95gr SST H4831 CCI200

    Will have to buy a few 8lb once I get a load chosen lol

    416 Weatherby

    I have owned and shot most of the Bee's and the worst so far was an older Japanese .378 with no brake and a lighter contour barrel. Just plain nasty from the bench. Even an older Pendleton braked .460 firing the old "elephant" box factory ammo wasn't near as bad. Still gives me nightmares.

    Not sure what bullets yet. Most likely TTSX or Swift if I can find some. Got brass already, so must get the rifle now :)

    416 Weatherby

    Got my eye on a nice Mk V Safari and was wondering what a good powder would be for 350-400gr bullets. Alliant powders seem to be almost impossible to find these days, so RL22 might not be possible.

    H870 data

    Would anyone have access to an old Nosler manual that lists H870 with the 125 PT in the .264 Win?

    Got it, thanks!

    Swift A-Frame

    Just picked up some 120gr A-Frames to try in my .264 and was wondering if anyone had access to Swift data? If they perform well, I will buy the manual lol

    264 WM

    Would anyone happen to know if a 1-9” twist will stabilize the Norma 156gr Oryx?

    264 WM

    I’m thinking the PT will work pretty good. Should be perfect for deer.

    264 WM

    Just recently picked up a M70 SG in this chambering and was able to find some Retumbo along with 125gr PT. Seems like a good combination to start with. Has anyone used this load and what was your starting charge? I’m kinda limited for bullet selection due to the 1-9” twist. But also have some...

    Jags

    Just curious if anyone is concerned about false copper signs on their patches using standard brass jags? Specifically using Patch Out or Wipe Out .

    Completed transition from Alliant to Hodgdon...

    Any recommendations for a VV powder that would work well in the .264 WM? Retumbo is getting harder to find and the price is becoming outrageous ($100/lb)

    Redding trimmer

    Can anyone ID this model? It shows 14 on the underside of the base, but doesn’t look like a model 14. More like a 1400 but the cutter is one piece with the shaft.

    Resizing question

    Thanks for the responses. Would it be worthwhile to purchase a Hornady headspace kit?

    Resizing question

    I just acquired a Carl Gustav 3000 and it uses a Sauer 80 action. Since it is rear locking, is FL sizing the best method. Or could neck sizing be used?
