I have been trying to find the cross section pictures of them on my computer, but alas, I have lost them. I tried to dissect a few bullets last night but did not have the tools I needed to make the cuts pretty. It did appear that the jacket thickness of the 120 was thicker than the 140 and...

Unless things have changed recently, this is how I understand it. The 120 and 150 BTips in the 7mm line have a little thicker jacket intended for medium game hunting. The 140 BTip is the more traditional jacket. The 120 is made for the 7-08. If impact speeds aren't excessive it really...

He turns 3 next week. Gotta start them young Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Nothing wrong with that, probably what I will end up doing, just my friend seems to have antleritis this year and that is throwing me off. My real question to myself is it worth getting point creeped to death for the hope of hunting a monster in a limited unit someday when I can hunt for a...

Why am I too stupid to figure out a good tag strategy for non-resident elk in Wyoming? Build points, or general tag, or... too many options. My hunting buddy wants to hunt this year but doesn't want to burn points, maybe we could just deer hunt and scout for elk. If we save our points we...

76 grains of 7828 runs about 3150 in my STW, 74 grains is my sweet spot and runs about 3080. SubMOA all day. You will be right where you want with your load[emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Logan. Dead on. We are hunting the west side of the Crazies. Not having much luck between the weather and lots of fellow hunters. Seems the game has moved down to the valley. My buddy did fill a deer tag with a whitetail at 7600 ft elevation. That was surprising to us flatlanders. Sent...

Elk and deer are on the menu. Got chased off the mountain this afternoon by high winds and snow squalls. Waiting to see fresh tracks in the snow tomorrow morning. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Well, reworking the bedding and resetting the scope did absolutely nothing to improve the horizontal problem. So I went and switched scopes out this morning and went to the range this afternoon. Not ideal conditions... but with rain/snow in the forecast tomorrow I figured I needed to get...

The 60.5gn charge had almost no vertical to it. In all of the groups, the largest vertical spread I saw was about 0.75 inches. All but one group had 2+ inches of horizontal spread. In the first 2 pictures you can see it walk left-right-left-right-left-right. Something was repeatable... If...

Ring screws were fine, pulled scope. Mount screws were fine. Retorqued everything as I reset the scope. Rechecked the floated barrel. Only resistence was about a half inch ahead of the action. Pulled the action. Found that the factory bedding had a bubble of epoxy supporting the bottom of...

Not a great start at the range, got a horizontal stringing problem. Checked and tightened the action screws and it didn't help, ran them up to 60 inch pounds. Time to bed the action and recheck the scope mounts. I had considered the shooter, but with the 30-06 running well and the...

I shot the donor for my 7-300 and it turned in 0.4, 0.7, and 0.5 inch groups. Thankfully I already had a 7 Rem mag that shot as well. I will hold on to that factory barrel just in case I need it someday. I would never get anything out of it if I sold it. I will dial in this load and maybe...

Don't shoot the donor, don't shoot the donor, don't shoot the donor... remind me next time. She shoots pretty good. Didn't have live batteries for the Magneto today so no speeds. 165gn BTips, H4350, Federal 210M, Winchester brass. There is a node in there. Ran up to 57.5gn H4350 and...

Lefty, I suppose I will have to pick up a 7x57 someday. That and a 28 Nosler if/when the STW needs a new barrel. TD, I tried the 168 VLDs in my 7 Rem but it didn't like them. The throat is getting long and I couldn't seem to find a magic seating depth. The rifle still shoots 140 Accubonds...

Cleaned out the reloading junk drawer over the weekend. Found some odds and ends of previous rifles I have owned. Put a few mock-ups together using old retired brass. From the left. 7-08. Had one for a brief period of time. Not a stellar varmint nor a long range big game cartridge. Fun...

It looks like the ring is where your die sized the neck, not a crimp. I bet these are hard to chamber in your rifle because you have a tighter necked chamber than the rifle they were fired in last. The way the carbon marked your fired cases only where they had been resized would make me think...

I enjoy reading Mr. Fosters articles and find lots of useful information. But, I have also learned to take what he says with a grain of salt. He is very into Terminal Ballistics, ie. damage done by the bullet. The more damage, the more interesting to him (I assume). He routinely talks up the...

Welcome. This community is special. From the kind gentlemen and special ladies, there is a plethora of knowledge and experience. I expect you will enjoy your time here at least as much as I do. Heal quickly!

I cannot get the model to match both of your data points at the same time. I have had a little concern that the QL numbers for the Enduron powders doesn't fit very well with my previous load work with them. The burn rate with 4451 is quite a bit higher in the program compared to what I see...
