The Speer 160 BTSP shoots well in the couple of 280s that I load for but use IMR 4831 with them. They also shoot the 145 gr BTSP well with H4350. Never have got the grandslams to shoot as well. Recently tried the 150 swift scirocco 11 with Imr 7828 and found a nice load with the one gun but have...
Got some 235 gr Speers coming to try as well as some old stock 270 gr nosler partitions to try that got in a package deal with some old stock Winchester brass.
Also got a text from my buddy saying he has a bear down but not sure which gun he used the 375 or 338 he is still out there for a week...
Tried a bunch of different things with the H4350 the best 3 shot group was around 1 1/2 inches was using my buddys federal primers with these loads. Pretty much all ways had 2 good and a flyer and always vertical.
I decided to try the IMR 4831 with CCI primers which is all I use and found a load...
Used a 22-250 a lot in B.C. on mule deer and whitetail shot a black bear with it as well. Others used my gun on many deer and a mountain goat as well. Bullet used was a 70 grain Speer.
Used this on many coyotes and a few wolves also. Have since had it rebarreled into a 7mm-08.
Well got out and tried a few 2 shot loads and think I have found one that will try seated just a bit deeper and see what happens. All loads were with H4350 I may try one or 2 next time with some IMR 4831 just to see for have so much more of it.
Shot another guys a few times but no not much, shot the 338 a fair bit and years ago
shot another guys 570 nitro I think that's what it was may have the numbers wrong.
This 375 is not mine just trying to find a load for a friend he has shoulder issues and can not take much shooting so cant do...
Thanks for the info guys got a few loaded to go try. Hodgdons site said min for H4350 was 77 gr so started there and was going to go up but don't no if could get any more in, so stopped there and loaded a few at guys load of 75 gr. There is quit a jump on them as well to make them fit in the...
A friend dropped off his gun to see if could find a decent load for his 375 H&H mag
Bullets I have are 300gr sierra I don't have a sierra manual. Powders I have are H4350 and Imr 4831 I found some load data for the H4350 for it. Any one have some for the IMR 4831. For those that shoot this...
some very nice loads and groups there guys thanks for posting. The last 3 shot group I did with the 160 speers I could cover with a penny. I have to go back next week and see if it can be duplicated or close to it. A half grain more powder and it opened up to 2 inches. Its point of impact is 8...
How does it shoot with the heavier bullets, I will try and get out one evening to try again and if shoots the same will be good. I use h4350 with the 145 but IMR 4831 was better with the 160 BTSP. Just not sure how it will be at any distance.
I tried Barnes 120 and 140 There is a few other 140gr bullets may try yet,
was also thinking of Hornady 154 interbonds but don't no if can find any of those.
So far it seems to like boat tails style bullets.
Any one shooting heavier bullets in there 7mm-08. Have one that seems quit finicky
A Remington 700LSS mountain rifle shoots the 145 BTSP fairly well, just got some 145 Speer grand slams so far nothing better then 2 inch So tried some 160 BTSP loads and found one that looks promising will be...
Thanks for the info, how do they compare say to the partition or accubond.
They seem to be cheaper in price and there is some available so may just try
them instead of looking for the others. From what I see on there site just load them
like you would the partition does that sound correct...
Was just wondering if you ever weigh the bullets I opened a new box today of the 7mm caliber 150gr to load some up and weighed about 50 of them never did find one that was 150gr they veried from 149.6 to 150.3 Im not sure if that makes much difference on groups but has me wondering if it could...
Any thoughts on the woodleigh bullets looking at the 140gr in 7mm caliber looking to use it in the 7mm-08 and possible the 280. Any pros/cons is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
