Thanks for the info Guy.. Hoping to see good velocity and accuracy in my wifes Ruger #1, 26in barrel. No magazine restriction there. It has shown good things with the 75 gr Vmax and the 85 gr BT. My 22 inch barrel Ruger M77 has a long action so that shouldn't be a restriction either. Got 4 sets...
No worries... thanks to all of you that use your time and expertise to help out with our QL and all other questions reloading related. I have reloaded my own ammo for close to 15 years, and have learned more in the last 18 months hanging out here.. I definitely do a few things different now...
Thanks Dr Mike... I am pleasantly surprised with those numbers.
Working up for a Colorado Mule deer hunt this fall. So should I start with velocity and pressure workup and then go to the Berger recommended OAL tests?
Thanks again to everyone.
Ed
Request as the title states.. One for 22 in barrel and one for 26 in barrel.
Norma MRP
IMR 7828 SSC, probably a bit slow for this one.
IMR 4831
and a burn chart also
Thanks so much..
Ed
I have taken 2 shots at game at over 600yds.. The first one I will say that I am in no ways proud of my accomplishment. Last day of deer season in Colorado and we had not seen any bucks.. I mean any, and I wasn't about to let this one disappear over the next ridge after stalking him for over an...
Gerry,
I plan on working up a load for my Vanguard S2 270 win. Will be trying Norma MRP and Imr 7828 SSC. 3100 looks easy with both powders, but 7828 would be MAX for that velocity. I thought about RE26, but I have a 8lb can of Norma MRP and QL doesn't show much difference than MRP. I have...
Thanks so much for your help Tack.. Maybe some others will get some use of the collaboration since this bullet is pretty new. Plan on working up a load to use Mule deer hunting in Colorado this fall. Thanks again and take care..
Ed
OK, went and did a bunch of measurements on the bullet..
.277 dia
1.375 OAL
145 gr
BT taper is .160, .235 at the base to .277 at the thickest
Ogive taper is .500, .130 to .277, not measuring the plastic tip.
Hopefully this will cover what you need.. if not I can measure some more..
Thanks
Ed
If some one could run the QL with the Hornady 140 Gr SST
24 in Barrel
Norma MRP, IMR 7828 SSC, IMR 4831
H2O capacity of once fired neck sized brass is 70.1 Grains
Thanks so much, :grin:
Ed
WOW.. great service. If I would have know they would done that I would have called them when I ordered rings for the No1 I got my wife for Christmas.. Good info to know.
Take care
Ed
I got a reply from Hornady tech, but the only info I got was Nominal length. I replied back with the snip of the QL data screen. Haven't heard back yet..
I did look thru the #10 manual while at Cabelas recently, they had the 145 ELDX with the same loads as the other 140 gr bullets.. Wonder if I...
Very nice, (y) 257 Rob is a very underrated cartridge. Heck, back in the day it was nearly the only quarter bore going, and JOC spoke very highly of it.. My wife and I each have one and enjoy them immensely..
Take care
Ed
