    velocity fluctuations

    I would weigh the Brass and see if there is a big difference in the weight of the 3 that you referred to. Could be that faster one has a lot less capacity than the other 2.. That could be one explanation. I have found that since I started weighing each powder charge on a balance scale I have...

    The hot 6.5's

    Just wondering which one would have the best barrel life.. I have heard the after 5-600 rds the Weatherby will need to be set back.. No one mentioned the 6.5PRC.. Looks interesting.. I have always wanted a 6.5x55 in a modern action loaded to modern pressures with todays new powders.. I guess I...

    More musings on RL26 and 30-06

    You might take a look at RL16. Very close to H4350.. I am currently working up a load for my son's 06 and it shows good speed and working on seating depth to fine tune. BTW load I am working on is Hornady 178 ELDX. Take care Ed

    257 AI -powder suggestions & Brass

    If you can't find RL26 I would look at Norma MRP. I use it in my 257 Bob with stellar results. 2yrs ago I was looking for RL26 an I couldn't find any, found a 8lber of MRP on clearance at Sportsmans Whse and have been very happy with it. works awesome in my 270 Win also Take care Ed

    Update: 308 I4350 Range Day: interesting twist

    It makes me wonder if you have your seating die set to far down. I have done that before and it will push the shoulder back and cause a bulge. I am with the good Dr as I have never seen compressed loads damage a case in any way, and I have loaded some that had to have a drop tube and be tamped...

    Colorado 2nd and 3rd rifle Cow Elk question.

    If you go to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website and look at the draw statistics that will give you a lot of info on where and what season to apply for. Generally more tags are issued for the 3rd season, and with the fact that most units have less applicants for 3rd the odds are better. If...

    6.5 CM 143 ELDX 10 round load work up with RL16.

    RL16 has worked well in every cartridge that I have tried it in. 7.65 Mauser, 3006, and 257 Bob. Velocity is consistent and accuracy very good. Looks like it doesn't mind the 6.5 Creed either. Take care Ed BTW great shooting..

    270 Win

    I know this is a Nosler forum and I use Nosler bullets in a lot of the rifles I shoot, but I worked up a Honady 145gr ELDX load that shoot sub MOA. I have been to the range with it 3 times and have been able to repeat my results each time, so I think its a keeper. Rifle is a Weathery Vanguard...

    .257 Roberts fun

    My wife has a Ruger #1 B in 257 Bob and with the 115gr BT's 3180 average and .5 MOA at 100 yds using Norma MRP.. She is going to start stretching it out and shooting milk jugs out to 600 yds.. I have one in a Ruger M77 MKII with a 22" pipe, that same load was 3050 and about the same accuracy. I...

    130grain ELDM in a 6.5 creedmoor with Re16

    I have used Reloader 16 in a couple of the cartridges that I have and have been very pleased with the consistency and velocity/pressure. I was almost out and have been looking for an 8lber, but settled on 8,1lbers from Cabelas. A little more cost, but I won't be out of it for a while. Take care Ed
