Hi Nate, glad to see you here.. Thank you for your service to our great country. If you probably weren't already aware that 270 is at the top of the heap.. Its my favorite.. Great group of people here who are always willing to share their knowledge and experiences. I have learned a lot. Take...

I know there are a lot of you members that live east of the Mississippi that come out west to hunt big game. I am fortunate enough to live out here (Utah and formerly Colorado) and enjoy the hunting opportunities. But that got me wondering. How do you decide which State and where that you come...

Paul, That is so true.. and its to bad that some cartridges are loaded down so far. In a current production rifle its nice to have Quik Load as a resource so one can see just how much certain cartridges are under loaded. Model 93's and 95's were converted to many different calibers in the past...

Nice job and beautiful Pronghorn, congratulations. (y) On the small game it seems that when a bullet sheds its core its not a big deal.. They are still DRT.. Take care Ed

So if my load of 53 gr of RE16 give an average velocity of 2709, would it be safe to assume that my pressure is around 50k? That is what the chart shows. 53gr definitely fills the case up, but there is a little room for maybe 1gr more. Although I am quite pleased with the results of 53. I...

Paging Dr Mike.. Paging Dr. Mike... :lol: :lol:

I will show my ignorance here and ask... What is a Serengeti chamber?? :) :?: Thanks Ed

I will be taking this rifle and load combo to Colorado in 2 weeks as my back up to my 91 Mauser in 7.65. Hope to get a Muley buck with the 7.65. When we get back I plan on tweaking the 270 and trying to bust milk jugs at 600 and beyond. This bullet and the Nosler ABLR for the "Ol 270" really...

Sam, we have no idea how the scope rail got bent. We bought the rifle used, that's the chance you take with buying used. The scope rings are all Ruger rings, we bought a standard set right after we got the rifle as we didn't get any with it. Then purchased the offset one for the rear to be able...

I plan on contacting Ruger and getting a new scope rail soon..

"I'd guess that's from the 1.4 gr over-max charge (according to Norma) and the 26" barrel often found on the Ruger Number One, B. Hey, if it's shooting well from your rifle, why not eh? I've used a couple of loads that were over book max, that performed well. " Guy. according to the QL data I...

Range day today.. Hornady 145 ELDX stacked on top on 58gr Norma MRP, Norma Brass, CCI 250 mag primers.. Rifle is a Weatherby Vanguard..Velocity average 3060.. no signs of over pressure, but I am sure these are MAX.. If I mess with the seating depth I am sure it will improve, but these are ready...

Went to the range yesterday and today to try and get things wrapped up for my wife Kelli and I's Mule deer hunt second season Colorado. After what we went through yesterday with her rifle. Ruger # 1 B in 257 Roberts, we were able to breathe a collective sigh of relief. A little background on...

DR Mike, If you wouldn't mind running an update with some of my velocity figures so I can get an good pressure figure I would really appreciate that? 7.65 x 53 Belguim mauser 180 gr Sierra Pro Hunter 25in Bbl Brass H2O cap 60.3gr Re 16 53 gr gives me an average of 2709 ES of 24 Accuracy isn't...
