This is the deer my daughter shot, It measured 241 and 7/8". She shot it with a tang safety Ruger M77 in 257R using a 120gr Swift A-Frame(sorry Nosler). She is having it mounted with a shoulder mount.
You got your moneys worth out of the. Toss all of them and get new brass to work with. It is not worth the chance of damage to your firearm or yourself. My 2 cents worth .
sorry but my load is a 225gr Swift A-frame pushed by 71grs of IMR4350 and a Fed 215 primer. I> have taken quite a number of animals in Africa and the USA with it.
When did Nosler make a 130gr PAR 6.5mm bullet? I have 125gr PAR that I have used in my 264win mag and as I remember in my 6.5X55. I do not remember a 130gr PAR bullet.
That Leupold 3.5X10 scope will do just fine for you. That is what I use on most of my hunting rifles and they have duplex reticles. The longest range I have taken game is 500 yards except one pronghorn at 600+---but that was luck mostly and it was very windy.
I have 4.5X14X40 duplex reticle...
I have not bought any powder in a long time.
I find I have an unopened 8 pound jug of IMR4898 extra.
Has anyone bought any lately?? What is a fair price for it if I sell it local??
We heated our home with wood in a very good wood stone that had an ash pan and auto draft and fan controls. I can no longer do so due to regulations and my disabilities. I used mostly Almond wood and most of it was stump wood that I split with a large, fast splitter powered by a Wisconsin V-4...
It was true for 257W, 338win mag, and a couple of others. I just started separating my brass after that and did no more "testing". Knowing tis I was able to get 2 loads with the 257W to shoot to the same POI (within less than a inch at 100 yards) using 100gr TTSX and 120gr Swift A-Frame bullets...
