200gr ABLR or 180 ABLR the 190gr seems pretty slow on the data and if I am gonna go slower I'd rather shoot a 200gr bullet. The 210 ABLR I dont think I could get to work but maybe?

If that is your initial stretch the long probably wouldnt work with out sizing. I think the long is 2.117-2.118 with hornady comparitor shoulder. So the standard is probably good for you.

My case shoulder measured with comparator only grows .001 after fired with the Peterson long out of the box vs. factory norma once fired shoulder growing .016. I dont have means to anneal yet and sounded good.

That explains it. I did not size the first batch as they recommend and it was already sized at my rifles chamber anyhow. After first fire and sizing it was still like butter. Interesting! I ordered another batch yesterday seems like good stuff. The only thing I don't like is the burr on the neck...

I have the Athlon but wish I had the Garmin. Ive got some strange readings in the rain and towards evening at times. Also the date and times had a bug for about a month Athlon said it was caused by the update and first he had heard of this happening to anybody but was good customer service...

Range report shot 4 groups this past week deviation and 5 shot groups still not where I want to be with the H1000 but I really like this peterson long brass and think I will shoot the exact same load again at 73g. Not sure why but bullets seat so easy and I suspect the peterson brass is a bit...

I hope you right, was hoping to get out this morning but had family stuff going today. Thanks man every bit of info helps.

Thursday eve range report, 4 groups all with H1000. Loaded two 5 shot groups with virgin Peterson Long Brass and CCI 250 primers each of those two groups had a large flyer but deviation better and 4 of 5 looking pretty ok. I will be going with the CCI 250 primer from here out. Not sure the...

Thanks I do have some N560 and will try that. I will be hunting at ranges out as far as the bullet and equipment will take me, lots of clear cuts and longer shots are available these days in my neck of the woods. Not in competition and just really enjoy getting to know my rifles, practice my...

I forgot. I have not got a deer or elk in 2yrs.

I use this as well, I have never cleaned my dies but only been loading 6 or 7months. I guess I probably need to clean as I dented some case last week when I plugged up. What do folks clean the dies with? I learned the hard way not to put it in the sonic cleaner and destroyed a 7rem die last...

First group I loaded shot very well 71.7g h1000 but had a pretty bad deviation. Next group 72 not as good better deviation but still too slow and deviation. Actually had slower speed at the higher powder charge. I wonder if I started with too much powder to start?

Thanks Dan, good info. I want to hear how the Grand works for you with CX.

Only loaded 4 shots this day with this load but my development ended here as its the best group Ive ever shot at 100yards with big game calibers. Since have shot no worse than .9 moa 5shot groups at 100. Here is a slow motion 400 yard shot. On to other projects now been busy with work family and...

Anybody running the ABLR 150 out of the 7rem? I currently have a load developed with 69g 7828sc WLRM primer -.065 off in my Xbolt lr Hunter 2015 model 9.5 twist 26 in barrel. The load shoots well but was develped in warmer weather with average speed 3140fps (70 degree average weather then) and...

That is a great picture!

Almost there with the A4350 powder. Moved on to testing H4350 and I liked the speed but need a little work. Rifle shoots great thanks for the imput guys. Jimbires your write up was awsome on the stock bed and will always refer back to it.

Was unable to get to the Norma Brass today but did shoot the last of the Hornady brass I had worked up prior only 2 groups today. 5 shot groups, had 5th shot get me on one group that was looking good. Had a decent group going on bottom left corner and started raining pretty hard and pulled it a...

Just thought Id give an update on the progress. Shot the rifle yesterday and stock was solid. Did some fire forming with Norma Whitetail factory ammo and it shot it pretty good barrel got pretty hot and still held 1.5 moa at 100y over 20rds of the factory stuff. I did shoot 1st rounds of...

Last time out tried, the hunter powder and was a total bust and got busy on another little project with my Abolt to be continued, but not with hunter powder as I was close to where I want to be with the H4350.
