    Alliant powder supplies in the US?

    I've been seeing it in stock quite often lately at the online retailers but it goes out of stock very fast. I just picked up a 5 lb jug of RL-22 and two 1lb jugs of RL-15. My friend attempted to make a purchase if same less than 30 min later and they were both sold out.

    .308 Winchester 125 grain Accubond - Test

    The AB was designed to duplicate the 65% weight retention of the Partition using a bonding process instead of the more expensive partition design. It should expand violently early after penetration and then retain enough mass to penetrate deep. From my experience, it does this superbly. Your...

    Closing in on 140 gr. AB in 270 Win.

    I've shot the 140gr AB over 58.0gr of H-4831 for some time now and have been extremely satisfied with the accuracy of this load. Velocity has been mid-2800's thru several 1lb jugs if powder from different lots. Accuracy was always consistent though. I've been tossing the idea around to look...

    Bedding the CDL's

    Very nice work. Hopefully you'll see an improvement, may be hard to notice in your quarterbore though. Wish I could bed that neat. Looks like money well spent!

    280 REM 160gr Gameking

    Nice to see your persistence seems to have worked out! I would try to repeat your results here and then keep tweaking the OAL as you plan. You obviously enjoy the challenge so you may as well finiash the job. I think the ability to handle the 160 & 175gr bullets makes the 280Rem more versatile...

    Rusted Barrel

    Thanks for the warning Charlie. I'll do my best to get it back to serviceable condition before we venture on the idea of shooting it again.

    Rusted Barrel

    I've been soaking in Kroil. Going to brush the heck out of it until it I get the scale rust out. Then determine condition of lands and bore. Push some bore paste thru to try and smooth it out. If it looks too ugly after 3-4 hrs of brush work, I'll give up on it. I've seen some barrels with...

    Rusted Barrel

    What I was thinking. I'm going to look thru the 5.56 brass he provided and see if I can gain any info from the head stamps. Will increased coefficient of friction drive pressure in this barrel higher than normal?

    Rusted Barrel

    I was just prepping brass for a friend's M70 Fwt in .223Rem. I went to clean the rifle and determine max OAL for 55gr NBTs when I had difficulty pushing the first wet patch through. Rutro. I finally got a brush through it and it's ugly. I spent a good hour working a CLP-soaked brush through...

    280 REM 160gr Gameking

    Looking good! Those SGKs sure do shoot good. I've found that their heavy for caliber options work good on game too. Hope it repeats for ya!

    Roger that. Wasn't too hard to throw me off course when Salmonchaser posted his situation. :?

    Remington Rifle Recall!!!

    I agree. The previous witch hunt concerning the Walker triggers was uncalled for. They're eliminating any liabilities now, right thing to do. They should have done the same back in the day when the first inkling of doubt started to develop. I don't own any of the newer triggers and have only...

    243 90 grain AB 3075FPS

    So if you were using your 3072fps load with these ABs, you're looking at your terminal performance @ 300-325 yds. Very nice. Never saw a deer in any of my years that could walk away from that! Perfect bullet for that cartridge in my eyes.

    Hodgdon Youth Loads

    There's no reason why any of those three won't work for her. Nice loading. Great to see Brandon pop those jugs with ease. Looks like he's received some good coaching to augment his talent.

    7mm 08 info

    I've had great results with 39-40.5gr of Varget using 139gr Interlocks & SSTs and 140gr BTs in two 7mm-08s.

    New build ideas

    I would keep Grandpa's .270Win a .270Win. There are no flies on a .270!

    pressure signs.

    I would stop messing with it and load up a bunch of what already works. Surely there's another rifle you own that's begging for attention or better yet, another rifle/cartridge that needs to come into your stable. :wink:

    Rifle for Dylann

    My nephew's Marlin XS-7 in 7mm-08 Youth model is very impressive. We're looking for a full-size stock for it now. I think the 7mm-08 is a great round for your intentions. That 120gr BT can be loaded down to a very comfortable level and it will still take those puny Virginia and SC WTs with aplomb.

    Camera Land

    I am very tempted to purchase this scope as I like a high powered scope when doing load development work. I had an old Weaver T-24 which was lifted at a gun range about 10 yrs ago. :cry: I paid hardly nothing for it but it's loss still hurts.

    Scored on a Featherweight Deluxe 270...

    I load for four .270win's and they all shoot sub-MOA with 58.5-59.5gr H4831 and the 130gr BT & SGK. I haven't realized the same accuracy with IMR-4350 but it's always been close enough where if that was all I had, I would be satisfied. Good luck with your load development and I hope your...
