    Huge Difference in Powder Charge for 280 w/7828 Why Nosler?

    Yes, I am glad Nosler keeps publishing load data. I would be more glad, gladder, more gladder if they published complete data with pressures listed. Accurate, Ramshot, Hodgdon, Alliant, ADI and Lyman list pressures in their load data. If they can do it without issues legal or otherwise, why...

    Huge Difference in Powder Charge for 280 w/7828 Why Nosler?

    Ah, the old protect me from myself philosophy. Supply me with enough information to be functional, but not enough information to completely educate me. Keeping me in the dark is safer than complete disclosure. Hmmm, where have I heard that before?

    Huge Difference in Powder Charge for 280 w/7828 Why Nosler?

    I guess I am not following your logic here. The max load listed in your manual sufferes from the same variables as the max pressure. Max pressure goes "hand in hand" with max charge weight. Without achieving max pressure you cannot list max charge weight. What is wrong with publishing a max...

    Huge Difference in Powder Charge for 280 w/7828 Why Nosler?

    Well, I have to partially agree with Blacktail on this one. If a company such as Nosler accepts and replies to customer concerns via email then they should at least make an effort. A response lacking it detail, substance and effort just smacks of arrogance or annoyance. Not what the fine...

    load data for 300wsm

    Hey let me try! I have been using QL for 2 days now. I'm just getting the hang of it. Here is what I came up with assuming you are using 2.86 OAL and your brass has a volume of 80.0gr of water. Like I said this is all new to me, wait till POP posts to correct any of my mistakes. Cartridge...

    125gr or 150gr Ballistic Tip

    I guess I should explain a little more about my Mini-30. I purchased it back in the 80's. It was a real shooter right from day one. A few years ago Ruger got a hold of it and removed all of the accuracy. If I was gong to keep it I had to have it fixed. I sent it off to ASI for a new...

    125gr or 150gr Ballistic Tip

    I'm working on my Ruger Mini-30 with 125gr Ballistic tips. I can gets these little buggers to shoot pretty darn good at about 2600fps. I'm also working with 150gr BTs. I haven't nailed a load down yet, but they look promising. So, what do you think is a better choice, 125BT at 2600fps or a...

    Question on FL sizing has me stumped?

    Nine times out of ten hard to chamber properly trimmed FL sized brass has to do with improper die set-up. First make sure you brass is trimmed properly. You set up your die to touch the shell holder? This is usually not enough. The generic way to set up an FL die is to screw it in to...

    Handloading above book max

    I also have a boat load of manuals. I use them all and I use them often. I gather as much data I can so I have some idea of what to expect. I work up in different increments depending on the cartridge capacity. My 300 mags for example will get 1 grain increases for starters and decrease to...

    Rolled Cone Bullets

    I sent Nosler an e-mail only to inform them of the problem and give them the lot number. In their reply they offered to send some replacements. It was not my goal to have these bullets replaced, only to inform. Thanks Nosler. I wonder if these replacements got lost in the mail? This...

    Rolled Cone Bullets

    I had three boxes of Nosler 125gr .308 BT firsts. I found several bullets that were deformed. They look like a rolled up piece of paper shaped into a cone. Or better yet a copper colored "Rolled" ice cream cone with a green tip. The rolled copper actually came up and over the plastic tip on...

    300 WSM loads with 180gr PT or Accubonds

    Nice rig! I think you already have the makings of a great round for your 300WSM. 180 Partitions and Ramshot Hunter. I load for three 300WSM rifles and Hunter has been the best choice for accuracy and velocity in all three. http://www.ramshot.com/powders/

    Software load development

    I have Load-From-a-Disk, but not QL. I think LFD is lacking in many respects. I hardly ever use it. Powder selection for some cartridges is very limited and out dated. What cartridge/bullet/powder combo would you like? I can run LFD and maybe someone else here could run QL so we could compare.

    Can they outlaw your reloading?!?!?!?!?

    Sorry CL, I mean no disrespect, but why ask Nosler for help? The best way to stop this kind of attack on our rights is for each and every shooter, hunter, handloader and outdoors man to "Vote Their Sport". Pay attention, know how your candidates will vote on "Gun Control" issues. If you are...
