    Norma vs Woodleigh vs Nosler in my 30’06 Springfield.

    I had a great load with the 175 Woodleigh in my 7 Mashburn Super. I’ve used them here and there and like them. Glad they are available again.

    35 Whelen new loads

    I haven’t as of yet but if CFE223 is used I’d be okay with using that data. It’s worked the same in 223, 308, and a few others. I’d love to know the real difference in them but I buy LVR quite a lot for the 223, 22 and 6 ARC, 308, 35 REM and maybe some others I’m forgetting. I’d bet a buck it’ll...

    Current Production 280AI Rifles

    I’m all for 8 twist 7mms but unless you’re shooting bullets longer than the 180 ELD and similar you’ll be good with 9’s.

    7x57ai mannlicher-schoenauer

    3100 is pretty similar to H4831. I think you’ll be very slow with that and probably a touch unbalanced with a 130 in that case. I’d look at 7-08 data for what they recommend for 130’s. I’d be in the 4064, 4895, SB6.5, Big Game and similar range to get what you can from that short of a barrel.

    It’s about time you got on board! 😀

    35 Whelen VS 375 Ruger

    Just me, not having shot grizzlies, but I’d vote for the Whelen knowing it’ll likely hold a few more in the magazine, be a bit lighter and the “killing” difference between it and the 375 with good bullets will be nothing to mention. I’ve used the Whelen quite a lot for elk, deer and bear and...

    Congrats on the bull!

    Anyone used these out of a .22-250?

    I used RL15 in a few of my old ones. Pretty similar to 2520 and 4064.

    Winchester Stabal HD

    Seems about like Retumbo for me. I like the stuff. Should work great for the 270 WSM.

    Townsend Whelen’s Best Cartridges List

    I believe you’re spot on. Looking back over my short hunting time here so far, nothing that I have done couldn’t have been with a 270/7 Rem/etc. I use other stuff these days cause that’s what i do but it doesn’t change the outcome of my hunting. And yeah, could easily get by with a 30-06. No...

    RCBS X Die

    Just me, but I don’t have to trim very much. I keep my dies to size about .002” back on the shoulder and upon their initial firing they pretty much stay the same. I do take care to keep expanders lubed so they don’t drag and pull on the neck too much. But then again I don’t sweat my cases being...

    6.5 CM 130gr bullet test, Part 3 - 130 Sierra TGK

    Nice. Looks like it’d tackle deer just fine.

    American reloading.308 term ascent low stock

    Wow. I’ll say that was a steal. Good on you for grabbing them. Are those 150 or 140 TGKs?

    Great write up on the hunting! Well done! Glad you guys are cleaning house with them deer. Those chops look great as well.

    Good luck. We all like pictures.

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    Oh I'd say so. The 180 RN has a cult following up here in the NE for killing deer like a flyswatter. Bet it is quite handy as well!

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    Looks like both of them will do 2500-2600 pretty easily without standing on anything too hard with the 180 Norma's. Cartridge : .30-06 Spring. (SAAMI) Bullet : .308, 180, Norma ORYX 67638 Useable Case Capaci: 61.664 grain H2O = 4.004 cm³ Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch...

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    For sure. AB's went around 2700 from my old mans gun with RL16 and about 50 less with H4350. If I was looking to do it again, I'd probably do just about the same thing. The Oryx's are really cool bullets though, but then most bullets Norma makes are pretty good. What was the QL you were...
