Depends on who's doing the pulling honestly. Both 7mm pulls from American Reloading. I forgot I had the red tip ones, but I'll never forget those 175 ABLR pulls. They are the thing of nightmares, only good for fire forming with how deformed the bullet is. Hopefully you get the good and not the...

I shoot a savage ultralight in 280 AI. It does great with staball 6.5 and the 145 LRX. Only other bullet I've shot in it is the 168 classic hunter, which shot well but slow, it was just to practice with. My load ended up being 57gr with the LRX for 2970. It's not the fastest, but I plan on...

Bringing it back and adding my 280 AI ultralight. I bought a blem stock for 299 knowing it would need a touch of work to finish. It mainly had epoxy that had to get scratched off, but there was one crack near the butt stock. Got the verification that it was good to go, so I slapped a little bit...

Used this set up for a moose years ago. I believe it was IMR4831 that we used under the 200 Accubond, stayed under the hide of a decent cow moose at a touch over 200 yards. Good expansion and dead moose. I prefer the 180 AB now for large animals and generally a 150-165gr monos for deer. I...

Two deer and a turkey this year. Deer were shot at 255 and 310 yards with my 7mm RM and a 143 hammer. Turkey was my first crossbow kill.

I hit 3200 and change with the 150gr Partitions and Staball but it just wouldn't group for me. I have never gotten the 150gr Partitions to group to be honest, in 30-06 or 308. I couldn't find any 150gr lead free bullets when I was trying it out, just decided to stick with 180gr Accubonds.

I stopped into the local gun/small engine repair shop looking for primers a few days ago and happened to notice an older red pad M77 in the rack that looked pretty clean. I glanced at the tag and it looked like it said 495, but I never picked it up or looked too hard, I was struggling to stay on...

I've used the 180 in the much smaller Federal, works great on deer, so more power would only be more better right?

What is the rifle the brass is going into? My Christensen requires new brass to go through a small base die to function.

Before you creep up in powder, try a few once fired rather than new. You may just need to fire form your new brass. Or you may find out you need to add or subtract more powder once it's formed.

RL17 and the 225gr go together very well. Anywhere from 57-63gr and you'll love what you see. If you step down to 200gr class, look into H380, I've gotten my top speeds from those two powders.

I don't think the pressure difference will be enough to say one way or another to be totally honest. I think I understand the question, but to clarify, what are you turning your necks to for thickness? What is the application for the rifle? I turn a lot of my necks, but not for tight necked...

I always think the grey tips are Ballistic Tips destined for Lubalox coating that never gets coating. Either they run a bigger batch then needed or they are just never sent out as they get the machines dialed in. Could be wrong, but most silver tips I have received have a corresponding CT...

Try AR Comp with a 69gr TMK. I had very good luck with a 1-8" Ruger American around 31-31.5gr

I'd take a good look at H4831, not the SC version. I use it on my 7mm Rem Mag and 150gr Sciroccos. It fills the case very well and dodges big temp changes just as well. I'm pushing them at 3100 fps with a 26" tube, I'm sure you could back it off a hair and hit your target goal easily. I'd start...

Do you know the twist rate? Factory rifle? If so, which one? Purpose for the rifle? I will always have a 7mm RM in my hunting rotation and have tried many different combos for hunting. I have more confidence in the rifle then i do myself.

I run three 200gr HotCor with 51.5gr of 2000MR in my 338 Fed. I'm not sure you'd get much more in the case then that. Very accurate load, probably going to take it out opening day Saturday to see if I can't bowl over a WT. I'm right around Alliant's velocity claim. Edit: So I went out this...

I would try both at 300 yards to see which preformed better. Let the targets finalize your load. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I know this is a few weeks old but don't forget with a savage 223 they install a different bolt baffle to act as a stop so you have a shorter throw. Going to anything over about 2.350" OAL will mean getting a new bolt baffle without the stop. There is no difference between long and short action...

I shoot a Ruger M77 338 federal with hand loads only. I've taken my biggest whitetail to date with it and the 180gr Accubond at about 2725fps. I took a quartering towards shot, snuck it behind the front shoulder and got the bullet back under the hide in front of the rear ham. Barely any meat...
