Thanks DrMike. I posted my 2nd post before your post showed up on my computer. The quick load is less than the Hodgdon data and as I remember the Swift book data also. Thank you for taking the time to do this for me.

have the Swift reloading manual and looked at the Hodgdon website. I was just wondering what Quick load had to show

I used some book data for the 338Fed and 210gr Sirocco Swift bullets. It was Starline brass, win mag primers and 45.5grs of Win 748 for 2441FPS and SD 4 in my short barrel rifle. I also tested a 200gr Nosler BT bullet with same brass/primer and 50.5grs of Win 748 for 2592FPS and SD 1. OAL for...

I have the 6.5X55(same FPS as the 260) and like the 120gr Swift A-Frame or 130gr Swift Sirocco bullets. The 125gr PAR is also a good choice. I also shoot 100gr Barnes TTSX when required. In my 264win mag I like the same bullets or the 140gr Swift A-Frame or Nosler PAR. In my 6.5X300W I shoot...

What is once fired mixed headstamp brass selling for. I have the following: 9mm Luger 40S&W 38sp 10mm 223/5.56 270win 7mmRem mg Thanks for any help

I have a 257R pistol and a rifle. The pistol is a 16" Encore and the rifle is a Ruger Tang safety M77 with a Douglas Premium SS barrel, Timney trigger and B&C Stock. My daughter laid claim to it when she was about 9 years old. I nee to find another one for me again. I also have a 25-06 Rugger...

at that price I will do without

I have 2 of them ---Both on Weatherby rifles. No problems and they have been shot a lot

use hunting bullets for hunting. Show the animal you are wanting to kill some respect

too bad they are no longer making stocks for the tang safety Ruger M77 rifles

While I use RL22 now I have used IMR4831 and it worked well. It was also good in my 25-06

you are making me feel really old. I have primers I bought in the 1960's and they still work just fine.

you need to post a price

how much do you spend on deer hunting--gas/tags/rifle and scope/cost of transportation/camping stuff(or RV) and other extensives?? I bet a lot more than the cost of those bullets or even loaded ammo. Then consider the bullet is the only thing that contacts the animal and determines if you are...

I use them for plinking. I have bullets I like better for hunting. Had a couple of bad experiences with the BT hunting with them on deer and pronghorns. Never any trouble with Nosler PAR, Barnes TTSX or LRX and the Swift bullets

I have one for my 7.5" Ruger 44mag and like it. I have used it for hunting

Yes it is a T/C Encore pistol with a 15" barrel. I had it drilled for the rifle forearm and can also use a Harris Bipod on it. It has the T/C muzzle brake on it. That make a total length of 16 and 1/8" for the barrel. It shoots well. I have barrels for it in 223/257R(a sweet combo)/308win and...

I was speaking of all the different LRX bullets. I would never use a Barnes bullet that was more than 150gr in a 308win. I prefer the 130gr TTSX

And the LRX bullets open at 1600FPS. The bullets for the 30-30 open up sooner yet said Barnes as I remember. I have the 30-30 bullets for my 308 pistol and think they will do well.

I use new brass for all my hunting ammo. As far as different brass---I was getting very small groups with my 338win mag. Then I mixed Nosler, Win and Hornady brass and the groups where much bigger. Once I separated the brass by maker the groups got back to being very small. BUT in different...
