Dr Mike, as always you are on the ball. I would think that the TTSX with its "bands" might develop a little less pressure with powder charge due to less contact area than the original "x" bullets referenced. Thanks Jimbeaux

Would one of our erstwhile members please run a QL for 35 Whelen, Hornady cases, 180 gr Barnes TTSX, cci 200, IMR 4064, 24" barrel? Also, does anyone have experience with the 180 gr TTSX for deer in 35 Whelen and how did it perform? TIA Jimbeaux

I load for a couple of close friends. But they must loan me their rifle so I can work up the loads, Not really interested in doing it for "just anybody".

Dr Vette, I have a good supply of RL 25 so did not consider RL 26, but I would think it work work about the same. The Weatherby Factory 160 AB's shot about 1" in my rifle and I have been able to slightly better that with my handloads. MY VVN160, 67.0 gr, 3100 fps load shoots about 3/4 inch...

Scotty, I just finished firing my test loads and was again disappointed with the ABLR's. Again I was trying to duplicate loads listed in the Nosler manual as "most accurate" and shooting them thru a Weatherby 7mm Wea Mag Accumark. Here is what I shot: 1 - 76.0 gr Retumbo, 150 gr ABLR, 3.360"...

Scotty, rifle has a Weatherby chamber. It was a Mark V originally that I sent back to Weatherby for a conversion to Accumark after the accuracy of my original barrel fell off to below what I was happy with. I went ahead and loaded the 168 gr ABLR with 74 and 76 gr Retumbo and will report back...

Scotty, I have been loading 160 gr Accubonds with VVN 160 getting about 3/4 in groups and 3100 fps. I primarily hunt white tailed deer and have been satisfied with this load, able to ring steel targets out to 600 yds with relative ease. Just on a whim , since I had ordered some 150 gr and 168...

De reain, mon ami.

According to Weatherby website it is a 1-10 twist. Do you think I will have issues with 168 gr LRAB? Jimbeaux

Fotis, I am shooting a Mark V Accumark. Not sure what the twist is. Jimbeaux

as always Dr. Mike, thanks for your quick reply. Jimbeaux

Could one of our esteemed members please run a composite QL for 7mm Weatherby mag, 168 gr Nosler ABLR, Weatherby cases, 26" barrel. Thanks Jimbeaux

Cleveland, any velocity info with your loads? Jimbeaux

As usual Dr Mike, Thanks for your quick response. Jimbeaux

Would someone run a 6.5 Creedmoor, 140 gr Nosler CC, RL 16, Hornady brass, 24" barrel QL? Thanks Jimbeaux

ill have to give this a try. thanks

Dwh, I tried at .020" off lands and it was not good. That was the 2.856" load referenced. You think I should try one at .010" off the lands? Jimbeaux

Thanks. In Louisiana I am not at all worried about cold weather changes and try to work up my loads in the summer heat of 80-100 deg. Right now it is 80-90 deg each day. Today I reshot my 45.0 gr load at 2.826" and got .860" group, basically the same as the .740" group I got earlier. However...

Nimrod ans Scotty, Thanks for the input. I am at 190 ft elevation. Jimbeaux
