    Christmas in July Free Shipping on Nosler

    Every time they run promotions like this, they never have what I need. 😩

    I have never been gutsy enough to load a full tray before seating the bullets.

    Nosler brass

    Never had that with any of my Nosler Premium Brass, had a few bags of factory seconds for my .270 Winchester that wouldn't chamber and had to run them through a body die to bump the shoulder back a tad, after that I learned to full length resize all virgin brass, even Nosler Premium products.

    The ammo case wasn't too tall...I was just having one of my, 'bull in a China shop moments'. 🫣

    Lesson Learned and an Experiment

    While it wasn't me that did this, I had to go into our SAP system and make corrections to our stock, but I recall someone who managed to dump over $500 of Liquid Crystal Polymer resin on the floor in a similar fashion. He was setting up a new run, tuned the dryer on, stabbed the wand into the...

    Why no Nosler load data for 6.8 Western

    If you have access to Vihtavuori powders, they offer eight different recipes with the 165gr ABLR Back in 2022 Steve Gash ran a publication in Shooting Times sharing two different loads for the 6.8 Western and 165gr ABLR.

    I wish that's all it was! 🤣🤣 Summer is just getting started and I'm already tired of sticking to everything I touch, truck seat, windowsill, center counsel, lawn chair, myself, recliner, etc, etc.

    What would you do?

    I noticed that when checking the weight of each charge, several of them were 0.01gr +/- from the target weight. Around here the humidity rarely drops below 50% during the summer months, when the crops start drying out for harvest the humidity gets worse which is caused by what is known as "Corn...

    This is what I've started doing...a turret press would be nice right about now! 🙃

    What would you do?

    Well…I didn’t expect that to happen!! 🤦‍♂️ Decided to try using GRT’s optimized data for my .270 WSM after the results I seen here. As I was wrapping up and putting things away, my clumsy butt(hand) managed to knock the MTM ammo box containing the forty rounds I’d loaded, all over my bench...

    Federal’s Plus Peak 6.5 Creedmoor

    Beings one of the FAQ's Federal has mentioned with this product on their website is to check with the manufacture for compatibility with existing rifles. I'm interested in knowing where the gun makers stand on this.

    6.8western, 7mm rem mag and Ramshot Grand powder load data.

    Something to keep in mind, when the 6,8 Western made its debut Nosler bullets were on the verge of extinction and when a retailer would finally get some in stock there would be restrictions on how many boxes could be purchased.

    QL Request for .270 WSM 140gr Nosler BT Retumbo R-P Case 2.85 OAL

    After a few months of extensive reading and some tutorial videos on YouTube inbetween the gazillion other things life has been throwing at me lately, I picked up on a feature that I didn't know GRT had when I first started using it. This first screenshot is the default data that GRT has with...

    Just looking for some input...anyone here have firsthand experience (good or bad) with either of the following? Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite Stainless CVA Cascade Long Range Hunter Tikka T3x Roughtech I've been on the prowl over the past five years for a 6.5 PRC, two things I'm standing...

    Where is Spring!

    Hopefully this doesn't manifest into the conditions that central and eastern Nebraska experienced in early 2019. We'd had close to two feet of snow on the ground from storms in February then in early March we had some more storms pass through that dumped substantial amounts of rain on the...

    And I don't even have the rifle yet!

    I had my hands on the dies and brass for the 6.5 Creedmoor for over a year before I finally found the rifle I wanted, my .270 WSM was over ten years.

    Nosler vs Hodgdon load data, WAY different

    Well, I just got myself one of them there fancy new croneyographs by Garmin for Christmas and the weather was reasonable that day so I just had to try it out!! 🙃 Now I don't have to worry about putting holes in it when ladder testing. Tested two other loads that same day and the velocities from...

    Nosler vs Hodgdon load data, WAY different

    I ran into something similar a couple weeks ago with my .270 WSM. Both Hodgdon and Lyman manuals list 68gr-71gr of Retumbo with a 140gr projectile, both publications show velocities ranging from the upper 2900's to the lower 3100's, whereas Sierra's most recent publication lists 61gr-67gr. for...

    QL Request for .270 WSM 140gr Nosler BT Retumbo R-P Case 2.85 OAL

    I appreciate your input...I agree with the possibility of a tighter chamber. I cleaned the barrel between the other two loads I tested that day, one with the same bullet/brass combination but using MagPro and Fed 215 primers per Nosler's published data. Because of the great Nosler bullet...
