My first Sig was a two-tone P226 in 9mm. Then Sig came out with the Elite and I found out you could drop a 357 Sig barrel in a 40 & vice versa. Sold the 9mm and never looked back. The P220 Hunter I have (as all Hunters) has the 5" barrel and is SAO. Its been very accurate but may get a trigger...

I'm a Sig fan boy but haven't dabbled in the P320's. I have a couple P220's, P226's, P229, P239 and a P365 XL. I shot a deer with my 10mm P220 Hunter last year and recently got a P226 X-Five which has been a phenomenal gun.

I'd be a little cautious with a round nose in a bigger centerfire like a 30-06 and above if your pushing the velocity for big game. Using one meant for 30-30 velocities could be...interesting. Personally I'd run some in milk jugs to see how they perform at the velocity and distance you plan on...

I don't think there's any reason to get rid of a good 300 WM for the 300 PRC or 257 Weatherby for a 25 RPM etc unless you have your heart set on running very heavy high BC bullets. The 300 PRC can run 245+ gr bullets, your factory twist 300 WM cannot. So it's honestly just preference on what you...

Well yes, modern cartridge design but the biggest difference is the faster factory twist of the PRC allowing you to run heavier bullets.

Awesome, I was waiting for the conclusion to this! Glad they got it fixed up and shooting right.

Sweet, I haven't used any yet but heard good things. I love ADG & Lapua & if its comparable then that's good company.

I've never used it but it's supposed to be really good brass right?

Just saw that Peterson is now offering 25 RPM brass.

I can't imagine not having a chrono as a handloader. The Garmin Xero was another game changer for me as it's so small and can be setup on the bench next to you. I always found it such a pain to set up my old chrono on a tripod and either just shoot for readings or sit there and fiddle with it so...

When I heard metric I also think European like some have mentioned already, so I won't comment on the American cartridges. While I don't have a ton of experience with it yet, I absolutely love the 6.5x55 and shot my biggest buck ever with it last year. It's also in a Tikka, the stainless Hunter...

Excellent job! That was a far cry from my frustrating turkey season.

Gotta love the Partition, especially a .375 caliber one! Those Solid Bases are looking pretty nice though. It handled that velocity well.

I love Partitions and they will absolutely expand at lower velocities and on smaller critters. I've killed a bunch of deer with them in multiple calibers. The price can be a little high, but if you keep an eye out for blems/factory seconds in the Nosler shop, you can get them for a great price...

Well done! Load?

I've never had an issue with Bergers but haven't killed a ton with them and the ones I have used have been at low velocity. I shot quite a few in a 15" barreled Encore pistol in 260 Rem. The barrel was later rechambered to 6.5-270 JDJ and I used the 140gr VLD Hunting bullets, among others. The...

I've had similar experience with RCBS and some other reloading companies. They've always gone above and beyond!

Yeah but the 257 Roberts has panache!

My 168gr ABLR with 2900 fps MV, hit a nice Alabama buck steeply quartering away. Went through almost the entire length of the deer and found under the skin, 80ish yard shot. I'd have no qualms about upclose shots on deer or pigs. I don't think I'd personally worry about it on bigger critters...

Awesome results and recovery. I love the 168gr ABLR in my 20" barreled 7mm PRC and works awesome on deer. The 142gr version is deadly on deer as well from my 6.5 PRC.
