So I’ve been running my Savage 243w with Sierra PH 100gr and 41.0gr of H4350 pushing them right at or slightly under 3k. Great accuracy and mild recoil. I’ve had 10 rounds loaded for some time now with 90gr accubonds with RL17 @42.0 and put them over the chrono today at 3230fps avg. I had good...

PA deer are pretty skittish when they’re pressured but I’ve also seen a buddies son who was about 14 shoot right over the back of a deer and the three standing there didn’t even twitch. But as soon as he racked another round they took off, not sure if it was the noise or they saw movement but...

How much variance are you getting? I know this is grasping at straws but the amount of pressure on the press handle will cause some slight differences. Also just to cover you butt check your press and dies to insure everything is tight and not moving on you.

Some does you can get different seater plugs for VLD type boolits. I know Hornady makes them but not sure who else

Either would work well I’ve had good results with Acubonds and varget, imr4064 and H414.

I worked up to 56gr in my savage rifle that provided 3/4” group at 200yds. I never measured speed but it was plenty to catch deers

Use a chamber measure from Hornady or an empty case and put a lose bullet in it. Get a chamber measurement by measuring the ogive of the bullet then shorten it by .02 and see how that shoots and adjust if needed

Thank you!!! I’m gonna run the Ohaus scale and see if I truly need anything more than a good scoop and trickler to measure out charges but I think I’m going with a good powder throw in the near future. As of Nov I’m taking 3 months off so I’ll have time to tinker

What makes it the end all be all? I’ve never used an electronic scale so I have no reference but ignorance is bliss in my world

No QL but I’m currently using 55g imr4350 with a 130 SGK at 3080fps from my Rem700 22”. I haven’t had luck in other cartridges but in this 270 it’s doing well

Guy, has there been any measurable difference between the measure and hand measuring? With regards to accuracy or even the ES/SD? I’m starting to believe I’m overthinking this just a smidge

I just went on eBay and got a complete with box and instructions Ohaus 505 beam scale. I may be going the route of a Redding br3 powder measure.

Your thread is what made me post this. I didn’t want to hijack it but I’m in the same boat. I’m wanting a quality scale but also not wanting to spend big money. Midway has an RCBS M1000 for $135 right now but I’m not 100% on it. Looking for some advice on trustworthy scales

So a recent thread about scales got me to thinking about replacing mice. It’s just a cheapy Amazon scale I think I paid less than $50 for. It’s a Brifit and measures .01 grain. Seems to work fine but I’m looking into a beam scale or possibly an electronic dispenser. What is your preferences of...

Am I seriously the only yokel weighing by hand still??? Maybe I need to get with the times Anyone have a lead on a metal charge pan without buying a new scale?

I main hunt deer here but would love to get out west for elk. We have elk here but to pull a tag is like watching the grass grow…prolly never gonna see it. Oh but those deer are so tasty!

Just measured the group it was .455” I’d bet without coffee on the shooting table I could get it even smaller but I’m happy as all get out with this result. I’m gonna load up 20 and verify this.

I said the rifle was capable of accuracy I never said I was…🤪

I knew this gun was capable of more accuracy!!!! My seating depth was too short @3.28 oal. I haven’t measured it yet but looking like it would take a deer

Those savage 340’s are made from old machine gun barrels. You have a grocery getter forever and hand me down to the kids’ kids
