Hey there Archie! Sorry I didn't see your Post until now. Anyhow, I couldn't find my notes and a I've had several surgery's since then ( along with short term "Anesthesia" memory loss) ha I want to say I started around 75gr. I know R33 is slower than Retumbo and a tad faster then US 869. I had...

Thanks Brother Dan! Finally got my dies in (I had given my Hornady New Dimension Dies to a friend) and the Weaver rings. I think I have a half handful of assorted Barnes TTSX (130-150) to load for Break In. It's just so hot right now to be out shooting, ha.

After further inspection (eyeballing) , there is zero metal fouling in the bore and zero brass on the bolt face. No powder residue anywhere. It appears brand new! Sheboygin.

Picked up the Kimber, doesn't look used at all. It's a Hunter Model, but stainless and has the camo stock. It feels very lively in my hands, but very well put together. I had bought one in .270 several years ago that was a real Lemon. Poor workmanship, etc. Scope base holes were not threaded...

I hear you Uncle Dan! ha I should get my Kimber 84L tomorrow. It has a 24" barrel so looks like I have several powders that might give me 2900! I'm jazzed about that, I don't mind saying it! :)

Thanks so much! You know I like them on the "warm end"! I don't worry about compressed loads since I was "turned on" to the LEE Factory Crimp Die, oh yeah! :) Ha Well, the info gives me data I can always use later, if need be. 58.5/N560 ( I loaded up to 60gr, but not accurate.) gets the old...

Why Thank You Rev! :) I have R17; Hunter. Any guess on what I can get with N560 and RS Magnum?

Thanks Brother Fotis!

I am finagelling another deal on another 30-06! I just tonight found a nice, lightly used Kimber 84L . It has a camoed stock and stainless. I have plenty of other bullets, but I want to get a hot load for the 168 TTSX. My Kimber 270 is just too pretty to hunt much. (It's technically my...

We actually discovered that "with those bullets" (the 180 XBT ) we could use this load in several 300WMs. It was like the 58gr/4350/165 , 30-06 load! But that has been awhile and bullets/powder Lots change. One thing to remember though...an accurate "any bullet" 300 Win Mag is just an...

Back in the late 90's, we used 76gr R22 behind the older Barnes 180 XBT. Pretty zippy load.

I used 73gr/R23/175 LRX for around 3080. I later found RS Magnum at 87gr gave me about a 100fps faster/better accuracy. I know it's not R25, but I thought it may give you a parameter? Good luck chief!

I'm looking for some high pressure loads around 64K for both the 180 and 200gr in the 30-06. Rifle has 24" barrel and is using Winchester brass. I'm interested in VV N560 as one of the powders. I have R17, H4831, H4350, 7828, Magnum, Big Game, Hunter,N165, both 4831s. Let me know what you got...

I took a 340 Wby to Africa back in '98. I was using the older Barnes 210 XBT over 82gr H4350 for 3200fps. Wicked! I want to add it was a Custom 5.5-6# Match Grade Arms with the loudest, but super effective brake. It was so "effective" it shook the guts out of two name brand scopes, and I had to...

Oooooh! I just had the TT put in and it feels suhWeet at 1.5# right now. I love how I can quickly, in the field crank it up to 3# when my old fingers get cold, lol. Way, way better feel than that Kimber trigger, and they ain't half bad!

I had just spoken with my Smith. Douglas sent off the barrel to the company in WY to have it fluted. They will send on over to him when done. Getting close! In meantime, I have been wringing out the Nosler 150 partition in my .270 Kimber 84L Classic. Found a great load of 58.5gr N560 going...

I've loaded for others 300 WSM and in last few years owned a few Kimbers in them. When it was first coming out (late 90's?) I had a Remington blued/synthetic, heavy barrel .308 "Varmint" rifle converted. It even used an in-line magazine, but you had to drop the magazine plate and load it upside...

If you got a recipe for a load, then that particular rifle will probably shoot them well. I have been shooting them since 1989. I agree with "hit or miss". I also agree they would copper foul alot of bores. My 35 Whelen AI shot them well and the 250x, and 200x were both killers, but they both...

Douglas' closest #3 in .338 cal was the "Winchester 70 Sporter" profile. Smith can make it work he said. I also told him to have it "fluted"to save maximum weight. About 3 weeks should be here. I'm keeping busy working up loads in my .270 Kimber. I tentatively have the Speer 150 in Nosler cases...

Nice "Find". I shot/killed Game with that 120 NBT from a 6.5x284 and its a fine one! I've owned a couple 6.5 CMs, .260s and some smaller 6.5 wildcats. Fine killers and very popular out here in Browning Country, the Hells Canyon rifles too! I've only owned "older" Brownings such as the BLR and a...
