    Factory ammo for 257 wby?

    That a very High velocity round for Whitetails to avoid meat damage I suggest a good Barnes Bullet and Swift A frame with RL22 worked good for me as well as IMR 7828 with Fed 215 primers. Weatherby loaded the 120gr Partition for years in the 257 WBY with Norma MRP powder.

    Best 20 for the money

    Some of those Turkey made SxS are good fitting But always been a fan of older REM 870 wingmasters with the steel parts. I carry an old 870 with a 18.5” cylinder barrel and attached Leupold DPP with Breneke Slugs I keep in the RV for Bear over the years I got the complete REM VR barrels set...

    180g Nosler AB - 30-06 R22

    How often do you guys go above book max in powder?

    Over the years since the early 70’s with the first Nosler No 1 manuals loads have been reduced from the Original loads by Speer in the 60’s manuals. Today I use the MAX load as my starting point most of the time. I don’t even reference manual velocity as they never match realistic loads of the...

    Reloading for the Remington 760 in 270

    Great rifle 760 in 270 win Take a good look at IMR 4064 @ 49.5 with 130 grain Nosler Partition or Speer Grand Slam But those 130gr Power Point will serve you well on deer . I prefer Winchester or Norma brass I have always used RCBS Small base sizer die with Rem 742 and 760 and the Lee Factory...

    Which Nosler bullets are best for hunting wild boars in difficult terrain?

    30-30 Win Grew up chasing bears in Western NC mostly behind plott hounds I My old 1953 Win 94 using WIn 170gr Silvertips were very popular. Still have my Winchester of my youth 50 years later ! Harvested several wild boars with that rifle in the 300 lb range best pork I have ever had.

    Will Nosler ever bond a Partition bullet?

    Actually it’s 75% to 80% retention weight for the Nosler Part. Great bullet design it’s a legend in the hunting world. The Swift A Frame which is another A-frame designed bullet bonds their core for a 90% plus retention weight . Both excellent bullets that I use in .338 WM with the 225gr weight .

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    In my BAR for 40 years I have used RCBS Small Base Sizer Die in 30-06 and 300 WM. IMR 4350 performed excellent ! Mostly used 180 gr Partitions for everything. In my 30-06 my favorite load was 56.0 of IMR 4350 preferred WW or Norma brass. Really like the Lee Factory Crimp Die for applying the crimp.

    10mm to 45 Super in Alaska

    I work my 10mm and 45 Super loads up to the 700 FPE or just under area and stop. Here in Alaska for Grizzly protection I don’t use Hollow Points. It’s deep penetration bullets like Hardcast like RimRock TS bullets heavy bullets. The Glock 20 in 10mm is very popular here in Alaska very few carry...
