45 Super 250gr (.452) Hornady XTP @ 1210fps: This load penetrated 22.5" in calibrated gel and made one of the longest permanent cavities I've seen from a handgun: 1"+ wide by 11" long! This is the 1st of two 14" long Blocks. Bullet settled down to caliber size hole for the remaining 8.5" in the...

Don’t recommend 230 GD for hunting game Only recommend Hornady 250gr XTP or Hornady 240 MAG XTP for deer size game and hog / black bear. These bullets are designed for 45 Colt / 454 velocity levels which are closer to your 45 Super levels in velocity and will give better penetration and better...

I handload the 45 ACP + P at lower 45 Super levels. For the width of the largest interior grizzly I will have no problem with enough penetration with the correct bullets. I have had excellent results with RimRock TS 250gr RNFN . Yes I like the bigger hole especially on bears.

338-06 338 Win mag 340 WBY 338 RUM 338 Lapua Carried the 338 Win Mag the most in Alaska with 225gr Accubonds and Part. My 338 RUM in REM 700 XCR great carry gun. My 338 Lapua stand gun only for Tripod at 14lbs for moose stand hunting very accurate. 338-06 loved the round especially with...

Switched to Warne Mountain Tech rings and Mountain Tech Rail several years ago from the Leupold Rings and Dovetail mounts !

In the Lapua I see they recommend 97.0 of Grand Powder with 250’s for just over 3000 fps. Noticed with LRT with 250’s were over 3100 fps…I know this is just published data and not real world . My goal is just 3000 fps in either RUM or Lapua with 250’s.

I see that on burn chart ! Up here in Interior I don’t see any H1000 or Retumbo on the shelves but RamShot LRT and Grand are. I bought a pound of Grand to try in the RUM and Lapua with the 250’s.

Anyone tried 338 RUM with Grand Powder with 250’s either the Accubond or LRX ?

Reloader 22 for 200gr AB yes But for 180’s suggest IMR 4350 / Reloader 19 / Hunter 30-06

Really like the display on the screen …..very cool for old eyes !

Yes I also went to a RCBS Chargemaster when they were first introduced in 2007 still have my Chargemaster along with my RCBS 10-10 scale as backup or small batches of reloading .

Used Hornady brass in Lapua once never again ! Can not stand Lapua loads went to Lapua Brass for my 338 Lapua and never looked back .

RCBS 10-10 is very accurate you can fine tune the BB weights under the pan if needed . 50 years of reloading with 10-10 is the best !

Put the Bronze Mesa Lapua in the CA MPR Bronze chassis topped it with ZEISS V4 4x16 x44mm. Kinda like to try some 300 gr Nosler Accubond LR in my stability Calculator their 3.66 out 4.00 very good.

I prefer Winchester or Norma Brass Nosler brass they contract it out to be made. Different calibers are made by different manufacturers.

Need to update the burn rate chart !

Suggest Winchester or Norma brass

I went from a 44 Mag to the Glock 20 about 13 years ago for Bear Protection in Alaska and about 3 years ago purchased a G21 Gen 4 and set it up to handle 45 ACP +P to lower level 45 Super. Liked it so much it’s my primary sidearm in Bear Country with 22 spring. 45 Super Lite Load 8.0 of...

Lapua brass in 223 waste of money suggest LC brass for 5.56 and CCI 41

Grand very close to H1000 in burn rate ! In 270 Win would it outperform H4831 or Reloader 22
