I have been wondering what the general consensus on here is about the lowly .308 Winchester? I have noticed that in the general gun writers opinions the .308 is a capable cartridge, but it is outdone by the .30-06, and the .30 Magnums! I’m the first one to realize that the .30-06 will add...

Well, after owning this rifle for a couple of years now, I finally got her fully dressed. I love the heft of this rifle, and the 375 bore. This one will certainly put a thumping on any animal in the world. I’m attaching photos for all to see. Now, all I need to do is scrounge up some ammo or...

Howdy all! I wanted to let everyone know that I recently went to the range to sight in my new to me Taurus 1911. It comes in the tried and true .45 ACP. After figuring out where it was hitting, I decided to give it the run through and see how accurate it was. Let me tell you, anyone who poo...

Good day all! I recently acquired a brand new Weatherby Vanguard S2 synthetic stocked rifle in .308 Winchester, with a 24 inch barrel. I know that Weatherby states that it will shoot MOA or better, and I believe it because of having other Weatherby rifles that were superbly accurate with premium...

I have noticed recently that the sporting goods stores here don’t offer the ammo anything like they used to. Is it strictly a hand loader cartridge now?

I’m BACK everyone! Recovered my username

Hey! Everyone! I just recovered my old username! I’m BACK! Yay!

I know this is beating a dead horse sort of…. Is there anyway possible to run 35 Whelen QL loads at 62k psi, please? 225 gr AB, and 250 gr NP please. 24 inch barrel, 1-14 twist. Thank you in advance ! Hawk

Hey Y’all!! I wanted to show you guys my Savage 110 .35 Whelen project is almost done. I just have to inlet the stock just a tad more, and the magnum contour barrel will fit perfectly in the stock!! Here is a pic of it so far!! Hawk

Hello All! I finally pulled the trigger on getting me a .375 Ruger. I did my homework before buying a Mossberg Patriot Stainless Synthetic with a 22 inch barrel. The majority of reading people’s actual reviews, and reading a few articles about the rifle have been quite positive. I don’t have a...

Hey everyone! I’m trying to get some info from y’all on real world velocities for the .270 Win! There’s a guy on another site that always likes to argue about real world velocities, instead of book load ones. He’s always touting his .308 Win with a 24 inch barrel, and comparing 130 gr bullets of...

I’m thinking about getting a 6.5PRC to use as a light rifle, compared to my .270 Win. Anyone have experience with using it on big game? Is it decent to hand load? Please let me know. Hawk

Does anyone have any load data for the .308 win with StaBall 6.5 or RL-26 powders? I found some old QL data for other .308 Win loads, but they don’t have RL-26, or StaBall 6.5 info. I hope someone has some loads they’ve done with either. Hawk

I am asking the esteemed gentlemen, and gentlewomen about what their one bullet, one powder that they would use for their .308 Winchester? I will use this load for deer, up to elk, and black bear, and possibly moose. Distances will be from 0 to possibly 450 yds, max 500 yds. I am ready for...

Hey DrMike! I know it’s probably been done a hundred times before, but can I please get QL data for .308 Winchester? Range of bullets 125 to 180 gr. 22 inch barrel, 1 in 10 inch twist. Thank you way in advance!! Hawk

Hey DrMike! Would it be possible to run some 9.3x62 loads at 62kpsi? With the same parameters as before, 22 inch barrel, 1 in 14 inch twist? Any bullet weights running low to high? Like 232 up to 300 gr? Thank you in advance!! I surely appreciate you! Hawk

Hello all! I’ve been doing some homework into the whole .375 H&H Mag vs 9.3x62mm business. Now, what I have to say on the matter is this…. The .375 H&H has a decided advantage over the the 9.3x62mm only when the 9.3x62 is loaded to original pressures. Now, with that being said, once you start...

Hey DrMike! It’s me, yet again. I was wondering if you could give me QL loads for the .35 Whelen, first set at 60k psi, 24 inch barrel, 1 in 14 inch twist? With bullet weights running 200 to 250 grs, please? Second set, can you run the pressures at 64k psi? Thank you so very much in advance...

Howdy all! Seeing as I’m having a ton of problems with my last .35 Whelen project, I’ve decided on going with a different .35 Whelen project, since the other one is on hold until I can figure something out. The new project involves a large ring banner Mauser action, coupled with a Green...

Hey Dr.Mike! I was wondering if you could whittle up some QL Data for the 9.3x62mm, bullet weight range 232 grs to 300 grs., with a 22 inch barrel, 1 in 14 inch twist. If at all possible, run the loads at 60k psi first, and run second loads at 64k psi, please? Thank you in advance! Hawk
