I was lucky enough to find some Speer 250gr round nose over the winter and decided to work up a load for the bait station. Hadn't seen a test of these on here, not surprisingly since they're out of production, and thought it would be a good first for me trying to catch one.

I've got a friend that just picked up a Mark V 338-378 Bee for a bison hunt he's got coming up next fall/winter. He's wanting to run with the 280gr LRX, good choice in my personal opinion, but Barnes isn't listing any load data for that combo for some reason. Bullet too long maybe?
Any thoughts...
So we know that the bonded bullets(Accubond) like a bit more jump normally than the cup and cores. Question is, how far have you actually jumped one?
I ask because I'm in the prelims of working a 180gr Accubond load for a new Vanguard in .300Bee. Box length is going to be right at SAAMI max of...

Hoping some of you fine folks may have a few recommendations on 300 Bee loads from your experience. She's been in the safe for awhile and I finally scored a bunch of primers today so I'm back to working loads.
I've got the following on hand:
180gr. Ballistic Tips and Accubonds...
Gentleman won't sell them to me in AK so my loss is somebody's here gain hopefully.
He has some 250's as well.

After moving to Alaska permanently in 2004 from the East Coast, and borrowing friends rifles for a couple of years, in 2006 I decided it was time for my own. A 30-'06 had always been my want so I set about deciding which one. Settling on a Model 700 XCR I ordered one from a local gun shop...
I was wondering if any/many of you fine gentlemen have used the Bore Coat and Gun Shield products from Dyna Tek. If so your thoughts and experiences with it would be appreciated.
I'm looking at them more for protectants than the reduction of fouling though I hear that is an added benefit...
Does anyone happen to have a link, preferably to a PDF file, for the Nosler target?
I've done a search in the forum but none of the links that have come up seem to be working and there's no more sticky I can find with the new format
Thank you as always.
How often do you fine folks find that the book data matches up pretty close to what you're seeing in the real world with respect to load/fps?
Personally I hardly ever see correlation between the two. Case in point I'm currently working a ladder for a new 338WM. I'm currently 1 grain below max...
May be a bit behind the 8ball here but did they do away with the Nosler Ballistics App? I used to have it but it disappeared off my phone quite a while back and I can't find it anywhere in the Playstore. It was a nice one and am bummed.
If it is truly gone does anyone have any recommendations...
Hey Guys, I'm hoping someone may be able to run a quickload for me please. I'm getting some numbers on the chrono that aren't adding up to the manual and want to stop and do a double check before I continue.
I'm using Accurate 2015 with 225 Partitions and max book is 53gr for 2621 fps. Just...
Hey folks,
I'm looking to pick up some 35 cal. bullets for a load work up on a sweet little .350 Remington Mag. I just picked up.
Looking for 225 or 250 gr. Partitions or A-Frames.
Can pay however or may have something bullets wise to trade. Let me know what you e got and we'll go from...
Long and short I bought some 115gr. Ballistic Tips off of a gentleman on Gunbroker. I just received them today and while they are .257 caliber bullets, they came in a loose pack with no markings and have grey, not blue tips. The ogive measurements on them are averaging . 018"...
Was finally able to blood my .375 H&H last weekend and even better yet it was with a load I had worked up last winter with the help of some of you.
260gr. Accubond over 73.8 grains of RL15. Right about 2750fps if memory serves.
2nd weekend and 2nd evening of it in a new close to home spot I...
Hey Guys,
Was hoping someone could run some numbers for me please. I'm over book and not showing pressure signs but want to see what the numbers might be.
6mm Remington
95gr Ballistic Tip
Hornady Brass
Federal GM210M Primers
2.830" OAL
I'm using IMR4350 at the moment but can sort through...
Anyone ever seen this? 2 different boxes of 25 cal. 115 grain Ballistic Tips that have completely different measurements and look other than weight and greatest diameter. This new box seems to have a much slower taper, thus pushing the ogive forward and giving me a shorter oal by about .026"...
How much variance do you guys see between lots of the same type powder usually?
I ask because I just started a new lot of RL22 for my .257 Roberts. I loaded one round a full grain lighter than I had been on the previous, 47.5 vs. 48.5, to work back up and I could barely get the bolt open and...
Hey guys. As usual I've been lurking and not posting for quite a while. I was hoping someone may be able to run some numbers for me on a new to me rifle I'm working a load up for. It's a sweet little Venezuelan Mauser I picked up for a song and will be my go to for the mountains if I can get a...
There's a .257 Roberts posted for sale locally but the seller, and I, isn't sure who the manufacturer is. Looks almost like something for/from the Venezuelan army. Anyone have any idea? I figured someone around on here would for sure know.
