I used the 200 gr. Corelokt out of a Browning BLR pushed to the same velocity as your test on 6 deer. 3 in one day. One heck of a good combination, never recovered one bullet and all fell in sight. Wish I had kept the early steel framed BLR.

What powder are you using? I am running BLC2 at 24.5 grains. Accurate but I have no idea how fast it's going. One manual says I can go as high as 26.2 grains but in my rifle that seems pretty hot.

If fired factory ammo can be chambered before resizing then something you are doing while sizing is causing the problem. I normally don't try to push the shoulder back any and don't mind using some pressure to get the bolt down. If you ar pushing the shoulder back too much there may be a bulge...

I am lucky to have a 25 yard range in my back yard and I used it to work up a load using 748, Winchester large rifle magnum primers and the 165 gr. B-Tip. I started at 32.0 grs. and got very mild pressures, the primer sticking up a bit as the case didn't push back against the action face, same...

Initial shooting of the barrel began as emptying some brass from Federal blue box factory loads and shooting up some ammo I loaded for a marlin 30-30. The factory loads were 150 grain flat noses and shot pretty good,1 1/4 inches for 3 shots. The old reloads were put together for a rifle with a...

I went out to the lease a couple weekends ago and tried out a theory I've been working on. Sounds funny but you know the animal toys with the squeeker built in them. They drive dogs and cats crazy so I thought why not try to call some coyotes in with one. Our lease has lots of coyotes and a good...

An older Hornady book I have lists 2300 fps using Winchesters 748 and the 170 grain bullet. Shading means I want to reach 2300 fps.

I have Imr 4320, 3031 and 748. I suspect that I can shade book maximums some due to the strength of the G2 Contender action. Just wanting to know the best place to start.

Outstanding, thanks. In the last 5 years I haven't shot at a deer or feral hog farther than 125 yards. I can sight in 2 inches high at 100 yards and be 2 inches or so low at 200. Thanks again for the welcome. I have looked into a lot of posts here before posting and it seems the trols and...

I figure I should be able to get 2300 fps out of the 23 inch barrel using the 165 gr. Ballistic Tips. Just how far can I expect good expansion from this bullet. I doubt that I will ever get a shot as far as 200 yards using this bullet and cartridge combination but it is nice to know your...
