Has anyone tried RL 16 in the .30-06 with 180 gr. or 165 gr. bullets? How about in the .25-06 with 110 gr. or 115 gr. bullets? I thought I'd give it a try but would appreciate any input from the forum members first.
Thanks!
I've finally realized a lifelong dream and booked an elk hunt in Montana for 2019. My .30-06 shoots the 168 gr. E-Tip and 180 gr. AccuBond very well. I understand that either bullet weight is more than adequate for elk but I am leaning towards the E-Tip due to its higher BC and velocity.

My son recently inherited one of these rifles (and it's a beauty!) and due to the lack of readily available ammo I plan to reload the 40 cartridges that he currently possesses. I have all components but am curious to hear what you has been most successful for any of you. As of right now, I...
I'm seriously considering purchasing a Range Officer in .45 ACP. I read a lot of good things about them but would greatly appreciate any personal experiences.
Thanks
Has anyone worked up a load for the 115 gr. VLDH using the new Enduron powder in .25-06? I contacted Berger directly and as of yet they have not tested IMR 7977. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Well Everyone, to me it's been a profoundly good year. I joined this forum not long ago and to say that it has been a great wealth of information would absolutely be a gross understatement! Thanks to the input from the "old timers" and everyone else I have upgraded my reloading capabilities...
I ordered a box of these for my Browning A-Bolt Stainless Steel Stalker II in .25-06 (22" bbl.). I was wondering if anyone had any tips on loading them or can pass along any performance information, both on the range and in the field. I have a pretty good selection of powders available: IMR...
I recently loaded some .30-06 using a 180 grn. Accubond and 62.0 grns. of RL 22 @ 3.330" O.A.L. as recommended in the Nosler guide. This combination is a compressed load and as a result, my Hornady seating die left a significant circular mark on the bullet. Will this deformation negatively...
As I continue to try to reload my way out of the winter doldrums, I sure would appreciate some additional load data for the Barnes 100 grn. TTSX as well as the Nosler 100 grn. Partition.
Many thanks!
BTW - O.A.L for the Barnes is 3.080" & for the Nosler is 3.250". All use WLR primers and WW or...
Has anyone compared the performance of IMR 7828 vs. IMR 7828 SSC? I noticed that in the QL data I've seen on this forum, IMR 7828 SSC seems to yield higher pressures/velocities. Any preferences?
I finally found and purchased a box of 210 grn. ABLR's. I intend to develop a load for my trusty Remington 700 BDL .30-06 for no other reason than it's February and I'M BORED STIFF. (So far, I've never hunted anything larger than whitetails so this is just a "project".) I'll start with IMR...
Looking for advice for my 300 Win Mag, Browning A-Bolt, 26" barrel. I am using 180 grn. Nosler BT. My powder choices are IMR 4831, BL-C(2) and RL22.
Thanks for your help.
After reading responses to an earlier post of mine, someone suggested that I try out some Nosler brass for my .25-06. Well, apparently this is very popular brass and I couldn't locate any, anywhere. If I resize new .30-06 brass down to .25-06 is there any downside (other than the head-stamp...
I am trying to quickly work up a load for my Browning .25-06 A-Bolt II (22" bbl.). My best load so far has been with the 120 grn. Nosler Partition with 46.0 grns. of IMR4350 @ 3.250 C.O.A.L & WLR primer. This load provides 0.75" groups at 100 yds. I haven't had a lot of luck with RL19 or...
