My son and his buddy recently purchased Howa rifles in 22-250. Interestingly enough, they have short 20" barrels with a 1 in 12" twist rate. They think they have the ultimate truck gun for coyotes. I picked up some 60 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips and wonder if anyone has tried them in a short...

I was hoping someone could run a quickload estimate for a load I encountered while serving as a safety adviser at my club range. According the label on the shooter's ammo box, he was shooting a Remington 700 30-06 with 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips, Winchester cases, Winchester large rifle...

My son recently purchased a Howa Ranchland in 22-250 with the lightweight 20" barrel, 1 in 12" twist. Any load suggestions or data regarding velocity of various loads? I have a bunch of various bullets on hand, as well as a few powders that should (or might) work, including IMR-4064, 8208XBR...

Well, I couldn't resist. Cabela's ad showed the Savage 10T on sale for $539.99, and when I picked mine up tonight in Yakima, it rang up with a $100 mail in rebate form! If I actually receive the rebate, that would be just $439.99 for nice 24" heavy barrel 5R rifled .308 win with Accu-stock...

I have been watching Shooters Pro Shop forever waiting for some 6mm 70 gr Varmageddon Tipped bullets to show up. In my desperation, I even have been looking online for (gasp) retail boxes and don't believe I have ever even seen any in stock anywhere. So what is the deal? Are they (or were...

I was out at my club range the other day and was very surprised when I chronographed some loads in my 26" barrel Remington 700 SPS Varmint .223 Rem. I have chronographed 40 gr bullet handloads before with various bullets, Hornady V-Max, Z-Max, Sierra HP, Nosler Ballistic Tips with 27.5 gr of...

Just was wondering why no 50 gr Varmageddon for the .223? Did Nosler contract to sell all the 50 gr production to ATK for the Federal American Eagle AR 223 LCT ammo (Varmint Tipped?) I was just wondering since the Federal 50 gr Tipped AR 223 bullets sure look a lot like the 55 gr Varmageddon...

:( Finally tried some of the new 6.5 Accubonds in my Howa 6.5x55 and was very disappointed in the performance. I don't know if it is the twist rate or that my rifle won't shoot any kind of boat tail bullet, but my groups were horrible. The frustrating thing is that it will shoot reasonably...

Was curious if anyone has shot varmints with the 52 gr HPBT bullets in their .223? Do they provide explosive expansion? I realize the Ballistic Tips are the best choice, but I got a deal on 1000 of the BTHP bullets, and they are very accurate with 25.0 gr of Ramshot TAC powder and Winchester...

I know that this has been asked before, but I am trying to choose between some options that haven't been discussed. At least, my searches didn't come up with anything. I am wanting to acquire a heavy barrel varmint/target rifle. I am a bang for the buck guy (cheap) and am trying to decide...

If anyone is looking for a good buy on medium slow burning powder, check http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/ , then click on powders, then click on Accurate Arms. Check out their special on Accurate Data 86 extruded powder. Here are my results: .270 WSM 24" barrel Model 70 Super Shadow 38°F...

I used Lee Auto Primes years ago and really liked them for seating primers in my rifle loads. Back then, I used winchester and CCI primers almost exclusively and never had a problem. Since I have gotten back into shooting and reloading the past year and a half, I thought I would pick up a Lee...

Who decides what new products will be developed and marketed by Nosler? I am just curious, because I was reviewing the new products for 2005, and while I can't criticize the choices of introducing the new Accubonds in .25 cal 110 gr; .30 caliber 150 gr and even .338 cal. 180 gr (OK, I guess)...

Okay, I realize that Shooters Pro Shop is in the process of switching to a new web server, but I recall that it was supposed to be up and running around the end of January. Any upddate as to when we can expect it to be back up? Hopefully soon, since my new stock for my Howa 6.5x55 is...

Didn't Nosler used to offer a 100 gr Solid Base for the .270? I have wondered for years why Nosler has chosen to concede the .270 varmint market to its' competitors. Hornady, Sierra and Speer all offer at least 1 varmint class bullet for the .270, yet Nosler is conspicuously absent from the...
