Do believe that Nosler would get a deer's attention. Would like to see how it behaves in a Whelen doing about 2500-2600fps. Haven't shot many 200gr RN in my Whelen mostly in the 35 Rem.
Probably not unless you're loading for competition. For plinking everyday range time shouldn't be a factor. Check the loads over a conagraph as you shoot from a rest and watch for any group size change per shot. Might be interesting.
One of our range members donated a lead sled said he didn't use it anymore. I've only seen it used once when I have been to the range. Sets lonely in the shooting shack.
You won't have any problem of the AB not expanding. My grandson used them on a bobcat at about 175 yds and it opened up quite nicely. Those BTs gets a deer's attention right now also. Good in a 308 Win for sure.
When younger I only had one deer rifle so that's what I used. First started out with a 30-06. Would trade for a different caliber just to try it out. Later on was ble to acquire more rifles different calibers. Now I usually pick three before season, sight in and rotate during the seasons. Where...
Lots of information here. Got some 139,140,150gr bullets to try on hand along with IMR & H 4831, RL19. Saw where Hornady lists Win SB6.5 in their data. Plenty to start with. Thanks.
That's a pretty snazzy looking rifle. Hope it does well for you. 46grs of Varget or there abouts usually gives good groups in the 308 with 150gr bullets.
I am the new owner of a 280 Rem. Never owned one before. Have owned 7mm RM and do own 7mm08. Haven't checked for past load data on here just thought I would ask. Will be used for hunting whitetails here in WV and banging some plates at the range occasionally. So, what do you guys like to load...
I had read of this happening. I had 2lbs of 4451 and never had any issues with it before using it all up. Accuracy and velocity were good. The copper reduction claim I didn't see much if any effect.
With a 1-9 twist what have you found to be the heaviest and or longest bullet to stabilize in this twist? Traded up a 223 with this twist and the heaviest I have on hand and tried is the Sierra 69gr Match King which went straight thru the target no keyhole. Just curious what others have found...
My first deer rifle was a Rem 760 30-06 that I bought in high school working summers saving some money. It was the first rifle that I started reloading for. I traded it off only because my unlearned self-thought a bolt action was what was needed. Over the years I have owned different ones. My...
