Most sensible thing I've heard in a long time regarding the current ridiculousness.

How/where were the factory firsts used in this configuration and 152 gr?

SW was the only big box store I'd enter for reloading supplies, etc. Not hopeful given this news.

This ^^^^^!!!!!!!

Anybody try it for heavies in 280ai?

My 35 WAI is set up with 225 AB over Varget.

Resurrecting this thread in the hope that someone tried the 175's in a 280ai. Helping a friend with a 1:10 280 Rem M70 Super Grade who Ackley'ized it. Per stability calculators like JBM, the 175 Woodleigh should work. He had wanted to go up to 168/175 bullets, but the relatively slow twist is...

After doing some fairly serious load development across several powders and the 180 AB last year, I chose Re-17 with Re-22 coming in a close second.

Magnums, PRCs.....one of my favorites.

Agreed. Their press release mainly talks about operational efficiencies they'll be able to wring out of it. Nothing about why it's a good deal for consumers. It's not. Last time I bought powder, Accurate was 15%-30% cheaper than comparable Alliant/IMR/Hodgdon products--how long do you think...

My standard go-to is 140 SPH over Varget.

With Hodgdon buying AA/Ramshot, things are unlikely to get better price-wise. They have an absolute hammerlock now on all the brand names except for Alliant and Norma. I would suspect this isn't also just a consumer price issue, meaning that Hodgdon may police their distributors to ensure...

I like Hodgdon but prices are going up. They control too much of distribution for it not to. Compare powder prices relative to inflation and it ain't all because of demand; it's market power and consolidation.

No one likes gougers, but I think they're a leading indicator of what's to come. Many components' manufacturers are running around the clock. They're not stupid (e.g., do you think Sierra's new owners want to make hay while the sun shines?), so prices will creep up. And, once they do, they're...

Huh, what? Those prices haven't been seen for probably 15 years.

Great group. Great chambering. I have a 7-08 in a M70 Fwt and guys at deer camp always want to fondle it. Lightweight, points well, very little recoil, accurate and a killer. They all want 7-08's now.

I like a 405 cast bullet in my 1895 Guide Gun 18.5" and almost exclusively use Re-7.

To paraphrase JO'C: "...if your '06 doesn't shoot 165's with 4350, you need an exorcist, not a gunsmith." He meant IMR 4350 btw.

Not a Winny, but shot a nice muley last year with my M70 '06 using 180 NAB over Re-17. Accurate load.

In the many years I've loaded for rifles, I've always either followed the manuals exactly or relied upon ".015 to .020 off the lands." I'm questioning that now and not because I'm using monometal bullets. Once the ranges get fully re-opened, I'm going to work up loads by first using a safe...
