Two deer and a turkey this year. Deer were shot at 255 and 310 yards with my 7mm RM and a 143 hammer. Turkey was my first crossbow kill.

I hit 3200 and change with the 150gr Partitions and Staball but it just wouldn't group for me. I have never gotten the 150gr Partitions to group to be honest, in 30-06 or 308. I couldn't find any 150gr lead free bullets when I was trying it out, just decided to stick with 180gr Accubonds.

I stopped into the local gun/small engine repair shop looking for primers a few days ago and happened to notice an older red pad M77 in the rack that looked pretty clean. I glanced at the tag and it looked like it said 495, but I never picked it up or looked too hard, I was struggling to stay on...

I've used the 180 in the much smaller Federal, works great on deer, so more power would only be more better right?

What is the rifle the brass is going into? My Christensen requires new brass to go through a small base die to function.

Before you creep up in powder, try a few once fired rather than new. You may just need to fire form your new brass. Or you may find out you need to add or subtract more powder once it's formed.

RL17 and the 225gr go together very well. Anywhere from 57-63gr and you'll love what you see. If you step down to 200gr class, look into H380, I've gotten my top speeds from those two powders.

I don't think the pressure difference will be enough to say one way or another to be totally honest. I think I understand the question, but to clarify, what are you turning your necks to for thickness? What is the application for the rifle? I turn a lot of my necks, but not for tight necked...

I always think the grey tips are Ballistic Tips destined for Lubalox coating that never gets coating. Either they run a bigger batch then needed or they are just never sent out as they get the machines dialed in. Could be wrong, but most silver tips I have received have a corresponding CT...

Try AR Comp with a 69gr TMK. I had very good luck with a 1-8" Ruger American around 31-31.5gr

I'd take a good look at H4831, not the SC version. I use it on my 7mm Rem Mag and 150gr Sciroccos. It fills the case very well and dodges big temp changes just as well. I'm pushing them at 3100 fps with a 26" tube, I'm sure you could back it off a hair and hit your target goal easily. I'd start...

Do you know the twist rate? Factory rifle? If so, which one? Purpose for the rifle? I will always have a 7mm RM in my hunting rotation and have tried many different combos for hunting. I have more confidence in the rifle then i do myself.

I run three 200gr HotCor with 51.5gr of 2000MR in my 338 Fed. I'm not sure you'd get much more in the case then that. Very accurate load, probably going to take it out opening day Saturday to see if I can't bowl over a WT. I'm right around Alliant's velocity claim. Edit: So I went out this...

I would try both at 300 yards to see which preformed better. Let the targets finalize your load. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I know this is a few weeks old but don't forget with a savage 223 they install a different bolt baffle to act as a stop so you have a shorter throw. Going to anything over about 2.350" OAL will mean getting a new bolt baffle without the stop. There is no difference between long and short action...

I shoot a Ruger M77 338 federal with hand loads only. I've taken my biggest whitetail to date with it and the 180gr Accubond at about 2725fps. I took a quartering towards shot, snuck it behind the front shoulder and got the bullet back under the hide in front of the rear ham. Barely any meat...

Very nice! I've been wanting to do a short action 270 to push the 115gr Gold Dot hard to see what it does. Even necked up a 6.5 Creed to see what it looks like. This has me thinking I really should pursue it a bit more! Great shooting with an even better looking rifle. Sent from my SM-G960U...

I shoot the 75gr ELD-M in mine, and using RL23 I'm shooting a very consistent 3370 fps and single digit SDs. Its a great little round. I tried some 80s but liked the higher velocities of the 75s. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

So I ran the 180s through my Mag Speed today. Tight chambers produce crazy velocities. 4 shots, average of 2891fps, es 11, SD 4.3. Lines up with my testing of RL22 and 180gr Partitions. I stopped at 60gr with a velocity of 2899, two grains under max per Nosler. Pulled the rest of my rounds...

What zone did you happen to get? I've been putting in for 20 years, minus a few combat deployments and have never gotten pulled for one. I would look at the Accubond myself. Aim for around 3000 fps and find your accuracy. Which zone you are in will determine your shot distance for the most...
