I have a decent load with 150 Nosler BTs out of my 24" Winchester M70 with RL23 that uses 55.9 grains in Winchester brass with Fed GM210M primers and 3.380 OAL that gives me 2940 fps AVG 5 rounds (Labradar 9 ES /4.9 SD) and .58" groups at 200 yards. I don't want to burn up my precious...
My CZ527 22 Hornet really loved the 40 grain Nosler Varmageddon HP bullets. Without that pesky tip taking up space in the magazine I could load it out closer to the lands and achieve great 100 & 200 yard groups. Unfortunately Nosler has decided to eliminate the HP version. The 34 grain...
Would someone with quickload tell me what is the HEAT OF EXPLOSION for Reloader 15.5. I would like to start some development with my 243 Win with Lapua brass and 70 Nosler BTs.
The .224 Varmageddon HP was the perfect bullet in my CZ527 22 Hornet and I'm sad to see it leave, just as I was sad to see the 45 grain Solid Base Hornet depart. The 40 grain tipped is way to long for the Hornet magazines, and I do not like the light weight bullets ... might as well shoot my 22...
It seems that most bullets manufactured today go directly to ammunition manufacture and handloaders/reloaders are now an after thought. It seems that the customers that brought success to the bullet manufacturers are being neglected. Bullets were reasonably priced and available online as well...
Anybody out there have any data for the 160 Partition loaded in the 270 Win with RL23 powder? I was hoping the new Nosler Manual would have RL 16, 23 and 26 data for many of the cartridges but sadly they haven't.
I recently opened a box of 338 225 grain Accubond bullets and was shocked to see half of the points broken/corroded off of the bullets. I contacted customer service and talked to Mike and he is sending me a new box. Thumbs up with Nosler Customer Service. He told me my box was about 15 years...
This is the first Accubond bullet that I have noticed is actually cataloged to be shorter than a comparable Ballistic Tip. Will this mean that it will have a lower BC? Regardless, I will be willing to give them a shot as the 150 AB LR has not been a favorite in my 4 270's. Hope they are...
