120 BT is very accurate in my mauser 6.5x55. Just dont hit bone, they come apart big time. I don't have a problem with them and consider them an exellent whitetail, blacktail or antelope bullet. I let a friend use my rifle on and antelope hunt when his rifle failed the day before and he hit a...

I am getting set up for reloading the .300 mag in an Encore. I load lots of other cartridges, just never a belted magnum in an Encore. I am wondering what dies you all recomend. I have heard all the short comings of Belted magnums and their case life. Would like to get best case life and...

I have had a few case mouths split in a 6.5x55 when using average loads with 120 BTs or 140ssts. It was after the cases were loaded about 5 times. I just use that as a sign to disgard the lot. The brass never showed any other pressure signs, but that was enough for me. If the necks are brittle...

I drew a CA x3a tag, one of the best trophy mule deer tags in the state. Probably not as good as many states, but pretty exciting for a So Cal guy that is usually chasing forkies and does with the bow while trying to avoid the poaching illegal aliens and the national forest marijuana fields...

120s and 140s shoot great in my 6.5x55, so I am sure the 130AB will shoot great. With RL 22, you can get 2700FPS from a 140 gr bullet in the 6.5x55. A 130 bonded bullet anywhere in that range of 2700-3000 in a 6.5 or 260 will be a devastating load for any deer and many in Europe would say for...

IMR 4064 is working best in the barrel so far with the 260AB. Today I shot some loads up to 48.5Grns of IMR 4064 and the accuracy is improving the harder I push it. The max for 270 gr bullets is 49.2grns, so I probably have another grain to go to reach max with the 260 AB. From here I am going...

I am just starting to reload this bullet and it is proven to be the most accurate bullet out of my G2 with the 375 JDJ rifle barrel. It is a factory TC barrel. I was just wondering if Nosler has worked on any data with this cartridge in a rifle barrel. Almost all the published data is for...
