I started reloading for the 308 when I began. I have had good luck with Blc2, Win 748, and R/L 15. In BLc2 I use 46.5 grains with a 165 and Win 748 and R/L 15 44.0 grains work well for 165's.

I think I screwed up. I believe you are right with 2000 feet per second. But that is probably more than 2000 foot pounds of energy. At a distance of 300 yards, one could probably harvest any game in North America with the venerable 06 and a well placed shot. A Hornady technician told me that...

I use the 165 GMX in 308, 30/06 and the 140 grain version for my 30/30. The Gmx was redesigned and Hornady renamed it to the Controlled expanding (CX) bullet. The Company claims that the bullet is more accurate due to a change in the Ogive and can be used out to 400 or 500 yards. please keep in...

Let's hope this goes away soon. I was able to score some Peterson brass and 1,000 CCI 200 primers towards the end of last summer. Basically, this is a hit & miss situation also, I wish more shops in the Fort Riley area carried supplies. Hopefully, Everything should slow down in the next 6...

If you are still having issues I would experiment with bullet seating depths.

Hello, I also have a model 88. My rifle likes 44 grains of Win 748 and the same charge using RL 15 with 165 Game kings and 165 GMX's. You could also try to experiment with bullet seating depths, charge weights, and primers. I would begin with changing one component at a time. Good luck, and...

Hello everyone, in my 1903 a3 I haven't had any issues with with charge weights, bullets, or pressure. My model 88 also shoots just about anything I have used. In the beginning, I started with Sierra 165 game kings, but switched to Gmx's in both. I don't see why 180's would be a problem in a...

Hello, has anyone tried HYBRID 100V, Staball 6.5, or H4350 powder in 3006. I am trying to find alternate powders due to the shortage.

Hello everyone, I just received my yearly Kansas hunt and fish combo. Surprisingly, I did not realize that there are other Kansans who also subscribe to this page. I will take the 03 a3 and hope my friend/ fraternity brother places me in a good spot this year.

muleman, Congratulations on an outstanding rifle. I have a sportorized 03 a3. Although every rifle is different, I use a 165 GMX with 55.0 grains of IMR 4350. I harvested a 180 pound doe and I am impressed with the performance of the projectile and the charge. The bottom line upfront is...

Does anyone have an idea when the shortage may slow down?

Hello, Can someone suggest a reasonably priced scope for a win m 94 and a 1903 a3. Thanks, Doni

Boomer, That group will harvest any deer at 100 yards. Your group is good. In my experience, shooter error greatly contributes to inaccuracy. I run the same powder charge in my 1903 a3 and my gun loves it. According to the Nosler data, your charge is the middle of the road. If it is not...

Tack Driver, My m 88 chambered in 308 loves 44.0 grains of RL 15 with 165 gmx's, and 165 Game Kings. I am a deer Kansas hunter and this powder works great for my needs. I do not think there is one possible solution for every situation. I experimented with 3 different powders when I started...

Tack Driver, I am writing this regarding your statement. Personally, I can not think of anyone who has not screwed up. I believe mistakes teach us to be better at our aspirations and in life. The guy who retaught me hand loading, admitted that he also forgot to seat primers before charging a...

Hello everyone, I am not sure why some find issue with 165 grain bullets in 30/06 for deer. I shot a 180 pound doe at the hoof with a Hornady GMX. The animal was +/- 150 meters and quartered towards me. She did not run over 15 yards, after being shot. I did not recover the bullet, but the...

Hello Hunt Machine, I do not have a 300 win, but I harvested a nice doe with a 165 gmx loaded with 55.0 grains, of IMR 4350 for my 30/06 Springfield. The doe was about 150 meters away and she did not run over 15 yards. In the 06 my OAL length is about 3.120. Thank God, tracking was not...

Hello, I am sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with the Hornady bullets you listed. I used 165 grain Game kings in 308 with great success. I am not employed by the industry. I shot a 180 pound doe using 165 GMX and 55.0 grains of Imr 4350. My 30/06 Springfield did the job. My...
