    200 Grain Accubonds in the 30-06

    In my M70 30-06 I use the 190 gr. LRAB propelled with RL-17. Sub-MOA accuracy and the velocity is smoking when loaded to 270 pressures and 3.440" LOA.

    6mm ARC

    I have a 6mm AR which is a 6.5 Grendel necked down to 6mm. It is built on a CZ5527 action and wears a 24" 1/10 twist Shilen barrel. The ARC has the shoulder pushed back .050", but the case capacity is close. I'll send you a spreadsheet of all my loading data if you PM me your email address.

    30-06 QL Help Please and any help from the stands would be great too.

    And the 7x57 was based off the early version of the 8x57 that was loaded with .318" bullets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrone_88

    35 Whelen or 9.3x62 and why?

    Actually a Brown Whelen is really close to a 9.3x62 case necked to 35 caliber. Just a different shoulder angle and being .010" larger at the shoulder. I haven't has any issue making 9.3x62 cases from the 30-06 brass I had on hand. Prime a 30-06 case, put 5-7 gr. of Bullseye inside, followed by...

    Favorite European Cartridge?

    I use RL-17 with 140 gr. Ballistic tips and the velocity and accuracy are stunning in a modern action.

    Favorite European Cartridge?

    If I were limited to one it would be the 9.3x62mm as it covers the entire game spectrum, but 6.5x55, and the 7x57 would be right up there.

    22 Hornet load discrepancy

    I would recommend this loading article. https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/working-with-the-22-hornet-ml-mc-pherson-winter-2012/42112731 My Ruger M77/22H shoots way better with MP-300 as compared to Lil'Gun with 40 gr. bullets. The MP-300 was slightly slower, but had a much lower SD as...

    When Wildcats get too wild with pressure Dr Mike!?!

    I've been guilty of this in the past before the 280 AI had SAAMI specs and QL were available. I have a couple 280 AI rifles built on blueprinted 700 actions for long range work that have 1/8 twist 28-30" barrels. One day I decided to see how fast I could push a 140 gr. Nosler BT seated long...

    Reloading 3 rifles for Elk loads..

    My M70 30-06 thrives on RL-17, but H4350 would be my second choice.

    22 ARC QL Request

    Thanks for letting me know. I created a 22 Grendel file in GRT, but I have greater trust of QL results.

    22 ARC QL Request

    I could use 22 ARC QL simulations for the 75 and 88 gr. ELD Match bullets and another for the 80 gr. Berger VLD loaded to 2.250" at 52kPsi with a 24" barrel. So far 28.0 gr. of CFE223 is pushing 80 grain bullets a little over 2800 fps, but haven't yet found a load that shoots as well as my 224...

    Afganistan

    I recently watched "The Covenant" for the first time, and it brought the hurt back again. Spineless politicians have kept those that supported the US troops and saved many of their lives living in fear or have been caught and executed by the Taliban. I believe it is because the politicians fear...

    If you want a magnum performance, buy a magnum.

    Heavier 6mm hunting bullet - Nosler listening?

    Agreed, doubtful is a good assessment of the situation. They can sell all the bullets of the current design they can make, so spending R&D funds on new niche bullet weights seems unlikely.

    Favorite bullets and powders for the 358 Win? Crimp?

    I like the 200 gr. Hornady FTX for deer, but it's a little soft for elk. IMR 3031 has delivered the highest velocity in my M-88 and the accuracy is more than reasonable.

    6mm E-Tip 90 gr "real" min twist

    Long ago I purchases some 86 gr. e-tips from SPS and they were stable in my 6mm AR(6mm Grendel) that has a 1/10 twist Shilen barrel.
