I'm wondering if anyone has the same results as I have using nickel plated brass vs bronze. In both my 270 WSM's rifles, using all the same components except the case type, I get better results using nickel plated vs non nickel plated. Federal and Browning cases are the only nickel plated...

I just thought I would pass them on to anyone looking for bullets. My local Scheels have 30 caliber 180g Accubonds on sale for $39.00. That's the cheapest I've seen in awhile. You might be able to order online also, not sure. Hope this helps someone.

I think I found my Elk load for this fall. H4350 with Norma Brass, Remington 9.5M primers and Federal TA 175 bullets out of my XBolt. Average speed was 3087fps. Pretty happy with it.

Question for everyone: I bought some Federal Terminal Ascents Factory ammo in 30.06 with 175G . I pulled the 175G bullets and used them for my 300WSM for load development. My question is: can I assume since it was Federal Factory ammo that the 30.06 cases that I pulled the bullets from were...

Hi and Merry Christmas to everyone!! Over the Christmas break I'm going to do a ladder test on a new powder, load combination on my 300WSM. My question is: Does it make a difference if i use brand new brass or should I use some of my fired brass for the ladder test? Curious on opinions to...

Question for everyone: Federal nickel brass and Fed 210M primers. Found a great load for 270WSM with Federal nickel brass and Fed 210M primers. Here is the problem/question: what would case the primers to just fall out. It has happened about 4 times out of 50 handloads. They seem to seat...

My Browning shoots the Factory Nosler Trophy Grade 180G Accubond in 300WSM very good. I would like to try and duplicate what they are doing at the factory. I pulled one today, it was very compressed, and weighed in and it was 62.4grains. My question is: anybody venture to guess what powder...

I searched but couldn't find any data. Could someone run a quickload for 165 ABLR in 270 WSM with Magpro and H4831SC? Just got some in and wanted to see if my ABolt will stabilize them. I'm open to other powders also-I finally have a pretty good selection. TIA.

I want to have my Leupold Custom Dial Done and the Tech at Leupold advised me to send me the information where I will be doing most of my hunting (Montana) instead of where I did my testing (Minnesota). I'm having a brain fart trying to figure this out. If my 270WSM 150g Accubond is going...

Ok. So I have a great load for my 270WSM with 140g Accubonds and Magpro. I thought I would try and see what I could do with 150G Accubonds and Magpro. I went to the range today and was very happy with my initial loadings but not the velocities I was achieving. I need to fine tune but I was...

I've found a couple of excellent loads for my 300WSM but have a question for you guys: Most of the reloading manuals, etc use magnum rifle primers with the 300WSM. I do have a very good load worked up with WLRM primers but also have any excellent load with Fed 210 primers. The velocity...

I just scored on some Federal Terminal Ascents in 136G for me 270WSM and 175G for my 300WSM and would like some info on some loads: For the 136G: Magpro, RL17, RL19,RL22 and H4831sc and Superformance. For the 175G: RL17,RL19 H4831sc, H4350, IMR4831 and Superformance. I've heard good things about...

Getting my gun back soon from the gunsmith and want to work up some loads with 150G Partitions and Accubonds. I've got some for 130 and 140 g but haven't tried 150G yet. I have a pretty good assortment of powders and primers so any recommendations would be appreciated.

Finally got enough components to start my reloading for 300WSM and 270WSM. I have a couple of questions for people much more knowledgeable than me. In the past I never paid much attention to which powders are more temperature sensitive than others when I reloaded for my 270 win and 30-06. I...

My 300WSM Browning shoots the factory Norma Bondstrike 180G pretty good but I would like to try and improve if I can. Can someone run a quickload on these powders: H4831SC, IMR 7828SSC and IMR 4350. I thought I would try these first and I also have Magpro and Superformance. TIA

Working up loads for 270 WSM and 300 WSM. In the past I've used my Caldwell Lead Sled in load development but sometimes just shoot with sandbags. My question is: do you think using a lead sled affects accuracy and if you do, in a positive or negative manner. TIA

Worked up a pet load for my 300 WSM but with limited powder also shot Hornady CX, Federal TA and Norma Bondstrikes out of my Browning Mountain Pro X Bolt. Here is my question: My handloads and the 3 factories all had the same POI at 100 yards but here is the catch: In all 4 loads: 2 of the...

Long time reloader but 1st post. So with the powder shortage, I have these available to work up a load with for my Browning ABolt in 270 WSM with either 140G AB or PT. H4831sc, H4350, IMR 4350, IMR 4831 and RE22. I have the Nosler #6 manual but not the most recent. Just wondering what...
