    260 AI or 6.5-06 or 7mm-08 AI

    I shoot the 6.5-06 in a 15" TC Encore, 125 gr partitions are deadly on deer and antelope, I haven't used it on elk. I neck up 25-06 brass with no issues, I went with necking up since I also have a 30-06 barrel and it makes keeping the brass separate easier.

    Reloading Logs

    I developed a couple different pages in excel that I print out and put in 3 ring binders. I have more in depth sheets for the bottleneck cartridges and less for the semi auto and revolver cartridges. I keep a different binder for rifles, single shot pistols and one for revolvers and semi auto...

    TTSX 185 va 210 in 338-06?

    I had excellent results from the 160 gr Barnes TTSX on elk this year with a 15" 338-06 TC Encore, I was getting 2575 at the muzzle and with a 180 yard shot the recovered bullet was magazine picture perfect for mushrooming and weighed over 150 gr. I would have to track down the exact weight again.

    Loading 338 Cartridges

    I have a 338-06 in a 15" TC Encore, I put this barrel together for elk hunting. Without a ton of load workup after picking the best powder from 5, I am getting 2571 with Barnes 160 TTSX bullets. I shot an elk at 180 yards with one and it weighed right at 159 gr when we found it under the hide...

    2023 Hunting Season

    Blkram, I am getting 2575 out of 15" barrel, the performance was a picture perfect mushroom with the petals peeled back. Last year I worked up a load with the Nosler 210 gr partition and was getting 2200 with it, I didn't get a chance to use it on anything. I went to the lighter bullet hoping...

    2023 Hunting Season

    I had a great Saturday morning(9/16/2023). My wonderful wife asked one of clients where she works if he allowed any elk hunting and he said sure. Turned into a great hunt, he and a couple young guys took me out and we spotted elk from the first area we stopped to glass. There was a big bull...

    Midsouth Shooters Supply

    Yes, I have an older Pro Chronograph but I decided to upgrade to one that I don't have to go down range to set up and I can check velocity and accuracy at the same time.

    Midsouth Shooters Supply

    Has anybody seen anything with Midsouth's website being targeted by or cloned by any of the scammers? I am looking at Labradar chronographs and their sites pops up as having them in stock. I have ordered by Midsouth in the past(Pre Covid) but with basically everyone else showing out of stock...

    Cleaning scales

    if you have access to any type of ozone generator it might help with the smell. I picked a small one on amazon a couple years ago because I left a couple hunting jackets in the garage and they had an odor. it worked for that.

    Would this be less accurate measuring?

    That is exactly the way I have been doing it. I shoot break action single shot pistols so I have never tried the Hornady tool. I just close the action on a spit case with the bullet long, I usually measure 3 to 5 times to make sure I am getting a good reading.
