I’m looking for some edumication on Berger boolits for hunting. I have not used them on game ever but I know Guy and some of the other guys here like them. I hunt from a tree stand in Pennsylvania so shots are not long at all. And yes this is in relation to my 30.06 looking to squeeze more...
Hey Guy… or should we call you Tex cause that there is some nice shootin!!! I am ok with hunting accuracy at 1” especially the distances I shoot game mainly deer unless random coyote pokes his head out of the tall grass. I’m in PA and hunt from a stand in the thick woods so an inch is totally...
That is more long range stuff I shoot 300 and in and mostly 150 or less at deer from a tree stand. I also reload the exact same way for 7 rifles and this one is the only one giving me anything less than 1/2” groups at 100yds. I’m not sure what my neck tension is nor do I for runout. It’s just...
So I have shot 150’s with 4064 and just made a few more to verify. I have some 180 Hornady IL and just picked up yesterday some BT 165’s just haven’t loaded 180 or BT yet
No worries just send me your name address phone number DL number and frozen account info. I’ll get it sorted out and even write you a check out of the money left over …deal!!
Honestly before I go all out and spend several hundred on seating dues Ive got Ramshot BG and hunter I’m going to try first. I also yesterday made an older load of imr4064 with 150gr boolits to see if they shoot tighter
But do you get any benefit in accuracy by using that die?
I honestly like the Forster die cause the case support is asap but I load everything now with RCBS plain Jane and my 308 dies are Hornady custom grade but that gun shoot clover leafs
I agree with this cause I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed so I think you’re right. I’m leaning towards the rifle being the culprit here only cause the others I load for are clover leafs or close enough to it
So what I was mainly thinking about is seating dies. I’m looking into the RCBS matchmaster and the Forster benchrest.
My reasoning is I have a tikka t3 30.06. I’ve tried Sierra GK, Hornady SST and IL Speer Hot Cor and BTSP; switched powders from w760 to imr4350 and now h4350 and best I can get...
It’s primarily hunting rifles in 243, 7-08, 308, 270, 30.06, 30-30 and 7mag all factory. I can shoot some longer distances at my range but up to 300yds and have a once in a while place to shoot 600 but very rarely will. I also have not had issues at all with my dies but noticed there are some...
I’ve mainly used RCBS dies I have a set of Hornady but lately I’ve been thinking about better dies. This is primarily for rifles but what are the benefits of some of the more spensiff dies? I see forrester and some others that are over $200 but what does the extra coin get me? I don’t much care...
