    Model 70 Super Grade in .280 / Midway 1 in 500

    WTS NEED to sell - Model 70 Super Grade Midway edition, 1 of 500. I've come to at a point in my life that I need to start downsizing and offload many items I have accumulated over the years. This one rifle is the most difficult for me to relinquish, so I am starting with this one...I figure if...

    I accidentally bought 180-grain Protected Point Partitions...

    I am not at all concerned that they won't work, but I AM wondering if they'll load just like the regular Partitions will. It would be nice to be able to just use the same powder charge I've always used when loading for my .30-06 with Re16 and H4350 (I played with H4831 once as well, and it was...

    Just a few threads down: https://forum.nosler.com/threads/wtt-264-140-gr-partitions-8-boxes-plus-a-few-others.43513/ I'm willing to sell these outright. It seems my desires for a swap seems to be a no-go these days, so I'm willing to just sell outright and then go shopping for what I want. I'm...

    Trade WTT .264" 140-gr Partitions - 8 boxes (plus a few others)

    Having inventoried my bullets, I found that some of my standbys are getting a bit low and I have some other bullets I have not developed loads for and would rather not since primers and brass have been hard to find lately. Some are just bullets I want to quit using. To simplify, my excesses...

    Nosler 70-gr .224" RDFs for hunting?

    So...I conducted an inventory on my bullet stash the other day and found I am sitting pretty. Among the bullets counted was about 500 of the 70-grain RDFs which I originally bought to try out in a Model 70 HB some years ago (before I found out the rifling was trashed in the original barrel) in...

    New 70-Grain Accubond...data?

    I have been unable to find any loading data for this new bullet. I have managed to find some of the bullets to try out, but I'm puzzled as to why Nosler has not published any data at all---at least, not that I have been able to find. Am I just looking in the wrong places?

    Who has worked with Re16 already? What about QL??

    I laid in an 8-pounder the other day thinking I'd like to see how it does in my .35 Whelen shooting 225 Accubonds. It seems as though there's just not a lot of data out there. I'm thinking that since it is a slower burning number than Re15 is, and I'm shooting a lightly compressed load of Re15...

    Twisting it right...

    I hope you guys find this worth reading... I wanted to try and explain this with accompanying graphics, but I was unable to easily find suitable images and my skills with drawing software would probably lead to more confusion than clarification. So, I will try to simply use words. Starting at...

    Here's the new resident of my gunsafe

    One thing I'm learning is that those nice, sharp, clear, and crisp photos of firearms I've seen on Gunbroker are a display of talent on the photographer's part. These will have to do, though...I'm not looking for yet another challenge---my plate is quite full!

    What's a stronger word than "GIDDY?"

    I'm still pinching myself. When I have this rifle in my hands, which I expect in a little less than two weeks or so, I will post photos. The deal has been made, but it ain't over until the fat lady sings...but I have no reason to expect this to fall through. WHAT is it? How about a Model 70...

    Reloder 17 / .30-06 / 180 Partitions

    A while back I was crowing about a Model 70 Classic in .30-06 I had acquired in a trade. Since I never feel compelled to stick very close to a thread's topic, I mentioned my intention to try Re17 with 180-grain Partitions. Finally, I got around to it. Quickload seems to be pretty spot-on on...

    A Keeper of a .300 Whelen

    I've long believed I needed to have a .300 Whelen in the gunsafe, and I've long believed it needed to be a Model 70. Today the need was satisfied. :mrgreen: The fellow who owned it had it up for sale for about six weeks, and no one would bite and I don't get it. It's as new in the box and he...

    Magic numbers for .264 Win Mag?

    I violated a "rule" I had lived by since time immemorial, and that was that I needed NO belted cartridges. Or that I would have none. Whatever. Truth is, I was always intrigued by the .264 Win Mag so when a pre-64 Model 70 so chambered came my way, I snagged it. :!: I'm in the process of...

    Question on Winchester 94

    I've inherited a Winchester 94 in .30-30 in the last year. I cleaned it up and took it out and fired about a dozen rounds of ammo my dad was keeping in a shoebox, and I noticed that when fired, the lever tends to pop downward. I've had several 336s, but never a 94 so I don't know whether this is...

    Springfield RO

    I've watched this forum for discussion on the Range Officer, and I don't recall having seen it mentioned at all. I got a hankering for a single-stack 1911 a while back after handling a nice Springfield Loaded 1911. The trigger is what really got me, it was superb. The guys at the shop said it...

    Binocs

    I'm thinking about acquiring some beter binoculars. I'm inclined toward a 10x42 and either the Leupold McKinley or a Nikon Monarch 7. If money wasn't tight I'd probably go with Swarovski but that's not in the cards. So...anyone have experience with either or both of these? Maybe another...

    I'd like the benefit of YOUR experience with IMR 7828

    I'be been using H4831SC for quite a long time in several rifles. I'm not dissatisfied with it in any way, but I wonder if I've been leaving some performance potential on the table. My nephew decided to start reloading earlier in the summer and wanted to load for his .270 Winchester and could...

    QuickLOAD 3.8 / Accurate LT-32

    I was disappointed to see that the QuickLOAD 3.8 update did not include Accurate LT-32 in the powder database. Has anyone here developed a powder file for LT-32, or know anyone else who has?
