I have a minty P-64 Westerner in a Micky G&H stock, with Leupy QRs on it and just today replaced the Vari-X III 3.5x10 with a new Zeiss Conquest 4.5x14. I have been shooting 140 NPs in WW cases over IMR-7828-63 grs. which gives very tiny groups and chronos 3250 fps-mv. I am out of that powder...

I have five .338 Mag. rifles left out of 12 I have had since 1968; these are a Dakota 76 and four P-64 Mod. 70 Alaskans, my favourite general hunting rifle. I always load and use 250 NP bullets in WW brass over RE-22, 76 grs. in the Alaskans for about 2800 fps-mv chronoéd and 77 grs. in the...

I use 42-IMR-4350 with the 100-NP in my minty P-64 FWT and get .6" @ 100M with velocities just over 3000fps @ the muzzle. This is in WW brass with CCI-250s and is the Nosler book "max". WORK UP CAREFULLY to this with H-4350 as it is NOT "slower" in my rifles that I have tried it in so far; I...

I know of a number of Elk killed with a single lung shot, here in B.C., with the .270-130 PT. But, these were usually Cows and Calves on Limited Entry Draws. I don't hunt in Grizzly country, anymore, with anything under a .33 cal., due to the increasing number of fatal and injurious attacks on...

In more than twenty years with this cartridge, I have found my favourite load to be with the Partition Gold moly Free 160 gr., using mag. primers, IMR-7828, Norma brass and my rifle takes 59 grs-60 grs with good velocities and outstanding groups. It does a comfortable 2700 with 175 NPs as well...

I have been in at the death of a number of Grizzlies and I love NP bullets. In a .300 Mag. of any description, I would and have used the 200 gr. NP, which I consider best for B.C. conditions; I also use this in my .30-06 rifles and would prefer it as an all around bullet to anything lighter. The...

These Brnos were primarily shipped to Africa and Canada and actually can be found for quite reasonable prices here in Canada; many of them were purchased by serious bush workers due to the light weight and thus show long, hard use. I would never alter a really nice one, but, have seen many...

Sorry, I don't have the means of doing this, at present. If, you want to see one of these rifles, go to AR-classified and go back about a week or two in the backpages. Ray Atkinson has one, in 9.3x62 which appears factory althopugh it has been re-barreled. This is identical to mine in .280, I...

I have been shooting that ammo in an extremely accurate P-64 Mod. 70 .30-06 FWT. since it came out and it is truely awesome. I bought about 800 180 NPs as "seconds" from Kesselring's in WA. state some yrs. back, but, even my finest handloads will not beat that ammo. I kinda wish that they would...

I am now on my third custom .280, this is a rather rare rifle. It is a Brno 721 aka 21-H, "roundbolt", re-chambered from 7mm Mauser to .280 Rem. Although not a full custom like my previous two, it shoots in the .5s with the 160 PT. Gold MF. and is a very sweet little rifle to pack and handle. I...

I just discovered this forum on 24hr.campfire, I am so pleased to become a member. I loaded my first Nosler PT. bullet at age 21, in Jan. 1968; I am a Nosler fanatic and use them in every rifle I possibly can. NOBODY makes bullets equal to Noslers, period. I have now owned 125 guns, most of them...
