Hello Rogue River
My top loads were 125gr NP- 66gr H4831 CCI250 (3350 fps), 140gr NP- 66 IMR 7828 CCI 250 (3150 fps). My gun is a sako AV hunter with a 26" douglas barrel. Groups were 1/2 -3/4 at 100yds, 3/4-1 1/4 at 200yds. This fall I shot a nice ten point whitetail at 230yds with the 125...
I'm looking for loads for my 264 Win mag with the 130gr accubond? I have used 120gr Bt, 125gr pt and 140gr Pt with powders such as H4831, and IMR7828 with top velosities. POP, had posted great results awhile back with H1000, 70.5gr??? at 3300fps but I can't seem to find the post. Help!!! Do...
I own many different brands of scopes, Leupold, Swarvoski's, Zeiss and Kahles. But when shooting the heavy cannon's it's hard to beat the Leupold VX or Vari XIII 1.5-5. You want as much eye relief as you can get. My Weatherby V Deluxe in 416wby wears a Leupold Vari XIII 1.5-5. I'm sure you...
I have a steyr MS in 9.3x62 with a 20" barrell. With 250gr Nolser BT, 250gr BarnesX and 270 Speer hotcores, velocities are 2200-2300 fps. I haven't tried the 286 Nosler Partitions yet. I think 9.3x62 is similiar to the 35 Whelen in that it is best suited with 22"-24" barrell. If I was...
I think brush guns should be short and handy (Barrell 22in or less). I prefer Rem 660-350RM, Steyr Full stock- 9.3x62 Mauser, Marlin 1895-4570, Browning 71-348 win, Browning 358 win. All cals should be loaded with 250grs and up. But if barrell length and shortness was not a issue it would be...
If it's mostly deer hunting and/or 1-2 lifetime moose/elk hunts ,get the 7mm RUM. 140/ 160 AB for deer and 175gr NP for moose/elk. My brother shot 2 whitetail bucks with his Rem 700 Sendero SF in 7mm RUM with 160gr AB at 3300fps at 125 and 300 yds with awesome results. The bucks didn't move...
My Rem 700 VS in 22-250 AI (24 in barrell) shoots the 40gr CT BT around 4000fps with IMR4895 CCI BR-2 primers. I have used this combo to shoot approx 100 woodchucks with excellent results. Accurate, reliable expansion at all ranges 50yrd-400yds. I have 55grs CT BT but haven't loaded/tested...
I also can't wait to try them out. I won't be able to get a hold of them until the spring of 2007. My 264 Win mag needs them bad. I'm getting 3400 fps with the 125gr NP and close to 3200fps with the 140 gr NP. So I hope I can get 3300fps with 130grs AB. Pop which powders did you use for your...

I own several leupolds (12), Kahles (1) , Swaro, (1) and two Zeiss's. It's hard to beat the leupold Vari X 111 scopes for the price. But if you are doing a lot of hunting in dust/dawn situations it's worth spending the extra money on a Zeiss VM/V, 30mm Kahles, Swaro, or Leupolds LPS. All...
