I understand throating a rifle long and what it can do for case capacity and resulting pressures. That said, I am throated long -- and cannot see how someone could shoot 168's with that much powder (63.0 grains of RL 22) without having problems -- and serious problems at that... I could be...

Glane, That sounds a bit high to me (63.0 grains of RL 22) for a 168 Berger VLD. 63.5 on 140 grains was loosening my primer pockets (showing signs of pressure). under 60.0 grains of RL 22 would seem to me to be the upper limit for a bullet that heavy. Preferably 58.0 or so grains. I have...

Beretzs, It is a number 4 contour cut to 24.85 inches and fairly light everywhere else excluding the z6 3-18 x 50 scope. I think it is probably around 8.5-9.25 packing weight. Balances well since I took 1.15 inches off the barrel( it was a 26" barrel at first). I packed it deer hunting last...

That is right where I am with the 140's -- 3240. I noticed my nosler brass is loosening a bit in the primer pockets and don't care much for that. Were you able to retain accuracy by backing off on the load? Mine seems to shoot very well at max -- but I admit I haven't backed off by more than...

JD 338, I have seen your posts before -- and was impressed. Nice rifle and nice groups. I don't think I can shoot as well as you... I tried RL 22 with the 160's but not much luck for me. I have had luck with 140's at 100 yds as noted, however, ES and SD's were high. I also was getting...

Hey everyone, New to the forum and thought I would share some load information. I have posted a picture of a load for my 280 custom ackley (model 70 trued action, lilja 1:10 twist, Bell and Carlson stock etc). I have been using 140 VLD's with RL 22 -- great success but wanted to try a little...
