I shot some Federal factory loads today, 55 gr NBT, they did real well. Any ideas how to reload to duplicate those ? I got the OAL and length to ogive. Didn't have a chrony, way too hot and humid to mess with that.

No rush at all. Running 150 gr Partitions, 20" barrel Rem 700, IMR 4064, because I have it on hand. Looks like 46.8 gr was fairly accurate, curious what it's fps. Thanks. Steve

I recently bought a Sako L61R in .270. I ordered some 140 gr Partitions from SPS. When I got the length to the lands figured I backed off .010" and set the seating die. I usually check a few as I go along. I was going to load 24 rounds, 8 each at different powder charges. As I seated the...

Just bought what I hope is the ugliest rifle I'll ever own, but it fills a slot. Rem 700 SPS, 20" bull barrel, sure enough ugly synthetic stock. Whew. Need something to carry in the truck and on a tractor when working, seem to have pigs moving in. Wanting to load Partitions, have IMR 4064...

I was googling around and found a couple references to that rifle/load combo on here. Do any of you who've used it recall your OAL ? Thanks Steve

I thought I had ordered some 150 Partitions, what I got are 150 gr with what looks like a black ballistic tip, and the bullets are boat tailed. Tag on the bag reads FTIP 30/ 151 SP, next line is Factory Seconds, next line is ET 8684/BAND They shoot well in the Savage 99 with 3031, running 2770...

Anyone had any experience with this one in a lever gun ? Bought one recently, on a modern JM Marlin 1895 action with a 25" McGowen barrel. Load data isn't exactly plentiful. Brass is formed from .40-65. Got a few rounds loaded, I'll try it Tuesday.

Anyone loading a DPMS .308 for pig hunting ? Seems like a Partition would be a good pig bullet. This rifle is uglier than it is accurate, and it's reasonably accurate with Federal Gold Match 168 gr HPBT ammo. Only a 16" barrel, but it looks like it will do an inch at 100, once I get over being...

Just picked this up today, serial number says it was made between 1962 and 1973, haven't narrowed it down any more than that. Bolt face has the very slightest ring on it, can't be many rounds. Pulled it down to clean things, and it appears to have an adjustable trigger. Guess I'll go googling...

I was working up some 1x Rem brass this afternoon, bought on gunbroker. I ran it thru a Lee resizing die, then went to trim to length. Some of it was small enough diameter at the base that the shell holder wouldn't grip it well enough to trim. I've been thru this with unfired .45-70 brass, and...

Recently bought a mid 90's 700 in .25-06. I have 100 and 115 NBT's to start, I'll probably use IMR 4831. I just tried to chamber some rounds my Ruger M77 likes that are near the lands and they were pretty tight in the 700. Where would you start for OAL and/or comparator length for those two...

I have a load for a 140 E-tip with 7828 that does pretty well if I do my part. A friend is all hot to use 150 E-tips for his out west hunting. I've tried them in my rifle, a plain jane Vanguard, and can't get them to do anything decent, say an inch at 100 yards. The 140's have done .7" and...

First, thanks to you all who post about this caliber, I've learned alot on here. Working up loads, when I find something that shoots well in the middle of the recommended powder weight range, and I want to run it faster, should I stay with the same OAL for a given bullet as I try to push it...

Just got a Wilson case trimmer, wondering what folks use for length. I had been trimming to 2.485 with a Lee rig. I can see the Wilson will get the ends of the cases true square. I'm shooting a No.1 and a Vanguard. Thanks for the help - Steve

I have a No. 1 that I can't seem to get as consistent as I think it ought to be. It has a Douglas barrel, with a 1x10 twist. I size the brass to 2.485" with a Lee cutter and battery drill. I'm hoping to get a Wilson case trimmer, been looking around. I'm wondering if I've shot this batch of...
