Yea when Hogdon bought out Western Poweder prices went through the roof. I like to muzzleloader hunt but not at that price. For my 150yds max shot, IMR whitehot or 777 pellets work just fine with 250g Barnes Spitfires.
Got home from work and found a little package from Idaho waiting for me. Mag loads easy and cycles perfectly. Can't say enough good things about Seekins and how quick they responded or sent out the mag.
My 2 buddies have Seekins 6.5 PRC rifles and love em. I borrowed one to kill a small buck at 320yds last season so I know it'll be a filler freezer. Looking forward to loading for this rifle once I get a few more rounds down the barrel.
I've been a diehard 270 Win guy since I took up deer hunting. It's what dad shot, its what I killed my first deer with a rifle with, and it just plain works well on game without beating up the shooter. My buddy bought a Seekins Havak Element in 6.5 PRC last year and I had the chance to shoot a...

Took mom to the farm to punch a doe tag. She was using her Model 7 in 243 that she got when her dad passed 20yrs ago. Had a nice 1.5-2yr old doe made the mistake of coming withing 60yds of the blind and stopped broadside. Mom made a good shot and I watched the doe run 50yds down the middle of...
Meant to post this last year but forgot.
Shot a public land 8pt at 65yds in the swamp. Quartered to me a little and stood in a nice opening trying to get down wind of me so I knew it was now or never. He ran 40-45yds and piled up. I watched him drop so didn't need to blood trail him but...
Got invited to my buddies new lease this past weekend and had an opportunity to fill a tag for a coworker needing some deer meat. I had my grandpa's 30-06 but wasn't comfortable shooting it much past 200yds since I didn't have much trigger time on the rifle since getting it after he passed in...
Wasn't my dad's rifle, but I did manage to inherit my grandpa's rifle when he passed in February 2023. My dad worked a ton when i was growing up and we hunted when we could but grandpa was admittedly the hunter in the family and killed far more than his share of deer, squirrels, and rabbits...
So I've been looking at getting a new rifle for next season and I am leaning towards a 7mm Rem Mag.
I would like a do all bullet that will have me covered from the muzzle in the woods or under the stand but I also would like a high BC bullet to shoot across some bean fields at 300-350yds...
I've got a X-Bolt Hells Canyon Speed on order with my local gun shop and a Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44. I'm looking for a good set of mounts for the rifle. I've narrowed it down to Talley or Warne but would be open to other 2pc options, not really looking for a 1pc setup on this rifle. I'm...
Found about 20 130 AB’s in my bullet box from my 270 WSM days and loaded them up. I’ll shoot them over the next week or so and see how they do and report back.
Loaded them 57-59 grains of 4831sc, 3.30”, CCI 200 primers in once fired Hornady brass.
I’ve seen several postings here and on other forums of guys saying Accubond are too tough for deer and don’t expand much or don’t cause enough trauma to put a deer down quickly. Any validity to this or are Accubonds going to behave somewhat like a ballistic tip and cause lots of trauma but hold...
I’ve been shooting 130gr and 140gr BT’s and SST’s. They kill deer quick and work ok on hogs but I’ve found them to be very destructive around bone. I try to keep em tucked behind the shoulder but occasionally catch the offside shoulder and they tend to not do the best. So I’m looking for a new...
Thanks for the chart steve.
I shot 3 or 4 different loads Monday morning. 58 shot the best with a group of .61" center to center. I had 2 in 1 hole and 1 slightly outside. Going to load a couple more at the specs above and a couple with an overall length of 3.34" to see how the rifle...
Would somebody be able to run a quickload chart for me on a 270 Win shooting 140 Nosler Ballistic Tips?
I'm shooting them from a Tikka T3 (22.5" barrel). My load uses Hornady brass, CCI 250 mag primers, and H4831sc powder. Overall length is 3.32" Thanks in advance.
