I posted this last month in the Reloading pages but did not get a response. So I am reposting here. Can you calculate QL data using RL 16 for this new bullet? It is 1.413 inches long with a 0.469 bearing surface. I will seat to 2.900 OCL. 24 inch barrel. Hornady brass. And Lapua brass...

Can you calculate QL data using RL 16 for this new bullet? It is 1.413 inches long with a 0.469 bearing surface. I will seat to 2.895 OCL. 24 inch barrel. Hornady brass. Many thanks!

Can you run a QL for this F-class set up for me? 27 inch long barrel. The 180 7mm Berger hybrid is 1.529 inches long. OCL for this load will be 3.078 inches. Winchester brass rather than necked up Norma. Many thanks!

I have been shooting a 6.5 CM a lot lately. Tikka T3X CTR, practically stock except for 20 MOA base, surefire muzzle brake for a can and 1 pound Mountain Tactical trigger spring. I purchased 200 round ammo can of Hornady American Gunner Ammo when I received the rifle and have harvested that...

I purchased the Hornady OCL gauge and comporator set recently. I measured the Base to Ogive (BTO) of three bullets I have been using in my Tikka T3x CTR chambered in 6.5 CM. The Tikka has a long throat and a magazine to match (2.915 OCL possible). I have a lot to learn about technique and...

I posted this a few days ago on the QL thread but have not heard back so appologies for also posting here. I am loading the 140 ELD. 140 RDF and 147 ELD at both 2.890 and 2.915 OCL in my 6.5 Creedmoor. Rifle is a Tikka T3xCTR with very long throat. I would like some QL guidance to determine...

i thought this might be of interest to members who are 6.5Creedmoor shooters. 140 ELD-M 2.950 OCL to jam rifling Tikka T3x CTR 140 Nosler RDF 2.991 147 ELD-M 3.009 I posted this over on Quickload thread and have not heard back yet but was surprised the Tikka has so much...

Can anyone provide a link to the verified G1/G7 BC's of the Nosler RDF line? I have searched for it on line and cant find one. Or have all the values been updated on the Nosler site already? PS, Have you found the hybrid secant/tangent ogive to be more finicky about OCL than, say a Sierra...

Do you folks have a favorite, and why? Would appreciate advice on neck turning tools also. thanks!

I have an unusual request you may or may not be able to help with. I would like to calculate likely velocity, chamber pressure, and suitable powders for the 264 USA. As you may know this is a developmental military cartridge for possible adoption by US armed forces. OCL is 2.6 inches...

I am confused as to check or uncheck the pressure corrected (or absolute) box when using Bryan Lits trajectory software. It makes a huge difference at 1000 yards (3 MOA). I check local weather data before shooting at long range. Temperature, humidity, altitude. Is weather service data...

Is there a function in QL that predicts barrel life with a particular powder flame temperature and bullet bore/weight/velocity? I am trying to extend life of my 6.5 CM by limiting my load development. Thanks!

Is anyone using the ELD-M, ELD-X or BTHP fro Hornady? Ive been loading Varget at 2600-2640 fps in a Remington 40X in Winchester brass without apparent pressure signs. the #10 Hornady manual says this is over pressure. 2460 is the highest velocity powder from a 22 inch barrel at 2550 fps. Pro...

Has Nosler released any reloading data for the RDF line? I would like to try the 70 grain .224 in an accurate 20 inch 1:8 AR Ive been shooting at Horse Ridge. The 77 grain Sierra TMK is only looking like a real world (1000 yards) G7 BC of 0.192 for me. Barley better than the standard SMK OTM...

Does anyone know who makes this powder? It is being used in the latest batch of CBC Magtech 5.56mm NATO ammunition which is loaded with the 77grain Sierra Match King OTM bullet. 'I have used 2,000 rounds or so of previous batches from CBC, both with US canister grade powders. WC732 and PR 844...

Is anyone using Bryan Litz's new Shooter app for Android phones? Or his slightly more expensive Applied Ballistics app? ($9.95 and $29.95) I have a relatively small Android screen, 2 x 3 1/2 maybe, and wondered how user frienldy it is? I have range cards for likely temperature and velocity...

Is anyone loading this bullet in 308 winchester? the Hornady manual shows only 2500 fps from a 24 inch barrel. Lapua and even Winchester brass lasts alot longer than the Hornady and I wonder if that is why the relatively low velocity? Id like to try these at 1000 yards at Horse Ridge and be...

I inherited a 22-250 Ackley improved built by Frank Glenn in Arizona from my late father, who lived near Frank and got to be buddies. This is a 26 inch medium/sporter weight stainless barrel, 1-14 twist, but I forget who made the barrel. McMillan stock. This dates back to the first nosler...
