    Primer costs....very sad

    Yesterday I paid 13.96 for 400 cci450 at a local store. Paid 6.99 per 100 for CCI br4 a couple days before that at a different store. Here the primers come in very rarely and are gone in minutes. That said I have still managed to grab about 5 thousand in the last couple months by checking the...

    7-300 win 180eldm/RL26/300y ladder results

    If it was me I would load up some more at 71.5 R26 and 72 H1000 and group them. Have you tried IMR 7828 or Retumbo?

    308 vs 338 Federal for Elk <450 yds

    Pick one and practice then go hunting. My last two Elk I shot with my 308 win and 165 Sierras. The one before that was with a 30-06 and 175 Barnes LRX. I have also shot moose, black bear and Dalls sheep with a 308. The moose was with the 165 XBT at 2660 fps muzzle velocity.

    44 mag Speer 240 Plinker

    Has anyone used these on deer? The box says plinker but the bullets look like they would hammer a deer.

    What brand of bullets are these?

    The hemispherical base looks nothing like the Scenar base.

    low velocities from 100gr 25-06.

    53 grains of Reloader 17 gave me 3300 fps with the 100 grain Hornady in my 22" Howa. 50.5 H100V was around 3100 with a 117 Sierra SPBT I loaded the 117 Sierra this year with 57 Grains of 7977 and I don't know the speed but they worked well on a couple whitetail does.

    30 cal e-tip. 180 and 182 grain?

    Those were all my guesses too. I think its kinda strange that no one actually knows what is going on there.

    30 cal e-tip. 180 and 182 grain?

    What is the difference between these two weights? Is one designed for a specific cartridge?

    Anyone have experience w/ hogdon superformance powder?

    I have seen SP outperform other loads in a couple cartridges. Sometimes its WOW sometimes its meh. I used it in a 300 WSM with a 53 tsx sabot. I hit my skyscreen but the reading was 5000 fps. I did not shoot any more to verify as I figured my next move would be to vaporize the chrony.

    I see Hodgdon lists 44-48.7 for an 80 grain bullet. I used 46.5 Superperformance with 85 Barnes TSX. Remington cases and federal 210M primers.

    300 RUM

    With a 200 ABLR and Retumbo I would expect 3200 FPS. I have owned 5 300 RUMS and they would all shoot 200 grain bullets to 3200 FPS with Retumbo. I shot 200 partitions, 200 speers, 200 Barnes x's and 200 Sierras all to 3200 with Retumbo. I also shot 220 grain matchkings at 3050 and 240...

    Nosler 26

    True. The case capacity will still be close though. Its too close to be able to guess the case just knowing the Nosler case has 93 grains capacity. I still think it is a 375 Ruger case LOL.

    Nosler 26

    All the other forums are convinced it is a necked down 375 Ruger. Which to me makes the most sense as the Ruger case has 96 grains case capacity and the Nosler has 93. The 7mm Dakota has 95 though so who knows. I have not seen any case dimensions that show the case body in front of the rim.

    26 Nosler?

    So it does have a rebated rim then?
