Actually....what I feel......mostly.....is recoil.

Your numbers seem pretty realistic, give or take a little. Just remember every barrel is different. Some give higher velocity and some lower.

When a bullet travels down a barrel, it causes what is called harmonics. Harmonics are the vibrations of the barrel similar to a tuning fork. Bullets, brass, primers, different powders, amount of powder and bullet seating depth all affect harmonics. When one or more of these components are...

I have used standard Winchester (WLR) primers in my 300 win mag for years with no problems.Winchester has the hottest standard primer that I know of. The main difference is the cup thickness. The mag primer being thicker of course to handle the higher pressures of the mag calibers. I have never...

the answer to your question is yes. It doesnt hurt a thing to use mag primers in non-mag caibers. Just be aware that you MUST rework the load up from the beginning. Mag primers generally cause more pressure than standard primers with the same load. Also some manuals recommend them for use with...

Check the OAL of the cases after you resize them. I can almot guarantee that they will be slightly longer than they started out. If you can get your hands on some Lake City brass, try some of them. BUT be careful with miltary brass as it is much thicker and loads will have to be worked back up...

JD, Thanks again. You're right , I need to pick up a copy. :roll: Rflshootr

JD, What velocity is listed at max load for H414? And if you don't mind, loads and velocity for varget. Thank for your time and help. It is appreciated. Rflshootr

Need a load for 120 bt and H414 or Vhit N150. TIA

I agree with JD338-----go with 41.0grs of IMR 4350 and a 100 grainer. I have seen this load work very well in several 243's.

It's a 6.5x284 Win. Douglas premium on a Savage action and laminated stock. Working up a load right now. Shooting in the mid to high .3's. Trying to get it a little better.

The link for 2nds isn't working. Any other suggestions?

Is the 6.5 100gr BT bullet substantial enough for shoulder shots on whitetail at a muzzle velocity of 3400-3500 fps? Or Should I be concerned with break-up?

Sierra's program shows a 222 Rem w/50 bullet and vv133 as 19.8grs start and 22.6 grs as MAX

Thanks Fred. After looking at other data I went with 46.5 grns to start. judging by pressure signs, It looks to be about a medium load. It gave me 3261fps average velocity from a 25 inch barrel. Will work up from there and post results. Thanks again guys. Rflshootr

I'm in need of a starting load for a 6.5x284 using lapua brass, 100 grain BT, WLR primer and VV N150 powder. TIA
