I am loading for a buddies 1980s era rem 700 in 30-06. Loading for an elk hunt and wanting
to use 180 gr bullets in partitions or Accu-bonds. Does anyone have a sure-fire powder bullet recipe?
I noticed that the Alliant web shows 76.7gr (max) of RL23 with 180 gr Partitions and Nosler 9 lists 73.5 as max ??Why would this be such a large delta ? What am I missing ?
I have been looking for RL23 data for the following
280AI with 140gr AB & 160gr Part bullets
30-06 with 180 gr bullets Nos AB
300 Win with 180 gr bullets Nos Part
Everyone has RL22 data but i am specifically looking for RL23
Does anyone know if the new Nosler book has the RL-23 powder in...
I went to my local gun club, a private place members only, I always look at the for sale board. This time I couldnt believe my eyes, a member had posted primes for sale at $100.00 per thousand ! In my opinion this reflects poorly on this member who is taking advantage of the shortages.
What...
Greetings all.
I am looking for a web based report done on the 257 AI by a civilian several years ago, the report was very well done testing several bullet weights and several powders and using two rifles a ULA m20 and a re-chambered Browning - if I recall. My loading notes and copy of this...
I have a rem 700 ADL that was a 300 win. I am going to rebuild the gun and am trying to figure out what & how it should be set up.
I think that the Stock I will buy is the B&C Ti Mountain as the price point is good. I will have the gunsmith who re-barrels the action bed it and open up the...
Update. lowered to 81.1 of 7828ssc and my velocities went up
-With the Part from 3,053 (first outing) to 3,096 fps and a 3/8" & 1/2" group and still had flattened primers 18 fps e/s
-With the ABs from 3,071(first outing) to 3,109 fps and 1-1/14 groups "some" sticky bolt lift on one round and...
Gents I took advantage of the good weather today and hit the range with some new loads and discovered some data I wasnt expecting.
200 gr AB in 300 wtby
81.5 gr 7828 ssc a mid range load in the Nosler Bible, fed 215 and Virgin Norma brass.
- the bolt was sticky on a few rounds
- the primers were...
Ive run the load over my shooters chrony on 2 separate occasions. The load is Nosler book max with RL 19 and a Rem 700 classic 22" bbl. I was surprised, very surprised.
Bolt lift wasnt a problem, primers were identical to lower velocity loads, no change in appearance as I worked up from low...
I am working up a load for elk. I have been working with 180 gr bullets for a few years and have had mediocre results. I have found the powder may have been at fault as it was deteriorating. So ... I am starting over.
After reading about meat damage I am leaning towards the 200 gr AB as it...
I've been working on a 7x57 load for a buddy with 150 LR AB's and able to get 2,900 at the muzzle with no pressure indicators.
With the intention of being a 350 yard or less range for Elk do you guys think the bullet will perform well? If I go any heavier I will give up velocity and I am not...
