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 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...
Gents, I recently contacted the manufacturer of IMR powders over a brown cloud of dust thats been visible each time I pour IMR7828 into my measure. I have been reloading for 40 years and never gave deterioration a thought. All my powder was relatively new, never had ancient powder. Well, so I...

How do you deal with cooling the bbl in warm -hot weather.
Due to problems with an old load process I now need to develop a load for use this sept for an elk hunt, now that the dog days of summer are here (80 deg F or more each day). I have been waiting 10-15 min between shots to cool the bbl...

All, I have a 257AI that loves AA3100, sadly I am down to my last 1.5 lbs ! Has anyone found a replacement for 3100? I am using 110 gr ABs?
Also anyone use Nosler +P brass to blow out for the 257AI and have comments? I have been using R-P 257 brass with good results, the prep work is tedious !!
