Just thought I would post a couple of pics of Hornady bullets I have recovered this past few hunts. Thought you guys might be interested. The 139SST was recovered from the fallow buck below. It was a really thick and strong animal. The shot was taken from a 7mm08 at about 90 yards in the scrub...

Hi Guys, I have been running a load with 55 grain projectiles which have been very accurate for me. The little 223 is a cartridge I am looking to get to know a little better, it is such a fun little round. With the 64 grain sierra gamechangers, I suspect varget will work well, have H4350 but...

Hi Guys, I finally got my 7mm08 barrel threaded onto my rifle and finally got around to shooting it. Seems to go pretty nicely through the tedious run in process. I have been using Hornady 139sst in Norma brass. Two loads stood out, 42.5 and 44 grains of Varget (AR2208 as we know it here)...

Just wondering if anyone has done any chronograph work on the 7mm08 regarding Barrel Length. I am dropping off a 243 to get a new barrel in the aforementioned cartridge and haven't settled on a barrel length yet. Most of my hunting is in reasonably open country where shots can range from circa...

Just one for sitting around the campfire. What cartridge do you think has been pushed to the side that really should be more popular?

Hi Guys, Just finished a range session trying to get my 300wm to a place I am happy with. I was playing with the Sierra 175 Tipped Matchking and settled on 77 grains of H4831/AR2213 as we know it. 26 inch barrel, and was delivering an honest 3/4 inch group. (Actually be interested in QL data...

Hi Guys, Hoping I can get a QL for a mate who is shooting a 257 weatherby. He is pushing the Barnes 101LRX at 3,840fps out of a 26 inch tube. This just wreaks of excessive pressure to me. He is loading 77 grains of H1000. Still shoots very accurately, but I am concerned there is a ticking time...

Of all your rigs, is there one cartridge you just really don’t like loading for. For me it used to be the 22.250 before I got rid of it. Liked the cartridge but case stretch was painful.

Sorry to impose a second time. I was also testing the 6mm Rem with 70 grain Nosler BT's just to mix it up. I was running Varget which seemed to give me better groups than the H4895 I originally started with. The rifle is a Remington VLS with a 26 inch barrel. I have tidy group at 42 grains and...

Hi Guys, I recently bought a Tikka T3 for my son in 6.5x55. It has a 22 inch barrel and shoots beautifully with the Hornady 129sst using Norma brass. He has two accuracy nodes, 1 at 48 grains of H4813sc and one at 49.5 grains of H4813sc. The cartridge is to the industry C.O.L. I ma just...

I have been looking at the various reloading manuals and there seems to be some wide ranging expectations around this bullet weight and velocities. Recipes seem to vary from mid 2,700fps up to almost 3,000fps. What is a realistic expectation staying within the Saami limitations? Thoughts?

HI Guys, First time poster, long time reader. I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with some quickload data for my rifle. It has a 26 inch barrel and I am using H4350 with the hornady 150eldx in nosler brass. It has a really nice sweet spot at 53 grains, but 55 grains is also really...
