What OCL have you had accuracy with using 140 grain PT,s with H4891sc? 3.340" is way out there and most of the OEM I have ammo is around 3.280". What is Nosler's ammo 140 OCL at? I was thinking of 3.300" and shorten them to tune for where my gun likes them.
Is 2900 fps realistic in a 22"...
Looking forward to shooting sporting clay's when the temp is 60 F or darn near to it. My yard is starting to green up and the next week is mid to upper 50's. We will see a lot of frosty mornings but I think winter is over here in the upper mit. NO ice on the lakes, sandhills, robins, and...
My friend and I have only been using our 410's this year and it is paying off. We only use chokes that we would use while hunting and it shows off which are best and their limitations. Yes the 40 plus yard shoots do get away but not all and some get broke just fine.
We were smashing 30-35 yards...
Both are listed Alliant loads that actual fit in the hulls and crimp nice. If you have load shot shell for long you many listed loads will not fit they may stack too low or too high.

What is the longest OCL that you have found that will function flawlessly through a REM700 short action magazine (700SA Classic).
Issue is if a 200AB could be use for a 358win chambered in 700SA Classic.
I finally desided its time to up grade from a 16 year old VX2 2-7x33mm to a new VX3 2.5-8x36mm. The VX2 will go to my scope less 35 Whelen which should be a good fit. Its VX3 1.5-5x20mm went to my 700/358win when it was built.
Surpised Cabelas does not carry it. I will check with my local gun...

Absolutly the best load for sporting clays, quail, wood cock , & grouse. Great pattern density. With the extra 100 fps and pattern density this out performs ammo with #7.5 out to 30 yards. Which...
Right from Alliant. Fit is perfect and it works great. 308 pellets with #8 and about 265 of #7.5. Great load for clays,and grouse or smaller birds out to say 35 yards. Ya I have drop many birds with or with out feathers at 40 yards too. And that would be a second shot with the tighter choke. I...
Besides reloading for center fire rifles I shoot clays twice a week for fun in the warm months. I reload shotgun ammo for target and hunting. Seems like there should be more guys that also shoot shotguns and reload for them. Maybe I should share some of my loads in the future?

A friend just bought a 3-barrel set rifle 308win/300win/338lapua. For the 308 what wieght bullet should he load, 175, 190, or heavier? He can shoot up to 500 yards localy and His is going to take a sniper/reloading class for long range shooting too.
I told him Lapua brass and Federal 210M...
With my straight from the book loads using the Hornady 45 grain Spire Point, I have a 5-shot group of .82". If i throw out the first shot from a oiled barrel the flier its .52". Did this after I sighted it in.
Soon as I measure the distance to the lands the plan is to load up some .01" longer...
Picked up my Pac-Nor match grade rebarred 700. Looks great deep dark bluing to match the factory finish. Clean it oiled it and chambered resized empty case. Cuts in the mouth and a large dint too. Tried a dummy round and it will not chamber? I just put it away would investagte it tomorrow.
So...
I have tired AA1680, Lilgun, and H4198 and did settle on H4198 to get a higher load dencity. I should get my rebarreled 221FB back in a week or two and it will be basicly a new gun as far as what loads it will like with the new barrel. I am sticking with 40gr HP's and the 45gr hornady spire...
LVR is listed for the 338Fed with the 210gr partition and its fast!
Has anyone tried it in the 358Win with the 225gr PT? Seems it may just top 2500fps or more. Same case bore to bullet weight pretty close.
Nosler please test this powder it could be a good reason for added 225gr PT sales. And...
Just received an E-mail from Pac-Nor my 221 rebarring project has just left their facility to go to their gun smith for blueing and bedding work. Should have it in may. I will post when I get some loads worked up for it.
Used my new Trap machine for the first time Sunday. Really had a great time and it works perfectly. Its a Atlas ATA-AT50 (osilating base) on their cart so I can move it with my ATV. Put just short of 200 clay target through it. I can see I need the wireless control for it which will better than...
Thought I would break the 358 cal bullet out to its own post.

Just sent my 700LM 221 Rem to PAC-NOR to get a new super match barrel put on it. Standard SAAMI chamber, three groove 1:14, 24" factory contour in blue. This was a used gun I bought that never did better than about 1.25" with any load. Looks great on the outside. I could never just neck size...
Took my three deer rifles out to sight in for Nov 15 deer opener. After a fowling shot in to the dirt bank with my 358win with 225gr PT's the next three shots centered the bulls eye at 100 yards with a 1.3" group (done). Next was my 336D 35 rem and the 200gr CLRN's at 2188fps printed 3/4" high...
