    Which reloading press would you choose given the following

    Lyman T7 Lee 4-hole turret or RCBS Turret I'm wanting to load a bit faster when I'm loading for my 223/5.56 and for the 41 Mag. Wouldn't shoot either enough to warrant going blue nor do I have the bills to buy one. I have an RCBS Rockchucker that does my more precision stuff for my bolt guns...

    Where to start - 256 Newton yet again

    Ok, I've got the rifle. Finally got some dies. Making brass out of .270 cases (I've got 25-06 rifles). I have H & I 4831, I4350, RL23 and others. Just trying to figure out where to start a load. I have a few of the 123 gr Scenars to play with as well as nearly 2 boxes of 129 gr ABLR. Any...

    Bucket List score!

    One of my uncles had a couple of Newton Rifles. Mauser actions but with an interrupted thread instead of the double-lug bolt on most mausers. Double-set trigger that's a hair's breath to go off when set. One was a 256 Newton made in Buffalo the other was a 22 Newton if I remember correctly...

    Ultimate Test - 142 LRAB part 2

    I also load the 142 LRAB in my 264 WM. Managed to drop a good sized elk in Colorado 2nd season. First shot @ 137 yards blew through both shoulders and exited. Entrance (inside of shoulder) And Exit Even with this damage, he got back up on his feet so I plugged him again. I nicked a twig...

    Took a trip out to Whittington

    A friend and myself took a trip up to Whittington Center over the weekend. Really enjoyed popping steel on the 500 m silhouette range and even took some shots at the white buffalo at 1123 yards. Took me 4 shots to hit with one of my 25-06's, then figured just for grins, I'd shoot the 243 at it...

    IMR 7977 and the 25-06

    Managed to load up a few and try this new Enduron powder out with some 110 gr ABs. Results were rather good in my book. Started at 56 gr and worked up to 59 gr. At 58.5 I got a 3-shot group just under an inch. At 59 grains I got a 4-shot group that measured under .5" I then loaded up 15 of...

    Another QL request (due to my error)

    Ok, I picked up a 1 pound of IMR4451 to try in my 25-06 without writing down what I needed. I was wanting something new to try with some 110 AB's. Checking Hodgden, they don't show the 110's, just 100's and 117's. Could someone run QL with IMR 4451, Hornady brass, WLR and Nosler 110 AB's in a...

    117 SGK & RL 26 - little dissappointing

    I found a VERY accurate load with RL 26 and the 117 SGK. 3 shot groups under .5" out of my 22" factory Remington. Ran 9 loads across the chrony yesterday, average speed, well, take a look: Min 2611 Max 2676 Avg 2634 S-D 24.5 That isn't max load yet but it sure is slow for a 25-06 load. At...

    RL 26 - What have you tried it in? Results? And

    where did you find some to try out? I'm thinking of this in a couple or three rifles I have - 25-06, 243, 264 WM and whatever else I can put it in. Saw the thread on the 280AI luck folks are having, just wondering what else has been tried?

    Wonder if....?

    They'll ever make any 257 110 AB's again? Or, have they been discontinued? Time to check out something else I guess.

    Testing 90 gr AB and the 85 gr Partition

    A couple of weeks ago I started the load workup on a new Weatherby Vanguard S2 243. I loads with the 85 gr partition, 90 gr Accubond, 95 gr Balistic Tip and a 100 gr Sierra GK. Though I didn't try a bunch of different powders on each, after the results I had, I'm sticking with the AB's and the...
