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...
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...
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...
Anyone ever work with this cartridge/bullet combo? Wanting something 'light-weight' in an old Krag I have.
For powders I have:
BLC (2)
H335
Tac
IMR 4064
IMR 4350
Varget
Hornady cases (new, unfired) WLR primers.
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...
I've been working on this one for a while. Finally got to give her the 'ultimate' test.
The rifle Win Model 70 24" Pac-nor barrel:
4 shots on paper with a dose of IMR4350 @ 100 yards:
Ran a few over the Magnetospeed - averaged 2794
The ultimate test - Live game - Axis doe @ 120 lbs live...
I have a new one in the flock - Mod. 70 LA 6.5 Swede with 24" barrel from Pac-nor. Was wondering if anyone had any real-world experience with the 3 powders mentioned and 140's?
Just wondering what QL shows as the case capacity for 25-06?
Cases I'm interested in are:
Remington (R-P)
Winchester
Hornady
Norma.
Just was wondering how much difference there is in them.
Thanks in advance.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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?
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...
