    ELDM lot-to-lot variation

    I pay less for Hornady, and I expect less because of it. Sometimes I get great results, and sometimes I'll see more variation than others for sure. If I were paying Berger prices it would irritate me...but I'm $0.15 - 0.25 less per bullet. As someone who recreationally shoots 250 - 650 yards...

    Sorry man...When I said "different barrel", I should have stated that it was a different cartridge too. I've been playing with it in .260 Rem. I really think it is too slow for the GT as it is basically H4831 burn rate. N150 though is the bomb-diggity in my GT.

    N160 is right there with burn rate as well. You'll most likely compress the load before you run into pressure signs.

    Live Stream Question

    Actually, incorporating all of it (couple questions, topic of the day/week etc...) included into every live stream might not be a bad thing to keep it from getting stagnated. Might even include a "meme of the week". I hear that there are some good ones about @akmike47 ... like that time he...

    My arms and neck just get red AF, and then I have to get little skin cancers cut off of me. The tan only happens after my 5-6th burn.

    You just made me realize that I'm sitting on about 7.5lbs of IMR-4955 (H4831 equivalent). Might have to do a little testing with that down the road. TBH, I have the 4955 because it shoots so well out of my 7RM with 150gr bullets.

    Yep, although I changed only about 2-3 years ago. N133, N135, N150, and now recently N160 and N568. Hodgdon, IMR, and definitely Alliant are all but dead to me these days. Unfortunately I think I've somehow developed a powder collection in the process... Up to the legal limit for storage...

    Any reason you never see builds on Winchester Actions?

    I am going to have to keep that in mind. I JUST ordered another stock for my third SPR last week and hated that I couldn't find anything for the inlet on Manners' site. If the one I ordered doesn't fit me right for its intended role, I will be giving you guys a call. Thank you for your...

    Just cleaned after 100 rounds of N160 in a different barrel yesterday. I was expecting far worse from what I've read... Very limited experience with that powder so far, but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

    Did you inlet that Manners stock in the bottom photos Sir, or was that done at Manners? Really been wanting a T5A for a while.

    Well played Sir...

    Tall scope mounts/rings still make your $5-10K rifle look like you had it assembled at the big box gun store by a guy who keeps arguing about the superiority of the .410 shotgun as a home defense weapon. And I collect handguns like purses... not rifles.

    .260 Remington

    I shot (5) more of the 130gr Norma just now @ 250 yards. I split the seating depth difference, and managed a 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inch group (can't tell what is an old mark and what is new on this target)...so about a half-minute again and in-line with the 100 yard tests from yesterday. It took .6...

    N160 is one of the cooler-burning powders around, and will absolutely wear less on your barrel than the comparable N555. Here's a chart that I still have on hand. That being said, H4350 is pretty good too regarding temps.

    .260 Remington

    It is slow. I've yet to hear of anyone breaking any speed records with a Sako/Tikka barrel though...usually the opposite. :D I've gone as high as 45.3 without any signs of pressure forming...but accuracy was starting to fall apart again, and I doubt that I'd get back into it before I did run...
