    Range Report Any DOPE on the .308 150 gr TTSX? True G1 BC?

    Did you ever calculate a BC at the further yardages?

    Help with safe fire form load Please

    Will using the much smaller win mag load be safe or should I worry about too little of a charge?

    Help with safe fire form load Please

    The biggest reason is because I don't have the components at this time. I have a huge excess of IMR 4831 powder and some 150 grain speers that I don't plan on ever hunting with or even developing a load for that matter. I'm running thin on H1000, Retumbo & have no premium hunting bullets at...

    Help with hunting load advice for 300 Norma

    I'm looking at loading up either the 180 accubond, 190 Acc. LR or 210 Acc. LR or 175 or 200 grain LRX for a 300 Norma Mag. I'm also running low on Retumbo & H1000. With our next hunt being an elk hunt coming up in October (my wife's tag), I'm figuring now is not the time to be too picky with...

    Help with safe fire form load Please

    I would like to fireform the rest of my 300 Norma brass w IMR4831 (l have way too much of this and too little of my other powders). How much should I use to safely shoot 150 gr Speer cheapos?

    A minute high at 610 and 1050?

    I have not. I guess I assumed a brand new March would be on.

    A minute high at 610 and 1050?

    Thanks to all who have replied, I will make a few tweaks to the velocity initially to make the profile fit at 600, then see if I can't figure out how to adjust the G1 on my Kestrel Horus to reach a slightly lower BC once it falls to the lower velocities.

    A minute high at 610 and 1050?

    Thanks nso, I am seeing rather significant velocity swings in various calibers (old beta chrony), but I typically just exclude the major outliers from my spread and chalk it up due to reading errors (see attached image). On my 6.5, I am seeing exact matches at both distances with the actual...

    A minute high at 610 and 1050?

    I tried some BC confirmation testing today and ran into some puzzling conditions. First, I zeroed my 338 edge at 100 yards while gathering roughly a dozen velocity readings. I then backed out to 610 yards and 1053 yards, using my Kestrel with Horus, I plugged in the G1 of .818 for the OTMs. I...

    338 Edge Bertram Brass Shoulder inconsistancies. Fireform First?

    100 Rounds of Bertram Brass are in from Defensive Edge. When I measured the shoulders with the Hornady .420 Headspace Gauge I found them to have 0.009" of variance, ranging from 2.456" to 2.465". I would like to be able to do some initial load development without having to fireform custom...
