I loaded them in my 06 jumped them and had them at max load. They grouped real good for the effort I put into the load. I didn't mess with the seating depth (set to recommended) and I only put together a couple of loads at the max end. They shot under 3/4" with no tuning. I decided on a...

I have been searching for data where somebody tried this load and almost nothing. I know most prefer the 120NBT or one of the 140 grain bullets and then it seems like everybody jumps straight to the 162 and 168s. I have some 154SSts and RL17 but I haven't put any together yet. I think my rifle...

70 ish

and forgot to add win brass Fed 215M primer 2860 fps in the summer here in Az and 2805 fps today Nov (prob 25 degrees cooler) w/ cheap chorny

This post is old but 44.5 grains OAL 2.865" gave me 1" at 200 yards with my weatherby vanguard

I thought about picking up some for my .30-06. Have you guys loaded Big Game or Hunter for this caliber?

I know this isn't exactly what you are looking for but, I wacked my coues last year with a 168 AMAX out of my .30-06 at about 140 yds through the shoulders. Mv was 2800 fps. He jumped once when hit and was done. Wrecked both of his shoulders (didn't have to track him but not so good for the...

I take one of my fired cases and seat the bullet longer than I know will be acceptable then I chamber it slowly. The bullet slides back under the pressure. My fired cases have enough neck tension to hold a bullet tight enough to do this. If they didn't, I would slightly neck size the case. I...

Thanks for the replies. I think I have it set right and I am looking forward to going shooting!

Thanks for the response. I have read on these and other forums that guys really liked the collet die and that is why I bought it. It just made me uncomfortable when the bullet seated so easily. Now, I am looking forward to testing the new rounds I put together. Thanks again.

I just bought a Lee Collet die for my .30-06. I was putting together some 185 VLDs and I had some brass I had resized with my RCBS dies and I had some brass I sized using my new Lee die. What I noticed is the brass resized with the RCBS was a lot tighter. The VLDs felt like they were falling...

I just found this again and realized I messed up. I was search for info on this topic b4 I posted and must have looked at a old post in this section b4 created this thread. Sorry about the confusion if a admin could move it that would be great. And thanks for the replies. I had thought about...

I want a 7mm that I would shoot 160 - 175 grn bullets out of (VLDs, Amaxs and maybe partitions). I was looking at the 280 Rem, 7mm Rem Mag, 7mm WSM (and others that you could find factory ammo for). Some of my concerns were VLD bullets OAL fitting in magazines and if one cart. was (with all...

Is Accurate XMR 4350 temp. sensitive? I did a search and didn't find anything. Thanks, Chris
