I’m surprised to hear that. The packaging on mine was awesome

$20/100 for a .30cal bullet from a quality manufacturer......I'll probably regret only buying 1k at that price.....

Hate I missed this....seconds please

Started at 57gr and went up to 59.5 in 0.5gr increments. No pressure signs, I'll work up to the VV max of 60.3 next weekend. 3 shots at 59.5 gr gave 2801fps avg with an ES of 15.6 and an SD of 6.6. It was not the best group on paper. 3 shots at 59gr was the best group on paper. 0.86 center to...

Got the 180 elite hunters loaded up to test. 57-60 gr if N160. I plan to test them tomorrow. I’ll update with results.

yeah....Garmin makes it easy 58.5 gave me 2802 in a 22" barrel......VV got 2854 at 58.6 in a 24" barrel

Just got done shooting the 168's. Started at 56 and worked up to 58.5. 58 and 58.5 had decent ES and SD. Need to play with seating depth. I'll load up some of the 180's and see what happens with those.

I have some N160 that I'm going to try to work up a good 30-06 load with Berger bullets. Currently, my only source for data for VV powder with Berger bullets is online. I will be rectifying that as soon as possible. So, here's my issue.... When you pull up VV online load data for 30-06 with...

My LGS had Fed 215m in stock for $12.99/100 500 limit. I bought my limit. Wasn't thrilled about the price but they were there. First time I'd seen them in quite a while. Maybe LR magnum's will start showing up again

As usual, I do a bad job expressing myself. What I meant by that statement is that I’m not interested in pushing the limits just to get speed. I don’t want to blow up a gun or my face just to try to get a certain outcome. I appreciate everyone’s input, expertise and opinions. Thank you for...

I would definitely be happy with that performance, a 215gr at 2850fps. The reality of it is, 99% of the time the only animal I’ll be hunting is whitetail. I’ve avoided saying that because I don’t want to get “whitetail” recommendations. I would love to hunt true big game. However, being in...

That's probably the best course of action....however....I've decided I want to build something with this stock. It's a bad idea, but my life is full of'em.

I get what you're saying, 100%. If I knew all of that, I wouldn't need to ask questions. There's things I think I know, and things I don't. And then there's the things that I don't know that I don't know. There's probably a lot more of those than the first 2. I know I'm building a short action...

That's a great question, one I'm trying to figure out. Again, one of the things that I don't know enough about to provide you folks with all the info needed.

I purposely haven't stated what I plan to shoot with it. This isn't about a specific target animal. I want to focus on the heaviest bullet, as fast as possible. That said, I'm not hunting in Alaska anytime soon, but if I was, I'd take my 338 win mag. I have multiple calibers that would cover...
