memtb, yes, I thought about that, but wanted to stay away from the 375, as I've taken all of the larger african animals that I wanted. So didn't want to take a large caliber. Although that will be my last resort. I have solids and expanding bullets loaded for the 375, and both have very close...

Memtb, and Coyote Shadow Tracker thank you. adam 32+P, the tiny 10 consists of 10 small antelope species in Africa. If you google Tiny 10 Africa, it will provide a list of all the tiny 10. Bret Graveline, thank you very much. Thank you sp6X6. fordy, thank you much. Took a look at the impala...

Wow, Hand Skills, I never thought about that idea. Great idea though. I will definitely consider this, when I digest others input. Do you have a load that you use for it?

Happy Holidays To All! Need some advice on the selection of a bullet for the Remington 223. I will be hunting the Tiny 10 in Africa, and was going to take my Tikka T3 Lite in .223 Remington for these animals. Would like to use a bullet that doesn't expand much so it won't create a large exit...

I own 2 tikka t3 lites in 7mm Rem Mag. no complaints. Very accurate. Only thing, is one of em is particular on powder as the velocity is consistaantly much lower than book velocity.....but I rather have the accuracy that it provides.

Sockey66, if you find the problem, could you please post it. I have the same issue with my 7mm Rem Mag. I shoot an older model Tikka T3 Lite in stainless steel barrel. I believe the barrel is 23 inches. I shoot a Nosler Partition 160 grain with 63 grains of H4831sc and Federal 215 mag...

Due to my inexperience, I have just learned that to... Thank you!!!

Sorry for the late response, I don't monitor my computer often. Yes, the barrel was clean.

Baldhunter, yep, that is why I'm looking to purchase a magneto, when they become available. Vincemule, the load I am currently using is from an old Nosler reloading book, and at that time, I believe was the max load. Thank you for the load info. XSN10s, I've shot deer and goats at just under...

Salmonhead, yes, my Caldwell always has error readings or show velocities that I know are totally wrong when there is a heavy overcast. I appreciate all of the advice. Aloha!!!

KH Outdoors, Thank you for the advice. Although I've had the rifle for some time, I estimate only about 300 - 350 rounds went through it. I only use it for hunting. Had good luck at the beginning on finding the load, so not very many bullets were used to develop the load. Everytime, I...

I never played with the overall length before, and just wanted to see if it would be more accurate if I got it closer to the lands. I got the original length from the nosler manual. Like most have said, back to the drawing board. I will go and shoot the original load this weekend to see what...

Hello to all you reloaders. I need some advice. I have a 7mm Rem Mag in Tikka T3 Lite Stainless steel barrel. I have been reloading for this rifle for at least 10 years with a Nosler Partition 160 grain bullet, with Federal 215 Primers, and 63 grains of H4831sc. Used all manual specs, 3.29...

Hello, I have utilized the Hornady puller for many years and really love it. In fact, I just pulled 7 338 Ultra Mag bullets, and it didn't leave any marks on the bullet heads. Had bad experiences with inertia pullers. The Hornady works great!!! Would highly recommend it.

Hello All, I reload for my hunting rifles, and would like opinions on what is the most accurate chronograph. Is the Labraradar hype true? I will be using it to chronograph reloads while developing new loads for the 338 RUM and 7mm Rem Mag. Will be using it primarily for velocity ladder...
