Haven't chrono'd the loads yet. A lot of guys have been telling me about 7828. I may try some when I run out of Retumbo. So far retumbo has been tremendous with the accubonds. The 162 AMAX shot best with 75 grains of h1000. the hotter load killed the accuracy. I sticking with the AB's I really...

I got some 1/2" groups with 160 AB's today, but the Amax shoot terible in my gun. Buckmasters rifle liked the AB's better as well. I want to chrono my AB loads to seem what velocity I'm getting. I'm going to back off to 79 and see if my groups get better.

Buckmaster and me are shooting & hunting buddies. Look like we are going to the range tomorrow!

How did the Accubond and Amax group?

I was wondering if any of you fellas use these powders with the 160 accubonds. I'm trying to develop a load with these two powders and was wondering about results you guys may have had. Any load data greatly appreciated!

How much does it cost to ship it back to Midway? I'd call Midway and make them send me a shipping label. Thats BS. Also, call RCBS and speak to Brian. He's been real helpful and perhaps a bit higher up the food chain that whoever you've been speaking to.

Re: Horus Vision \"Falcon\" Scope? You might find it a little busy for Hunting. Nightforce with an NP-R2 reticle or an IOR with MP-8 might be a better choice. I really love the IOR's for the money.

Why don't you just bring it (or mail it) back to where you bought it and exchange it? Maybe you have a bad unit. If you look over on benchrest.com or 6mbr.com (I forget which) someone was having problems with there unit. It really is a fantastic machine and you should be enjoying it not having...

No, but Giraud does make a meplat trimmer blade and bullet holder. Unfortunately he only make them in .22, 6mm, 6.5mm, and 30 Cal. giraudtool.com. If you do get one buy some hornady or forster die locking rings to replace the nuts that come on the caseholders. This way you can lock it place...

I agree with Dave. This thing is awesome. A couple of time it threw a tenth or 2 over, but it has an indicator when that happens. It happened about three times with h1000. Don't know why but I've loaded plenty of rounds and it only happened those few times. Great piece of equiptment! Dave if...

If I was shooting a deer at 50 yards, I would be a little concerned if I was using bergers. The jacket is real thin. The matchking is a heavier jacket and if I was using a match bullet that may be used for a close shot matchking would be my choice over berger. There are also some custom bullets...

There is no doubt about the terminal performance of barnes. I haven't shot any since the blue bullets and they sucked. Worked great but sucked in accuracy. I'm about to try a 308 load tomorrow with 168 tsx and ramshot tac. This is my first time trying them since in 3 years. I'll give them 1 more...

Jon A, I would rather have a 900 than a 650 bc of course. My point, however, was simply that if your are shooting long distance that you need a bullet with a high BC and you need to know your drops based on real time shooting, not just a chart on a computer. I did not mean that it irrelavant...

Lovdasnow, thank you for your well wishes. Ballistic64, our profit comes out of the $10 after viewing and editing the video footage. That is the only source of revenue. We are not going to sell advertising on the site and we want to keep a free site for members. Do you really think I'm going to...

I you guys don't mind me chiming in here... Pure BC is not all that important as the BC calculated from drops. Even though it may not be the TEXTBOOK method as Lerch put it, it works. Sierra is the only company that posts BC changes with velocity changes. Even that is not 100% accurate as BC...
