I appreciate your experience as well as 12 or so of your comrads. Only one of them used something other than 120's, and he uses 139's. I think your information confirms that I will also use 120's as my new barrel is a 22'' with a 1 in 9.5 twist. You probably just saved me a lot of wasted rounds...

I appreciate the load data and will keep it for the future. Right now I have a couple of pounds of IMR 3031 and think the load data that I found calls for 26.5 grains pushing 300 fps slower than what you have there with a 140 grain bullet. I'm going to try to work out a good load using my stock...

Hey man there ain't nothing wrong with a savage. I used a remington 742 for years that belonged to my dad. It jammed on me on a piece of bullet jacket down in the twisting bolt and I got scared to use it because they don't make parts for them anymore. I replaced it with a Savage 110 in 270 win...

I own a 270 wsm in winchester 70 and I have never bought a round for it. I reload with 56 grains of H414 with a 140 grain Hornandy interlock. I personally like the accuracy of the 140 grain bullet but will not buy the hornady brand again as I shot 3 of my whitetails this year and dropped 2 of...

I am about to start reloading 7mm08 and I am interested in talking with someone who has experience with this caliber in different bullet weights. I have some 140 grain spbt and I am interested in another weight in either 120 grain or 160 grain. I am a big whitetail hunter and I suspect the...
