223Ackley is cheap, fast and extremely accurate. Good choice vice a 22-250.

Best is the Barnes 129 TTSX or LRX

Alaskan Grizzly or an African free range Buffalo.

Not true. You shoot a Barnes after a load of BT’s and you’ll get nothing like your original groups with the Barnes. Whatever is in the barrel, the 2nd bullet will wear on it differently and pick up or grab the different particles. And Monos and jacketed are nowhere the same, metallurgically...

I always clean to bare bore when changing bullet metallurgy. Especially on a new barrel.

Re22 works perfectly

Leupold VX-6HD 3x18x44 or 50. Amazing Glass, 75” of vertical Reticle travel. 21oz. Can’t beat it. Or a VX-5HD 4x20x50. But the 6 is better. I think there’s also a 6HD 4x24x50. But it’ll be heavier.

And it only applies to those who neck size for segregated brass for each rifle. ALOT of reloaders only FullLength size, for whatever reasons. So it doesn’t help them. I have 2 .300WM, 300H&H, 7mmMag, 270WBY, 375 H&H, etc. I love ‘em all. But buying new I’d get a PRC, .404Jeffrey type case of...

That’s true, but only for reloaders. A factory hiys has to buy ammo that fires in any action. Therefore slop than in the non-belted new guys.

It’s less about velocity and far more about over-bore cartridges. That’s where throat erosion from excessive burn and heat that does the damage. Compare a 280 Rem at 140gr @3000fps with a 28 Nosler and 200grs @3000 fps. The 28 will shoot out the throat sooner. As to same caliber, overbore or...

And PS, I’ve got at least 100tds of 1x fired brass, trimmed, primer pocket reamed, chamfered mouth, ready to load. I’d sold my gun before reloading for in. Previous owner shot it out. I put a Krieger .300 Dakota barrel on it.

They are so similar, you should consider why the Nosler and PRC came about. The #1 deciding factor is how they establish Headspace. The STW is 100yr+ old achool and headspaces on the Magnum Ring….about a 1/4”. The New Noslers and PRC’s and my very favorite Dakota’s headspace on the shoulder...

I own both 300WSM and 270WSM. I have over 25 rifles, all in different calibers. My 270 WSM however is often my trusty “go to” setup, with a 130gr Barnes TSX. It flat drops deer DRT. Have also dropped 2Black Bear, one in his tracks, the other in 20 yds. In all cases the Barnes creates a massive...

2-2.5

215 primers are wrong first of all. Only needed above 60-62gr. Second you don’t bump up 2gr!!! Only 0.5gr max during workup loads.
