    Temperature sensitive Powders

    ^about this much. ΔV [in Ft/sec]/°F I didn't compile this chart and don't know where it originated from, but my experience with Reloder, IMR, and Hodgdon powders leads me to believe it's somewhat accurate. Also read https://www.handloadermagazine.com/rifle-powder-temperature-sensitivity

    300 win mag

    Identical to my experience with ELDx bullets out of a 270 on two deer. They turned into a grenade when they hit the first strand of hair, I immediately relocated the remainder of the bullets into the garbage can where they belong. As far as I'm concerned they're a match bullet that has a...

    Who uses a kestrel?

    I have always had the opinion that this is nothing more than fancy marketing strategy. Berger's marketing team: “we designed them for 90% energy transfer in the first few inches” What I hear: “we figured out how to market our thin-jacketed cup and core target bullets as hunting bullets even...

    Wall Tent discussion - researching, want input from experienced users
