I've been very pleased with the 195s the last few years. It's done very well for me on elk and bear. Seems like the only times I bring out the 30cals anymore is when I say "i have shot this in a while" and want to use them just because. Its probably more of a way to justify keeping them than...

I'd just order a hydraulic case forming die from whidden and save the time and components.

It's hard to not use a suppressor when you've used one. They reduce the noise significantly, reduce recoil and more often than not your accuracy will improve and velocities will increase. I've only got one rifle that I don't run a suppressor on and that's the one that travels out of state/across...

I've compared Shooter to my kestrel and when all the information is the same the results are very very close. But but like any app based calculator it's only as good as the info you put in it. They're better than they used to be. But keep in mind if you use your phone to pull the weather data it...

If you're already thinking 338 norma and I love mine btw. Why not go with a 375 ruger? The cartridge was designed for use in shorter barrels comparatively speaking.

First thing first is to be honest with yourself and ask yourself if your gear is capable? By that I mean does your gun have a load that it shoots good. So if you dont know that answer go and test your gear under ideal conditions with a solid rest and see what you get. If you're getting half...

You'll be happy with either one and they both accomplish the same thing out to 300yds. When shoot bullets of similar design you'd be hard pressed to see a difference in results. The CM will have a little less felt recoil because its usually a lighter bullet but thats about it.

I would say no because largely the 338s are as big a caliber as you can really consider for practical use. What I mean by that is, is yes the 375s are dominating but that's in the extreme competition world. Your average person and even above average person can't afford to build and feed the...

I've got somebody that says they have an 8lb jug of retumbo.... 🤞🤞I'll find out wednesday.

I have a bunch of 180s and 195s... I'm really wanting to shoot the 195s

I bought a bunch of h1000 for loading my 338 norma a while back so I have quite a bit of that. But I'm kinda holding that as a last resort. It's really not my first choice to load in a 28nos but if I have to I guess I will.

My first choice would be 8133 if I could find it. Second would be retumbo.

So I have a new 28 Nosler on the way. With the complete lack of Retunbo, IMR 8133, H1000 and N570 what would be an alternative powder folks are using?

I certain took that into consideration when considering caliber. But hopefully other precautions will reduce the risk of ending up with no ammo somewhere. I drive to most places so it's not a risk that will arise often. But I completely get what you're saying. It would be terrible to fly...

I wanted to try and find away to compare a few calibers to see which would be optimized the most in a 24" barrel... putting in more work than it should be but that's what makes it fun.
