I love my m77. .380 groups without much effort and new to reloading. Trying the 39 gr next.

Got a chance to shoot some this week. Loaded 37 and 38 gr of IMR 4895 with 85 gr sierra BTHP. No high primers this time. Guess it was a low pressure problem. .485 group. Not bad

Thats funny. What an excuse for the primers. Maybe the wife will go for it. Wait a minute, she pregnant. I can already her the answers now. I was thinking the same thing about the load. Gonna neck size the brass I shot and shoot again and see if that helps.

To start off I am, only a year experienced in reloading. Been having some real good results in other calibers but the 243 is testing me. Rifle is a tang M77 with 18 lightweight barrel. Loaded 85 gr Sierra BTHP with 34, 35 36 grs IMR 4895. OAL length of 2.60 to start. Cool dry temp of...

So im starting up loading on the 243 again and was considering the 85 gr gameking. Any one else use these ond what do you think of em. I have a 18 Lightweight m77. Thinking of starting with IMR 4895 or Imr 4350. gun)

I was getting a lot of blow out of the barrel after the shot. What causes that? Not flames but dust like poofs.

Loaded up the 243 with 37.5,38,38.5, and 39 grs of 4007 ssc today with 95 gr NBT. At best 1.5 inch groups. Gun is a ruger M77 with 18 inch barrel. Do you think their is a better powder choice I should be trying? I was goin to try IMR 4895.

Gotta love the ole 788's

>204 Ruger,

m77 VT .204. Ive started some loads for this new rifle and I was wondering what I should do as far as the screws to help this rifle acheive its max performance. Heard theres a way to do it just not real sure. Im shooting about .491 group(5shot). 27.5 gr Imr 4895 with 32 gr BK. Any tips or...

Where can one find a good quality affordable barrel for my hunting rifle? 22250 model 788.

WOW, thanks guys. I really want to thank everyone for their opinions. I have heard more good about the 4007 working better for my combination any way. I am in process of trying to trade out this bottle of RL17, (dont want to break seal). gun)

Ive got 4007 ssc also that sounds like its going to be a better match. So is RL 17 out of the question for 22250? Ive got no problem finding these powders. guess we are lucky here.

Ive got a 243 ruger with a 19in lightweight barrel. I m new to this and never took into consideration if barrel length and size for powder choice. I was planning on using RL 17 with a 75 gr hornday v max with Federal primers. how much difference does barrel length make in powder burn rates if...

Still looking for 17? What are you loading for? If you dont mind me asking. I know where theres some in York PA.
