Finished experiments with RL22 powder with Hornady 7mm 175g ELD-X and Nosler 175g ABLR in my Browning XBOLT Speed 7 Rem Mag. Bullets chrono just over 3000 fps and both are sub-MOA using concentricity gage. The Browning has a long throat bolt face to rifling at 3.46 inches with these spitzers...

Yes the 168g ABLR's are hitting 3050 fps with IMR 4831 @47F and groups are near MOA, SD 11. Been testing Viht N560 with 175 ABLR and clocking 2974fps also 1 MOA w/SD 13. Did not encounter any case or primer concerns. Nice! Now will soon play with OAL and concentricity. Want to see what...

I am looking to purchase Reloader 26. Anyone want to sell some?

I shoot Browning XBolt Speed 26"-the 168g ABLR with IMR 4831 w/ 64g max load. I get 3003 fps at 50degF and 2947 at 27degF w/ 3/4"@100 yds. Thats just 7g less than 175g. Worked up the load for long range moose. 2000 ft-lb/2300fps at 500 yards.

Thanks. Been shooting and hand loading for decades as a hunter. I am not a high-power shooter otherwise I would have waited till the 7PRC was available. The 7 Rem Mag is a hunter's cartridge. In time the PRC will gain some till the next 7 Pazzaz comes out but hunters that are happy with 7mm...

I bought a new Browning X-Bolt "Speed" in 7mm Rem. Mag. with 1:9.5 twist for moose hunting in Newfoundland. In hind sight, I would have preferred a 1:8.5 or 1:9 twist as these stabilize heavier bullets better. But did not want to pay for a custom rifle. However, I found the 7mm Nosler 168g...

Ok I moved the business cards but no luck on 180 grain accuracy improvement better than MOA, in fact it deteriorated. I know this pressure method will work but am not finding the right spot or inadequate pressure. With the deresonator from Limbsaver and a floating barrel I can get groups to...

Ok I went to the 100 yard bench rest range yesterday with 200 g e-Tips and Ballistic tips from Nosler and started testing the business card theory by adding them to the stock for-end. Since it was already a free floating barrel one business card just filled the gap so i shot with 2 business...

I own a Kimber 8400 Select Grade in .338 Win Mag in French Walnut. It shoots Nosler 180 grain AccuBonds at 1 MOA but when I shoot 200, 225 and 250 my spread increases to 2.5 inches at 100 yards. At 1 inch my long range is limited to say 600 yard 6 inch kill zones. Kimber says the 8400 is best...

I would be interested in what a Gun Smith would say on the Bedding of the 8400 since Kimber touts a superior bedding. I shall investigate. Bolt torque is important and the sequence is also important. I have a torque wrench that I bought for my Ruger M77 to ensure the main lug is factory spec...

First..Great Question! The 300 WSM is a great cartridge. The 8400 is an excellent rifle. I own a Kimber 8400 Select Grade in .338 Win Mag. I love its looks. I have been able to get 1 inch groups with hand loaded 180g Nosler AccuBonds but larger bullets like the 200, 225 and 250g bullets do...

Absolutely! I plan on getting younger. At least that is the plan anyhow but thanks for the Howdy back.

Hi All, I have been a member for a little while but perhaps not as involved as I would like as I am luckily employed. I have written an article which Len intends to publish on Scopes. I am first and foremost a hunter. I am 62 though many think I am 52, a good thing. I have been shooting like...
