Guys, I've found few bottles of the H4350 and some boxes of Lapua Scenar 123gr in my safe. Does anyone loaded this combo? What kind of speed I can expect? My rig has a 26" pipe. Thx.

8.5x55mm Blaser Specialty cartridge for short barrels.

Guys, my problem is nothing special. I've bought older XCR Gen 1 rifle in 338 RUM. I have some Federal cases from factory ammo and new unused Remington cases. The Federal's bottom of the case measures around 0.533", no problem with it. It flies nice far out by repeating. The bottom of the Remmy...

Well, after a year of hunting and some dozens of shot boars and deers... I must only agree with you. Pushing em at 2920fps out of my 7mm Mag they perform just great. No animal went more than 4-5 steps and the absolute majority just fell in its tracks. Farthest shot at a young red stag at 480...

Nope. 😉

No, they are not. Sako makes their own cases. Look here, time 2:50

Does anyone have a program for 7mm Rem Mag SAKO cases? I asked by the AMP last week but until today no one answered... Thx!

Has anyone experience with it? I'm pushing the 160 TMK at 2725 out of my 7mm-08 and I would like try em on the pigs. What kind of performance can I expect? Something like Hornady's SST? Our pigs weigh between 100-200lbs. Thx!

Guys, does anyone have own practical experience with 250gr. Accubond in 9.3mm cal. (.366")? Nosler states BC G1= 0.494. But Noslers numbers were always a bit inflated. Any info is appreciated.

First test done. Not bad, except those two kiddish mistakes by pulling the trigger. I'm too much used to my Jewells...

Guys, this will be practically ancient question, but... :-) My smith gave me few boxes of the old Barnes X 175gr flat base bullets (no bands on it). I like to try it with the Norma MRP-2. I already have sorted the bullets for base-to-ogive length - surprisingly accurate. The next step, I've...

Today I have tested more loads with Hodgdon 4831SC, charges between 63.0 up to 66.0 gr. Velocities from 2850 fps to 2960 fps. No success, bullet holes all over the target. Not the smallest indication of some grouping. I love my old Sako and don't wanna burn great barrel because of non-working...

Somehow the "node predictions" didn't corresponded with real world results... As you can see in previous post, I did more detailed seating depth test than Berger recommends... Because I am competitive shooter and long-range hunter, this is part of my training. On the 300 meters range where I...

Yes, I measure every single round for CBTO length, see the attached photo. I load with Forster Micrometer seating die.
