    38 special hand loads

    My load I've been using for years: Titegroup is a "volume tolerant" powder, allowing for low volume yet consistent ignition. Very pleasant load in even an Air Weight S&W snubbie.

    6.5x55 SE or 6.5-06?

    6.5x55 gets my vote. For a little more velocity, 6.5x55 AI. Simple. Easy. Accurate. Shoot groundhogs with the 85gr Sierra Spitzers, drop whitetails with the 120 or 140's. The 6.5/.264 has great sectional density properties, which makes it so lethal on everything up through moose. Longest...

    44 magnum rifle load

    I load 23.5 grs of H-110 over a CCI-350 (Magnum Pistol Primer) and behind a Nosler 240 gr JHP. Excellent whitetail deer load. Works in the Super Blackhawk (7-1/2"), Ruger 77/44 and the Marlin 1894. For the carbines, we sight in for 100 yards and get about 2-1/2" to 3" groups (for reference...

    Do you remember the first centerfire rifle you fired and do you reload for that caliber today?

    1972, Marlin 336C in .30-30. Still have it, as it was a birthday present from my Dad, took my first deer with it (and several more), and I still reload for it. I still have one of the original Federal factory ammunition boxes for it (the old Red, Black, White and a gold stripe version)...

    Powder - Cartridge Cross Reference

    If you check out Nosler's online reloading information, they list their most accurate tested powder for a given cartridge. Might be pure, dumb luck, but I used their data for a .308 load, and I've never changed it. My Sierra Infinity v7.3.4 software also lists the most accurate load tested...
