    6.5-06 Loads & Chrony Data

    Good to See you on here NDak. Do you find that the 95gr Vmax to give "spectacular" terminal performance too? I nailed a crow here a while back with one at about 230yds. WOW!! I just got my Cabelas Shooting cataloge and noticed that they have the 129 & 140gr SST listed in there. Whether they...

    6.5-06 Loads & Chrony Data

    Pecos, nice shootin'. I don't blame ya for keeping it. Are you inviting Danr and his harem over for Boar roast? Nice hog!! Are they any good eating? That's a lot of meat if it isn't. If I ever get constipated I may try shooting one of those things someday. I'm sure that if one that...

    Boy did I step in a deep pit????

    Jason, I know it looks like a ball of confusion right now, but after a few lessons, and a few small groups with loads that YOU made all by yourself, it will prove to be all worth it. Just remeber that young danr and a lot of others are willing to help ya out. MLM & Danr, I just shudder to...

    6.5-06 Loads & Chrony Data

    Well at last there was sun and reasonable weather to finally get out and do some trigger time. So I took the 6.5-06 and the 243 out and ran all my best accuracy loads and a new 80gr load for the 243 accross the ole chrony. I thought that I'd share my results. The 6.5-06 is an FN Mauser with a...

    30.06 loads

    1 pointer, I used the SST's ahead of the same load that I used for NBT's and Gamekings. All 3 shot good groups. The SST's and Gamekings shot the best at 2-300yds. (Don't ask me why, we're still trying to figure that out). So I'd go out on a limb and say that if a 180gr of a different brand...

    30.06 loads

    1pointer, consider the source on this (me), but I wouldn't hesitate for a second to take the SST elk hunting. From what I saw out of them, I was really impressed. Just make sure that they shoot well enough that you are confident in them. I'm huge on shot placement anyway. I just won't shoot...

    Varget

    Rick, a pound of varget will give ya a pretty good idea whether or not it shoots well in the 223. :D:D If you have a 243 or a 7mm-08, the varget shoots real well in either of those. I don't have a 7-08, but have loaded some for an aquaintance and it shot real well. It is becoming the powder...

    Varget

    Rick, I finally found it. The loads that the fellow sent me for using Varget are as follows. 50gr NBT or Vmax, 26.3gr of Varget, Win cases, Rem 7 1/2 primers. 55gr NBT, 25.1gr of Varget, Win cases, Rem 7 1/2 primers. Ken told me that he was getting well under 1/2" groups and about 3310fps...

    Varget

    Calif, like you, I've been very pleased with ww748 and H335 in the 223. There is a fellow over on the "Varmint Board" that swears by Varget in the 223 and he sent me a bunch of loads for it. Next time I'm close to where I put all that data, I'll send it to ya. (If I haven't already sent it to...

    30.06 loads

    1pointer, I have a few loads for the '06 also. I'm not a big fan of the bullets over 165 in the '06 so I'll give ya what I got for the 125gr and 150gr bullets. They are easier on the shoulder than the heavier weight bullets. 125gr nosler Ballistic tips, win cases, rem 9 1/2 primers, 60gr of ww...

    "Donaldson Wasp"

    Calif, correct. Stair step'd or how ever. Just a matter of terminology. :D :D With that much barrel ya can't brag about a long shot, as the barrel reaches most of the way to the target anyway. ;) :D WD

    "Donaldson Wasp"

    dg, on a rimmed cartidge used in a Mauser action, like the 220 swift or the 30-30, they can be either single shot'd by putting a follower plate in them or you can (at least on my swift anyway) load the cartridges in stairstep fashion, so that the rim of the second round is toward the muzzle from...

    Powders on hand?

    Danr one more thing that I just saw here lately, a guy has his powder stored as you say in an old refrigerator, and to keep his powder dry inside there, he drilled a 5/8" hole in the top of it and rigged it so that the 15watt light stayed on inside. The light generates enough heat to keep the...

    Whitetails in Dec

    'Nut, Do you have a Muzzle loader? If not, Christmas is coming!! :D:D I've only once been lucky enough to get one with a bow in Dec. or Jan. The way I hunt them is by finding a spot where the feed regularly and get down wind prior to their expected arrival at their feeding spot well in...

    Another record book buck from Ohio?

    'Nut, I live about 12 miles from where this one was killed. That territory I mentioned is a strip of corporate owned land about 5 miles away that stretches about 7-8 miles to about where this one was harvested. It would look like some one yelled Crispy critters if they ever opened that area...

    Another record book buck from Ohio?

    Just read in a local newspaper where a hunter nailed what may be the #5 buck of all time in Ohio. It is an 8 Point typical, 8" brow tines, 13+" G2's, 26"(?) inside spread. This one came from about 50 miles dead north of where the Beatty buck was taken last year. From the picture it was by far...
