I finally got a box a few weeks ago. They were only on back order for a few months.
But any way here is the results of my ladder test.

Hornady is not showing data on their web site for this combo, can any one point me in the right direction or have you had any luck loading this? Is any one using data from the 178 grain Amax?
I have a Tikka T3 and my Son has a Rem 783. So far in my Tikka I have been able to get the 85 grain and lighter bullets to shoot better than me. But 95 and 100 grain bullets don't do so well.
On my Son's Rem I have not done a lot of load testing. But I need to for the up coming Deer and Elk...
So a few months ago I completed my PSA-10. It's all PSA parts except for the brake.
Here are the ski numbers for the parts I ordered.
Complete upper. 7782705
Lower parts kit. 503563
The blem lower that I ordered a year ago seems to have a different sku.
Keep in mind that this is only the...
So I just got my beam scale back from Hornady. They were supposed to check it out and make sure it was weighing correctly. I was specious because I was getting different results between it and my RCBS Charge Master. The Charge Master seemed to be more along the lines of what I would suspect...
I am checking it against my RCBS auto charge.
I don't have a check wait so I am using 175grain SMK's and some new Hornady ELDX Bullets to check.
The bullets weigh consistently what they should on the auto charge. And they are consistently heavier on my beam scale by about .7 grains. So how...
I built the lower Friday night and yesterday the barreled upper came in. Every thing fits really and looks good. The only complaint is the trigger. It's a little rough. I either need to find some one to polish it up, or just replace it.
I took it out right after work and put almost a full...
On New Years Day I took out some test loads to do a ladder test with. I was pretty happy with the results. So I took the best performing group averaged their powder and went back out a few weeks later. I was disappointed to say the least. My group was about 4" at 300 yards.
Well yesterday I...
So I have added a new bench to my reloading room. It is just a counter top. Press board with a cheap laminate top. I'm thinking about moving my single stage press to it. But I'm not sure how to re enforce it so it can handle the stress.
All right so here is my issue, I have a Tikka in 243 for varmint and yote hunting, I have a 300 win mag, and I am building another AR-10 308. I currently have a Nikon Monarch in 4-16x with mil dot's on the 243. I really like that scope and am leaning towards putting it on the 300 win. I would...
So a couple weeks ago my boss's brother decided that he needed an AR-15. So I looked over PSA's web site and found the cheapest lower and upper with lower parts kit.
Well just before he placed the order I had him spend just under $50.00 more and get a different upper that had a few reviews...
The first picture shows my results.
Tikka T3 light. .243 85 grain Sierra Game King.
IMR 4831. 300 yards.
This second picture is a group I did with 45.5 grains of IMR 4831. 300 yards.
So I just picked up my first GP100 with a 6" barrel a couple weeks ago. Holy cow is this thing amazing!! Its almost point and shoot. I am casting some 140 grain bullets for it, and my gosh are these things fun to shoot rabbits with.
So my wife wants me to pick out a Christmas present for my self. I would like to upgrade the scope rings on my Tikka T3 What style or brand would your get? This is basically a truck gun and coyote gun for me. Its a 243
Budget is about a $100.00
So I have been loading up some cast 140 grain and 158 grain bullets for my 357. This morning I ran them through the chrono and the spread is pretty significant.
On the 140's it was over 100fps. And as you will notice pretty fast.
I am loading with H110. And I am nearing max but not quit...
What is your favorite bullet with this powder?
Hunting performance is a primary concern, but so is accuracy.
Looking for a solid performer for coyotes to Deer, so heavier bullets would be preferred.
So I loaded up some 135 grain cast bullets for my wife's snub nose 38. Saturday I was out shooting and decided to run them over the chrono, they were cruising along at 600fps. I loaded them over a starting charge of Trail Boss.
