I can’t wait to see the results. Those are neat note cards you have printed out for your loads.

Not really note cards, they are generated by the software I use for tracking all my reloading.

Ive got some 22-250 and 308 marlin express I need to pull down also, but I’ll save that for another day.

How long have you had the 257 Ackley? 2 things I've always wanted, a 257 Roberts and an Ackley of some sort. I may be a little envious, lol. Always was a 243 fan and thought the 243 Ackley might come into play some day. We shall see.

I noticed that they were more than just a note card, I just didn’t know what to call them. Either way, I really like them. Aside from shopping online, Computers and I don’t really get along, I avoid them as much as possible.

I like those semi pointed bullets. I found a couple boxes of Hornady 100gr 6mm RN at my LGS a while back. I loaded them in my 6mm Remington, they shoot great.

I like them too! It seems all of the really cool bullets that I like, have all been discontinued to make space for super high BC sleek pointy bullets.

I had it built around 2003 or 4. I played with it for awhile, found a couple good loads, killed a few deer, then put it away. I dusted her off a few years ago and have started to do some more serious load development.

Yeah, like 7mm RN bullets. How I wish I could find some those for my 7x57.

Ive gotten to the point where I don’t like to load my old discontinued bullets because once they are gone, they are gone. No replacing them. I always keep a lookout for them, but haven’t seen any in years.

It’s been too cold to shoot here lately, and work has been busy as crap, so I’ve just been slowly prepping some 223 brass for my AR.

Yeah, it's been too cold here as well. Changed the AP over from 300 BO to 9mm last night, gonna run some 147gr subs for my CZ Scorpion.
