I'm loading 00 buck for fun, not hunting. In my test loads, the shot is embedding into the hull pretty far, which causes a few fliers at 25 yards.
BPI sells Tyvec cards that are supposed to...
That brackets what I have, so maybe I'll try it there... thanks!

Anyone have a preferred cartridge overall length for the subject projectile? If I seat to the cannula, it looks like it will be too deep. Compared to a FMJ btwc, the hollow points are about .013"...
Yep - like this. My G30 doesn't like them - they hang up when feeding so i switched to LRN. The 1911 eats them up...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200831/76404193877ee5acaf96d5023e0c910c.jpg...
I've shot well over a thousand of these through my 1911 Gov't without any issue. Yeah, a dime matches up pretty well. I was told they were designed to be flush with the case mouth, but there would...
Yeah - it was an FN barreled action my dad bought surplus back in the late 50s. It has it's quirks but a lot of antlers to it's credit. I'll feed it whatever it likes...

Watch your twist rate. My Mauser with 1:10 spits 150s like watermelon seeds. It likes 180s...

How low can I go for varmints? 65 gr? 75 gr?

From the best I can measure, it's a 1:10 barrel, which would favor lighter bullet weights...

I'm trying to measure mine now. They say 1:10 to 1:8 is normal for .243.

I have a Mossberg SSi One in .243 Win. My dad used it for years for groundhog hunting, and had some federal 100gr factory loads. I put a box through it last weekend, and after choking on the...
I have a couple of Romanian M69 training rifles. Once I found the ammo they like (Remington Golden Bullets,) they are incredibly accurate. Finding scope mounts that fit well is a challenge,...
I've also had white tails drop in their tracks, but with the 180 partition, it is usually from a neck shot or breaking a leg.
Looks like I may need a sampler pack from Wes!
Thank you everyone for...
Thanks, Wes. When things slow down it the next few weeks, I'll order some!

I've had them only run off only 20 yards, but the one I got Monday ran too far. Luckily, it was running directly AT me, and I was able to down it with another tap.
The SST looks good in my manual. ...
Maybe I should try the heavier Nosler...

I've been loading for and shooting deer with 180gr Nosler partitions over 53gr Win760 in my Mauser 30-06 for many years. The past couple of deer ran 50-100 yards after solid hits that turned their...
I'm in. Fb sucks.

I use both. Shotguns do well with the snakes for a quick cleaning after a round. If I go as far as field stripping, I use a rod...
