This past week I got back into reloading for rifles. I made up some loads for my old 700 SPS in 7mm-08. Recent loading has been with Shooters World Precision Rifle powder and some Speer 130 gr. flat base spitzers. Locally Shooters World is the only powder I can get currently. Powder and bullet combination worked for great accuracy. Next up was some more shooting working up to be SW max loads. The burning is similar to Varget. I have learned to use SW data. That is if there is any SW data. Yes, I know to go to Lovex.
I also shot my Number One A in 30-06. with Precision Rifle and Sierra 165gr BT bullets. I had not shot the rifle since the new crown. These loads were mainly for zero's as the scope had been off the gun. There no choice about getting a Ruger extension rear ring. This ring would cure the sever stock crawling needed to use comfortably a recent Leupold FX-4 scope. Looks like this SW powder will work in this rifle.
I have to be miserly with components. I'll rejoice when this jerking around on loading components is over. I'm about worn out shooting a handgun. Ditto on handgun loading components.
