    26 Nosler???

    When a thing starts life as a lie, don't expect much from it. Nosler tells us that it has more velocity at 400 yards, than the 260 does at the muzzle. A quick glance at Nosler's reloading manual shows that to be B.S. Now compare the 260 with the same new magic bullet..... Try a thing...

    Gunsmithing Pressure Sensitivity?

    There is a lot more than "the barrel" that ads to things. First thing is first, what is "pressure"? IF, and this is a BIG ASSumption, IF a company ONLY built brass by the metals handbook formula.

    300 WSM w/ 130 gr Barnes TTSX? Need load data help

    Sorry I can't help with your question, but about your data listed... Just to clear the waters a wee bit, H414--Win760--AA2700 are all the exact same powder, just different bottles. They didn't used to be, but have been for a while now. So any load variation you see, is just a function of normal...

    Hello from the dry side of Washington

    Have enjoyed the info for a while now, so I figured I should join up. Have been shooting my 308 past 1k for a few years now, starting to work on my groups at a mile. Not awesome, but working on it. Cheers
