    Stop “practicing” wind at the range.

    Shoot across mountain valleys much? Where I shoot 90% of the time I have to read the wind direction. Inc up/down drafts. Speed which changes every 15sec. Then there are the multiple wind columns to deal with. I'll be practicing the wind for the rest of my life. But I don't shoot at "ranges".

    Maggie’s It's good to be alive

    I'm feeling almost normal today. I had a follow-up this morning & I now have a scheduled time for the ultrasound of my neck. None of the 3 Dr's have a clue what started it up there but hopefully the tests will show something. IDK. It is frustrating to not know what it was but I've never had much...

    Maggie’s It's good to be alive

    Elevation was only 5300' asl. Ive recently spent 4 days @ 7000' hiking/ scouting. Just didn't have that much weight on. As far as I know they tested me for everything they could think of. Lots of stuff I never heard of. I'll bet they took 12-15 vials of blood out of me. Some I was told were...

    Maggie’s It's good to be alive

    Thank you all for the kind wishes. It must be getting dusty in here. I have to schedule a follow-up & the Dr. Wants me to wear a heart monitor for a while to see if I have an arithmia which may have started it. I have been to the ER twice for brief bouts of similar discomfort but I was always...

    Hopefully I'll get more data tomorrow.

    IMR 8133 for 300WM?

    He's trying it too. He's also run a few to see what velocity he gets.

    IMR 8133 for 300WM?

    Not sure. I haven't used Retumbo in years & have swapped barrels since then. I can only compare it to H1000. My buddy can compare Retumbo in his RUM. So far he's seeing a bit lower velocity than expected but he has lots of room left in the case. I'm testing in virgin brass so once fired will...

    IMR 8133 for 300WM?

    I tried 75.5gr 1st. Was a compressed load & gave 2890 fps with the 225ELDM. Im just trying to match mv of my H1000 load which is giving me 2960 fps. Its close so I'm going to bump up 1 gr to 76.5 & see what that gives. Should be very close. Looking at the Hodgdon manual online it says max of...

    IMR 8133 for 300WM?

    I tried 2 rnds in my 300wm just to see where the case volume & mv is. Its not as dense as H1000 but velocity was close to what I was expecting but on the slow side. I have 3 at +1gr to test now. Hopefully I'll be able to shoot them tomorrow.

    .380 G7 in streloc works.

    IMR 8133 for 300WM?

    Yes. I'm pleased with it. The 230AT gives me dial up to 2400yds & 2700+/- with the reticle.

    Mine is a 28" lhgt 9.5-8.75 twist.

    IMR 8133 for 300WM?

    I'm pushing the 230 AT to 2940. 225ELDM to 2960.

    IMR 8133 for 300WM?

    Very good. My 225 & 230 loads are getting a bit hot above 70* & I'd love it if this powder will burn clean & give me the same MV with lower pressure.
