    .204Ruger projectile advice saught

    Thank you for responding, Guys. Much appreciated. I found some 40grn Bergers I'm going to try. I also checked the ACTUAL twist on my barrel, not just what the factory says. It is (as accurately as I can measure) 1:12 1/4, so that may be the issue. Just have to wait until Sierra runs a line of...

    .204Ruger projectile advice saught

    Hi everyone, I'm after a bit of help and advice... Shortages of certain (make that most) projectiles in UK means that I am unable to source 39grn Sierra Blitzkings for my .204Ruger. Fortunately I have a metric shit-ton of 40grn .20cal Hornady V-max. Unfortunately I cannot get them to shoot out...

    .243 for PRS type comps

    Yeah, Rob and he SPECIFICALLY wants factory ammo until he gets his reloading bench set up. I thought 105ish ELD-X might work well for him. Doubt he'll find much in the way of match ammo, but you might know better. (Also, I think budget comes into it a little, he was shocked at the price if CC...

    .243 for PRS type comps

    Sounds like a good set-up for PRS. With that twist I think that you are best trying to source a load with the Berger 105grn Hybrid. Why not look at one of the custom reloading outfits? If it's just for a few months it might be cost effective? Custom Reloads of Dallas is one that I am familiar...

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    So many people here with MAD skills!! I'm so jealous. Thanks for sharing, everyone. You have all given me some ideas to work with for when I finally get around to creating my own reloading 'space'. It won't be a room. Lost my reloading room when the second kiddo came along. Mind you, that was...

    Nice set-up! What is the action on the bolt gun? I can't quite make it out...

    224 Valkyrie now shipping!

    .22-250AI reduces body taper and increases shoulder angle. ?? Creedmoor cases are pretty much .22-250AI cases necked up to 6 or 6.5mm. Duh...

    224 Valkyrie now shipping!

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah, anything beyond 5 rounds is the problem, as you say. Currently using .308 mags as you suggest. It was just a thought. You know, looking for a better mousetrap... I'm assuming that when he shoots the barrel out, and I rebarrel with .22-250AI, the problem goes away, and...

    224 Valkyrie now shipping!

    Silly question, but would these mags work with .22-250? Running .22-250 in AICS 5 round mags in my Howa 1500 for my little guy (12). For some of the comps he shoots, a higher round capacity would really help. If we try to run a 10 round mag, we get feeding issues. Alternatively, anyone know of...

    WOW! Thank you for your really helpful input.

    Nosler RDF...

    It's a pity, because the bc is excellent, better than the 143grn ELD, but I can't use them if they're not going to be accurate!

    Nosler RDF...

    Yeah, read what I said above. I KNOW how to develope a load. What I didn't have was TIME. I was looking for a very specific short cut. Didn't work. Don't like these RDF's. So... Instead of using my custom .260Rem at 1000yds tomorrow, I will be using my trusty .308 with 175 SMK's. Back to ELD's...

    Nosler RDF...

    Was on the 1000yd point on Stickledown yesterday. Found 3 bullet holess in the clock tower. The worrying thing was that they had obviously come from the target end of the range, and quite low down. No corresponding exit hole... My suspicion is that the clock tower has been shot at from the other...

    Nosler RDF...

    Well, we're shooting on Stickledown on Wed pm (900yds) and Thurs am (1000yds), so I'll be real close to the clock. I'll go have a look to see if it has been patched up, and I'll let you know!

    Nosler RDF...

    Thanks for your help, guys. I'm not an inexperienced reloader. Perhaps I should have said that in the original post. I have a competition on Thursday at 1000yds at Bisley, and I want to use the RDF's. I have a node for the powder, I just needed to know if anyone has a lot of experience with the...

    Nosler RDF...

    I know that Nosler says that the RDF has the compound ogive, and is insensitive to seating depth, but has anybody found a sweet spot for the 140grn RDF in .260Rem? I was thinking of going with a 20thou jump. Thoughts, comments, opinions... Thanks guys.

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    Hi, I know it might be a bit late... But I believe you can get a set of plans for a really great reloading bench/storage combo from American Reloading Organisation (?) not entirely sure of the name, but you can google it. It’s an industry organisation, but the plans are free and it looks like a...
