Anyone have any loads for the 6.5X300W? I have 120 and 140gr Swift A-Frames and 130gr Sirocco Swift Bullets, 127LRX and 100or 120gr TTSX Barnes bullets as well as some others.
I have 91.5/93.5 and 94grs of US869 for the 127LRX. Also 78.8grs Retumbo that is too slow FPS.
I have 91.6 of US869...
I have 2 balance beam scales to check my electronic one.
I had a Lyman unit and after it broke the 2nd time and they wanted 1/2 the cost of a new one for replacement I got a Hornady unit like my buddy. It has been an excellent unit. I know the RCBS unit is really good but more money and has...
I have gone to using mag primers in all loads. I have had no problems even with max loads and the accuracy is usually better. Been doing so now for many years on everything from 9mm/45acp/38special/357mag/44mag(also light loads)/ 454Casull(small rifle mag primers)/500S&W as well as some odd mil...
I love the 200gr HP bullet(Nosler or Hornady) and have taken deer/pigs and a very large(weight and B&C book) Black Bear with them. I have not used 800-X but have used a lot of Hi-Skor 700-X and unique in my 7.5" SBH and RH. I loaded both the 200gr jacketed bullets and 250gr hard cast ones I...
My fav load for deer/pigs/bear/squirrels is a mag primer(usually win) with 29grs of H-110 under a 200gr HP from Nosler or Hornady. I have used this in a 7.5" SBH and RH. Friends have used it also in SRH's. I have also used it in my Ruger semi-auto before I sold it. Very deadly. This is a max load.
I use mag primers in all my loads and have never had a problem. They are suggested with any ball powder. They should be used when using H-110 or Win296
I have taken several deer and a very large Black Bear with the 200gr HP bullet(Hornady or Nosler) with a mag primer and 29grs of H-110 with a heavy crimp. This is a max load and I have shot it out of a number of Rugers without any trouble. Currently I have a RH and I use to have a SBH. Also shot...
I have run many pounds of H-110 thru my Uniflow and have done so with very accurate measurements. I use the funnel trick and a smooth same handle motion to get great results.
I had 2 fail and of course that had to when check sighting my rifle in Africa.
The other 700+ I fired from the carton worked fine. Those 2 made me nervous to start with but no others failed. I fired about 35 rounds in Africa. Everything but one animals were one shot kills. The one took another...
For a mild load I shoot 8.5grs Unique with a 240-250gr lead bullet.
My full power/hunting load is a 200gr HP Nosler or Hornady XTP over 28grs H-110 and a mag primer. I have taken a B&C black Bear and a number of deer as well as a yote and some ground squirrels with it. Also a muskrat. I shot a...
