Cartridge size and powder burn rate.
Quick question for a powder guru. Smaller over-bored cartridges use slow powders (.243/25-06) as well as large cased magnums (7mm rum). But when the bullet diameter starts increasing at a certain point, the powder burn requirement starts getting faster again. Eg. -300 mag, 200 grain...- 3006Sprng

What are you currently reloading?
.243, sierra 90 grain TGK. H4350 @ max charge seems to be good. Grouping under 0.5”. Looks like a completed load. 7mm-08, brand new rifle, loaded up a bunch of Speer hot cors just to run in the rifle and new brass. Moving to Nosler 120 grain BTips. Going to start with ram shot big game...- 3006Sprng

New scale
I use an rcbs beam scale for measuring charge weights, and a small little cheap digital for setting up the powder thrower. Speeds thing up. The cheap amazon digital is actually better than other reloading brand digital (Lyman and rcbs) that I have used.- 3006Sprng

Sierra TGK experience.
.243 worst charge weight group was 0.6”. Best was 0.28”. I would like to try them in the 7mm-08 as well.- 3006Sprng

Sierra TGK experience.
I’m working on loading these in a 243 right now. So far ridiculous accuracy. I’m so impressed. Could obviously be just a great powder, barrel, bullet match. But still, unreal. As for on game experience, what’s everyone’s experience regarding on game performance? Do they hold up well? I’d...- 3006Sprng

What caliber/rifle/bullet would be suitable for taking a Terminator/iRobot?
3006, 150 grain fmj doing 3000 fps. Any bolt gun. If the roomba in my house ever gets any funny ideas, I’ll be sure to test this combo out. -
Reasonably priced digital scale
I currently use a beam scale, RCBS. It’s great, just looking for something a bit quicker to throw on the bench. Anyone have any recommendations for a reasonably priced digital scale?- 3006Sprng

What calibre/rifle combination would be suitable for taking a T-REX.
Hands down some of the best marketing I have ever seen. I now want a model 1895. -
What calibre/rifle combination would be suitable for taking a T-REX.
Curious what everyone would consider to be humane and accurate for taking a T-REX. What would be the minimum, and what is most reasonable? I was thinking something chambered in 14.5x114mm.
