    Anyone reloading & shooting a 376 Steir?

    I have a buddy that is trying to develop some loads for this round. So far he had tried using bonded bullets from Hornady and Nosler with very good groups at 100yds, but about basketball size at 300yds. Anyone have a good bullet, load combination that shoots well for them at 300yds too...

    For Reloaders of the 6.5-06....

    Over the course of the last month and a half I've been working on some varmint, target, and "deer" sized loads for my 6.5-06. Some are quick, some are not, but they are all accurate as all get out in my rifle. My barrel is a 26" #4 contour Lilja with a 1-10 twist. Here are some of the best...

    Just read in a local newspaper where a hunter nailed what may be the #5 buck of all time in Ohio. It is an 8 Point typical, 8" brow tines, 13+" G2's, 26"(?) inside spread. This one came from about 50 miles dead north of where the Beatty buck was taken last year. From the picture it was by far...

    Bad Lot of RL 22 Powder !(?)

    Just picked this up off 2 other sites. There is a lot# 25083 of RL-22 that is at least questionable. One report told of how it destroyed his firearm and that Alliant was replacing that lot if you called them about it. WD <FONT COLOR="#800080" SIZE="1">[ 26 August 2001 06:19: Message edited...

    Hornady SST bullets...initial impressions

    Tried a 3 shot group at 100yds, and a 3 shot group at 200yds last evening when the wind had died. Results were impressive to say the least on this initial trial. They were 150gr. shot from my '06 over my pet load of 4064 in Win cases. The 3 shots at 100yds could be covered by a US nickel, the 3...

To my satisfaction both shot in the...

    Gameking Bullets for Black Bear

    Would 150gr. 30cal Sierra Gameking bullets at 3200fps be an acceptable choice for approx. 300lb. black bear out to 250yds? What about Nosler Ballistic tips (same speed and cal.)? WD.
