    Visiting my LGS today and they showed me a picture of a 243 Howa that a customer had bought and hand loaded some rounds for, he couldn't get the bolt to close or remove a chambered live round so took...

    Bench prime. Was considering hand but so used to the bench, I though say with what I know works well.

    Dead is better liked post by Rushy On thread : Having that 'best deer hunting cal' argument with a mate. 6.5x55 vs .270win vs 308
    Tsk tsk, Aussies, no surprises there mate! I have shot deer with a 30-06 (.308), .270 and .243. There simply is no best deer hunting calibre. Dead is dead and if you hit them in a right place it...

    All three will work well. But the best point to consider is "First you have to hit it". 270 and 308 are easier to get ammo and varieties of ammo for, but 6.5x55 is easier to shoot well with a less...

    .270 is good enough to do the job...always has been always will be. flat shooting out to 300 which is where it got its reputation back before range finders were common piece of kit. all three will...

    If you don't have enough barrel to get a 140 going fast enough you won't get a 130 going fast enough either

    Dead is better liked post by Beetroot On thread : Guess the MV of the TMK 130gn
    I'm not sure, but wouldn't be hard playing around in a ballistics calculator. The higher BC of the 140gr should mean that regardless of wind conditions it will have less wind drift, the only way you...

    You are gunna need over 3200fps to get the less wind drift at 1000m with those 130TMKs vs the load you have for the 140 ELD-Ms. I'd stick with the ELDs, 2885fps from a standard 6.5x55 is pretty darn...

    1-8 seems helluva fast for a .308 and unnecessary unless you're shooting 240 gr MatchKings. 1-12 should be about right for 150 and 165 gr projectiles. Better to overstabilize than understabilize...
