    Greetings Beetroot and gimp, Thanks for your reply. I am just as allergic to squandering components as you. The point I was trying to make, clearly not that well, is that starting with loads close...

    Greetings, I think I would start a bit lower than that. 42 grains of AR2209 is Hodgdon book max for the 140 grain and there have been some variations in speed with AR2209 I would start at 40 grains...

    308 liked post by grandpamac On thread : Old Data and Load Variations. Traps for New Handloaders
    Greetings All, In another thread I talked about my simple methods for validating load data. The cartridge was the .260 Rem with the 140 grain plus projectiles and AR2209 powder. I have started a new...

    Greetings Jhon, akaroa1 and all, Can some casting kit be far away. Always glad to see some hunters get excited over rifles and cartridges that were obsolescent (never obsolete) decades before we...

    Greetings, Fear not, it is a .308. 2,500 to 2,600 fps is right in the middle of the Goldilocks zone where standard projectiles neither fail to expand or fly to pieces at their first contact with...

    That's harsh Tahr, That would make Brian 109 years old this year. I was leafing through a stack of Handloaders the other day and in 2018 Layne Simpson reported on a cartridge he had had since...

    Greetings all, Mere mention of a wildcat .25 calibre rifle and my brain was off to the races. Next minute I am surrounded by books all open at different pages where something of interest resides. In...

    The Hastings Deerstalkers club had something like that. 300 yards prone with a day pack rest, 200 yards sitting and 100 yards standing. We may have used the Wilkinson Shoot deer target. The old Roy's...

    Greetings all, So to summarise. NZDA Rifle Ranges mostly only go to 200 metres if that. This does not meet the need for longer range testing for those that shoot at longer range NRA Type Rifle...
