I wouldn't expect the same load to shoot well after a chop. I subscribe to the OBT method and the goalposts are moved when you shorten the barrel. That's not to say you won't get lucky or find that...

H110 if you're only buying one powder, sure. We don't have actions to cycle and can so we can use faster powders for subs though. Makes for a quieter load. You don't have to though - H110 or...

You probably won't get the stumpy little 110's and 125's 0.020 off the rifling with any amount of bullet left in the neck. Just go with whatever length the manual suggests for your particular...

I've found them to work quite well on wallabies. Maybe a little inconsistent though. Have shot one side on thru the shoulders (heard the shoulders crunching from the impact) which ran stumbling...

I think dannyb had the right idea with the 150 ELD-X. Bullets in that weight range offer a good balance of speed, mass, and BC for the 7mm08.

Load a few rounds like 1gr apart from low to high so that you have at least done a precautionary check and established a known safe operating range to experiment in. People ask for recipes all the...

I recall using AP70N and AP100 before I sold my 44. Couldn't fit in enough Trail Boss to get anywhere close to 1000fps with Trail Boss.

It's not a binary thing like "17 inches is fine but 16 inches is instantly fucked". As the barrel gets progressively shorter, the intensity of the muzzle blast increases, so the quicker the baffles...

How much bullet (minus the boat tail) is in the neck? Can't be much? Typically you want about 1 bullet diameter of contact (0.264) for neck tension and concentricity, in a mag fed load. Those...

Here's the exit on a fallow hit with a 7mm 180 ELD-M. 176038 The M's do just fine, even up close, provided they aren't pushed too hard.
