Just had a similar thing. Thought I'd sorted a load for my 7/08 with RL17 and ELD-X 150gr. Tested up to 47.5gr in new lapua brass and settled on 47gr with a COAL of 2.93", No signs of pressure (book...

I've loaded two lengths, with next to no difference in accuracy. 22" barrel. 2.917" COAL tip to primer, which is .030" off the lands, powder 0.5gr over book max for a 100% case fill. This will...

I’ve used both AR2208 and 2206H with 178gr ELD-X with my .308. Both performed just fine though I did notice quite a bit more kick with the faster 2206H. mickeyduck is 100% correct with the...

Following on from some recent threads with Q&A on some of the common bullets we use, I thought I'd have another look at the comparative construction using sections, some we've done ourselves (thanks...

Best of all as I found out in my 308. A Max's are ballistically and POI speaking : identical to the TMKs. I run 44.5gr 2208 in my 308 and it makes the 168gr TMK run at 2680fps with the A Max's...

I definitely WOULD NOT recommend this course of action. SMP763 is VERY different to 760. Go to the Alliant website and look at the Power Pro 2000 MR loads - this stuff shines in heavy for caliber...

Goes great in 308 with heavies and anything else you might use 2208 in. Gets amazing speed with light bullets in my 6.5x47. It's quite erratic in this though and I think this is because of the...

I went the vx5 route but was very keen on the 2.4-12. Had a look through one and really rated it. Be epic as an all rounder

There'd be a justification for both the 3.5-18x44 and the 2.4-12x50. The 2.4-12x50 is an inch shorter, has 29% more objective lens area and should have more depth of focus. As I understand it, side...
