According to the hornady manual there starting load for H110 is 14.9gr and they show there max at 20.6gr. I think I started at 17.5gr and worked up to 20gr. I was just curious if anyone else is having the same experience with this bullet in this rifle. I have had such great loads with the 200gr...

Yes I have trimmed my cases to the specified length. My problem is accuracy I'm not getting any. The best load so far was at 17.5gr of H110 @100 yds 4shot group was about 3" and the hotter I went the worst the group was. With all my 200gr and 240gr loads I'm used to having 1 1/2" or less. Just...

I have been loading for several years and have worked up some really accurate and reliable loads in 200gr and 240gr bullets for my marlin 1894 lever gun for hunting. I bought a box of hornady 225gr ftx's to try and work a load with them and am not having great success like I had hoped. If anyone...

Who loads 9mm and 40 with Hodgdon HS6 or CFE Pistol? I have a chance to buy some of these powders but have never used them before and I am getting low on my powder I use for my 9mm and 40 loads and can't find any. So any experience with these powders in the calibers mentioned I would appreciate...

When I first started loading I wanted a powder that was very flexible and I could use in most of my pistol calibers so I bought some Unique. This is the only powder I loaded with for the first year or two. Its one of those powders to always have on hand because its so versatile but in the past...

Not trying to be a jerk but have you read a good reloading manual? No one should be reloading ammo until they have read at least one or two manuals. They explain everything your asking.

I have been loading for my .223 and my friends .204 ruger for a long time and have tried many different powders for them. While I know everyone just about loves H335 or W748 for there 223 loads the best 2 powders I have found for my 223 are Benchmark and BLC-2 and the best powder for my friends...

I have been reloading for a few years now and like most reloaders have been trying different powders for different calibers trying to find what works best for all my different guns. I think I am finally done with my 9mm's and .40's as far as powder searching. I have loaded and tested 115gr and...

My brother bought one of the Gen 1 Kel-tec 2000's a while back in .40 cal and at first I thought it was not going to be that good of a firearm boy was I wrong. At 50yds, open sights, standing no rest I knocked the 2" circle out of the target. These things handle excellent and to my supprise are...

I do not own a tikka but have shot one and they are very nice as well. The weatherby also is guaranteed 1" groups @100 yds.

Buy a Weatherby and be very happy or by a Howa and put a different stock on it and be very happy!!

Well I finally got it scoped and got to take it out and do some shooting. Wow! I love this rifle. It has by far the best factory trigger on it I have ever used. Stot some Nosler 155gr hpbt's match grade @100yds and the group was just a hair over a 1/2". Now I am going to try and work up some of...

Cottswal . The synthetic stock on this rifle is very rigid there is no flex in it like my savages and remmy have. I love the grip inlays they put in the grip and forearm area. I also like the palm swell and the raised cheek piece is very nice in my opinion.

Well I picked up my new Weatherby Vanguard S2 in .308 a couple days ago. Wow!! this has got to be the best synthetic stock I have ever seen on a factory rifle. I love my Savage rifles but not real crazy about the stocks on them and have bought some aftermarket stocks for some of them but I think...

Well my local gun guy called me back and said he was having trouble getting a Howa in the package that I wanted so after thinking about it for a day I decided to order a Weatherby vanguard. This rifle is a little more expensive and I'm not getting a scope with it but I think it will be worth it...
