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...

I owned a Winchester 70 CFW Boss in .280 several years ago and have regreted selling it every sense. I never got the chance to reload for it but fired Federal premium ammo with Nosler ballistic tip 140gr through it and it loved it. The recoil was nothing and it was very impressive as far as...

Well I couldn't take it any longer. I ordered a new Howa Nighteater package in .308 yesterday. The rifle with the scope package was $535 out the door. That is not bad for this rifle I think. I have a Savage Axis that I have more than that in because I put a good scope on it and an aftermarket...

I am told that the Howa has a free float barrel and the Vanguard does not. Is this true?

I am looking at buying a Howa 1500 rifle in 308. This rifle comes with a 22" barrel #2 barrel, hogue stock, and a Nikko Stirling 3-10x44 scope. I have been looking at reviews on them and can't find to many people that have owned them that did not like them. I own several Savages and a couple...

Went out this evening to try out some Hodgdon Benchmark loads I loaded. I fired 5 of each starting with 24gr then 24.5gr, and 25gr's. I used a 55gr FBHP MidwayUSA Dogtown bullet OAL: 2.260". I am getting really low on my Sierra 55gr BTHP's so that's why I used a different bullet than my BLC2...
