    Moose bullet for 7x57 Mauser

    I just loaded some pf the 150gr ABLR up. I'm hoping they will end up being about right for these speeds. As mentioned in my first post, I've read some reviews of minimal penetration and fragmentation with them, but I assume those were out of 7mm Rem Mag or higher, hitting over 3000 fps. I'm...

    Moose bullet for 7x57 Mauser

    Yeah, I'm lucky to get 2550 with the 160 safely. 2800 is well outside of my comfort zone with a 120yr old rifle.

    Moose bullet for 7x57 Mauser

    I haven't used any of the mono bullets, and have heard numerous reports of them not opening at the bottom of their performance envelope, which is where the 7x57 lives, right?

    Moose bullet for 7x57 Mauser

    I was actually just looking at the Scirrocco 2. How do they perform at lower velocities? They open ok?

    Moose bullet for 7x57 Mauser

    I'm trying to develop a go-to hunting load for my wife's rifle, a sporterized 1895 Chilean Mauser with, as best I can tell, the original barrel shortened to 22". We live in Alaska, so this will primarily be for moose. When we lived in the lower 48, I had a nice load built up with the Hornady...

    Vortex Strike Eagle & recoil

    Thanks. I emailed Vortex to ask about the Strike Eagle, and they said the recoil of the 35 Whelen wouldn't be a problem at all. I found one locally for a screaming deal. The rifle gets here in a week or two, and I can't wait to put it through its paces.

    Vortex Strike Eagle & recoil

    I'm planning on moving to Alaska sometime this summer, hopefully long-term. I've been looking at rifles & such and have settled on a 35 Whelen built on a mauser action. I'm not asking for input on cartridge choice or whatever. I know you can only stop a grizzly with a 50 BMG or, if that...

    Best AR pistol chambering

    Yeah, I was looking at doing a pistol upper in 10mm as I already load that, but reliable mags & feeding seem iffy... Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

    Best AR pistol chambering

    I have a spare 80% lower I recently completed, and have been considering building an AR pistol out of it. Which chambering does the best with a short (7-10") barrel? Meaning, which one loses the least performance? I know 300 BLK is intended for subsonic use, but that doesn't necessarily mean...

    9mm help

    I find it interesting that the max charge varies so much. I wonder why Lyman dropped so low. Their 49th shows 5.0. just goes to show, what worked in my gun might be unsafe in yours... Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

    9mm help

    First off, do you have at least one current reloading manual? They usually walk you through the basics. col or oal is case overall length (loaded). Alliant Powder Reloader's Guide 2000 edition gives a max charge of 6.2gr unique for jacketed 125gr bullets (close enough for the 124 XTP)...

    When you can't decide..... Which gun to buy first.

    For what it's worth, I have a GP100 4" and a Witness 10mm. The revolver is more pleasant with hot loads, but not by much. My 357 load is a 185 gr hardcast at 1350fps. My hot 10mm load is a 200 gr XTP or hardcast at 1250fps... Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

    When you can't decide..... Which gun to buy first.

    You can get conversion barrels for the Glock 20 to use 40, and many people don't even bother using a different barrel... You can also get a Glock 21 slide/barrel to run on your 20 to shoot 45. Reloading is almost necessary for 10mm unless you like paying $35/50... With handloads the 10mm...

    When you can't decide..... Which gun to buy first.

    If you want to do 2 birds with one gun, try a 10mm. Can hunt with it, it's a semi auto, and very versatile. I'd recommend the Glock 20 or EAA Witness Elite Match, especially if you like the feel of CZ's... Only downside is ammo expense of you don't reload. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

    .357 158g SWC with AA#9?

    12.4 is the top of the data from Accurate. Their load book ver. 6.0 says 11.2-12.4 for a 158gr lswc. http://www.accuratepowder.com/load-data/ Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk
