reds and fallow mostly, maybe the odd goat and or pig

Nothing like a bit of overkill, Ive run the 165gr Speers and 185gr Mega's in my HSL over the last 12 mths but the recoil was getting a bit silly so I have dropped back to a 150gr, a lot more pleasant on the shoulder

Suppressor definitely tames it down, plus I'm a big unit and can soak up a fair bit of recoil.

Looking forward to some kill reports.

27 308 cases filled with 165G Nosler Ballistic tips



22 22-250 cases filled with 55G Sierra Blitzkings


However noob mistake, primed and filled with powder the 22-250 cases and then went to seat the first projectile and wondered why it slipped in in my hand. Turns out I had not resized the cases after running the decapping die. So empty, decap carefully and run through the die and then reload.

I feel a right fool but I'm guessing others have done things like that too.

Nothing wrong with the Nosler Ballistic Tips a good projectile.

Loaded 10 69g Targex in 223. today. Noticed 2 of them were loose, dam fired them & bugger me they clipped each other. Grouped better than the tight ones at about an inch.
Struggling with even neck tension at the moment, terrable Es. Tryed crimping which I never do & the experience as usual - not good. Fairly up their load so need some bullet tension. May be time to retire this brass so next step is to use once fired Lapua. On a change One thing at a time crusade. What a great hobby

6.5PRC test loads only.
Loaded 10 rnds 142smks with 52.8gr 2217 chronograph avg 2730fps SD was 6.7
10 rnds 140gr SST 52.8 gr 2218 not unloaded yet .

Yep, did similar last night. Primed cases, loaded powder, went to seat bullet. WTF, hadn’t sized cases. Luckily only eight cases so not a biggy.

Got some more 223 loads done
80gr eldm with 2208 got a ladder to check for pressure then a dozen at 24gr, if they shoot OK I'll load up the rest of the brass.
