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
