    My parents gave me a new Ruger No1B in 257 Roberts for my 21st birthday. Over the many years since then I have shot several red deer with it and all have dropped in their tracks. After reading that...

    I find that theory relates to barrel harmonics. The charge that means the bullet leaves the barrel when the pressure wave is at the other end of the barrel. Speed of the pressure wave vs speed of the...

    I played with IMR4064 and 95 grain Nosler ballistic tips, incredible combo in the 243. I put a load together as a curiosity and had 3 powder charges loaded up at 0.5 grain increments. Third group...

    Yes, that's roughly how I do initial load development when wanting to work up a completely new load. I can't find a pic I wanted to use to illustrate this. Basically though with a new load my brass,...

    In my experience ( no claim of expertise here ) it's a combination of factors including a chosen powder and everything has to come together to find an accurate load. It's where handloading...

    It will be the burn rate as well. Anything that can affect the initial impluse of the powder going off in the chamber and how it burns going down the barrel in conjunction with each rifles inherent...

    There are many variables that can affect accuracy, one of which is barrel harmonics. These can vary according to the burning characteristics of the powder. The theoretically correct powder will start...

    grandpamac Mitchell's in dvk have or at least did have a Winchester 257r complete with a pile of cases, projectiles, factory ammo and dies. It looked hardly to have been used if your still itching.

    Was a favorite of mine a few years ago, had a couple of improved also. The late Tony Hawkins rebarreled a Browning BAR for me in standard 257R, sold it prior to the "buy back" so didn't have to hand...

    Yep, back about 1995 I built one on a medium action BSA Hunter, though it was an Ackley Improved version. Would send 100gr Hornady or Nosler BT out at just over 3300fps with 2213. I tried 115gr BTs...
