Ugh. So far, I hate them. Hopefully shooting some more tomorrow. If I can't get them to shoot, I will have some up for free. I sure hope I can get them to shoot though.

Awesome. Still praying for you.

You guys do realize I just want to give away a BB gun to a kid for free, right? No one wants one for their little girl? Or a little boy would love it after a rattle can paint job.

Bump

All targets have been feathered or furred. Here were a couple from last year...

Match chamber, throated for the 5.4gr Copperhead or Daisy.

Jacket is being picked up by metau for a new youth hunter!

Gone.

Gone

Bump back up to the top. All items on page 1 are still here. If you want them, come get them. No more holding them, no shipping them.

This was never picked up, so it is still up for grabs. If you want it, come and get it.

First come......first served.

Ummm....price?

I have found a flier a very common occurrence with every NABLR I have tried. .264 142gr, .277 150gr, .284 175gr, .308 210gr. Even when I am shooting well.

I am going to try the 142 NABLRs one more time. I know my .260 can shoot sub .250" with 140 HVLDs. I have done a ladder test, and gotten a node for the 142 NABLRs. Then loaded up for groups, and could not get under 1". Going to try seating depth changes in .0400" increments to see if that brings them in. If not, I will save the rest for fire forming loads in other wildcat rounds.

12' up??? I always hung mine 20-30' up. Only tie I even got busted was by a flock or turkeys. Even had a lion sit off 50 yards watching the same tank I was for 30 minutes and he never saw me.

So I had a member and a friend ask me to do some load development for him on his brand new rifle. I thought I would start a thread about the steps I took for his load development and some results. A little rifle info: Rem 700 LA DBM action trued Krieger #5 fluted 1 in 9" twist @ 26" plus Vias brake Jewell HVR trigger @ about 1.5# McMillan stock Swaro X5 3.5-18x50 The components he brought me were as follows: 100 New matching lot # Nosler brass Nosler 160 gr. Accubond IMR 7828 powder Federal GM215M primers The good thing about Nosler brass is a lot of the prep work is done or not needed. Flash holes are drilled, not punched, so no need to debur flash holes. Primer pockets seeded no uniforming at all. Weight sorting was easy with the lots I had, because they weigh them and package them by weight in lot numbers. All the brass was within .002" for case length, so I didn't trim any of them. Neck thickness was spot on across 25 I checked randomly, with no variation at all. Brass weights ranged from 254.7 to 255.7 across all 100 pieces. That is as good as my Lapua brass. Checking the shoulder datum with a comparator, I got only .001" of difference across all 100 as well in the new brass. 2.1045" to 2.1055". Checked overall brass length on about 50 of them, and all were within .001" too, and at .015" shorter than max SAAMI case length of 2.500". The only thing I had to do for prep was to neck size them, as some were a bit dented around the necks. Plus, I wanted the same neck tension. Next, I weight sorted the 160 Accubonds and checked BTO lengths and recorded the info down along with everything else done so far for repeatability on future loadings. Across 200 Accubonds, I think weight ranged from 159.6 to 160.3 grains. OAL was an average of 1.403" w. a .0010" +/- and BTO was .822" +/- .0015". Next was annealing the brass. I measured max magazine length to ensure the cartridges would fit in the magazine. 3.685" if I remember correctly. I then checked seating depth to lands using an unsized neck case that I stretched out a bit by seating and pulling a bullet so it had neck tension enough to hold a bullet, but loose enough to let it moved with a little pressure. I measured jammed .0015" and just touching the lands lengths. I was also going to try the 175 NABLR, but have never gotten around to working on those yet. Easily fits in the magazine Plenty of bullet purchase Keeping accurate records is key to being able to recreate loads and tweak what is needed. Loaded up for break in, sight in, and ladder test. Bottom row is for break in and sight in. Then a ladder test of 13 rounds from 60.0 to 66.0 (above book max) in .5 gr. increments. After sight in during break in, I shot a 3 shot group to verify POI. Not bad for a brand new rifle with no load development. About 1" @ 100. Then I shot a ladder test @ 300 since I was by myself and walking down range after every shot gets tiresome. Results were a little different than what I was used to. But shows good potential from a rifle shooting 13 different charge weights at 300 yards. The cases fired in this chamber grew fro virgin brass as expected, to 2.115" to shoulder datum using the same comparator. o they grew about .010" after being fired in the new chamber. I set the die to bump the shoulder back .002" and resized the fired cases. After looking at the ladder test, I opted to try the node for charge weights 5/6/7 (62.0 to 63.0 of IMR 7828 & speeds from 2980 to 3070fps). I loaded up 3 rounds of each starting at 61.5 and going up in .5gr. increments to 63.5 and then went and shot for groups. Everything was under .75", but best was 62.5gr. @ .397" Then I started seating depth testing. Started out @ 2.783" CBTO, and went down on .0300" increments seating them deeper off the lands. After testing, I brought group sizes down to sub 1/4". To finish testing an verification, I chose a lousy day to test at long range. But I made the best of it. 15-25+mph winds made shooting at 892 yards interesting. But the results were pretty good for the conditions. I went up to 7W, and out in the flats hung a 12" x 18" steel. I had Taylor spotting for me. I dialed 16.5 MOA and held 5 MOA right. First shot was just left of target as called by Taylor. I held another .5 MOA right and hit left side of target. Held 6 MOA right and put the next 5 in a 6.5" group. Not the best, but I was very happy given the conditions. I was shooting from the bald hill I am pointing at. Came back and loaded up 100 with the recipe. Load development took my about 55 rounds total with verification. So 45 virgin brass loads, which I told him to practice with, and 55 once fired loads. All information is in the small notebook, from gun info, scope info, velocities, lengths, shot count, etc. Now all he has to do is practice with it, verify drops, and go kill something!

Did you check the classifieds? Seems like they pop up quite often on there.

.223 Wylde. Greyghost is spot on.

TTT

FL sized or just deprimed?
