Also just finished a mild load of 10 for my wife's 7mm-08 with 120 SST and 40gr of Varget.
going to give that a go as well as a 10 shot group with the 300 BLK for my daughter with 120gr Sierra Pro Hunter and 19gr of CFE Blk.
Will see if it all works out ok.
I sure hope so.
Ill give it a try on the next range session and see how it does.
If it gets within 1" at 100 i am 100% fine with that.
I just loaded up some for my 243 Win using Forms method.
1 at book max of 45.5 with H4831SC, 1 at 46 and 1 at 46.5.
Ill see which starts to show pressure signs and then move...
So @Harvey_NW
For my wifes rifle. would you suggest just picking a poweder charge on the lower end (not lowest) and running 10 rounds to see how it does.
If it does not shoot. then change bullet or powder?
Another big thing for trying the ladder method is I also have young children and a wife that loves to hunt also.
My kids dont shoot my larger caliber rifles that have a lot of recoil.
My wife isnt going to go to the safe before deer season and grab one of my 300s is still newer to hunting and...
I have one rifle that I am going to hopefully get to the range with this weekend that I will be going through the Simple Form way.
long as it works fine I'm all for it.
I am on page 30 of reading every post. Just because I knew that was the answer I was going to get.
Not saying I am one way or the other. But still trying to learn.
I am still learning on the ladder load development part. Just started my first ladders with 2 rifles. My 243 Winchester and also my 6.5 CM.
The question I have is for the ones using the Satterlee method of the 10 shot ladder load.
What would you consider a "node"
What I mean by that is do you...
Haven't ben doing much in my reloading.
I am heading to the range tonight after work to get some ladder data on 2 rifles.
Did order some stuff today i needed to get back to reloading all the pistols I have.
Have a bunch of Pistol rounds to load up.
For me deer hunting I want a big cutting area.
I'm using Sevr this year myself, but my brother is using the Deadmeats.
I think personally you would be fine with either really. It all is up to you and what you have confidence in.
Biggest thing that i didn't care for on the Deadmeat heads is the...
Looking at getting another Nightforce Scope.
I have a SHV 4-14x56 that is the non Illuminated reticle. But am wanting to get the next in a MIL.
So that puts me looking at the 4-14x50 F1.
It looks like there are 2 Mil reticles
MIL-XT & MIL-R-SHV
Do any of you feel one is better than the other...
Would think that any of the sat messengers like InReach or Zoleo would work well.
I have a new in the box Zoleo sitting on the shelf that I havent even activated yet.
When I was shooting a hand held I just put mine in the top elastic holder on my AGC harness I Had at the time. Held it very well.
Good little DIY holder you have there though.
Need to get tires on my truck in the next month or so.
35x12.50x20.
Two that I am mainly looking at is a Pit Bull PBX A/T Hardcore and also a Cooper Evolution M/T
Do any of you have any experience with either of these tires?
Never cared for the climber stands myself. Always used a lock on.
I Have a XOP in the shed that is a nice Cast Alum stand that I have had about 4 years and its never been put in a tree.
Just got to where I use my Saddle more now days.
