  1. Nosler 129 Gr Accubond LR

    When I get my 256 up and running I'll be using them. I know the 142's work well in both my 264 and 6.5x55. Those things give me the tracking jobs I like best - 3 feet straight down.

  2. Cant figure out why yall want to reload at all

    hmph, some 'Custom' shop. They don't even offer 256 Newton!

  3. Brass weight descrepancies - how much is too much?

    I was gifted 100 pcs of 7mm-08 ppu brass. I had nothing better to do so I weighed them. The majority fell into 173-176 gr in weight. My questions are: 1) for a hunting rifle, how much difference would the 3 gr difference make? 2) for a target rifle, how much difference would you accept? .1 gr...

  4. Anyone loaded for a 256 Newton?

    Here are just a few of the bore scope pics: Near the chamber is the first one: About halfway down the barrel: And finally, about an inch back from the muzzle. Surprisingly, the muzzle is in good shape: Thinking of trying some of the Tubbs lapping bullets and see if it does anything to...

  5. Anyone loaded for a 256 Newton?

    Yes, I know, it's been FOREVER since I updated this thread. I took 10 rounds of the supposed 'perfect' load out and it shot into a 4" group at 100 yards. So, I broke out the bore scope and checked. Ever seen a city street so filled with potholes and cracks that you couldn't find the pavement...

  6. One question----seeking opinions

    I find it interesting that people here are all bent up because of an article in that bastion of pro-2A news - the NY Times and by the 2A friendly folks at CNN et al (and yes, I'm including Fox in that). All of this because some supposed 'dirt' was thrown out there, put together to sound the...

  7. Cant remember what its called, basically a brass-less chamber muzzle loader

    Didn't catch the brand, but a guy at the range this morning was proofing loads in one. At 100 yards he was printing 1-hole groups. Seemed to hold up through at least three shots before he needed to clean. First shot on a clean bore was about an inch high. Following shots were literal one-hole...

  8. What's the Best Powder for 90 grain Scenar in 243 Win

    I'm running IMR4350 in one of my 243's. It's a hunting rifle and pretty much straight factory. Here's a 4 shot group at 500 shot on a day with 20 mph winds from 10 o'clock. Bullet is the 90 gr AB WLR primers and Winchester brass.

  9. First Sign of a Barrel Wearing Out ......

    not a competition shooter, but, the two that I have had 'shot out' both had their groups go from .5-.6 to over an inch. I have one now that I'm chasing the lands on to try and get the last few rounds out of the barrel, but soon, it will be replaced as well. Edit to update: Currently, with my...

  11. how many firings on wildcat fireform rounds before bumping shoulder?

    I'm having to produce cases for my 256 Newton. Using 1x fired .270 brass, trim, neck down then fully re-size. I'm on my 3rd firing and still not feeling any resistance to the brass. I figure one or two more firings and I'll have to go back and bump. I know I could use 25-06 brass and just size...

  12. I've gone and done it now!!!

    Sitting here looking at two sets of 7mm-08 dies. Forgot I'd ordered the first set.

  13. Anyone loaded for a 256 Newton?

    Ok, this morning I got up early and loaded some IMR7828 pushing the 123 Scenars. Ran loads from 52 gr up to 54.4 in .3 grain increases. I've never seen a cartridge that just suddenly decided 'THIS IS THE LOAD' like this one did. At 53.5 I shot this 3-shot group: I had to look at the backer to...

  14. Songs that "Stick like Glue"

    Here's one that just stays with me: Aptly named and point of view. To top it all, done (or rather, re-done) by a master.

  15. Songs that "Stick like Glue"

    Would have loved to have been here for this one. 21 minutes that stole the show. And then there's this one: And this one always brings back fond memories of my paternal grandmother.

  16. Warped sense of humor

    I wish I'd taken a picture. I saw a car with a woman driver. Hanging out of the trunk was a man's tie. Under that was a bumper sticker that said "ex-husband in trunk"

  17. Anyone loaded for a 256 Newton?

    Zero, I picked up some 123 gr Lapua's to try as well. I chose the 7828ssc as I have 2 lbs of it and don't use it for anything else. I also will try some RL23 I have and don't use. I can still try some IMR4350 to boot. So, load development is going to be fun! ;)

  18. Load development in hot weather ??

    Temps in hunting season here in my part of Texas may run from the sub-freezing mark to 80 degrees. Even temp-insensitive powders, you'll see a change in the grouping and in the drop at distance. If the majority of your shots are inside of 300 yards, no big deal. If, however, you are loading for...

  19. Magnetospeed

    I say go ahead and get the MS. It should be more accurate on the recording of your velocities when you're doing the 10-shot method. But, when you DO find that 'node', take the MS off to check your groups. In my experience, the 10-shot method doesn't work for EVERY cartridge/rifle combination...

  20. Anyone loaded for a 256 Newton?

    Thanks again to everyone. I'm still playing with it. Making brass is somewhat of a pain having to trim the .270 brass down quite a bit to get it to the proper length. With temps near and over 100 degrees, I'm not venturing into the reloading room (aka the garage) much. I have noticed that the...
