SPF

This is a brand new, never removed from the box gun. Just arrived at my door from browning this morning (pm me for the story). I'll add a 20MOA browning picatinny rail for free. Looks like a sweet rifle, very light and compact. $1300 shipped to your FFL. Here's the link to the gun on...

Looks like the bulldog is a 4 inch “stockman”. Probably one of the early ones. I’ll say $100.

Onterio SPF to G19Jeeper

all these are used but in good condition. Details as follows. All prices OBO. Fixed Blades (all with sheathes included) Cold Steel “Culloden”. I see these go for several hundred bucks, but mine has some staining and dings. It’s also a factory second. It’s very much functional, if you’re...

Price drop - $200 for ammo

$175 shipped. Great shape, I just use single-stage these days.

Ammo still avalable

So I switched to Retumbo and 175gr bergers. Still using Peterson brass and WRLM primers. I’m getting a little “click” at the top of the bolt lift even at the bottom end of the load range (77 to 78 grains). My velocity is right around 3000fps at 78 grains, so I feel like I shouldn’t be over...

Using WLRM primers. Yeah, I’m quite new at this, so being careful

I’m .050 off the lands. Supposedly that’s a good place to start for accubonds.

So, I worked up some loads. At 77 grains I had a flattened primer, and 3175 fps. Given that the velocity at max loading is supposed to be 3230, I’d say 77grains is pretty close to the top. I’m going to work up loads in the 74-76 grain range and see how they do.

Working on load development with H1000 with 160gr AB’s. Nosler’s website has a load range of 77-81. The reloading manual has 74-79 grains. Anybody using H1000 for 28 nos care to share your load data? Somewhere between 74-81 grains is a big spread, wondering where folks actually land.
