That was it...

80 TTSX's.

Guaranteed to over penetrate...

he lost me at 14 grains of powder with a 50 grain bullet in a Hornet.

heres the best load data out of noslers book
.
.
.
.






seems the 7-08 gives up about 100 yds to the .257

esplain, puhlease

Where did you get the Hubble?

and a 162 gr a max load

Thats way too much info for me!

If your data is from Nosler's book, why does it reference www.hornady.com?

And what 120gr .284 bullet has a BC of .458?? Noslers's ballistic Tip is listed at .417 on their website. And Hornady's VMax is .365

dunno what yer talking about I have the .284 120 listed at .417
its the 120 .264 thats listed at .458
nosler load data plugged into hornady's balistic calculator.

Thread just keeps going, and going and going, where is the dead horse I want to kick him too

Hard to have a lawsuit since Weatherby has been monitering this thread since the beginning. Please don't over load it is very dangerous and will lead to problems.

I was being sarcastic he would never have a leg to stand on after his posts

With over 1 post per page, you have a few kicks in

And? You can enter whatever information you want in the ballistics calculator, it's not relevant. I entered 70 grs and it gave info. Your just dealing with external ballistics in your pics. Deal with internal such as:

relevant, theres that word again. nothings relevant in yer little world, balisitc calculators are irelevant
double WOW!
wtf r u talking about
you posted load data. I put said load data in a calculator
and its not relevant wtf

ya me thinks I wont be taking any of yer advice, on anything.

Man I take a little time out to go meet a fellow THF'er and I missed 50+ posts on this thread alone!

Then you really shouldn't be giving advise! I will continue to listen to Karnis, and allow him to work on all my rifles and loads, I think much safer than listening to a wanna be gun salesman at Academy

Same here was busy for a while and wow were ya'll busy. The only thing I will say if max load is as far as you should load according to saami yet some factory loads that are acceptable (to SAAMI standards) but show all the classic tell tale signs of overpressure when fired in some rifles. Now since these have been tested and checked prior to sale is it safe to keep shooting when you have to force the bolt open?

let me guess, was it a remington rifle doing that

Nope it was a Vanguard

i like my 260.

No a FN with factory Hornady custom ammo and a custom made .22-250 with Winchester ammo

Let me explain a little something to you vandumbguard, some of the folks your arguing with have forgotten more about handloading and shooting game than you've ever done.

Did you get all this experience in your 18 months or so of reloading experience boy, or just working the counter at Academy?

I won't argue your max load in your 7-08, though its dangerous. In some rifles exceeding max loads shows no pressure signs, especially in a newer rifle like yours.

But in any other rifle, be it another Vanguard, Model 70, Model 700, M-77, T-3, etc. etc. it may show signs, even dangerous ones, immediately.

So your example is irrelevant, someone could come along with a Model 700 and exceed the velocitys you got in your rifle with little to no pressure signs, another could come along with the exact model rifle as yours and never get over 3000 without showing pressure signs.

People who have been doing it alot longer than you have seen this, you will too after you get a little more time under your belt.

I would strongly suggest you try to be a know it all with your custmers at Academy, at least you'd have a better chance of them not realizing what an inexperienced blow hard you are.

BTW, did you get this massive amount of experience about how much better Vanguards are by the example of one that you own?

I had one Vanguard that was a POS, didn't hear me coming here babbling about how Weatherby Vanguards are complete pieces of junk did you? Thats because I've owned more than one and know they are decent rifles for the most part. After a little more experience you may realize the same.

By the way, love the little bit with you babbling about people getting their results from the internet. Then I'll be darned, you post a pic of data off the internet to back your babbling.

Either your nothing more than a troll or your really as ignorant as you make out to be.

Bill

NO! It couldn't be, because vanguard works the counter at Academy and he said this wasn't so!!

ya sounds like it
