None, zero, nilch, nada.

I have all the loads that I shoot down on paper that I hunt with and see no real reason to change them up.

Now however I have a .270 Weatherby that I need to start building up one for along with a .348 Winchester since I am almost out of the factory rounds.

I reloaded and chronographed a bunch of 2.75" 12 gauge crow loads the other day.

Pushing 1-1/4 ounces of 7.5 shot at 1550 fps. I'm pretty sure I could kill a grizzly with these suckers...

I call them my Gas Gun Only Crow Loads. lol

Need to try a something different for 280AI 168gr load, 300 win mag 200gr load also. Maybe try to use more Rl 23 instead of Rl22 well at least see if said guns like it better.

6.5 Grendel my 11 year old Son's new toy. A Howa mini action, 20" Heavy TB, on a Boyds Zombie Thumbhole stock.
Settled on 123 SST over TAC, Lapua brass & Federal premium match primers.

I get all my brass prep all done and seat primers. The longest & hardest is done so all I need to do is load them when I need more rounds.

Thanks for the kick in the pants! That's exactly what I need to get going on so when the weather is nicer I can just load some up and go! I have a custom 280 AI I had built and I want to try some 140 gr. Accubonds in it. It was simple getting the 140 gr. Partitions to shoot well so I don't think it will be tough to get it to work also. I need to load up some more ammo for my other rifles. I like to have a nice stock on hand.

Sir care to share ?
I don't remember powder count, would have to look at my notes but it was an H1000 load. I used the Nosler 180 grain bullets, I will have to look at it precisely.

That gun loved the Weatherby factory 180 grain ammo as well.

I talk all of this in past tense because truthfully I haven't done a lot with it the last few years. My Savage 111 with the Hornady ammunition has been absolutely lights out and therefore I haven't needed to do much cooking.
