What did you reload today?

I am working on finalizing a load for my 280AI M70.
 
Hah, that's great. One thing I'm looking at ordering this weekend is the .308 200 gr. Lazer for my 300 PRC. CEB told me it's NOT single feed and works great from mag boxes in 300 PRC. That bullet would be a hammer for a mountain rifle.

How’d those 200gr lazers work out?

I’ve got 250 pieces of once fired brass, a thousand magnum primers, and a couple of different powders set aside… I’m planning on working up a load for my 300 prc soon..

Was primarily considering 208gr LRX or 190gr cx.. but neither are in stock locally anywhere.. so if I’m ordering online I thought I might consider multiple options..

I haven’t loaded them yet but plan to soon. They look fantastic.
 
100 rounds of 16 gauge buckshot (12 pellets of #1 buck); 50 rounds of 12 gauge bismuth (duck load....1 1/4 ounce of #4) and 25 rounds of 20 gauge bismuth (1 oz of #5s).
 
I have been working up 275 Rigby loads using Norma 160 TipStrike and Vulkan bullets and North Fork 160’s. Can’t get the North Forks to the velocity I would like.

Safe shooting
 
Bought a new rifle in a totally unnecessary new cartridge I didn’t need. 26 Nosler. Loaded up 5 different loads to see what it likes. Attached a pic of it next to a 6.5 creedmore - also an unnecessary cartridge for another new rifle I didn’t need

Very happy…after getting my Lee crimp die in 470 NE I got both my CEB solids and Barnes TSX regulating within 0.6 inch’s with the same 84 grains of RL 15.5. before crimping my TSX was okay at within 2 inches with this load but after firing 4 groups with each there you have it…go figure

Had two 26 Noslers, RL133 and Berger 130 VLDH were deadly. My testing regime was one or two shots off the bench then let the barrel cool to ambient.

Pretty sure I have some of those 190cx that I won't be using. Shout if you still need them.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
