    Nosler e-tips - how far off the lands?

    Well, I haven't tried it with the .257 but yes, for my 7-08 I use the hornady tool with the threaded case and push the bullet until it touches the lands and then back off the oal by a few thou to get minimal jump. I think for that rifle I was also somewhat limited by mag length and ended up .025...

    Nosler e-tips - how far off the lands?

    Thanks all! I do remember hearing that this action has a lot of freebore... I'll pull it out and see if I can get to .050 off the lands, but I'm guessing you're right... I'll be constrained by magazine length before I ever get there. I haven't loaded for this particular rifle yet, so we'll have...

    Nosler e-tips - how far off the lands?

    I just picked up some 100 grain .257 e-tips and want to build a load for my .257 bee... but sniffing around I hear tell of potential pressure issues, even at moderate charges, that the ttsx doesn't have. Does anyone here have experience with this, or know how far from the lands one should seat...

    7mm-08 favorites

    I've used the 140g AB on elk. This year I took a moose with a 150g partition, pushed with 43.7g of H414. I haven't chronographed this load, but I suspect it's pretty humble in the velocity department. For all-around hunting I might be tempted to try the Hornady 150g ELD-X or the 150g Nosler...

    Best 7mm08HT for under $750?

    I'll third the Weatherby vanguard... I picked up one of the "range certified" (comes with Bell & Carson stock - pillar bedded) for ~$900 CDN. The action is made by Howa to Weatherby's specs and the stock is great for the money - waaaaaaay better than the normal Vanguard.

    Torn between .257 Rob & .270 for this years hunt

    Sounds like you're already leaning towards the Bob, so I'd say use whatever is calling to you. The .257 is plenty for big whitetails!

    What's your favorite bullet

    I'm fond of Accubonds, and really keen to experiment more with the ttsx and e-tip, but it's really hard to argue with this logic. If there could only be one choice, near or far, through game both thick and thin... you can't beat the Partition.

    Thoughts about 7mm-08 140 grain NAB on elk

    Dropped an Alberta cow elk with this exact combo two years ago. Did the job just fine.
