Hi Elvis!

Thanks for your information. Now I have a bit more to watch.

stefan, when I look at the data, I see the 200 TSX with the advantage of velocity and BC which together will deliver higher energy on impact with flatter trajectories. That's a win-win in my book.

BTW, nice avatar, stefan!

Hi SlimJim!

Sure looks charging data is interesting. I'll have to buy a pack of TSX bullets and gunpowder, I get to see what your gun likes the charge.

Thanks! I like it, too! I´ve gotm it from my relatives in B.C., Canada.

Vihtavuori has good powder, but always be carefull when using their loading data. Didn't check their latest data but I know that they had f.e. very big mistakes in the conversions grain to gram of their 30/30 win data. And often they make me wondering why f.e. they give different data on almost the same bullets (only different producers) and on the other hand they never specify the primers nor the brass they use.

By the way, when living in Sweden, cann't you use Norma bullets? Their 180 grs silver spitser with its yellow plastic point was long time my favourit in the .300 WM, till they became a little bit too expensive.

Hi!

A friend of mine who is very good at handloading have found two explosive devices perfect for my Husqvarna .308 in 1900: a. I have Lapua FMJ 8 g to scorer and bird hunting and Lapua Mega 9.72 g bullet for deer hunting and beaver hunting. Judgement here two different charges shoot so perfectly, so I do not need to change the view. It is Vihtavuori's gunpowder in both cartridges.

Yes, I could do that but where I live in Sweden so I have 50 km to the Finns and Finnish balls they are cheaper there than here in Sweden. Is it enough to have the trip paid off and you have a nice trip to another country.

I have used Lapua before great stuff.

A persom I know who works with glass engraving has two whiskey glass with my avatar as a motif. Do you like them???

A lot of friends who do competition use the Lapua Scenars and I myself sure often use Vihta's powder. I only told you to be carefull with their loading data. Alltough most finnish people speak English realy well, maybe they are not so good in mathematics or in translating numbers

Very classy glasses

I use the 180 nosler balistic tips in a .320 Howell and 8x56M.S. and have loaded 8x68 with them they seem to work with a variety of velocities. from 2200-3000 f.p.s. (muzzle). They sound alot like those norma's you can get I don't know what the jacket thickness is.
