Eileen wanted me to let everybody know we just got in new supplies of the Berger and #7 Nosler manuals. The prices are $35 for the Berger and $28.50 for the Nosler, and both prices INCLUDE media mail to anywhere in the United States.

Eileen can provide quotes for shipping rates to other countries. Her e-mail and phone # are on the website.

John,

riflesandrecipes website not responding. Let me know if there are special steps. Been a subscriber for a few years.

Hi Derryl,

Seemed to be responding when I just tried it, but the solution for any problem with the site is to e-mail or call Eileen: [email protected]/406-521-0273.

I hope you pay her well JB!

With all the hats she wears, including IT manager, accountant, chef, and greeter, it's amazing she can keep her head up.

Not to mention article and book writer! She's getting pretty busy, in fact she's thinking of hiring an assistant.

JB,

Thanks for the heads-up. BTW is Hornady #9 brand new, and is it available via R&R?

That's the new Hornady, but we don't carry it.

That's typical of me; I did this backwards. I ordered a Nosler #7 from Rifles & Recipes a couple hours ago, and now I see this thread.

Hi John,

Thanks for checking. I was able to get online about an hour after your email. Been enjoying Rifle Looney News and your Handloader/Rife/Hunter articls.

MD, I'm going to call and order a copy of the Nosler #7 anyway, but I'm curious if they, or anyone, has shot any .300 Savage data with IMR 8208 XBR. The stuff works very nicely in my .223, and I'd like to use it in my .300 and .30-30 as well, since I have plenty around. I've found .30-30 data, but, alas, noone seems to shoot new .300 Savage data anymore! The paperbound Hodgdon/IMR manual doesn't list the .300 at all .

For .300 Savage I still haven't found a load for a 150 gr bullet better than 42 gr of 4064. Granted that these days its over max but, given a discussion involving Mule Deer in the Savage Collector's Forum a '50s or later 99 should be able to deal with that pressure. Well, maybe 44 grain would be better but even I'm not quite that foolish.

Thanks, Skidrow. That was my uncle's load, if I remember correctly, and it killed a lot of Eastern Montana mule deer. I've used IMR 4064 (first powder I ever loaded, with a Lee Loader and a .308) in the .300 as well, but I'm looney enough to really want to try 8208. Not cause I have to, but cause I want to!
