That Tropicalia is high on my list of favorites.

I had a few of those this past week while I was in Rome taking a class. I'm more of a poverty punch aka natural light drinker myself.Yeah that batch of powders, LRP, and Tropicalia was high cotton in my garage last night
My experience with Hunter that I remember has been with a semi-auto Remington 243 with copper and Interlocks. It shoots as good as anything else in that gun, which is not a glowing endorsement.I used Hunter in some .243 to try. I don't remember if they were copper or not...I still need to pull the rest. I don't have that much experience with RamShot powders. I started in the middle of the range...fired the first five and thought a couple were sticky (didn't have my glasses)...the second 5 were more than sticky...didn't fire the last 5....one more thing I need to get back to. I hear a .223 isn't good dear medicine...so my candy ask was going to try a .243.
What twist? Guys out west love the heavy for caliber match bullets. I’ve only killed one antelope with a 300 but one of my hunting partners destroys lots of critters with one.Just ordered a Tilka T3X in 300 WM- thinking to work up a load with Sierra game kings or something similar in this rifle., any suggestions?
I’d shoot a tough bullet if your shots are going to be within 200 yards or on cow sized game.Just ordered a Tilka T3X in 300 WM- thinking to work up a load with Sierra game kings or something similar in this rifle., any suggestions?
I am thinking deer sized game and 150-450 yard shots mostly. Have an agricultural field that has a 450 yard range setup on it- last year I shot a doe at 400 with the TTSX and got great results- but thinking mainly that spot for hunting with this rifle, along with range trips.I’d shoot a tough bullet if your shots are going to be within 200 yards or on cow sized game.
1:10” in the Tikka 300. My Browning is 1:8” I believe- I am sure I will try my handloaded TTSX just to see how they group- but really thinking of this rifle for more big field deer hunting and less for elk. So more looking for a “cheaper” bullet for targets and long range deer. TTSX’s at $.90 each get expensive.
The browning is already setup and ready to roll for October, unless this rifle just shoots that much better with the TTSX’s.
I’d definitely go copper, bonded, or Partition with that horsepower at 200 and in shooting shoulders, but at 400 a 165 Gameking should kill like lightning in the shoulder or at point blank range if you stay in the lungs. I’ve had great luck with those bullets over IMR 4350 in 30-06 as well as with IMR 4831 in 300 Win mag.I am thinking deer sized game and 150-450 yard shots mostly.

don't forget a headspace set...and then there is the rim thickness headspace gauge for .17 & .22Last couple of years been building up my reloading equipment. Finally got a Hornady Comparator . Now I can be more accurate with my seating depth. Rolled some 30-06 150gn Accubond. Hope the rain hold off Saturday so I can give them a ride.
Jester their are more gadgets to this hobby than I ever dreamed of... Yes those are on my list as well as an annealing machine.don't forget a headspace set...and then there is the rim thickness headspace gauge for .17 & .22
