Recently I switched bullets in my 6.5 Creedmoor from the 140 grain Nosler Custom Competition bullet, to the 145 grain Barnes Match Burner. The obvious reason for me was the high G7 BC value. I bought a box of 100 bullets at first and they shot pretty well and were reasonably consistent, so I...

Eo ai have wanted one of these since Browning announced them last year. With my birthday last week my wife told me to buy one if I could find one. Lucky for me I found one in 308 Win. Overall really nice gun. I think it could have been a little nicer for $1,100, but still pretty nice. The...

I have been looking for a .223 Rem bolt rifle for almost a year now. In my local area, anything .223, 5.56 or 308 is non existent. Last night I found a Savage 110 Predator in .223 Rem. Of course, I quickly decided to buy it and put my spare Bushnell Engage Tactical 3-12x40 scope on it. I would...

Anyone here know if a barrel maker that has a wait time of less than 5 months? Would like to rebarrel my Ruger American and be ready to shoot by this spring. Right now Shilen, Preferred and Criterion have 16-20 week wait times

Anyone have a good G7 BC number for this bullet? I have been unsuccessful in finding one. Thanks

I intend to bed a factory Remington 700 ADL stock. I know that some epoxy resins have trouble sticking to some polymers. My intention is to use 60 grit sand paper to rough up the entire interior surface of the stock. Then I intend to drill some very small lateral holes in the polymer to aid in...

Considering Jewel, Timney and Jard. Possibly Rifle basics. Don't want to spend more than $200 or so either. What do you guys have? Pros and cons? I will probably want to be in the 1.5 pound range for pull weight

Today I came across some Speer DeepCurl bullets for my 270. I was looking for a heavier bullet that was actually available and fit what I was looking for. Preferably bonded, reasonably high BC (for 270 hunting bullets), not polymer tipped and cheaper than Nosler Accubonds ($40) for a box of 50...

So Much like some others around this forum, the winter slows my shooting a great deal. In my spare time over the next 4-5 months I think it is time for a new project. I have a Remington 700 ADL in 270 Win. After rifle season my intention is to tear it apart and begin building something...

I have loaded for a 270 WSM recently and a 270 WIN years ago. I just bought a TC Venture 2 rifle in 270WIN since I was so thoroughly impressed with my TC Venture in 270WSM. I am posting this here as a feeler to see what powders treat you all the best with 130 grain pills. The only powder I have...

So I have been shooting and loading for the 6.5 Creedmoor for a couple years now. I have found my share of good shooting loads in that time, but always feel the need to keep tinkering. It seems that I have found a powder charge that shoots well with any bullet I seat on top of it. With certain...

Picked up a Henry Single Shot in 44 Remington Magnum this week. Really nice gun for it's price. This is the first handgun caliber I have loaded for. Looking for suggestions on favorite powders with the heavy 300 grain projectiles. I am thinking on the slower burning edge of powders suitable for...

What are the disadvantages of using a.primer pocket reamer like the Lyman tool. To remove primer crimps? Will reaming the pockets slightly result in a decrease in longevity of my brass? I have around 2000 crimps to remove and doing it by hand with a chamfer tool is too time consuming. I am...

Finally got that 147 grain ELD bullet shooting the way I want it to. Right at Hodgdon's max published load for H-4350. These are way too long to fit my magazine so I am gonna order the MDT Magazine without binder plate. This is a Maximum published load. Neither myself or TFL can be held...

So I have decided for my one mile shooting I am gonna can the Creedmoor I'm favor of something more powerful. I have decided that the 338 Lapua Magnum should fit my needs. I have also decided on the rifle I am going to Purchase to start with. A Savage 110 Elite Precision. The choice for the...

Almost bought a Sig Sauer Tango 4 today. Question is can you remove the Zero stop? Sig claims 90 MOA of elevation adjustment, but right out of the box it only has 46 MOA of upward adjustment from being bottomed out. I was gonna buy that scope and a 30 MOA rail for my Savage, but I fail to see...

So I have been thinking about ways to tighten up my Creedmoor loads a little bit. Decided to try a new bullet and start load development again. Might have found my new load for this Savage Tactical rifle. New Hornady brass CCI 200 140 grain Sierra Matchking, loaded to 2.810" (At the lands) not...

So I finally got some dies for the grendel. I was was pleasantly stunned with the results from the following load. First, I am shooting the 95 grain v max. for multiple reasons. lightweight frangible bullet to prevent over penetration. I am using Power Pro Varmint 30.75 grains. That Vmax...

Anyone here have any data for the 6.5 Grendel, using a 95 grain Vmax and Power Pro Varmint? None of my manuals have that powder with that bullet. I have Power Pro Varmint on hand so I don't want to buy powder unless I have to. I Appreciate any help.
