...LGS has a original Mod. 54 in .30 Govt, anyone have an idea what it's worth?, it's marked $500, seems like a 'bargain' to me...

...well, E.S. is a measure of 'statistical consistency'. not accuracy, but 'accuracy' depends on consistency, the more 'consistent' everything, be it 'trigger control', cheek weld, neck tension, or ES, the higher the probability of 'accuracy'...

...another chart (downloadable) for cross reference, which it was more complete, nut I like how it's laid out by "brand"... http://www.t2ammo.com/data/_uploaded/fi ... 0Chart.pdf

... .240 Weatherby, a 6mm Grendel w/ a 1:7 twist would be a lot cheaper & easier for a MSR...

...I care a small waterproof container w/ a bic lighter, a couple of 'tea' candles, & a small baggy full of magnesium shavings, the tea candles last about a 1/2hr. each, the magnesium burns very, very hot...

...I pretty much run RL-17 in all my WSM, WSSMs, 3200fps w/ 165grs., 3050fps w/ 180's in the .300 WSM, all of 'em seem to prefer near MAX loads. I'm getting 2800fps w/ 220gr. Sierra SBT's out of the .325, accuracy has been good w/ all of 'em...

What would you do and why? I wouldn't "overthink" it, I'd just get a box of 250gr. NP's & see where they printed @ 50yds. w/o changing my scope, but Scotty's right, you need a .325 WSM BLR Takedown in .325 WSM, loaded up w/ some 250gr. Woodleighs, or maybe a LH Short Trak might be a real good...

...tough, very similar, as in almost identical, construction, to the 220gr 8mm, very accurate out of my buddy's .338-06 Ultralight...

...uhhh, gee, let's see, how about a high B.C. 215-225gr. 8mm AB/ABLR???...

...the old 700 triggers were easy to adjust, pizzpoor design, but easy to adjust by people who didn't understand there were two adjustment screws, letting up on the trigger spring w/o adjusting the sear engagement was a recipe for disaster, which happened on an all too regular basis. Which led...

Are you looking @ shooting some antelope or a once in a lifetime buck? Kinda a different process, some areas have 2000+ tags available, limited public access, relatively few good bucks, other areas have a much higher ratio of good bucks & public land, a lot less tags & a lot higher demand, some...

...Thanks, Dwh, got caught up doing fishing trips, irrigation, & getting ready for elk season...

...my search-fu is weak, can someone run powder reccommendations for the 140gr. RFD/ 6.5 Creedmoor/ 26" barrel???...

...I've killed a number of elk & mule deer w/ the 165gr. Sierra HPBTs, excellent accuracy & terminal ballistics. You might suggest the 165gr. Federal Fusion for practice rounds, wouldn't surprise me if they shot to the same POI a bit cheaper...

...wouldn't hesitate to use those Speers, your ballistics would be very similar to a 180gr. .308, you'ld still have plenty enough velocity & energy to ensure bullet performance @ 400yds., I'd be inclined to go w/ a 200yd. 'zero' [+2.5/100 (High point), -4"/250, -10"/300, -18"/350, -28"/400 or...
