Probably no +peak 7 prc soon as that would hurt 7 backcountry sales

Anyone seen the blaze orange color Boyd’s stock?

New high pressure steel alloy cases increase velocity 250+ fps. Supposed to be reloadable. I would be interested for hunting use in 308, 06 etc if the hunt area has shots over a quarter mile. or maybe a fast twist 25-06 for windy places

In a crowded safe, are gun socks a good idea to prevent scratches? If so, what is your favorite fabric? Absorbent cotton or hydrophobic polyester? Safe is not in a commonly humid climate.

These are 50 yard shots, as they are reduced loads. (Wish they were 100 yard results) (Also wish they still made I4759) Sure is fun when everything comes together. 25-270, Springfield 03 action, Grandad Oscar's stock, 1960's Redfield Scope Left is 10 shot group using 19 grains Surplus...

I think the primers. The velocities were wild. I still have a few dozen of the load that shoots good. What I got last time I'm going to try them again and chrono. Didn't like the slick fabric anyway, it made it hard to get everything centered for the next shot as the gun moved so much...

A load that previously was giving nice 3 shot sub moa groups. Some sub 1/2". This time I got an 1 1/2"+ horizontal string and much higher and varied velocities. The variables 1. This time tried magnum primers 2. set my bipod on a slick piece of fabric like my benchrest online friend recommended...

The PRC requires a magnum length action.

Good ideas This batch has many firings and I have lots of brass in this caliber so I don't mind discarding the few and just use the old primers for cast low pressure loads.

Checked the primers Old Federal from wooden trays are seating more easily than modern ones in new brass perfect storm

25-06 has about 1/2 the recoil of 30-06 depending on load choices and has great point blank range Practicing with cast or subsonic loads prevents flinching. Get titegroup/subsonic load data for various cartridges (308, etc) Hodgdon

light loads, 240 grain cast 5 grains titegroup 6 grains red dot wife and her friends like them I kinda like a little more excitement, but still easy on the hands 8 grains titegroup

Plinking with some old cast bullets. 25-270, 80 grain cast bullets, 12 grains Unique. One failed to fire. Buddy shows me there is no primer in the cartridge??? Look into the cartridge box. I knew the primer pockets were a bit loose---

Working on that too. last time made an upside down T with dark duct tape and stuck an 1 1/2" orange circle at the intersection. Seem better than some targets Hold just below the circle/intersection. Better than a dot or a cross alone I think.
