As wvbuckbuster stated try a different 140 bullet if that’s the weight you want. Possibly a 140 GK and a 140 pro-Hunter. Some guns like a flat based bullet. In regard to 140 AB did you shorten them up to sammi or shorter. They seem to like to jump in many rifles. Or if you ve got magazine...

If you ve got Retumbo give it a try with 95-105 gr bullets. You ll have to work your way up but if you ve got a chronograph, some dial calipers and do some research it can be done. I shot a few Retumbo loads but didn’t have enough powder to make it worth while. Don’t hold me to this but I...

I d second your 3200 fps estimate. My 24” Vanguard perked up with R22 or slower. R26 will get 3300 fps+ with 100 gr TGC … the 240 is significantly overbore and likes the slow burners.

…. and “if” truly like new. Personally not a big fan of re-done electronics … to each his own.

SPF on another forum.

Great big game hunting scope guys. Good light gathering, ample magnification, light weight and compact !

Whichever powders you decide to try, make sure you ve got lots of them …. I m guessing 55-60 cartridges per lb of powder !! 💥😳😂

Just pulled data, doing 3300 fps. Still hauling the mail. Recoil similar to my 300 Win Mag with 180 s.

87-89 grs of US869 typically good. Work up to it. I’m using 89 grs with 147 Eldm and Weatherby brass. 3350 fps

Below. More available if anyone requests.

Took a few photos to give everyone a better idea of scope condition. As stated, only mounted and did 3-4 range sessions. Mounted in Burris Signature rings ( inserts) thus not a mark anywhere on scope. Throw lever, sticker, adjustment wrench and manual all inbox. CDS still available for buyers...

Bought this a year or so ago. Never hunted with, mounted to rifle and 3 or 4 range trips; that’s it. I m building a LR steel gun and it’s going to get a high magnification target scope. Box, manuals, all accessories come with it. Custom CDS dial has not been cut/ordered so the buyer will get...

56.5 to 57.5 in 06 with 165 gr bullet is a very well known and typically accurate load. Get in that range of charge if no pressure and try different seating depths. You ll find a winner if rifle is capable.

That ll work nicely

I would venture a guess that some of the low supply is not caused by them not being able to keep up but also some “right sizing” of production to try to keep from having excess inventory … no doubt first 2-3 years of Covid was panick buying and not being able to produce enough. Now, might be a...
