Well I’ve been lucky I guess since the factory wood stock on my Lon Paul CZ Brono 602 458 Lott never cracked using a lead sled w/ four bags of lead shot was on it. That said, I’m going to pull it out here soon and wondered how much weight I should put on it?

I’ve been using the Berger 73 gr. BT Target for a decade now in my Remington Mil-Spec 223 that has a 1:9” twist and compared to everything else that’s useable, nothing has beat it for accuracy and kills in my experience. Berger uses it for testing for accuracy over everything else that they...

If you’re not dead set waiting for RL-26….. I just use whatever works at putting the bullet to the best possible POA, and run with it vs hoping it might pan out!?! After all, it might have lots of velocity, but not so much in the accuracy department. I’d rather hunt with a load that is...

Weatherby sure has been making some of the finest factory made rifles since moving to Wyoming! Sue’s rifle is PD beautiful, and so is your Accumark!

I didn’t shoot any of the Absolute Hammers, but instead chose to use the Power Hammer 30 cal 165 grain bullets in my 30’06 that has a 1:9” twist. I tested the 166 Hammer Hunters too, both behind H4350 and found them easy to find a load for. Sorry that I don’t have any experience using them...

Twenty plus years ago I used Gracy Travel for my Airline and firearms and I would highly recommend them!

Rifleman’s Team Challenge is really not much different than PRS, neither is for “Show” if you ever showed up to a Regional or National match. You’d more than likely walk away needing more practice with the level of competition at these matches unless you’ve shot them before, or have had formal...

New barrels tend to have higher velocities in the beginning and then either level off or begin to increase as the barrel gets broke in, and why it’s important to wait until you have a hundred rounds down the barrel or a little more depending on the steel. Otherwise you’ll be chasing one thing...

Years ago I built a 6.5/300 WSM and my rifle loved Retumbo, but at a much lower charge level. 65.5-66.0 using the 140 GameKing, and the 140 SMK’s in Winchester 270 WSM Brass, as the 300 WSM shares the same case dimensions. There’s not a lot of difference between a .264 and a .277. Had you...

If the chamber end was blackish/brownish it would have been Button Rifled.

I I would like to post the thread that the individual who shared the proper way to address your feet position to the point of aim using these quad sticks, but that information belongs to that individual and I don’t feel right about attaching his work. But he posted it on Africahunting.com...

I’m with Scotty on his recommendation! Although I settled on using a 225 TSX behind H4895 in my last Whelen. That said I had great luck with the old TBBC’s previously too, but in a wood stock in that same rifle. The Sierra 225 is a tough bullet that stands up well on Game.

I’m always excited after the load development process to get down to testing the load at distance from field positions. Luckily I’m able to do this on my property and not have to go anywhere. This past week I loaded up 100 rounds for testing with the 22 ARC to shoot off the Quad 4 Stable...

I was wondering if your Benchmark Barrel in a Button, or Cut Rifled? 5R type or number of grooves? I have two of the cut rifled that are carbon fiber wrapped in 5R, and a SS #4 .264'' that is Button rifled that I have not shot yet in 6.5 Creedmoor. The two cut rifled barrels I have not seen...

I’ve been shooting two different rifles in 25 cal in 1:7.5” twists and haven’t had any issues with jacket separation. A 25x47, and the 25/7 PRC. Both are using Berger bullets in the 133 to 135 range, that said, those jackets are just as thin as anything else you’d likely end up using. I have...
