    12 years old. 3x3 Muley buck at around 300 yards. Model 70 7mm Mag with 140g CT NBTs.

    R700 223 Wylde @ 1040 yards

    It's a lot of fun with the 223, that's for sure! Ya, it's right at about a minute of elevation. About as good as I'm gonna get with it, simply because 223 is just not known for low spreads. This load has like a 50 ES depending on the day. The CB was totally my fault. I thought it would be a...

    R700 223 Wylde @ 1040 yards

    Took the R700 223 Wylde with 80.5g Bergers out again this evening. Shot 10 rounds at 1040 yards at the 20" plate. CB was just over the top, the next 9 is what you see. Wind was pretty light at 1-2mph and consistent, but every now and again it would pick up just a tad. 8 of the 10 went into...

    M70 coyote light 243

    I'll be picking one of these up in a month or two. My cousin is selling it to me for a price I can't refuse. No real use for it, but I have a couple ideas anyway...I already have 3 LR rifles that weigh 16-17#. A 223, 6 Creed, 7-300 Win mag. So my thought was to make this a lighter alternative to...

    Universal reloading manual

    I like having and using both to cross reference. Quite a few of my best loads have not came from a book, rather from my own testing/curiousity or working around someone else's pet load, of course after cross referencing. The hodgon manual is pretty decent for a quick do all on most of the...

    .223 Coyote Load?

    60g vmax would be a good one to try.

    A little too small

    I'm not so sure that fence is adequate for such a beast!

    Powder consistency with Dillon 550B

    .1g seems really good to me for thrown charges from a progressive. I'd be more than happy with it.

    223 @ 1040

    A nice accurate bolt action 22 LR is also a great cheap training tool. I shoot a lot through my CZ457 out to 300, and occasionally 4-500. Keeps me sharp with bench manners and breathing/follow through technique. Can't go wrong with a Tikka. I would opt for one in an 8 twist so you can shoot...

    223 @ 1040

    It's an 8 twist. I only intended to shoot 75-80g bullets through it, and the occasional 53 vmax for splat factor. Since I'd be pushing the 75-80s around the 3K fps area with the 28" Bartlein, I figured an 8 twist would be more than adequate. Should've still probably went 7.5 but too late now...

    Need 308 Norma Mag sizing die

    $20 RCBS stuck case remover is all you need. I stuck a 223 case in my redding die a few months back. Got it out in 5 minutes with no harm to the die.

    223 @ 1040

    Wanted to find a spot to shoot 1K at the range just a couple miles from my house. Typically can only get out to 500. I played around with onx maps and line distance and came up with a spot that would allow 1040 or so. Time to load the 4Runner up with the gear and head down the road. I got to the...

    New 6BR chambering test

    That'll do! 6 BRs are just the easy button. I was always under the impression that a total neck clearance of up to .008" was ok. I think my 223 and 6 Creed are around .006" and my 7-300 around .004" I haven't seen any issues with either.

    Brux Barrels

    Brux makes a nice barrel. I've got one on my 6 Creed and have no complaints.
