I have the Ruger American predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. Accurate gun. Stock sucks and I have issues with the bolt jamming if to much upward pressure is placed on the bolt knob when pushing it forward. I guess if you are a looking for a bench rifle, one of those problems can be solved with a...

Thanks for all the insight. I actually brought my trusty 7 mag and my 6.5 bolt to Wyoming last year for mule deer and cow elk and wanted to try the 6.5. My hunting guide told me to put my little toy gun away and take my 7 mag once he saw I could shoot the more powerful gun from a bipod just...

That's good info. I'm guessing with the 20 inch on the 308, roughly 150 fps slower than ammo box published fps is probably what I'd be looking at. My bolt 6.5 with a 22 inch chronos about 60 to 70 fps less than what most factory boxes list. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Did you shoot any through the Chrono with the 20 inch barrel? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Thanks. The Henry long ranger is a box mag feed not a tube feed so hopefully there won't be any feed issues. I have not had any in my bolt action 6.5 Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I have always loved my lever guns, and have fallen in love with the new Henry Long Ranger. I can't decide should I get the .308 with a 20 inch barrel, or the 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22 inch barrel? I realize this is a nosler forum but I will be reloading nosler accubonds for this gun. My main...

It was apparent from the large damage going in and smaller exit hole, that the bullets expanded rapidly, shed some energy, then kept on going. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the advice. Just returned from Wyoming. I went with the 140 Accubond out of the 7 mag. Moving at about 3,175 fps, 66.6 gr reloader 22. I shot my first mule deer buck ever at 125 yds, he went maybe 25 yds. Last night we got into a heard of 200 elk. I filled my cow tag at 175...

Sorry so you only use the lab radar or the cheaper magnetospeed sporter? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

A buddy of mine has a Lab Radar, I love that thing...just makes the optical chronos obsolete. Nice friend to have. I don't shoot enough to justify that cost but was thinking of the magnetospeed Sporter just not sure if it would work with my muzzle brake. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

What Chrono are you using? I'm starting to suspect our old pro Chrono is giving me some slow speeds and is due for an upgrade Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

143 eldx(6.5 Creedmoor), 130 Accubond (270), 150 partition (270). They all look like Dead deer to me. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Nice shooting. Any idea what you got for fps? How long is your barrel? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I think so too. 6.5 is no 300 win mag. The 6.5 143 eldx poked holes kleen through the 1/4 inch think steel plate at 100 yards. That steel is much harder than a leg or shoulder. I was more disappointed that the Accubond didn't hold together any better than the eldx in the dirt bucket test...

I tried superformance too. Little better speed but groups also opened up near Max charge. The best groups for imr 4350 and superformance where both at 2550 fps so that is the magic tuning fork number for this gun and bullet. Superformance was about 1/2 group at 2550. I have the bdc reticle...
