Biggest problem you'll have is OAL restrictions in the magazine. I load for a hunting buddy who has a 300 WM speed, had to lengthen the mag out and still didn't gain too much. It's a fine shooter but his had the 26" barrel and it was awfully thin. Took awhile before we found a load that would...

I've had a pro since mid summer or so last year, might as well toss in my comments for what they're worth. I built a 6mm GT on a standard trued R700, saw it on sale and figured I'd try it out. Love the trigger shoe so much. It's one of my favorite trigger feels I've had in awhile. I agree it...

I haven't played with the 224 Accubonds before, but it has been a favorite hunting bullet for about 20 years now. I've found it best to treat them like a TSX and keep them off the lands at least 0.050" for best accuracy. I wouldn't worry as much about your max charge difference as you are using...

Start around 48gr 4064 and go up from there. I use Speer 165gr hotcors around 51 grains with my Christensen classic, produces one hole accuracy.

Hey all, I was in a gun shop recently and ran across a Glenfield Model A. Had never heard of the company until I picked up the rifle. After a bit of research, it seems like it's a Ruger American design with another name. It felt nice, was very light with the Tupperware stock, 60° bolt throw...

Bynuna Custom Shop Creation “Ratherby Model 307” Bynuna Custom Shop has taken one of America's oldest Bolts with Remington’s famous three rings of Safety and precision machined a Stiller MK13 style cam on it. Then blueprinted the new Remington clone from Weatherby, “The model 307...

After hoping for a sale on bottom metal for AICS and not finding one, I went the MDT route with their Black Friday sale. Turned out a touch heavier but it feels perfect, and makes a surprisingly small package. Currently have the 6.8 SPC barrel attached, holding off on picking up the 45 Raptor...

Turning 40 this year so I'm going to make a precision 308 win in an M40 style package. PTG is selling a blueprinted 307 hybrid action for a great price, figured I'd start there and get to parts collecting.

Taken from the product page at Midway for the 338 250gr Grand Slam bullet. "Speer Grand Slam Bullets were developed to give hunters a tough, dependable bullet that would provide better integrity and retained weight retention over similar bullets. Since first being introduced in the 1970's the...

Finally stopped fixating on finding a use for the Ruger, switching to savage after looking in the safe. I have an 18" 6.8 SPC sitting in a Magpul hunter. That sucker is over 50 oz, which is why I'm not big on carrying it but it's so fun at the range. I also have a 308 18" barrel for that set up...

I've looked into it and honestly helping a buddy pull a deer out after a 450 BM shot was what made me think about it. They are the same basically, just one was designed from the ground up for 38k psi and the raptor is designed for 62k psi. Not saying I would run it that hot, because my exact...

While hunting season is here, I have some time to slow down and think about next year's build while sitting in the woods. I have a Ruger American short action that I don't use much right now, with a standard 473 bolt face. I have field rifles set up left and right, only a M88 in 308 for a...

I was browsing the clearance section at Midway and saw a new arrival in the seconds clearance section and was wondering what you all thought. If looks like Hornady took all the ELD line of bullets and stuffed a flat point tip instead of their standard heat shield tip. I'm a bit interested...

That's my elk load and my data follows yours. I found one hole accuracy at 200 yards with frozen ammo at 59gr, had a CDS made up for it around 2850, same data as you, and verified to 500 with rapid multiple distance targets set up. One year, I didn't have a chance to resight after getting home...
