Ok you guys are to nice. That one pic was taken before any reloading was ever done in that little space. Granted if I didn't keep up on organization a little bit it was impossible to get anything done.
I'm having a problem trying to find a place for the maple cherry and mahogany tool box I...
I havnt been on in quit a while. Been darn busy at work plus I've did a little expanding of my reloading room. Still have some work to finish but I'm getting close.
I went from a little 4 1/2' x 6' to 11'x 8 1/2. The little room was just fine but now that I've gotten so much more equipment and...
So I'm gonna start loading some 5.56 for an AR that is not here yet. Just getting going while I wait. Ordered some bulk 55 gr fmjbt. Some first breech and some hornady. Just want to make sure that the .2235 and .223 diameters are ok. Everything I can find on the correct diameter is .224. Yes...
Yea I have that app but it doesn't give me this specific bullet. I'm not comfortable enough with my limited knowledge and experience to just try something close. I'll keep researching and looking and asking until I find some data I feel comfortable with.
Thanks for taking the time to help me...
I grabbed what I could find. Just starting with the 6.5 prc. I have Berger eol eh 156gr.
I have imr 4350
Ramshot hunter
Viv. N560
I have BR-2
CCI 200
Win lMRP
I also have some Nosler 140 ballistic tips but I have load data for...
I will jump all over your advise right now just because I really like (that much better). My 7mm08 does not have a suppressor on it. Does the one on the 6.5 make a big difference?
I was already ahead on that game. I had ordered a short action mag and a long action mag and a bolt stop for my other tikka from Mt. Tactical. The short action mag gave me plenty of room to grow in the 7mm08. So I have a long action mag and stop already. Lucky me 🤔
Got an update. Went with what I know. Tikka t3x lite veil alpine in 6.5 prc. Well the tikka part I know the 6.5 prc is new and unknown to me. Projectile is a bit smaller in diameter but the place to stuff the powder is rather large compared to my 7mm-08's. Havnt had a chance to send anything...
Might have to hit ya up for some off your recipes. Been browsing the tikka site and I sure do love my tikka. If I go the 6.5 prc road it will be a bit to get all my dies and such accumulated. I guess there is always factory ammo until then. After loading my own factory just doesn't seem like...
Your absolutely right about the wieght of the tikka if I still had that hunk of garbage they called a stock. Ok wasn't as bad as the ruger american predator but not the best. I have a boyds thumb hole stock on my Tikka now. Shoots great just a bit heavy.
I have a browning BLR 81 in 7mm08...
Expanding versatility... thought about that a lot. Which direction do I go? Bigger? smaller? My solution kinda would be smaller like 6.5 prc. Flat fast accurate. I like that combo. Just did a quick list of what I'd need to get started on a new caliber. About $700 and I didn't even check if they...
I had the Bergara in my hand today. Not much access to the other in my area without a few hour drive time.
Another question I have is with the none Removable mag. Is there any room to grow the seating depth of your bullets? My Tikka stock mags are pretty much tight at 2.80. I have some mountain...
