April, We haven't heard from you in a loooooonnnggg time! Good to "see you again"! And of course a super trip for salmonchaser! Will be waiting for the reports

Funny. Ramshot is produced in Europe and more expensive here. Like so many things

Our laws are strict, but not that strict ;-) Converting is ok, but some of the brass is older anyway, so I will probably start with new brass anyway. But it will be some time until I start the project, so I will keep the whelen in mind and check brass

Hi ST, I just meant that one example with CFE223 from Guys video. I can get my 30-06 faster than the 308 with the right powder, on the other hand there is factory ammo out there in 308 that is faster than 30-06 from other brands. That's what meant saying that the difference is not huge. I think...

Our market is very different from yours. Reboring isn't cheaper than a new barrel. The whelen is added to the list. Forgot that one. 25-06? I like it. But I can't really use it's advantages. For a lighter bullet, I am good with the Creedmoor. 30-06? Guy just posted a video on CFE223 where the...

I'm in need of some input. I hunt in northern Germany. Our hunting seasons are quite long, in some cases from April to January with many species overlapping during that time. We hunt smal roe deer, boar, some fallow deer and red stag. So from 30-250 lbs field dressed. I started with a 30-06 in...

Don't know if you have reload Swiss over there. I think you do, but with another name. It really pushes the 308 fast!I use it for some 150 gr monos and it deliveres

Copy that. I don't have your experience, started about 15 years ago. Whenever I load for others I play chicken and send the loads out for testing. It is ok to blow myself up, but not others. And usually I do the tests, because I don't think they know pressure signs. One did. Biggest mistake in...

Doc - I am sure you know what the program can and can't. Just wanted to make sure that people don't use it to start with top-loads. As said - we can send out ammo out to test pressure and speed and I had a few surprises over the years. Both ways with brass I checked the water capacity for. It...

As much as I like Brömels program - be aware it is just a simulation. We can sent loads out here to be pressure-tested. And even with cases tested before (water capacity), length adjust and what have you, I ended up a few hundred bar off. I use it the other way now. Send out loads to be...

I use the 123 Lehigh. And I know others using the 100 gr version. Does a bit more damage, but puts game down quickly. The Creed isn't a speed monster, so the BT should work fine. If available, I would choose the Accubond over the BT on bigger game. But that's just me. Recoil is tame with the...

That's what I like about this site. Guess his attitude won't be missed

Being European, I like my Tikka. Easiest rifle ever. But my Savage works as supposed, too. For half or less the price of what you paid. If they are not able to fix it (which they should have done before selling it), they should take it back, give you your money and wish you well with the next...

Swapped scopes between two rifles and I am happy! Savage Storm 6,5 Creedmoor @100m The 2 shots are a different powder weight and I just wanted to check were they hit.

I started hunting with the 180 NP out of a 30-06. While it was great on boar, it was a little rough on our small roe deer. Had good results with the 165 Accubond after that, but as lead-free was on the horizon, I switched to the TTSX first, then to a Slovakian bullet in150 gr that I an still...

Wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of that. A 444 is something I thought about long and hard. Couldn't convenience myself yet, but one day - too many options, too little money and time

As said: no lube. Might even react with the powder if you push some into the case. Deburr the neck and you should be fine.

I use some of them in my 30-06, but only for the range. They are simple, but shoot well in my Tikka. Can't see why they shouldn't work in 6,5.

Tomorrow, a refugee- family will arrive at our home. Left everything behind, put the three kids in the car and left. Hope they will have a country to go back to one day...

Our prices in Germany are rising rapidly too. Currently around €2. That's the Liter, not the gallon... I use public transport when possible. But outside the big cities it is often not possible.
