    JD338, Sorry for such a slow response been kinda busy the last couple days. Had a friend of mine ask me to do some yote hunting on his land since his cows are calving. The high load was running at 3750 fps and it shoots like a dream.

    Round Two with IMR 8208 XBR

    I had a chance today to make it to the range with my 22-250. I had 3 different loads developed for the 55 grain NBT. All loads were shot at 100 yards in 3 shot groups. Every load shot amazingly well, they measured under one inch. Load one started at 32 gr the one in the bull is a sighter...

    22-250 Load Development with IMR XBR

    Yea now I get to have fun making a new range chart and just shooting in general. I'm pretty pumped about this new powder, it's supposed to have a better tolerance to extreme temp changes and meter really well. I'm wondering if it will shoot as good with the 55 grainers. I'll keep you guys posted.

    22-250 Load Development with IMR XBR

    According to the load data 36 grains gives 3925 fps out of a 24 inch barrel. Because I can only estimate due to the lack of a chronograph I would say around 3900 fps or maybe faster out of a 26in barrel with 35.5 gr. The chrony is next on my list for equipment.

    22-250 Load Development with IMR XBR

    So i had a chance to get out the the casselton range today to try out some new loads with IMR XBR 8208 in my 22-250. It was nice out today about 18 degrees and little to no wind which is odd for this time in north dakota. I started the loads off at 33 gr and worked my way up to 36 grs. in .5...

    Winchester 264 Westerner

    I would keep it a 264 WINMAG just for that fact that i own one myself and its an awsome caliber. I have an uncle that also has a 7mm stw and he is drooling over my 264. I was looking at a gun identical to the one you got, at a pawn shop but they wanted about a grand for it. The stock was in a...

    Powder Availability

    Up here in North Dakota there seems to be no shortage in most powders that i know of. Large rifle primers are pretty scarce though with plenty of small rifle primers and pistol primers around. But i couldnt tell you when the powder and primer shortage will come around for the better for...

    Needing a New Barrel?

    The 338 win mag would be a great choice but im a little unfarmiliar with opening up the bolt face on the action. I was looking at getting a shilen barrel, did some research last night on some of the barrels. And the 280 AI would be my second choice for a caliber, ive always wanted one. Now...

    Needing a New Barrel?

    Well he basicly handed the gun down to me now that he has his Browning. So i guess i was just curious as to what i should do with the action. Such as, is it good a goo action to make a custom gun around. And this is a project of mine now. I was kinda looking at turning the gun into a all...

    Needing a New Barrel?

    So as this years deer season kicked off my dad told me to check if his rifle was still sighted in from last year.

    HEEEELP

    I have a remington SPS with that same 1 and 14 twist. And i also had some troubles with H380 and the 55 grain NBT. I gave Reloader 10x a try and seated the bullets about .020 off the lands. They shot really good, and it was toward the end of the winter last year. The down side to the powder...

    Not Bad For a Cheap Gun

    Since we are on the subject of cheap guns, what was the biggest steal you guys have ever stumbled on. Just curious i guess. I can honestly say this was my first 700 and im sure i will not stray far away from BIG GREEN. My CDL shoots good at 100, about 3/4 inch. Didn't get a chance to shoot it...

    Not Bad For a Cheap Gun

    Thanks guys. When i mean cheap it was 500 brand new out of the box. And have read reviews that only made this gun sound OK shooting if that. I did however, remove the pressure point on the stock of this rifle. That was the only modification to an other wise stock rifle. Next up is my Rem 700 264...
