good looking cubbies , JD . I had a few cubbies out for bobcats too . I didn't catch during the season . I had caught , and released two before the season came in . they are all business . I had a couple guys with me on the first release . that cat took a swipe at us before he went on his...

if anyone on here is trapping , I'd like to talk over a few things . this is my first year back at it , since high school I think my season started out pretty good , and then just hit a wall around mid December . I'm not sure if I had too many traps out , and the animals got wise to me, or...

I do think these ABLR's are a finicky bullet . my advice is , if things in your combo look like they should work , but it doesn't , move on . I sure wouldn't beat myself up trying , there are other bullets out there that shoot well and more easily to get shooting well .

I like to work around 105% case fill , at max PSI . here is a powder list that might help you decide on where to go next , it looks like RL17 was tops for velocity in this combo . Cartridge : .308 Win. (SAAMI) Bullet : .308, 178, Hornady ELD-X 3074 Useable Case Capaci...

it is on the slow side . a max pressure load will be at 112% case fill . that's more than I care to work with . Cartridge : .308 Win. (SAAMI) Bullet : .308, 178, Hornady ELD-X 3074 Useable Case Capaci: 44.753 grain H2O = 2.906 cm³ Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.800 inch = 71.12...

I have one rifle with a Shilen barrel , it's the 260 Rem I bought for my grandson . I've been nothing but impressed with it . it is probably the most consistent shooting rifle I've worked with . it shoots every bullet I've tried . usually load development starts out at under an inch and...

https://forum.nosler.com/threads/neck-turning.33605/ that's a link to a thread I posted on neck turning a while ago . since I made that thread I've bought a nicer neck turning tool . I'm now using the 21 century tool , not the lathe set up . it's a lot easier to adjust than the Forester . the...

I have a good feeling on the ABLR bullets since this past season . I was a little undecided on what to expect on a close range , high speed impact shot . I high shoulder shot a whitetail in Kansas at about 30 - 40 yards . the buck had a nice body size . it was the heaviest , at the butcher...

I agree , the Nosler recommend twist is too slow for good results on the ABLR's . Brian the guy from Berger bullets tested these when they first came out . the Nosler BC rating was much lower than advertised , but when he ran them through a fast twist barrel the BC was pretty darned close ...

I have not used any recently produced Norma brass . I've been using some older 7mm-08 Norma brass , it has been fantastic . I've read the older Norma brass was soft and primer pockets expanded to easily . the stuff I'm using is tough , and I would buy it again .

I use my local true value store for handling the FFL paper work , on my shipped in purchases . my local gun shops add a premium to the paper work fee , for not buying the rifle through them .

I didn't see big game powder on that list , here it is separately . looks to be a good choice Cartridge : 7 mm-08 Rem. Bullet : .284, 120, Nosler BalTip 28120 Useable Case Capaci: 49.384 grain H2O = 3.206 cm³ Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.800 inch = 71.12 mm Barrel Length ...

I've seen this brass for sale , but I've never tried it , I have very good results with Lapua brand brass in my 338 Lapua .if it's available , I don't have a reason to try anything else .

have your gunsmith tell you the chamber neck diameter . this way you will know the correct size , and can plan your case prep accordingly .

I quickly read this article . it seems to go along with my understanding on this . he is probably explaining it better then I can ...

.005" per side neck clearance is way more than enough . the looser this is the more it works the case neck , and allows carbon to build on the outside case neck more easily . you only "need" enough clearance for the neck to expand and release the bullet . but you should allow enough...

hope you get feeling better soon . I also hope you enjoy Alaska , I'd sure like to experience it . I got something a couple days after Christmas . chest hurts from coughing , not much of an appetite , play out very easy , sweats and chills , can take a nap anytime . had achy muscles for...
