My case prep involves Redding FL bushing dies and annealing at each firing, regardless of cartridge. Headspace off the shoulder with those belted cartridges. I believe consistency makes the best ammo, so I don’t vary my resizing techniques from one firing to the other. This wins more long range...
Pen raised...let them do it. It ain’t for me and I don’t have that kind of disposable $$$ for that anyway. At least thats not where I choose to spend what I do have. But really who cares? The city slicker wants to kill a bigun’ with no effort in a single hunt and it keeps his non-hunting...
I’m sorry, but it takes a lot of imagination and assumption to find any sweet spot in this series. These are all over the place. I’m sure you know all this but I’ll state some hints just in case you don’t. This is why 5 shots for each condition comes in handy. I would recommend you double...
Like I said before, they tend to. But if they aren’t too compressed you prolly won’t have any trouble. A tiny crunch at the end of seating prolly isn’t the end of the world. You could prolly avoid any crunch by vibrating the case before you seat. The real question is...can you get the same...
I try to avoid it. They work themselves back out over time. Sometimes quickly sometimes slowly. There are better, easier options.

If long range paper is your goal, you really don’t know much of anything yet. Pick your favorite groups and move out to your anticipated distance and work at that range with that load.
I have 3 6BR/6BRX 600 yard benchrest barrels and none have never been shot at anything less than 600. Thats...
Luxury problems. Lol. I’d repeat 1-7 and go from there. Theres just not much difference yet...
You narrowed it down. Load’em back up and move to 200 with chrono if you like.

I bought my first bass boat before I knew how to catch a bass on a big reservoir. So I got myself an older, experienced fishing partner with a reputation for catching good fish. I didn’t really know him at that time but we hit it off immediately. He was my partner, my coach, and soon he was a...
I agree start with a more forgiving bullet like a Sierra GameKing or ProHunter in that weight range. If they don’t shoot, nothing will. Just my opinion but Partition isn’t a good “comparison standard” because accuracy and forgiveness on paper is rarely one of its strong points, although prolly...
And with a .260 you’ll be limited to about 140gr and pretty mediocre velocity, but higher bc. Sort of self defeating. No free lunch.

7mm has a higher sectional density which = better penetration at equal bullet construction, weight, and velocity. 7mm bullets also have higher bc for any given weight and shape. The only limitation for the 7mm08 is a max of about 175gr bullets that are practical for use, and that’s plenty for...
