There are a few frangible 224 diameter bullets around now and I'm asking for experienced opinions of which of them others have found most accurate and which seem to be the most volatile. Rifle is a bolt action therefore any special considerations the AR type rifles may or may not require are...

Worthy of my rare signing in. I tip my hat to you, FOTIS. Not only for the excellent shooting and excellent load work but also for being able to hang onto that beast and not flinch 8 times before the firing pin fell.......Like I WOULD HAVE DONE. LOL Worthy of framing and hanging on the wall...

Nice looking rifle. I keep shying away from the ARs. I'm afraid I'll like it as much as a couple friends and my bolt guns will just sit, LOL. I have a lady and 3 daughters (all grown, wonder about THAT story some days) that live 1/2 mile down the road, and they are vegans. They walk their...

So far, with the crappy weather, I've only shot 90gr Speer TNT and Nosler 100gr Comp bullets in a couple load variations. As has been the case for me in the past with the 527, under 1 inch groups aren't any kind of a struggle. While I like looking at bullets and trying various ones that trip my...

I've avoided them simply because I'm afraid I'll like them. :| Preacher friend has a few and is always bugging me to try one at is home range. I'm weakening since Ive shot the Grendel in a bolt gun some.........(this is not good, lol) God Bless Steve

I bet the Grendel is fun as all get out in a semi-auto. I'd go bankrupt buying loading supplies if I started doing that! "Another gun safe".......has benefits I hear. (y) Comparing velocities I see posted in the 6.5 forum, the bolt gun pressures with the (almost) 24 inch barrel pumps...

I've mentioned before that shooting distances here in N. IN run more <200 yards than over and I've gotten to the old man stage of getting greater enjoyment shooting low recoil, low muzzle blast rounds so I did a little background work on some of the short-mid range cartridges and the rifles they...

Looking to swap bullets with anyone having the discontinued bullets I'm interested in. I'll also buy outright if price is acceptable. I have these in 6mm to trade: 100 Speer 105 grain hotcor, in box 40 of the Nosler 95gr ballistic tip, in box. 80 Berger 95gr VLD hunting, in box. A few...

First and foremost is for President Trump to be elected to a second term in November (y) which has a much better chance of happening than my second "want". Some 110-115 grain .264" Partitions OR Accubonds....for my bolt action 6.5 Grendel. God Bless and Happy New Year to all. Steve

I keep hinting around my grown sons about re-bluing this and then I'd wager it would appear new, if not better. They aren't taking the hint for an Xmas present though. Drat. God Bless Steve

I can't say for sure, but I'd wager a good sum if a betting man, that it is part of a collection that fell victim to a fire ( and water). It was listed with several other firearms, all more collectible than this one, all in the same condition, or much worse. Some had burnt sections on the...

LOL. Not if you had a short, arthritic neck and could loose about 80 lbs. :oops: Even a quarter of an inch further forward and it would be quite painful for me to use it. I've had to put scopes ALL the way back all my life unless they had a 4 inch or more eye relief but I'll admit those...

I picked up a Remington Model Seven in 6mm Remington that is in need of a little TLC and a facelift. Noticing the round bolt end and the single rear screw for a base I knew this was one of the early ones and the lower serial number indicated it was VERY early so I looked up the barrel code and...

Not being able to do much walking after surgery for our upcoming deer season plus the fact that it's going to take time to get much strength in my low back (needed for most hunting shots) I picked up a Caldwell Fieldpod and thought I'd give a short review. I'll probably add more as I use it...

The 6BR is such a neat little round. For the close to mid range shots here in IN I think it or the 6x47 Lapua (6.5x47L necked down) would be SWEET. As of late some have been going to a .257 version too. I have no hard data, but the 1-12 would be a bit slower than Id want for a 6BR if...

Lots of good information. I thought I'd add a blog I found very interesting on the subject. I'm of the contention that a large number of us don't shoot one rifle enough to truly damage a barrel, but that's just me and my experiences. This article is on throat erosion but, keep in mind the...

I don't know what it is but when I buy a rifle or shotgun from an individual, I always ask about what history they can give me on it. Knowing the history of uses gives them more character or something, not sure, but I do know that the information stays with me for years go come and often comes...

Hopefully. Back surgery the 25th of this month. Should be recooped enough to go out. I'll just have to find help dragging. Doc's already told me NO on dragging, or lifting more than 10 lbs for AT LEAST 3-4 months. :( Ha! I might have to get a gun bearer! :lol: It should whack a...

Thanks. I was wondering if they interchanged or were somehow sized to only fit one manufacturer's die. Goo to know! God Bless Steve

I've been very tickled with this rifle from day one and thought I got a great deal, especially since it's about 98 percent condition and thought it would be nice, someday, to add a standard BDL in 6mm to also use so I've been just informally watching the auction. Another one just like this...
