I started this fall with a slight desire to hunt, and it grew like wildfire after the first of October. As the weather cooled down, things heated up in the woods, along with my desire. I gave up bowhunting a few years ago and have recently gotten back into it but with a crossbow. Its lit a...
I bought 100 of the 7mm .284" Nosler E-tips in 140gr from Shooters Pro Shop a while back. I developed a good load in my 280AckImp but I'm going to go a different direction. I have 81 left.
I'm looking for any of the following:
8mm, 7mm, 6.5mm bullets or I would trade for a F/L set of 308win...
The Hornady 8x57 dies were used for roughly 8 months and there is no rust on them. I can fit these in a small flat rate box.

Hawk, I went with the Leupold rear windage adjustable bases with the turn in front ring. If I had it to do over again I'd have probably went with Warne Weaver style bases / rings only due to the fact I like those better. I have had zero issues with the leupolds but I like the looks of the...
I have the Sauer 100 Ceratech. Prepare yourself for a great shooting well made rifle that has one of the smoothest bolts I've personally used/ seen. My Sauer is a 8x57IS and it's a joy to carry in the field. My rifle is the ceratech version and it's held up really well for a few hunting...
Honestly I get cracked up when people say the Creedmoor is a fad cartridge or it'll make you grow a man bun. Every major manufacturer chambers a rifle for it. It's not going anywhere anytime soon. enjoy the shoot ability of this cartridge, very modest recoil, the inherent accuracy , and the...
I too have a fascination with the European metric cartridges. I have this 8x57 and I have a 7x57 in a Winchester Featherweight that was given to me by my father. One of these days I might add a 9.3x62 so who knows.
I cant speak for the Sauer 101, but the 100 series is top notch and its the bottom rung in their series of rifles. Im sure the 101 would be a fantastic rifle. This 100 is super accurate with most bullets/powders and the bolt is butter smooth compared to other rifles in its price category. Its...
Honestly I don't remember. I know this particular rifle doesn't shoot the same POI on a clean bore. Truth be told it was probably me. I rarely put all 4 of them together.
Ive been loading for the 8x57 for a few years and Ive been able to test several bullets, but this year, I decided to try a new one. I was able to find a load pretty quickly with the 175gr Sierra ProHunter and CFE 223. Im shooting this load in a Sauer 100 with a 22inch barrell.
175gr Sierra...
Ive had a 6.5 Creedmoor for a few years, and I developed several good loads for it, but my son got into deer hunting, and the rifle fit him really well, so I donated it to him. I bought myself a Bergara B-14 "Wilderness" Ridge back in June. Ive been working up a few different loads, trying to...
A few years ago, my brother in law used some GMX bullets from his 270 win and killed some WV deer with authority. I was impressed enough to load some 55gr GMX and take a fat doe with my .223. I wanted to continue to try these bullets so Ive been working up some loads in my 6.5 Creedmoor. This...
I just recently picked up 200 of the 142gr 6.5 ABLR from Shooters Pro Shop a few weeks ago. I've yet to try them so I can't comment on them. I'm hoping they shoot as well as the 143gr ELD-X does. I'll be loading them in a 6.5 creedmoor.
Those of you who have done load development, does the...
Anyone wet tumbling? I currently use southern shine media with dawn dish soap, and a dash of lemishine. I've read about others using car wash/wax but don't know what brand is best.
I've been wondering, could you use purple power or simple green since they're both degreasers?
What works...
