Looks like you've got a couple good loads to work with. In my opinion the 150gr load looks like it's a little more accurate. The mossberg rifles aren't as expensive as others on the market but they sure do shoot good. I bought a Patriot Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor last year and it shoots lights...

I honestly don't have the slightest. I don't have access to a chronograph so I just load for accuracy. I know that powder charge is about 1.5 grains under "book max". My barrell length is 22 inches on the Mossberg Patriot

Conducted a bullet expansion test from my 6.5 Creedmoor. This is the load I will be deer hunting with this fall. Stats are as follows: Mossberg Patriot Predator 6.5 Creedmoor Jageman Brass (Large Primer Pockets) Sierra 130gr. GameChanger H4350 41.5gr. Federal 210 Gold Medal Match Primer...

I know the odd metric calibers get no love in the world of fastest, highest ballistic coefficient, most accurate, etc, but I love the simple fact that for well over 100 years the 8x57, 7x57, 6.5x55 etc have been successfully taking down animals. They just plain work. I will report back if I...

I recently settled on a load that Im going to be using for the 2019 WV Deer Season and I settled on the Hornady 150gr. Interlock. The gun is a Sauer 100 Classic XT. The load is as follows. Lapua Brass Fed 210 Primer 48.0 grs H4895 C.O.A.L. 2.975" My testing methods aren't the best maybe but I...

I don't have quick load nor do I claim to know how to use it. So i have a question regarding the powders listed for any given cartridge in quick load. I was searching the forums for threads and info on the 8mm mauser (8x57) and I saw where someone had posted some info from the quickload info...

I love the 120gr Ballistic Tip in my 7x57. I push them as fast as I can and I haven't found one yet in a deer. I've taken 4 deer so far with that bullet. I hope they shoot good for you in your TCU.

Dr. Mike, I would concur, I recovered a 130 grain Etip from my 270 Winchester last fall that looked exactly like the one pictured.

That's a beautiful rifle and a fantastic classic chambering. I've had great results in my 7x57 with Remington, Winchester, and Norma brass, with Norma being the best. So far I've taken whitetails with the Hornady 154gr. Interlock, Sierra 140gr. Gamekings, and 120gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips...

Just to add, I purchased 100 pieces of the Jagemann 6.5 Creedmoor and I found it to be very consistent. Only 4 out of 100 needed to be trimmed to get it all to min length. I weighed 10 pieces and there was only .4 grain of variation in those 10 pieces. I chamfered all the case mouths after I...

The Accubond and the BT loads look very promising. Do you have any IMR4831 to try? My Remington 700 likes IMR 4831 a little better than the Hodgdon 4831. I would also encourage you to give RL22 a shot down the road.

I really appreciate the input and opinions of those who replied. Hopefully I won't disappoint anyone but I didn't wind up buying a scatter gun. I was messing around on the web one day and somehow stumbled upon Jp Sauer and Sohn's website. I discovered I could get a brand new factory chambered...

Having never messed around with a 6.5 before, I tested the waters this past January. I previously had really only shot paper and deer with a 270win, and a 7x57 but I just wanted another hunting rifle. I only waded about knee deep in the 6.5 waters when I bought a Mossberg Patriot Predator in...

Everyone has personal opinions. I personally like RCBS and Hornady. I personally dont like LEE reloading products as a whole. Their stuff has a cheap flimsy feel to it and it dont stack up compared to Hornady, Lyman, RCBS, Redden. Again, personal opinons are what they are. If you buy...

Have you considered taking it to your local scrap yard and selling it? I usually collect until I fill a bucket or some kind of a container and I usually sell aluminum cans at the same time. My local scrap yard is buying brass shell casings for $1.41 per pound. I also throw all my primers that...

Slim, I don't really have a hesitation, I was just trying to shop around so I could find the best price. I'll probably wind up ordering from EuroOptic.

I bought a Sauer 100 classic XT in a 8x57IS. Im looking for somewhere to order a additional magazine. Theres nothing wrong with the one supplied with the rifle but I just would like a spare. I checked Midway, Midsouth, Natchez, and Brownells to no avail. I emailed Sauer USA and they told me...

I bought some Nosler Etip Blems from shooters pro shop last summer and they had a single groove on the bullet shank.

Since you said you had used Nosler brass previously and this is your first issue using this particular brand of brass is it possible that maybe that specific lot or batch fell through the cracks in the quality control department?

Im pondering on getting an over and under shotgun and Im seeking input. I wish I could say money was not an issue, but unfortunately it is. My market is going to be $550 to $600 tops. I know you get what you pay for, and I wish I could explore the Brownings, Benellis, and the like, but thats...
