    Speed Tests with 230 Berger's .300WM

    I was curious what quickload would say. My COAL was about 0.345" longer than saami that was used in the quickload. If I were to run the 230 as a regular load, I'd run H1000, at 2,925. But the benefits aren't there over my 215gr load. I'm sticking to the 215's but it's interesting to see what's...

    Speed Tests with 230 Berger's .300WM

    Well since I had to fireform all that crap brass from Nosler, I figured I'd try to do something productive with it. I decided to speed test a the 230 Berger with H1000, H4831, and RL26. I'm fortunate enough to have two .300 Win Mag barrels throated for 215 Berger's, so I put my old one one as to...

    Nosler .300 Win. Mag. Brass issues

    Already spoke with Mike at Nosler's customer service. He gave me deminsions and a link to SAAMI specs. They had their chance to make things right and did nothing. Absolutely awful service. I replied to his email and asked him if what he was saying was out of tolerance brass is okay by Nosler...

    Nosler .300 Win. Mag. Brass issues

    My brass was also Nosler firsts. I've got 100 Peterson cases on the way now to. I'll report on how it is when I get them.

    Nosler .300 Win. Mag. Brass issues

    Trust me, if Lapua made Win Mag brass that's what I'd buy. I've ordered some RWS brass and also am going to get some Peterson when it's available. Nosler flat ticked me off with their response. They responded with a two line email with an incomplete sentence, to boot. I lost loads of respect for...

    Nosler .300 Win. Mag. Brass issues

    Have to fireform 50 pieces of Nosler Brass because it shoots like crap virgin. it's out of spec for OAL by .004" (2.596" is what this brass measures) trim to length is 2.610" and sammi min is 2.600. The primer pocket depth is barely in by a few tenths of a thou. My primer pockets measure .1238"...

    Reloading: best powder & bullet for 1000 yd target shooting

    215 Berger's and H1000. Can't beat this combo in a .300 Win Mag in my opinion. Game from 150-1,034 yards. Wicked accurate and great velocities. 190SMK is also a great bullet for paper punching in a win mag.

    Vortex Golden Eagle Impressions

    Put the golden eagle on a buddy's 6.5x47 I've been contemplating buying from him, while I'm waiting for my .284 to get finished up. After work one day I took it and got it zeroed at 100 yards and proceeded to take it to a local 600 yard F-class shoot and was very impressed with the glass and...

    Nosler Customer Service Connection

    Looking for an email address to directly link me to Nosler Customer Service. I emailed them via their website with no response in two weeks. I have pictures I would like to send them and their website contact doesn't allow pictures. Would like to give them the opportunity to rectify the issue...

    Home made zero stop

    I figured it's cheap insurance to make sure I'm not off a revolution from my zero when I get a trophy tag in my pocket. I still cant understand why Leupold hasn't come out with one yet.

    Home made zero stop

    Machined a zero stop for my Leupold today. Fits snug on the turret and doesn't spin, has about 0.040" of tension holding it in place. Made it to allow me to dial 5MOA down from my zero. Worked out pretty slick

    .300 Win Mag as a Military Sniper cartridge

    Can't beat H1000 in a win mag, will always have Thumper chambered in it. Can't see myself changing from my 215 Berger H1000 combo either.

    Vortex Golden Eagle

    Got to pick it up today after a 4 month back order. First impressions are very good. Solid construction and glsss is excellent from the little bit I looked through it at the mountains. Clocks seem positive and not mushy. Will mount it tomorrow and hopefully make it out to the range to compare to...
