I have a 260 Rem, awesome round. Rem screwed the pouch by not marketing the round. I would take the 260 up to 147 gr bullets over the Creedmoor. The real advantage of the Creedmoor is the possible development of very high long BC bullets. Say like the 150 SMK’s. But then your into custom...

Yeah and 308 win after I thought about it. 90% of the performance of a 30 06 with all the great 30 cal bullet selection. within 300 yds the deer will not know the difference. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Three choices. 270 win great all round bullet, recoil manageable, cheap and plentiful ammo. with 1*8 twist barrel you can shoot 170 gr Berger Elite Hunter. Next is the 30 06. Many of the same attributes as the 270 win SD’ss no as high as 270 and a little more recoil. But there are more...

Keep the 270 win you have everything need brass etc. Build a 270 win with a 26” 1-8 twist barrel. I have a McGowen Precision on a Rem 700 receiver. I use the Berger 170 gr EOL Elite Hunter. With Rl 26 I get just over 2,930 FPS. At sea level it has 3,200 ft lbs at muzzle and 2,200 ft lbs at...

Yes after reading depending on loads and bullet selection AR10’s can be radically over gassed. When shooting heavy bullets under higher pressures the brass was being slammed so hard against the deflector that the brass was being badly damaged. So now all my AR10’s have Odin works adjustable gas...

I’d say. Of the seven AR,s I have I purchased one complete and built the other 6. Everyone one of the rifles I have built have ALG ACT triggers. It was my first choice in my first build and it worked so well it’s in all of them crisp clean trigger release. If it ain’t broke do not fix it. If...

Yeah exactly. You might have to rest you chest on some bags. I believe your on to something here. Just like when your working out and you can no longer do it “Modify” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How about I’d you use long by pods so that the rifle sits higher you can get up on your elbows more and arch your back instead of putting so much stress on your neck Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Guy is there anyway to restore mobility. Tried a chiropractor or massage therapist? I get it I’m 65 and while I was never a competitive shooter. I played football and even though I was rather large. 6’-51/2” 260 in my younger days man I could run with the track team 800 meter men. Unfortunately...

.277 150 ABLR will stabilize in a 1-9 twist. Berger Twist stability calculator shows SG = 1.55 so adequate. a 1-10 twist only give 1.26 SG with a 7% reduction in BC. At 2950 FPS. 1-8 twist is to optimize to shoot 170 gr Berger Elite Hunter. So you can shoot 150 ABLR in a 1-10 twist just will...

A standard 270 win chamber let me load 170 Berger’s at 3.435 I don’t know if you want them any longer. . Next to my 183 gr 284 win Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a McGowen Precision 26” Remage barrel. Sendero profile. 1-8. My receiver Rem 700 came off a 270 win factory. 1*8 allows me to shoot the Berger 170gr Elite Hunter and 165 - 175 Matrix bullets. I get 2,935 FPS out do 175’s and 3,150 +/- out of the 150 ABLR’s. Shoots sub moa when I...

What an awesome looking rifle. 26” barrel I assume. I have. 338 win mag as well and love it. I like shooting heavy. With a 26” McGowen I get 2,850 out of 250 gr SMK’s and 2,450 out of 300 gr Berger Elite Hunters. What an awesome round. Enjoy Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That is what I use as well. Pretty awesome app Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Awesome. A day at the range beats a day at work any day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks awesome. Great deal btw. Been thinking of getting upper for one on my AR 15, in 243 LBC 24”. From what I’ve heard the Ruger’s shoot lights out. Good luck let us know how it goes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I finished my 284 win build 28” McGowen precision. Very similar to the 338 build except it is FDE. I have loaded up 10 shot ladders for 180 VLD’s, 183 hr SMK’s, 185 RDF’s and 197 SMK’s . I’ll fire these next time I take the 338 to the range to find the max with the short ladders. Sent from...

As a note the new Rem 700 receiver presented a problem. The extractor did not reliably extract rounds. When looking at the bolt face the extractor insert it appears as if the machined tooth to grab the rim is dam near non existent. So I ordererd a new on through Brownells.. other than that...

Finally got the 338 win mag to the range the other day. Only focused on targets to 50 yds as I had three 10 round ladders. One for 250 gr SMK, one for 285gr ELD M and one for 300 gr Nosler Custom comp. For the 250 gr SMK with 77 gr of RL26 I was able to get 2,848 FPS. For the 285 gr ELD M, I...
