Part II: BRING BACK THE DRAFT!

There is no universal rule of thumb for all barrels. They each have their own DNA. The shooter has to experiment with each one for its specific application. For F-Class barrels, I cleaned to base metal after each match. The morning of the match, I went to the range early and put foulers down...

Thanks. But that was embarrassing. Looks like I read it before. It’s no fun getting old.

I tried find the posting that defined what the 300 Kong is, to no avail. I assume that the 30-378 is the parent case. What is the 330 Kong?

Have you tried the standard ACCUBOND? Noslers LR ogive may not be happy in many chamber throats. They are like secant ogive VLD’s vs tangent ogive bullets. That is why Berger developed the hybrid ogive, to be more forgiving to seating depth. I,ve seen poor precision with the 190 gr 30 cal ABLR...

I can’t tell you how many Solid Base Bottail Noslers that I consumed on paper and game before the entrance of that Ballistic Tip. Frankly, on Whitetails, I had better results with the exposed lead tips.

The club that I shot at was Eastern Nebraska Gun Club, or ENGC. They have a 600 yard range with pits. The club has moved to E-Targets. I shot before the that move and enjoyed working the pits. Matches go faster with the Shotmarkers, however, half the fun is jaw jacking in the pits. I moved from...

Was this for F-Class? I’m assuming F-Open because of your 284 pseudo name. The rules required 120 shots for classification. This could be accomplished in a 2-day match. The club/league that I shot in only submitted the records at the end of the season, vs each match. A typical 600 yard match for...

Cutting 2” off the barrel is not going to result in much more than a few ozs of weight savings. If you like everything else about the rifle, rebarrel it to a different contour. A 24” barrel would be the minimum for me with that 30 caliber case capacity. If rifle OAL is a consideration, I would...

Either a 280AI with 150 BT’s or a 7-08 with 140 AB’s. Both are H-S Precision 2000’ S. I’ve been a 7mm fan all my life with rifles in 7BR, 7mm REM Mag, 7x57, and 280 REM passing through my cabinet over the years. The 7-08 in a Sako AII became my most used for deer but the 280 REM was a close...

What’s an APR?

IMHO you’re hoping that your most precise accuracy node is at your maximum pressure point. This may ore may not happen with your rifle system. There are times when we have to decide what our objective is, either precision or velocity. That’s your choice. In reality, that extra FPS may not be...

I believe the old textbook O’Connor load was 59-60 grs of H4831 behind a 130 gr bullet. I had a pre-64 Model 70 Standard rifle [4 screw] that did very well with that load.

Are you calling X`s bullyseyes?

Maybe it is platform based. I am using an IPAD. I’ll try a windows notebook but I have the same problem on an Android tablet.

Why can’t I see the pictures in this and many other threads on this website?

Just get some of the existing products in the supply chain. It took me months to find a box of 7mm 140 Accubonds for my 7-08.

Bedding the action and barrel in two steps was probably the cause. Should have been done together.

Ya gotta love craftsmanship!

Ammo manufacturers aren't selling brass. They are selling loaded ammo. Look at Lapua, Peterson, Alpha, and Norma for better brass. Rumor has it that Nosler is Norma brass.
