Guy, where were you shopping? I might have to go take a look ...

I've always used long jumps with Accubonds. Up close they weren't bad, just not as good.

When the neck tension can't keep the bullet in place overnight, it's too much.

I shoot 180 Barnes with 7828 SSC. I can't find a combination that doesn't work well.

I exclusively use 7828ssc in all of the Weatherby calibers. I didn't see any difference when switching from "long cut".

I found I hav shot for so long I was getting sloppy at shooting from field positions. More trigger time someplace besides the bench helps tremendously. My largest problem was not properly (and consistently) securing the forearm. I was shooting much higher than I wanted to. It was just a lack...

I have started crimping heavy loads, such as 416 Remington Magnum and some others. I have have definitely seen an improvement in consistency since I did. I ran a test in the 30-06 of new and 1x cases a crimped and not. I found that crimping was far more important for new cases than 1x for...

You can shim the action out of the stock with small strips of ptfe or some other non-compressible plastic. It will look funny, but it works.

Weatherby is never a bad choice!

Nothing wrong with taking the rifle you shoot best and gives you confidence.

I don't care for the meat on mule deer that are fed on sage. Too gamey for me, so I usually hunt elsewhere.

There are many that work well. I've used RL22/MRP and IMR 4451 to great effect with 140's. I haven't tried 7828SSC, although I have lots of it for my Weatherby calibers. I'm following any experiences with it with interest.

It's just a group of people in their "Be the decoy" outfits! There are no more pronghorns left!

Even with the long freebore, I've found seating depth to make a big difference. One of my goto load uses 168 grain Barnes and 7828SSC. I wondered whether the depth would make any difference. It turns out .010" from my selected spot (after picking a charge with OCW) makes a huge difference. Here...

Very nice. Ki wish I had that kind of talent!

I've done mine and it made the thing usable. It isn't just faster, it is more accurate. If you write down the values before you change them you can put it back to factory. I have a small metal insert in the end of the dispenser I got from Europe; that helped a bunch, too.

If you are a meat hunter, though, the BT can be brutal on the shoulder meat.

What was the distance?

I always put book loads into Quickload so I can play with them as I prepare my OCW run. I'm working on a new load for 375 H&H using the 270 grain TTSX. The maximum load listed in Barnes #4 calculates to 107,000 psi! I double checked all the settings, it just doesn't handle the bullet/cartridge...

I have a stupid hangup about clean brass, so as long as I clean it the same way each time, and use the same size sequence I will have the consistency I want. I am going to figure out some way to measure the difference between the squeaky clean case and the fired case (both sized).
