    Would Like an Inexpensive Spotting Scope

    Thanks 35 Whelen; I was not looking for a whole lot. I have other items in life that I want to spend my money on I just wanted to be able to see bullet holes decently clear at 200 yard range. I had problems with that last year and it cost me time walking back and forth after just 1-3 shots. My...

    Would Like an Inexpensive Spotting Scope

    Thanks JD338 I purchased one and will now test it and let everyone know if it is even possible to get such an inexpensive scope that is decent enough for range work.

    Would Like an Inexpensive Spotting Scope

    Okay I lied a little but don't slam me. If this is possible and if you have first hand experience... I would like a pretty cheap spotting scope. ...and drum roll.... for about $90.00 (I originally had this at $60.00 but even I started flaming myself) .. before you shoot me, I only want it...

    "I work from mag length and move back from there if needed" A good thought. Super Thanks Scotty!

    7MM-08 C.O.L.

    ahhh, now I see what some have spoken about with Weatherby rifles and the long jump. I did not see this with my first Weatherby Vangaurd Series 1 338 Win Mag as I can load to the lands or away from lands at will. Also all other rifles I have reloaded for gave me the option of on the lands if I...

    7MM-08 C.O.L.

    I am a little surprised. I have a brand new Weatherby Vangaurd Series 2 7mm-08 that I was getting ready to reload but found something pretty surprising. Reloading for Nosler 120 gr BTs, Nosler states the Max SAAMI C.O.L. is 2.800. Interestingly, that is the max size this rifle's magazine will...

    Here is my baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Fotis! What a rifle! Not only moster power but gorgeous beauty. Seeing that rifle brought me back to the 70's when every once in a while, one would see one of those incredible Weatherby Mark V rifles all super fancy stock, action and barrel. Everyone would just say Wow! I see that baby shoots...

    Match Grade Primers

    Last summer, I tested the Federal Match 215m primers in 338 win mag, 300 win mag and 7mm mag. (1 custom rifle and 2 OTC rifles) Not a single group of reloads with different powders and seating depths showed any type of improvement or chrono consistency (amongst their respective groups and...

    Good electonic powder scales

    I have the RCBS green giant as well and I love it but it was expensive. $329.00 but RCBS is giving me a $50.00 rebate. There are some "characteristics" one has to learn on this scale, but I like it alot. Scotty found the SmartReloader and gave a nice product review! (thanks Scotty) I believe...

    Scotty has me sold on the BTE. I am ordering a 16 oz today from sinclair international, unless someone knows a cheaper place. They do not sel it locally where I am at unfortunately. This all makes sense now. The heavens just opened up. Thanks all 338winmag

    Nosler 200+ grainers VS Berger

    "IMO, I don't think that a LR bullet needs to be bonded. Most of the time bullet impact is going to be far enough from the muzzle that a non bonded bullet will work bettet." The only problem with that is what does happen. You have the best of long distance equipment; you've practiced long...

    Bore Cleaning - bring patch back thru barrel

    I noticed that a few bore cleaner instructions mention to only push the patch from chamber to end of muzzle but NOT --> to pull the patch back through to the chamber? It does not mention the same when using a brush? I have always pushed and puled back with a patch. Can someone explain why not...

    Are There Significant Advantages to Using Drop Tubes

    Hi Team, I understand that one can get more "max" in using a tube and when doing so the powder might not be as compressed but for those of us that don't always use 103+% capacity are there significant advantages to using drop tubes? Thanks 338winmag

    Scale ?

    I did a lot of research and purchased the RCBS Chargemaster Dispenser and scale and I love it. The RCBS unit is very nice and very accurate with no issues. It is also very expensive (sigh) I initially was double measuring with both the new unit and my RCBS 5-0-5 scale. After a few days it was...

    Things that make you say Hmmmm

    Hey bullet, I might have missed this before... What are you using for powder and primer for your 7mm-08 loads. I put out another post asking if anyone is familiar with the new Alliant Power Pro 2000 MR. I called Alliant but their people who can answer the question are out till Jan 5th or...

    7mm-08 and Power Pro 2000-MR (Medium Rifle)

    Some might think this is a boring time of the year but think again! Big game hunting season is ONLY 10+ months away and those months fly by fast for those us who didn't even get a shot this year. :cry: (I won't mention any names) Waiting on a brand new Weatherby Vanguard S2 7mm-08 order to...

    Guess what bullet? I enjoyed that article when you made mention of it before... :) :) :) ..and quite frankly, I can read alot more so keep writing and also posting your questions and comments. I am a sponge for many many years to come. I am not sure why anyone would ever think that just...

    Things that make you say Hmmmm

    Wow. Intersting results on this. I humbly continue to learn everyday. I am sticking with the 225 NABs for my 338wm. After finally finding the perfect component and reload combination, these bullets are so accurate at 200 yards I am not going to even waste a dollar trying to find something...
