i already own a Meopta Meostar 3-10x50 that is now sitting on my Bworning X-bolt 7mm WSM, it's a great scope, that i got for an even greater price, now i know that i will not be able to get something that good for my 7mm 08, but i was thinking of maybe getting the Leupold VX-R in 3-9x50, it is a...
I just ordered a Browning X-bolt 7mm 08, now i need to put some glass on it, i will be using it for deer hunting in eastern Oregon, any suggestions would help, i really do not want to spend more than $500.00 on a new scope. Thanks
I just ordered that Browning X-Bolt 7mm 08 today, i plan on shooting 140 Nosler BT or AB for deer, i think i made the correct choice, but either way i will just have to live with it, now i just need to put some glass on it and go shoot the thing once i get some loads worked up for it. Thanks for...
ok now i have been thinking of getting a new rifle to go along with my 7mm wsm, and use it for deer hunting only, i was trying to decide between the 7mm 08 and 270 win, today at work i was talking to a guy about hunting, he happened to mention that his wifes dad who just past away left him...
they are all new winchester cases, it varies between 2.800 to 2.805, (2.800 is the recommended c.o.a.l for 150 grn TTSX according to the barnes manual) not much really but i am just curious if that will matter for loads, i am pretty sure that it wont since if you buy loaded ammo you would be...
I am using a redding t7 press and redding dies, for some reason once i have the bullet seating depth where i want it and start loading rounds, when i go back and check c.o.a.l after a few it is different for almost every round, could anyone tell me why that is, all the rings are tight and it is...
I am now thinking of using this bullet as my all around bullet for both deer and elk, would the Barnes TTSX 150 grn work as a good bullet for both deer and elk out of my 7mm WSM? or should i load two different loads like say 160 grn AB for elk and 140 grn AB for deer? Thanks
ok how about this, would it make more sense to go with a 300 wsm and use that for elk, then i could use my 7mm wsm for dear loading it with the 140 grn bullets like AB, BT, and TTSX.
I am looking at getting a new rifle for hunting deer in eastern Oregon, i already own a 7mm WSM that i will be using for elk, and just wanted something else that would be for deer size game only, i am thinking either the 270 win with 130 grn bullets, or the 7mm 08 with 140 grn bullets both in...
I am looking at getting a new rifle for hunting deer with in eastern Oregon, I already own a 7mm WSM that i use for elk hunting, so i was thinking that the 7mm 08 seems to me like it would be perfect for deer, i was thinking of loading up 140 grn bullets in either Barnes TTSX or Nosler Accubond...
I have a ?, about the data, i was wondering if anyone could tell me exactly what all the numbers mean starting from left to right. Example
+00.0 86 59.50 3076 3152 62678 11241 100.0 1.151 ! Near Maximum!
is the 2nd number of 86 the % that the cartridge is filled?
I am getting a new press and some reloading dies, i am thinking about going with the
Redding T-7 Turret press along with Redding dies, in 7mm WSM, 270 WSM, and 30-06, i am thinking that they are both the best in there respective categories, but that is just my opinion, what i would like to know...
Thanks for the advise Dr Mike, i just called them and has them set it aside for me, i was pretty sure that it was a great deal on a great scope, but i was just wanting another opinion other than that of a salesman, and Dr Mike i want to thank you for all your help with my many ? you have been...
I have heard of these scopes, and i can get one locally for 499.00 the cheapest i have seen them online is 699.00, it is a 3-10x50 with 30mm tube Z-plex reticle, i have looked through it and it is very clear with great edge to edge clarity, i have tested in low light and it seems to my eyes that...
by reading the op and it saying that the max case overall length of 3.340, i just figured that he was trying to say cartridge overall length, that is why i gave the answers i did, well anyway which ever one he was after we have them both covered. :grin:
Hi: Welcome to the forums, in the nosler reloading manual #6 it says that the max col is 3.340 and the min is 2.940, if you have not already i would make sure to buy that book, it will give you everything you need to know about reloading plus a whole bunch of loads for your 30-06. hope this helped
