I just got into the HMR myself. I picked up a Ruger American Rimfire with the threaded barrel this Spring. I put a Leupold Ultralight 3-9x33 on it. Unfortunately accuracy was sub par and cases were sticking. I called Ruger and they said to send it in on their dime. They ended up sending me a new...

None of my other suppressed rifles exhibit this sticking though. I've talked to AAC and Remington and both are scratching their heads. They can't look at it because Remington can't handle the suppressor, and AAC can't handle the rifle. I tried my SWR Specwar too and they stuck with that can as...

If you're going to spend $300, take a look at one of the powder dispensers. The RCBS is quite popular, I have the PACT version and I'm quite happy with it. My 6.5 Creedmoor is sub .25 MOA out to 600 yards using it.

Send it in to RCBS, they'll replace the ram on it for free.

I'm pretty happy with the RCBS Summit with the Hornady bushings.

Mine will stick on a clean chamber. I tried some factory Hornady 200 grain ELD X and it stuck on those too.

Montana. I polished up the chamber yesterday and took it out today and they stuck pretty hard again. On a whim I tried shooting without the can and they didn't stick at all.

Its a target backer board. We have a pretty nice range for $15 a year. I have run it across the chronograph with other loads, velocity is right where it should be. I'm starting to think I have a rough chamber now. The Winchester brass loads stuck pretty tight. They have more capacity than...

I still had sticky bolt lift with the lower charges, accuracy wasn't there either. It was quite windy so that didn't help. I picked up some Winchester brass and I'm going to play with that and see if my problem continues.

This brass is quite a bit thicker than most it seems and causing the sticky bolt lift with start charges. I only have 800 pieces to use up.

I picked up a jug of RL23 recently and loaded up some 168 Custom Competitions with it today. Data is basically non existent, I extrapolated from Alliant's online guide for the Speer bullet. 75 grains came right up to the bottom of the neck and seating at 3.34" produced a slight crush. The group...

If you're getting higher velocity than a pressure tested load then that is the pressure sign. If you're using Hornady brass it already has a short life, I haven't gotten to my Nosler brass yet and don't know if it has better life or not.

You may not be seeing pressure signs, velocity is your pressure indicator. I had good accuracy with RL17 but not as good as Ramshot Hunter.

I agree. The ballistic tip is plenty of bullet for anything you would want to use the 7/08 for. They are much tougher bullets than a lot of gun rag writers give them credit for.

100 meters.

That is too fast of a powder for that cartridge and bullet weight. It might be okay with the 100 grain bullets. I'm shooting sub 1/4" groups with Ramshot Hunter and the 140 grain custom competition in the same rifle.

I used to shoot 30-35k pistol rounds per summer which is about 2 kegs of Titegroup. I'm shooting mostly shotgun now which burns much more powder and I'm still at 2 kegs of powder. I get about 3k 12 gauge from a keg.

They are fitted to each gun so in order to sell it you'll need the total length of the cylinder. Also it should have three numbers scribed onto the end, that is the last three numbers of the original gun's serial number. If it is the .22 WMR cylinder that is worth more than the .22LR cylinder...

The bullet is the cheapest part of the whole hunting trip so why not use the best? If anything, confidence is a major factor in making a shot.

I'm curious why you are taking such big jumps in powder? Also, I mocked up that OAL and its longer than the 100 ETip and a case combined. If you're interested in saving powder why aren't you doing a ladder test?
