    Browning BLR- .308 or .358 Win

    Don't known why I am drawn to the BLR, but can never stop thinking I need one. There was a take down 358 BLR for sale locally a few years ago, I looked at the ad several times, but just never followed through. What a wrong decision that was. There is another pistol gripped take down 308...

    Reloading and pressures

    I had my gunsmith spin a 6.5 CM barrel onto a Sako long action and re chamber to a 6.5-284 Norma set to accept OAL up to 3.228 inches. Most of the loading data has tested OAL at 2.98 inches. I have been seating to 3.15 for AB 140grs and 3.17 for Barnes 127 LRX. I am finding that my...

    Any plans for a new rifle in 2025?

    I had a Sako model 85 in 270 Win in the back of the safe Buddy had a Tikka barrel, stainless, fluted in 6.5 CM . Took them to my local gunsmith and had the 6.5 CM re-chambered to a 6.5-284 Norma with a long throat and cut and thread to 20 inches. The tikka barrel threads are the same a...

    Heavier 6mm hunting bullet - Nosler listening?

    Word from my Nosler contact is 2025 will be a good year for heavy for caliber 6mm bullets. My 6mm CM really shoots the 107 Sierra BTHP with H-4381SC. Not the fastest load, but little groups.

    Heavier 6mm hunting bullet - Nosler listening?

    One of the Nosler marketing guys shoots at the rifle club I belong to. Bought a rifle from him in the past. Chatted with him a few weeks ago at the range. Sounds like I need to put a bug in his ear !!!!

    Heavier 6mm hunting bullet - Nosler listening?

    With the 6mm Creedmoor seeing more and more popularity, time for Nosler to up their hunting bullet options. 100 gr Partition - probably the best choice currently How about a 105 to 108 gr ballistic tip? I don't mind some fragmentation. Eric

    54 cal PRB vs 50 cal PA conical

    The peep sight really helps me. This was a 6 inch sticker dot at 100 yds with 3 shots. Then I knocked over 4 steel rams at 110 yds and feeling good. Season opening Saturday. Snowing in the cascades so getting excited.

    A-Square vs AI

    I understand the AI cartridges. Have a couple 280AI. But what does A-Square signify? Nosler data manual list 338-06 A-Square. Thanks for educating me

    LeverEvolution Works well for me too. Varget was consistent, just slower Nosler needs a 105 BT !!

    6mm ARC

    Been playing around with a 6 ARC for the past couple months. Started with a Ruger American with a 16 inch barrel and now have moved to a Howa Mini action with a 22 inch barrel. Mostly shot ELD-X's with a few 90 gr AB here and there. The short barrel Ruger was getting 2650 fps with the 103's...

    54 cal PRB vs 50 cal PA conical

    I just installed a Lyman peep sight on my Great Plains rifle. Roughly sighted in using the iron sites. Will head to the range tomorrow to fine tune. 90grs Triple 7 FFFg with a PRB gives 1815 fps. And a small SD. Elk Season starts the week of Thanksgiving !!!!
