I’m at a loss for words on your find. Exquisite, plain and simple. Congratulations.

I have a Remington 783 in 308 Win that I just put a 26” McGowen barrel, and PT&G bolt head on it. I was only looking to get it on paper but zero’d it and completed load work up with 3 rounds. First 3 rounds down the tube went into one hole, 1” left and 1 1/4” high. at 100 yards. I didn’t have my...

I have a Model 70 in 270 WSM with a magazine length that allows seating depths that touch the rifling. It depends completely on bullet used, and rifle. I have a Remington 308 Win that I can’t get to the rifling with factory DBM dimensions. I also have a TC Venture in 270 Win that has a DBM. Book...

You just described this one except for barrel length. It’s a X-Caliber 1:8, 26” barrel. I’ve switched to a steel magazine also. It gives a 3.7” OAL and tucks in tighter to the belly of the stock. I don’t like that the polymer magazines are longer, just my personal preference.

I’ve got the results from a few ladders I fired for my 270 WSM to shoot tomorrow. I’ll be chronoing the loads and seeing if there is a certain seating depth it likes with each. I have E-Tip loads with Staball HD, 6.5, and IMR4831 to try, and a 130gr Partition load with Staball HD to chrono and...

I still say that for a load you just threw together that’s pretty good. I think you have a shooter! I’ve got a pretty solid load with Staball 6.5 and a 130gr Partition in my 270 Win. Great looking rifle Dan.

As others have said, I’d also go with the 243 Win with whatever bullet you prefer at 95 grains or above. At that range aim for the base of the neck and never track again.

Criminals could care less. They don’t abide by the laws already in place, much less this additional regulation. All this does is infringe on the rights a law abiding citizens. Liberals don’t give a damn about rights. As long as they are able to force their will on those that disagree, it will...

With everything I was exposed to in the military I don’t think reloading is going to be what gets me. I’ll wash my hands afterwards but that’s about it.

I forgot to mention, if you can take rabbits you should be fine. They tend to disappear faster than quail because they are in the cover already.

First, I think you’ll love quail hunting. It’s exciting, they fly like little rockets, and are an exquisite meal. They can be addictive. That said, I’d use the 12. They can be hard to hit and the 12 gauge gives better chances of scoring with a lower chance of wounding birds without recovering...

I like Alliant powders, but really no more than others. That said, Alliant is making all our minds up for us to move away from them. Price aside availability is essentially gone. Luckily I have enough RL powders left to burn the throat out of the respective rifles I load them in. There are only...

This. A small round rat tail file resolves it in a few seconds.

Your friend will be well served with just about any reduced load you come up with for the ‘06. A magnum isn’t required at all. I’d recommend focusing on marksmanship that’s repeatable every time from shooter. It doesn’t come up often but I’ll admit to it. Buck fever is a very real thing...

On the 8th day God made IMR4831. Just look at my powder locker.

Sound approach. Thanks for the response.

Where did your ladders begin and end? That’s not a bad initial neiborhood to be in with 150’s. The IMR4831 looks like it’s going to be promising. Good work.

I found that as well. In my 270 Win the charge weights mirror IMR4831. Works great. Velocity and accuracy are there, but it takes a little more of it than Hodgdon says. It may work with heavy billets in the 308. I also agree that Match would probably serve you better.

I’ve bought 4 of them. 2 for Remington 783’s, and 2 for TC bolt rifles. All I had to do was touch up the barrel Chanel’s on 2 of them. I did have to extensively inlet one of thee 783’s. That was due to me adding PT&G bottom metal for AICS magazines, not any short fall of Boyd’s. They look great...
