I grew up around a couple of my dads hunting buddies that were 270 guys. I've never owned one and dad was a 30 cal guy. I have never been a fan but if Im really honest with myself the mundane 270 will work for anything im likely to hunt in the near future. with a 90 gr HP load for varmints as...
so what we have here is a 30 Nosler copy cat. Rebated rim vs rimless and a .532 body vs .550 and a 30* shoulder vs a 35* shoulder. Obviously the 30N will have a bit more capacity but the 300 PRC is specifically designed for the long bullets with a max COAL of 3.700 vs 3.34 for the 30N. thoughts...
The new changes are said to have taken over 1/2 a pound out of them. I inquired about upgrading mine with the new stock and floorplate but the cost was $750(huh?, whole rifle is $1400!!) mine weighs about 8 3/4 lbs with a full magazine scoped and slung for a hunt.
The X2 has stainless steel bottom metal. The X3 uses newer lighter material in the stock and aluminum bottom metal to reduce overall weight. I have an X2 myself in 26 Nosler. I completely disagree with gbflyer. It IS NOT a $1300 Ruger. The MRC 1999 action is a M70 Clone with pre 64 type trigger...
Cleanly taking game animals with a bow is predicated on one thing, Exsanguination. The broadhead cutting arteries and internal organs(specifically heart lungs and liver) and a hole, hopefully on both sides, for that blood to exit the body as quickly as possible. Shot angle and placement is key...
There was ALWAYS a 30 caliber in the house. a straight grip Marlin 30-30 and a 30-06 #1 in my earliest memories then at one point 3 308s all bolt actions. My dad liked rifles but liked to trade them off even more so many came and went. He had a M700 LSS Mountain rifle in 260 and a Century Arms...
my ideal weight is 7.5 all in (rifle scope sling and a full magazine). This USUALY requires short action, a 22-24" barrel, fiberglass/carbon fiber stock, ADL type or aluminum bottom metal, and a one poundish scope. My current rig is LA, a heavyish scope in a magnum caliber with 26 in barrel and...
I grew up just 90 miles from sedalia. We would go up on a Saturday and buy factory seconds by the pound. Then dad would give me an Emory board and a nail clipper to clean them up. Most just had excess lead tip protruding or jacket burrs. They have ALWAYS been a great bullet, and very accurate in...
The Woodleigh has a BC of .509 and SD of .331 and is 1.38" long. I have read that it can be driven up near 3150-3200 in the NOS or the Bee and super slow powders. My rifle is a 1:8.5" twist so I have to be mindful of bullet length. With those figures im good for stability. It seems to be the...
Fotis, I am really interested in trying the heavy for caliber bullets in my 26 Nos. Have you worked with any of them in the 6.5 bee? 156 Oryx/Alaskan/Vulkan or the Woodleigh 160 PPSN
W760 and H414 and W780 supreme. the 300 WSM was built around 760 by Winchester. Look for loads that have a 95-100 % fill rate as it likes a full case. both my rifles like near max loads with both 165 and 180gr pills
the longer bullets(AB, ABLR and ETIP) are going to be less stable yes but only marginally. The partition will stabilze fine as its a much shorter bullet.
