Great thread. My first unicorn was a 16ga Browning, built on a 16 gauge frame with a schnabel forearm. Browning came out with a special run of the 525 about 5 years ago and I found my first unicorn to be a new unicorn. My second unicorn is still in the wild: an M70 featherweight in 7mmWSM...

I've just started working on another 7mmRM I bought. I too have RL-22. I loaded to Nosler's specs Saturday and with my first three shots at 200 yards using 150g Partitions I got this group moving around 3250 ft/sec: If I confirm next weekend I'll just call it good. (You also mention Ramshot...

I wish I had some great yarn to spin or a tale to tell. I'm not the best at calling these birds, nor do I understanding their habits. Mostly they mock me each weekend of the season if they talk to me at all. Alas, neither my buddy or I killed one the weekend before (opening weekend), but we...

Perfect morning... -B

My son loves cooking game. That night I think he broiled them wrapped in bacon, black beans, peppers, wild rice. From field to table in but a few hours...

Forgot to get this posted in November. Son's first pheasant. NW Iowa.

In the early 80's our small town in Tennessee had a gun club (skeet and trap) just outside the city limits. Nobody there was under the age 60. If I would come on Tuesday afternoons to pull and keep score, I was allowed to shoot for $.75 per round at the end of the day. My mom or dad would...

All - I have just begun to dial in a new 7mmRM T3x Superlight with 160g Accubonds or Partitions. Thanks to FOTIS and Dr. Mike and others, I found on other posts the QL data and such. I have worked my way up to 66.0g of RL-22 where there was a distinct accuracy node. My last 2 3-shot groups at...

Found. Thanks.

Labor Day Weekend means the opening of Dove Season in Tennessee. Quick limits this year...

Do any of you do this with a duplex reticle? And if you do, can one get overlap between the MPBR of the crosshairs and the MPBR off the top of the bottom post? Is your distance in the small wires close enough or your rifle shooting fast enough for overlap? Context: I have never shot a deer...

All - looking for a used one of these. Thank you in advance. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/110552/tikka+t3+jrtxgsl70+t3x+superlite+bolt+7mm+rem+mag+243+3%2B1+green+fixed+synthetic+stock+matte+black+receiver

Many thanks. Leaning in makes a difference in the basement; and the write-up on PRB was insightful. I hope to practice later this month. B

I picked up a used Pig Tripod, Sunwayfoto ball, and Hog Saddle this week. This morning I went and shot while sitting on my bum. What kind of accuracy should I expect? Off a bag at 200 yards I shoot under .5 MOA. Prone with a bipod I shoot the same. This morning I was 1.5 MOA seated shooting...

Update - For the last 3 weekends I have gotten .7" for each 3-shot group with 175g Partitions, and .5" for 160g Accubonds. (I have been so pleased with this.) I picked up a headspace gauge last week to make my brass more consistent; and then I seated the Accubonds a few thou lower b/c of a...

All, many thanks for your advice and information. Since measuring to the ogive I have gotten consistent groups week to week with both my 175g and 160g Partitions. Now to get to work on my 7mm-08. Bill

Quickly? This has not seemed quick at all. (But I have enjoyed the process. I should have started this years ago.) Last year I bought a 2003 Rem700 at an estate sale. First bedding job. First free floating job. New trigger and butt pad. I have always hunted woods until this year when...

Many thanks for the replies/information. I know so little; but lurking here for a few months has definitely increased my learning curve. Taking the 175g Partitions .015 off the land measure I got this: That's 63.0g of RL-22 -B

I just started reloading, 7mm RM. I was making all my cartridges 3.290 inches, but could not get consistent groups (sub MOA) with 175 Partitions. Accubonds, yes. 140g Partitions, yes. So I bought an OAL gauge and started measuring the ogive. It appears to me that the ogive on 175g...
