    Buy, Sell or Hold?

    I’m cleaning the barrel from when Ruger test fired it…… It always amazes me when I get a new rifle and begin working up a load for it! Obviously with all the 6.5mm/.264 caliber rifles that I’ve owned finding bullets for it shouldn’t be an issue. I figured that after breaking in the barrel...

    Buy, Sell or Hold?

    I’ve read mixed reviews on how these particular rifles shoot? The end cap is making contact with the barrel band, and the wood stock on both sides where the rear sight is attached to the barrel. What’s odd is it came in a brand new box from Ruger stamped 01/29/25 and I looked up the...

    7 PRC Loads

    Looks like H4831sc and the 175 LRAB is working well in your gun. That’s what has worked well for me in my 280AI FMR too but with the 160 BT, Partitions and the AB too but just not as well.

    Nosler 64gr BSB

    I bought a 1,000 of these from RRP a few weeks ago and have since shot them out of my Afghan N4. I was able to quickly get them to work with IMR 8208 XBR in L.C. Brass @ 1.915” which puts them right on the top edge of the cannelure. I haven’t shot them past 100 yards yet. That said I was...

    Trijicon

    I have a 1-10x28 Credo Red/Green circle Mrad that is just fantastic for running game or long shots too! It’s way better than the older ACOG scopes that I still use on a short range home defense rifle that has a RMR on top that allows me to roll the rifle left for my left eye to use since I’m...

    Down Payment

    They usually offer laundry service every day in camp, At least where I worked. I just wasn’t happy about my white underwear being returned to me brown from the water when I told him not to touch my laundry! I am perfectly happy doing my own laundry, but I also wasn’t on a tight schedule or a...

    A Zebra makes a great flat skin rug. Beautiful colors on any floor and are fairly durable.

    Neck Tension and Seating Force - UPDATE

    Forster makes a great product Motor Mica for lubing the inside of the case neck. It works well and I’ve never experienced a problem with it in 25 years….. Powder contamination or grippy case necks that stick to the bullets over time. It helps immensely when you wet tumble, or with new brass.

    Killing

    Yah, I’ve often felt that way too. It was living to feed the living…. Not any different than in the wild. Better than being run over by a vehicle, or Semi truck, or something else that takes a long time to die. We as hunters give more back more than not to the life of the animal at its end...

    16" vs 24" .308 Win Velocity...

    Gavin did you justice by using a 1:8” out of a 16” bbl. so you’ll get two full revolutions before the bullet exits. I’ve always just fallowed that rule even though some people might not see it that way? Simple rule actually vs length of a bullet…. I’ve never been one to shoot a low SD...

    16" vs 24" .308 Win Velocity...

    Your first shot was spot on and would have been enough, but I completely understand your concern had it jumped the fence. Good shooting, cool rifle too! Which Tika is that? Looks like a low magnified Vortex 1-8?

    Graven has really been working hard on getting into the gunsmithing business. He’s very astute, so anything he does I’m sure will be done very well! I’ve been following him for a number of years with his ultimate reloader YouTube videos. So you had him build you a new rifle? So why have we...

    FS: Short Action Customs 260 Rem. PRS Rifle. $3,250. 00.

    I’m including a Redding Type S Match F/L die set and one Titanium bushing to the buyer of the 260 Remington, unless the buyer wants the Kreiger 308 Winchester instead?

    FS: Short Action Customs 260 Rem. PRS Rifle. $3,250. 00.

    I’ve decided to include a like new MagnetoSpeed V3 to help solve selling this rifle. If someone wants the chronograph, pm me and I’ll take that off the price of the rifle. If somebody wants another cartridge other than a 260, I’ll take off $350 and keep the 7 boxes of Lapua brass and you can...

    FS: Short Action Customs 260 Rem. PRS Rifle. $3,250. 00.

    We’ll see if this works: Yesterday @ 378 unsupported rear, typical PRS type shooting position, elevated off the ground just about chest high. I shot the white flapper @ 370 , six rounds total the day before. Both days were with tricky winds. Yesterday I was able to get off all five in a row...

    Rifle scopes

    Well what started out two years ago is back up and running. I’ll add my two cents. Lately I’ve gotten back into hunting, and as such I haven’t changed what’s important in a hunting scope. #1 would be robust and repeatable tracking. #2 would be a WIDE field of view. #3 would be is the...

    .280 Rem. Mountain Rifle

    I think what Paul B. said is solid. If the first two are way off you’ll know you’re on the wrong track, and the third is the truth. A bullet never lies as they say. I prefer to see a triangle over vertical or horizontal no matter how big it is. That’s were you want concentrate your...

    FS: Short Action Customs 260 Rem. PRS Rifle. $3,250. 00.

    I bought this used from MHSA in October of 2020, not 2018. It is by far The most accurate rifle I’ve ever bought! I was told it had only 800-900 rounds through it. I used it for the next 4 years and had SAC install another 27” Hawk Hill MTU 1:8” .264 cal barrel in February of 2023 I had bought...
