Good advice Mike and Scotty.
N560 usually gives 100 f/s more velocity, but can also reduce barrel life if that matters to you? A lot of hunters uses it for that purpose, and don’t really worry about bbl life.
You should be able to obtain H4350 currently, it’s been in inventory for a long...
A friend came by to shoot some .22LR at my home. Before we got started I tested the VV N160 260 load from last Fall and shot this at 250 prone. My neck was toast by the fifth shot I could barely keep my focus on what am I doing!! Maybe I need to spend more time prone and dry fire to stretch my...
Casper, AKA Makwa is a hoot! He just wanted to get in the picture and enjoy the sunshine! He’s actually the Star at all the Matches he and I go too!! 🫣🤩🤪
A pair of PRS Switch barrel rifles.
SAC built 260 Hawk Hill 1:8” & a 308 Win. 1:9”Krieger for Tactical Class shooting 185 Juggernauts in a 27” bbl. The HH is 27” too.
GAP 6GT shoots various Berger 105 hybrids , 108 BT’, and the 109 LRHT extremely well & another 308 Win. in a SBR 1:9.5...
Here’s the two rifles that I use for NRL HUNTER competitions, and long range field matches like the Steel Safari, RTC, and such.
A 25x47 in the background, and the Thunder Ranch Rifle in front that I’ve completed with now for over ten years.
Go for it! It’s an easy neck down process and lots of brass out there all ready vs FF.
The SAC Modular die will allow you to size the neck right down to the shoulder. No donut from a std bushing only sizing 2/3rds of the neck. Yes they are expensive, but for wildcatters it makes sense...
Let’s be brutally honest here, you wanted to bash Nosler for your sowers with your inability to acquire a single bullet type for five years. I’ve read this thread from beginning to end, and what I found ironic was that towards the end you wanted to bring your frustration out on this forum...
More manufacturers are now making 300 WSM Brass than ever before! Midway currently has 7 Different Brands of Brass on their site, 4 of those are in stock too. Plus 23 different brands and types of ammunition in stock.
Hardly dead IMO, and now there’s more than a few that make truly great...
My bad, I was referring specifically to whatever he was selling for tumbling bullets with that was sold to reduce fouling

You can purchase the same bullet minus “The marketing hype” Lubalox right now at various online retailers for as low as $27.99 at MidSouth. Midway, PowderValley, and more than a few others that have it in stock.
Plus You’ll no longer be crippled by what is happening to you right now and the...
I’m surprised that if you shoot that bullet that much, why you just didn’t buy the quantity you needed for the life of the rifle or your shooting needs?
You could use the standard 30 cal. 180 BT in place and save yourself the trouble of trying to obtain the same bullet minus the black oxide...
I’ve been waiting to figure out which case to use to a long actioned 25x, and a short barrel to use it suppressed . 22” -20” roughly, 1/2”’will be in the can but a 9” TBAC still gets it long.
I’ve had Manson Precision make me a few reamers, 25x47 Lapua w/a .195 and .180 freebore, and a 280 AI...
I’d like to add that Tripod’s with Hog Saddles, or clamps are great for Varmint, Coyote hunting from a chair or whatever setup you deploy on the ground to sit on.
I still use mine that way when calling unless I’m somewhere I’ll be taking a shot prone.
Here’s something to consider when buying...
Not sure if any of you guys or gals have been to a NRL Hunter Match, PRS, or a field match, but I thought I might share some of what I learned through 10 years of competing.
This is going to just be a place for me to write out some really great ideas that I've perfected in the field while...
I use a Warhorse Development "old canister" bag for that purpose, or the one above and still do with my Manners stocks that have a butt hook, and flat bottoms like the A5 for shooting prone.
The one above is a Warhorse Development "Clede" made w/waxed canvas Chas made for me many years ago...
The A1-3 I used in this build is a mix of a M40A1, and the A3. I have a A3 too which is without the butt hook, and not nearly as wide in the forend as the A5.
The butt hook is useful for holding the bag in place, and since it has a flat bottom rides the bag smoothly straight back under...
A year ago I sold my 280 AI Jarrett Rifle to build a new one geared more towards the type of shooting style that I’ve been improving myself on over the last ten years.
Another GA Precision build with my sourced components except the barrel.
280 AI FMR
Terminus Kratos action.
McMillan A1-3...
Bought this in the middle of June’23. Used, but like new, functions as good as new. You can’t really hurt these things!
American Precision Arms Nitrated Gen 3 Little Bastard Self Timing 30 cal. 5/8x24 brake.
These work extremely well, even with magnums. Needs roughly a .750”-1.0” barrel...
