I bought 100 of the 7mm .284" Nosler E-tips in 140gr from Shooters Pro Shop a while back. I developed a good load in my 280AckImp but I'm going to go a different direction. I have 81 left. I'm looking for any of the following: 8mm, 7mm, 6.5mm bullets or I would trade for a F/L set of 308win...

Hornady Dies are still for sale. Would also trade for a 308win F/L die set

The Hornady 8x57 dies were used for roughly 8 months and there is no rust on them. I can fit these in a small flat rate box. Hornady 8x57 Dies - $35 shipped TYD First post claims them then follow up with a PM for details. PayPal as a gift, Check, or Postal Money order is fine for payment...

Hawk, I went with the Leupold rear windage adjustable bases with the turn in front ring. If I had it to do over again I'd have probably went with Warne Weaver style bases / rings only due to the fact I like those better. I have had zero issues with the leupolds but I like the looks of the...

I have the Sauer 100 Ceratech. Prepare yourself for a great shooting well made rifle that has one of the smoothest bolts I've personally used/ seen. My Sauer is a 8x57IS and it's a joy to carry in the field. My rifle is the ceratech version and it's held up really well for a few hunting...

Honestly I get cracked up when people say the Creedmoor is a fad cartridge or it'll make you grow a man bun. Every major manufacturer chambers a rifle for it. It's not going anywhere anytime soon. enjoy the shoot ability of this cartridge, very modest recoil, the inherent accuracy , and the...

I too have a fascination with the European metric cartridges. I have this 8x57 and I have a 7x57 in a Winchester Featherweight that was given to me by my father. One of these days I might add a 9.3x62 so who knows.

I cant speak for the Sauer 101, but the 100 series is top notch and its the bottom rung in their series of rifles. Im sure the 101 would be a fantastic rifle. This 100 is super accurate with most bullets/powders and the bolt is butter smooth compared to other rifles in its price category. Its...

Honestly I don't remember. I know this particular rifle doesn't shoot the same POI on a clean bore. Truth be told it was probably me. I rarely put all 4 of them together.

Ive been loading for the 8x57 for a few years and Ive been able to test several bullets, but this year, I decided to try a new one. I was able to find a load pretty quickly with the 175gr Sierra ProHunter and CFE 223. Im shooting this load in a Sauer 100 with a 22inch barrell. 175gr Sierra...

Ive had a 6.5 Creedmoor for a few years, and I developed several good loads for it, but my son got into deer hunting, and the rifle fit him really well, so I donated it to him. I bought myself a Bergara B-14 "Wilderness" Ridge back in June. Ive been working up a few different loads, trying to...

A few years ago, my brother in law used some GMX bullets from his 270 win and killed some WV deer with authority. I was impressed enough to load some 55gr GMX and take a fat doe with my .223. I wanted to continue to try these bullets so Ive been working up some loads in my 6.5 Creedmoor. This...

I just recently picked up 200 of the 142gr 6.5 ABLR from Shooters Pro Shop a few weeks ago. I've yet to try them so I can't comment on them. I'm hoping they shoot as well as the 143gr ELD-X does. I'll be loading them in a 6.5 creedmoor. Those of you who have done load development, does the...

I got the same email and by the time I looked, it said they were sold out. It made me think, were they ever actually in stock ?

Anyone wet tumbling? I currently use southern shine media with dawn dish soap, and a dash of lemishine. I've read about others using car wash/wax but don't know what brand is best. I've been wondering, could you use purple power or simple green since they're both degreasers? What works...

HAWK, congrats on picking up a piece of history that you'll be able to use and enjoy. I think you'll find it's a fun cartridge to load for, you'll have a decent selection of bullets to choose from and you'll be able to tackle most any animal in North America. I love loading for my 8x57 and I...

My dad, has a 6.5x55 and about 5 years ago, he bought me a 7x57. Flash forward a few years ago and I decided I had to have a 8x57. So, I set out to buy one in a modern action because I wanted to load for it like it was meant to be. I wound up buying a Sauer 100 Ceratech in the ol' 8x57. I...

Ive used it in my 223rem with 52gr match bullets. Accuracy was really good. My only experience with this powder.

Shade Tree, I typically clean my rifles after a day at the range. A typical shooting day is usually anywhere from 15 to 30 shots. I never thought about the first shot from the clean barrel being slower. Thanks for your input

Sorry I forgot to mention that in my post. The jug test was conducted at a distance of 50yds. I tried the test at 100yds but the bullet kept coming out of the side of one of the jugs and getting lost in the dirt. The SST Penetrated 4 jugs and was recovered in the 5th jug.
