    I doubt it. No one else is yet either. Just the 2 offerings from Hornady so far.

    How did we miss the new 6.5 Weatherby RPM?

    I agree as long as its not long as a pencil and has some semblance of a pointed tip. For that we really only have these 3 and the berger is too long. 156 gr oryx is 1.29 156gr EOL Hunter 1.512 160gr Weldcore 1.381 the rest of the 150, 155-156, 160gr bullets are either RN or Match This spring I...

    The unicorn

    How light are we talking? sub 1lb? The Swaro Z5 3.5-18x44 is 15.9 oz. probably the best LW money can buy. Not cheap at $1300 or so.

    Father son AR15 platform project, need some input

    Preface: So I got into a project with my son this last summer. We decided to have an AR put together that would be a budget Upper swap project. Nothing fancy just plain jane nitride black. We did not want a vanilla 223/5.56 so I found a local shop that specializes in budget ARs to see the...

    What to do with a 700 action?

    Since its already a long action why limit yourself to the 284 other than nostalgia. if its a 7mm bore you want then I would say 280AI.

    How did we miss the new 6.5 Weatherby RPM?

    coop its funny you put it that way I have opposite ends in my stable right now with the Grendel and on the other end my 26 Nosler. I feel like I need a middle child but it wont be this one. I am currently looking at the M70 FW stainless in 6.5 Creedmoor to fill the void.

    New/old 6mm Remington

    In .243W and 6mmR the 55gr BT and the 95gr BT are THE GO TO bullets for us. IMR powder was my dads favorite because it was useful across most of the calibers be reloaded for, abundant and less expensive. In these 2 it was 3031 and 4350. 4000fps for the 55 and 3000fps for the 95 laid low many a...

    Carter's first buck

    I hear you there! That's a hoss of a buck for the first one!!! Congrats to the young man and his proud father. My oldest did the same thing, his first buck was a dandy 145" deer taken with his grandads .243 and handloads, full frontal chest shot as he came out of the creek bottom at about 40yrds.

    Not A Rifle

    A severe wrist injury to my draw hand in 2013 has really hampered my archery. It was shattered so bad it took a 5" metal plate, 6 screws and 6 pins to put it back together. It took 6 months after fully healing to get started rehabbing with a bow. I used my son's Mission Craze. If you don't know...

    Steiner scope opinions

    I have this scope on my 26 Nosler MRC X2. It is fantastic glass and the S1 reticle is top notch. my dope card for the 142 ABLR factory load gets me to 785yds on the stadia no turret twisting or dialing. Burris bought them several years ago and they are now manufactured in Greeley CO. It is no...

    Anybody shoot silhouette?

    Thank you gemihur he was a one of a kind I can tell you. He passed in 2012 and boy do I miss him everyday. If I can be half the outdoorsman, 1/4 of the rifleman, and 1/10 of the pistol shot he was then I will have done very well for myself. Most of what I know of firearms/cartridge history...

    Anybody shoot silhouette?

    My dad did in the 80s. Contender with a super 14 30-30 barrel for the Rams and used a 7.5" Blackhawk Bisley 357 for FP. He sweat soldered a gold bead rod on the front sight for height and crafted a peep out of metal that fit into the rear sight slot so that the windage screw moved it. it was...

    Not everyone's cup of tea but a score in my book.

    we all know the story of the 6mm and why it almost died and never got its legs under it after the 243 came out but it is the better cartridge in my opinion. We had a 600 6mm as well and I took a few deer with it before a hard winter and the need for horses feed sent it down the road. Later a...

    There is just something about 1911s

    You all have heard me say it several times before. There are two kinds of pistols, 1911's and everything else. JMB got it pretty much perfect.
