Nice to know! When I'm pulling those old bullets, I always seat it a few thousandths deeper to break any hold before I pull it out. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I have the Forster as well simply because I got it with a few collets on eBay cheap. I often wonder if the Hornady cam lock version is any good but won't change, there is no reason to for what I need. What I'd look at is full cost. What collets you need, and make sure it will work in the press...

Every 7mm I've tried shot well with the 160 AB and 66.0gr RL22. That being said, I used a 150gr Swift Scirocco II this year and at 230 yards put down my deer easily, and I hit a bit further back then I would have liked. Punched the liver and still bruised the lungs. With high velocity rifles I...

I tried them early on and didn't get great results. I can cloverleaf the 180 ABs in my M77, and can get pretty consistent 1-1.5" in the AR with the Hotcors. I'm thinking about trying to talk the wife into getting me a Savage hog hunter in 338 Fed simply because I want one. Sent from my XT1650...

I started loading the 338 Federal with a healthy dose of RL15 and the 200gr Hotcor in my DPMS. I want to say it took 46.5gr to get the bolt to consistently lock back, and it was accurate enough for what I did with it. I've used most medium rifle powders with my 338 Feds, settling on H335 with...

I'm assuming that was a blem due to the backwards nature of the bolt handle? ;) Mighty fine looking craftsmanship! I'll be calling them tomorrow to see if they still have it on hand Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I took quite a while to hand fit it for her and then used auto clear on it and buffed it. We put a Whidden V block in it. In all her pregnant glory shooting at 450 yards she's killer. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I did one of their Savage stocks for the wife and it looked like it was profiled by beavers. But for that price I can do that is needed for sure. I'll see what I can do to get that. Thanks!!! SHM Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

We are going to start with an old Savage model 19 NRA 22 lr. I've taught many people to shoot. My wife now shoots better than I do. She's continually getting 1.5-3" groups at 450 yards with her 6mm BR. Basically my plan is to to build the rifle with parts I have in hand now, simply ordering a...

After shooters choice late Friday multiple times, letting it sit at minimum ten minutes and usually an hour, then letting it soak again overnight it kept coming out bright blue. Saturday morning I used wipe out with accelerator, let it sit an hour and a half, pushed out more carbon and copper...

I have a factory Savage 12 in 22-250 that I started cleaning on Friday, and patches are still coming out blue. I've used different solvents, and I'm almost there, the Lyman borescope still shows copper fouling. It was shooting .5 consistently, then started opening up. Basically what I'm saying...

Hey there, Going to be building a 6x45mm off a Remington 700. Looking for some advice on it. It's going to be a barrel nut set up, with plans of using it as a back up coyote gun and first deer rifle for the kids. Two girls ages 6 and 8, they just decided they want to start shooting and...

Great! Thank you. Looks like a winner to me. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Hey there, Just wondering if I could get quick load data on 338-06 and CFE 223. Never thought about using this powder, saw that folks are using it for the 35 Whalen, might as well try. 225 Accubond, Winchester 30-06 brass necked up, 3.450 COAL, 25" barrel. Not sure if QL has the 225 Speer Deep...

What helps me is I'm 6'3" and wide in the chest and shoulders. It fits me perfectly but maybe I'm an outlier. Maybe I'll look at the Allen's just to have a back up and compare side to side. Thanks for the heads up!! Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

After having shoulder surgery a few years back, I wouldn't shoot half the number of rounds per year I do if it wasn't for my PAST pad. I jumped ahead of my shooting buddies and call it my puss pad, now most of them want one. Great shooting! Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I took mine at about the same distance this year with a 7 Rem Mag, using the 150gr Swift Scirocco II at about 3115. He made it about 75 yards, very little blood as well. I was a bit further back with shot placement, not an ounce of wasted meat. Nice young six pointer, and the rut up north had...

I've used RL23 with the heavies, 180 ELD-M, and got some of my most consistent SDs, single digits the norm. I think you will like what you find with it. I'm going to try it a bit more now that I've tagged out this year. Want to see what I'll get with a 150 Swift Scirocco II, so keep us informed...

Why thank you. I did my job, albeit not as well as I could have. I was back about six inches from where I wanted to be. I'm still new to deer hunting, this being the second year, and after watching his pal through the scope for about a minute before he came out, I was itchy. A crotch six...

This years six pointer. Young deer but I was cold and it's meat in the freezer. 230 yards with the 7mm RM, could have placed my shot a tad bit more forward but he didn't even make it 100 yds. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
