So the story goes I bought a LOAD of 6.5-300 WBY Mag brass about half of it unfired, the other half fired. The new brass chambered as it should, the once fired brass (from someone else's rifle) would not. It had the bulge above the rim. I also have a .257 WBY mag that the brass is starting the...

Today was dismal! The best group I could get was like 6" at 100 yards. It did not like that bullet powder combo at all. I am going to try some N165 next, that is my go to powder when I am having issues. Labradar Crono had me from 3540 to 3600fps but it was all over the place

Finished my Savage 110 6.5-300 Weatherby build today. This rifle started life as a 30-06. The stock is a Savage Accustock I custom painted and baked with KG Gunkote I had to do a little machining on the receiver and added bottom metal and an extra length mag for seating these already long...

I finished the rifle up today. Cerakoted action and barrel, free floated barrel, glassed front lug and mounted the scope. The first Mossberg Patriot in 300WSM to my knowledge.

After the Savage AXIS build in 300WSM the "Smacksys" only one of its kind, my friend asked me to do the same to his .243 Mossberg Patriot. I dug around my pile of barrels and found a nice heavy profile .308 barrel that I chambered in 300wsm and threaded for the Mossberg (Same as a Savage) and...

The primary issue with Bond Strike is and always has been availability of component bullets for reloading. I bought a lifetime supply of the 143gr 6.5 Bond Strikes but the 180gr 30 cal are unobtanium. I just shot a big for SC doe this weekend with a 143gr BS out of a 26 Nosler. She turned off...

All great advice guys, thanks! You know something else I have noticed, I also own a 26 and 30 Nosler but the 28 Nosler has more felt recoil than either of the others. In fact the 28 is on par with my 300 Remington UltraMag. My friend said "That is just 7mm for ya" but never having shot any other...

Finally got the chance to harvest a doe with the 28 Nosler and the 154gr SST at about 125 yards behind the shoulder. I will be switching to a bonded bullet the deer was knocked off it's feet on impact and it looked like it was hit by a bazooka. Far to much meat loss with that bullet rifle...

WARNING THE LOAD DATA GIVEN BELOW IS NOT SAFE FOR MILITARY ACTIONS Made it to the range today to start tuning it up. Using Staball 6.5 powder, REM 9 1/2 MAG primers, and new WIN brass fully prepped. COAL was 3.000 for all rounds. I started with 44.5gr and worked all the way up to 48gr in .5...

Thought you guys might want to see a more traditional build. 6.5x55 Swed Mauser Built on a fully heat treated BRNO VZ24 Action (fully blueprinted) Hand carved and checkered Valero walnut stock (Made from a solid block!) JARD Trigger 1:8 twist GM barrel Topped it with Steel Leopold rings and a...

Taking it to the woods in the morning and see if I can get a deer. Taken it twice already in the evening but did not see anything, crossing my fingers for the morning hunt!

I finally made it to the range today with the 28 Nosler. As a Deer hunter I am only testing hunting bullets, I tried 160gr Nosler Ballistic Tip, I also tried the 152gr Cutting Edge Maximus, neither of these were spectacular, all under 1MOA but meeh. I then moved to the Hornady 154gr SST, I tried...

No it is a MEOPTA Optika6 5-30x56 FFP. I wish it was a Tangent Theta! :)

I recently picked up a Savage 116 in .300 Win mag. It simply would not group to my liking so I decided to build a 28N on it. Pulled it all apart blue printed the action, ordered a profiled barrel blank (McGowen 1:8 27") and chambered and threaded on my lathe. Set the headspace snug. I really...
