I’m a little puzzled. I got my wife a Christensen 300wsm a few years ago as her primary hunting rifle. We both love the gun, shoots awesome. We actually named it Laser because it doesn’t matter what you give it, it just shoots. The only draw back, since day one the bolt is stiff with any fired...

Ah! Very cool. I have a lot of Canadian customers that work for Frac companies and are located around here and the south. Was just curious if you may be also. Sorry to derail this thread.

As stupid as this sounds, I have started staying away from ball powders because I can't stand the mess they make on my load bench and how much they seem to change POI with temperature.

I owe you a beer or two! Thank you so much

With some of the trials I have done (at the recommendation from this forum and JD) seating deeper into the case, I am going back to the drawing board on my 6.5 PRC. I'm going to start at .050 (ogive) off the lands. Since I'm doing this, I was going to test some of the other powders I typically...

Are you following the Oil & Gas business, maybe working for a frac company?

Not to derail the dirty 30 topic.. So you're panhandle? I grew up North East of Dallas. Family is all still there and we go often. Dad has land in San Saba that we hunt whitetail, hogs, and have now seen an Axis out there too. There is Axis hunting in Lano, we are thinking it just roamed...

I've loaded both and I don't care for the FTX in my 30/30's. They supposedly fly better, with less resistance and increase the accuracy node on this caliber... I have not seen that in any of my testing. The silvertip or the powerpoints in one of my model 94's shoots better than a lever should...

That's amazing!

I myself have not seen a swing that large, but I don't have much experience with the 25-06 and hope to never expand on it haha. I can't sit here and say that I remember ever swing in primer change I have ever made, but i would venture to say I don't recall even 80fps. Don't know that I've went...

I'm still not a big fan of their stuff, but I think it's a mindset more than their actual stuff.. either way, no one can knock their customer service. It's top notch for sure.

There is two answers to this one; for guns I'm colleting I like the old world, rare calibers. The odd ball stuff is what I really want in those. Most of them I don't carry or shoot much. For a lever I'm going to carry hunting I really like 44mag. I most frequently hunt with a lever in heavy...

Couldn't agree more. The first comment to OP should be reaching out to Winchester, doing a search on the lot number of primers he got and stop shooting that load until he figures out what is going on with Primers.

I wish I had a good spare that I could pitch in to support. Unfortunately, my scopes available are not at all what you are looking for. With Eurooptic and Grice in my backyard, I'm always watching what's in stock. I have noticed Euro has a handful of pretty good deals for their floor...

Nice shooting, I like the gun too! Do you mind sharing your load data? Which Berger's are you running and what powder/how much? I'm looking to try out long range and start dialing my skills in this space. Potentially hunting and taking game at a longer range as time and practice have passed...

This one is loaded haha. Because I like to collect old levers, and old Winchester's my count in multiple guns of the same caliber is off set. Those are more I get whatever cal the gun I find is already in and not really the caliber I want. For guns that I bought new and picked the caliber...

These post are taking me back to the days you never thought your dad would get old and your perspective on the world and the people in it was much different! First gun ever - Remington 22mag First high power - Savage .243, I don't recall the model. My Dad got it when we was 12 and handed it...

Ahh, got ya.

Did those slower rounds deviate more than your typical load? Amount of drop and response to the wind more specifically?

I'm late as well, but commenting more so I can follow and see what you end up with. Optics are so broad and there are so many great choices, you can really dive into the fine details to zero in what is best for you. Me, I tend to like Leupold and Swaro on my hunting guns, target guns are the...
