I thought I scored on some Nosler 100 gr CC, ordered them two days ago from SPS, they are arriving tomorrow. Just looked back at the SPS website and realized they are 6.5 cal. Oops
Back to the drawing board in trying to find the Hornady 105's !!
Resurrecting an old thread.
Wanting to try shooting some longer range stuff (500-600 yds) Tried to convince myself to by a new rifle, but I have Rem 700 VLS in 243 with the barrel cut to 20 inches.
The Rem shoots great at 200-300 yds with 80 and 85 gr Sierras.
Sounds like I need to find...
Over the years, like many other, I have owned a lot of rifles in a variety of calibers. Some of the rifles have changed, but there has been some consistency in calibers.
But never a rifle in 7 mm mag, not even briefly. I recognize the ballistics are great for a do all rifle.
Now days, my...
I picked up this rifle a few months ago.
M48 in 300 WSM.
The stock appears to be a carbon fiber, but NOT from Nosler. I called and spoke with the Nosler people.
Stock weighs 24-25 ozs.
There are no manufacture markings on the stock. Anyone have an idea who might have made it?
Great...
JWhit. I recently bought a couple 6.5 PRC rifles. In one of the rifles, I noticed the same thing with partitions. LRAB and AB run fine at max COAL, but not the PT. Shortened to 2.85 and they cycle great. Will shot in the next day or two. Hoping to black bear hunt with it next week
Thanks. Loaded some 200 AB with a good load of RL-15. The Encore action allows the barrel to be 27 inches, thus getting the most for the powder.
Accuracy was 1 - 1 1/2. Sighted in 2 inches high at 100 yds.
Velocity was 2815. Think I am going to back off 2 grs. Aiming for 2750 ish for...
Have long admired Nosler rifles. Recently pick up a couple. I didn't realize that the M48 in 280AI came in both magnum and sporter barrels. I had only seen magnum. Was surprised today coming across one in sporter contour. About 1/2 lb lighter.
Had one and passed it along a few years ago. Mine shot well, I ended up using 200gr AB and removing the tips for a FP.
If you need some brass, I have some once fired. Send me a PM
Funny thing. Was cleaning the man cave today and found a large bag of Rem 7mm Exp brass that was already fire formed for 280AI. Must have come with a previous rifle.
Switched 280 AI rifles and mistakenly gave all my 280 AI brass with the rifle I sold.
Seems Nosler 280AI brass is hit or miss in quality. Seems other brands are hard to find.
I am going to fire form some R-P brass to get started.
Wondering about getting some Lapua brass and forming 280AI...
