I can't take credit for noticing this, I saw it somewhere else, but it's hard to believe that 3 women named Whoopi, Joy and Sunny could be some of the most miserable people on the planet. BTW Whoopi Goldberg your real name is Caryn Johnson isn't that cultural appropriation? Thought that was...

Yes they were. I was able to use a drop tube and tap the case so it settled and also seat the bullet out father. Compression wasn't too bad loaded like that.

The 225 gr data came out before the 200 gr AB was introduced. In my old Sako 35 Whelen I ran the 225 gr Accubond with 60 gr Varget for 2763 fps I believe. It was safe in my gun. With my present Whelen I tried the 200 gr Accubond with Varget as well and used up to 61 gr. That was before the 200...

I don't have any experience with a braked 300 Wby but the non braked 700 Classic in that caliber I fired you definitely knew it!

Really beautiful rifle in a really cool round. You did very well with this one. Love the looks of a well done laminate rifle, I bet this will shoot lights out for you.

Welcome to the forum. Sure sounds like a well thought out plan. Nothing wrong with the 338-06 AI for all around use. Consider some of the light mono bullets too like the Barnes 185 TTSX or something similar from other companies. 180 gr Accubond combined with a similar weight mono would handle...

@Guy Miner since you are also fixed power scope fan maybe you and Gavin could do a review on this scope. I see he has reviewed Athlon in the past and this one would be right up your alley. Would be awesome on your 308, 6.5 Creed, 25-06 or even one of the varmint rigs.

Would like to know more about this. Never heard of a 200 gr 264 or a 5.5 twist. The sectional density must be through the roof with that thing!

I know that they can be good and hold zero but one I had was 8" high at 100 yards one day unfortunately for no reason. The other one I was always having to tweak zero but in fairness that could have been the mounts. Loved them and wish someone would make a solid fixed power. SWFA scopes are...

Time will tell one way or another. If this works and they make a 270 version I would be very interested.

I noticed that too. I guess they are just being accurate on where the reticle is even though it functionality won't make a difference. I moved on from my Leupold fixed powers since they wouldn't stay zeroed but would like to have at least one fixed power scope again. I believe Meopta makes an...

Federal apparently has been working on this for 6 years, I'm sure they have figured out how to make this work. All the companies offering rifles have confidence in it too or they wouldn't have jumped on board It sounds like the reloading process will be a bit different from what we're used to...

Anyone try one of these yet? Thinking about trying one on my 260 Rem. I like the simplicity of a fixed power scope but they are hard to find these days. https://athlonoptics.com/product/talos-btr-gen2-10x42-aagr1-sfp-moa/

The 129 gr Hornady is another good one. The 120 gr Ballistic Tip is a really accurate bullet and should be on the list. I bet almost any of the 130 gr bullets from any of the big makers will work awesome in a 9 twist. When I had a 1 in 9 twist 260 the shorter length 140's did fine too. My Tikka...

It's an interesting concept. This has been years in the making so I'm sure they have tested for this. When the data is released we will find out what they recommend.

Jim Harmer matched the 7 PRC shooting the same weight bullet using the 7 BC. The 7 PRC used a 26" barrel and the 7 BC a 16" barrel though. If this thing does what Federal claims it could very well obsolete a lot of newer rounds. It will burn 55-60 gr or powder and exceed rounds currently made...

I would have thought the same but Ron Spomer and Joseph Von Benedickt have talked with Federal and it appears that it will be similar to rounds that burn about the same amount of powder like the 280 AI. Apparently Federal didn't know either when they started but that's what they have found.

Trudeau's approval rating is 16% still to high but unprecedented anywhere in the western world.

They say it can be reloaded so we'll have to see if there are any special processes to do so. I probably won't get one but am going to be watching with interest the see how it goes.
