I couldn't believe the velocity either. I did talk to my cousin and he is running 57.0grs. of IMR-4350 with 165gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips through a Winchester Model 70 Super Grade and getting similar velocities. Larry

Due to running out of time and $$$ I ended up with a scope for the .308 that we are going to use for the time being. I ended up with a new Bushnell Trophy XLT 3x9x in a trade and that is what we are going to use for the time being. I am thinking next year though I am going to pick up a 2x7x...

I ended up with a load of 57.0grs. H-4350 with the 165gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips loaded in new Winchester Brass with CCI-200 Primers. Cartridge overall length is 3.355" (.002" off the lands). Groups are hovering right at 1" with the best group going .858" center to center at 100 yards. The...

With my 20" Remington Model 700 SPS (SPS Sporter shortened to 20") I ended up loading 45.0grs. of Varget with 165gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips (and Partitions) as the load of choice. My .308 didn't like 150's at all. My average velocity for 25 rounds over the chronograph for the Ballistic Tips...

I was talking to my cousin the other day and his load is almost exactly the same as yours except he is using 165gr. Ballistic Tips instead of Accubonds. Larry

Thanks Guy I actually had read that article once before (very good article). Hopefully this weekend I can get some test loads loaded up. Larry

Thanks guys I have actually thought about the stock situation. The current plan is to have them shoot it and go from there. If I need to pick up a SPS Compact Stock that shouldn't be too dificult. Larry

No I didn't trade my wife for a new Rifle. However I did trade my Blued / Synthetic Remington Model 700 SPS .308 in for a Stainless / Synthetic Remington Model 700 SPS .308. When we picked up the Rifle the wife really liked the Rifle but commented on how long and front heavy it was. I said we...

I recently picked up a T/C Encore with a 24" Stainless-Steel .30-06 Barrel. I have it all set up, Trigger Job with a Bellm #3 Trigger Spring for a 2 1/2 Lb pull, Stratton Custom Stainless-Steel Scope Base, Weaver 1" High Silver Quad Lock Dual Extension Rings with a Bushnell Elite 3200 3x9x40mm...

Several years back I had a pre-Accutrigger Mark II FV. After some trigger work I was pleased with how it shot. Of the different ammo I shot in it Wolf Match Target produced the smallest groups. For Hollow Points it seemed to perfer the Federal HiPower Hollow Points of the time. Don't remember...

I have a 16" Chrome Lined AR-15 that really, really likes 55gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips loaded with H4895. I am running them at 2950 FPS from my 16" and 40+ coyotes are no longer around since I have had this AR to testify that these bullets work for predators. However I would not use them for...

I really like that Weaver scope a lot. It is very crisp and clear and has given me no problems what so ever. I have a Weaver V-16 on my Remington Model 700 SPS Tactical .223 also and really like it as well. Larry

I just finished putting this one together yesterday. The stock is a Classic Bell & Carlson with a .920" Barrel Channel. The Barrel is a Factory Carbine Barrel I had shortened & recrowned to 17" and attached a Green Mountain Aero Barrel Shroud with out the slots mounted to the barrel (this gives...

Yep some very nice .22's in this thread. I would be afraid to hunt with some of those for fear of putting a ding in them. Funny you should mention a .22 WMR as I just traded some 10/22 parts to a guy for a Savage Model 93F .22 WMR. It is nothing to look at but hopefully it will shoot. I have...

This is one I built about a year ago. It is a Ruger 10/22 in a Nordic Components AR-22 Receiver Chassis. It has a Green Mountain 20" Stainless-Fluted Bull Barrel and wears a Weaver 6.5x20x44mm AO Series 40/44. This is a Ruger K77/22VBZ. I had the 24" Barrel shortened and recrowned to 20" and...

I have a friend that his son bought a .30-06 Remington Model 700 ADL Synthetic for his first rifle. My friend asked me if we could come up with a load that didn't recoil so much for his young son. I loaded up 125gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips with H-4895. I took the load directly from the Hodgdon...

Many years ago I used to only load Winchester W-760 (sort of a twin to H-414) in the .30-06. I always obtained good results with it but didn't like the fact that it was so temperature sensative. I have since switched to H-4350 and never looked back. H-4350 and the .30-06 go to gether like Ice...

Not in a Rifle but I have had a Custom Remington XP-100 and a Bullberry Contender Barrel chambered in 6x45mm. Out of the Handgun Barrels I was obtaining 2650 FPS with the 80gr. Speer Hot Core Spitzers. That is the bullet I used for Whitetails with good success. For Varmints I mainly used the...

Good shootin Pop. Now WHY would you want to grow up, and quit enjoying yourself? Heck I hope I never grow up. Larry

Since I have two Contender Frames (one a SST Original Contender Frame and one a SST G2 Contender Frame) I am considering converting my SST G2 Frame to a Rifle. Considering that some of the places I shoot Ground Squirrels (Gophers in my part of the world) only allow shooters to use Rimfires and...
