    .243 90 gr Accubond vs 95 part.

    Isn't that what the Swift A-frame is? :) I've been trying to get the Sierra Gamechanger to work in my new 243 but it just doesn't want to group well. A bit over 3" wide, less than an inch vertical at 300 yards. New stock should be coming so I can bed it tight and see what happens. If that...

    70gr Accubond Seconds

    I can't believe I'm saying this but I didn't order a single one. I'm going to give the 75gr Gold Dot a proper go at half the cost before I jump to the 70gr Accubond in my 22-250. I want to see what one will do in the jugs at 3200 fps before I switch over. I've had perfect expansion in both 6.8...

    QL Request for .308Win Semi-Auto

    I shoot an M88 in 308. I understand I'm not dealing with semi auto port pressure, but have had extremely accurate results with 165gr Hotcor bullets and MR2000 powder. I tried boat tail bullets and did not have any luck. Unfortunately last season my sling popped off while shouldering the rifle...

    QL 22-250 AI 40 degree

    I found a great node with mine and 75gr ELD-Ms at 3370fps using RL23. I don't shoot it hard or hot, but a slow three shot group gave me 0.58" at 300 yards during load development. I'll wring it out this summer to see what it can really do. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    6x45 quickload

    I just don't understand these quickloads. Lowest load density is showing 108%, most of them are at 120%. I don't know how practical they are. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    6x45 quickload

    Yes. I am narrowing it down to AA2200 and H322 for light weight and H335 and CFE223 with midweights. I'm getting ready for some trials with 87gr and maybe some 105s, going to try H380 class for the heavies. I've tried AR Comp without much success, not much velocity there for how much you can...

    6x45 quickload

    Nah, I'm running a 700. Had to modify to allow out to 2.5, but the 80gr are awfully blunt nosed so they won't allow you to seat out far but will get to the lands. Basically threw that out there in case some one stumbles along down the road that is loading for an AR. Sent from my SM-G960U...

    6x45 quickload

    Just as an FYI, Bud's Gunshop has 80gr Remington plated HP bullets for $7.50 a hundred. I bought some a month or two ago, they show up in Remington bags and are a bit tarnished, but an hour or so in corn cob cured that. They load well at mag length and shoot under an inch at 100. I just ordered...

    6x45 quickload

    I use 2200 with 55gr and get velocities more in line with 3500fps. I've tried more combinations with the 6x45, necked up 223 starline brass, then I've ever tried with any round. Going down the H380 rabbit hole this summer for fun. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    New rifle build

    I feel that it might be a bit much. I think I want to keep the bullet weight at 130gr or less, if I wanted more horsepower I'd build up a WSM or the like. That being said, the photo doesn't make it look it but that puts the beginning of the bearing surface right at the neck and shoulder...

    New rifle build

    Luckily, my father is a lifetime machinist. I had him turn a stagger feed Savage long action into a center feed for feeding from AICS style magazines. I'm not sure I would need longer than 2.8" though. What applications would you think the 3.0" would benefit? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    New rifle build

    6.5 Creed on the left set to 2.750" and a 243 on the right at 2.800". 130gr accubond both necked up with a KM mandrel. I think any case capacity I gain with the larger case is negated by the bullet in the powder column. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    What is your next dream rifle?

    A full custom 30-06. Classic cartridge, fully updated platform. In the 8lb range with optic, Manners stock, Kreiger 4 groove 10 twist, flush fit detachable mag. I've never purchased a custom action, so I would go that route. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Nosler RDF 70 grain in 223 Rem

    I shoot them in the plain 223 in a 9 twist at 2850 fps. I use a Wyatts DBM set up with the rifle so I can seat out to the lands. My remington has a ridiculously short throat, I put them within 0.010"of the lands and so far have made hits out to 450 without a problem. Sent from my SM-G960U...

    New rifle build

    I was excited for a minute about a stainless action trued up for just a bit more than the model 7 from PTG until I read how how the NSS actions are trued. They just true the action face and lap the lugs, which any good gunsmith would do while building a rifle. In my opinion, they are geared...

    I don't have any experience with his actions, but I have ordered other items from him before. Why do you ask? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    New rifle build

    I'll definitely look into these. I'm a bit concerned about brass availability for the 300 Savage, which was what had me pointing towards the 6.5 Creed. The Redding has my eye, basically an improved 270-08 with a slightly moved back shoulder. I have one piece of brass from a range find, with a...
