    9.3x62 Mauser

    Mine wears a 24" barrel. With the high expansion ratio of the cartridge to bore volume, I don't that you will see a significant impact going from a 24" to a 22" barrel.

    6mm Remington, switching powders

    I totally understand your powder situation, but in some ways it's worse to be short projectiles. In my rifles I have found that IMR 4451, RL-23, and IMR 7828 all perform well from both the accuracy and velocity perspective with 90-100 grain bullets. 7828 really surprised me with 100 grain...

    How many 338 Federal shooters here?

    I have a collection of M88s myself, and had one of the 308 rifles picked out to have JES rebore it to 358. Then magic happened as I was able to purchase a nice pre-64 358 at well below market price. The 308 rifle went into storage and I didn't think much of it until the 338 Federal was announced...

    How many 338 Federal shooters here?

    One has recently come into my possession and has made a couple range trips. No earth shattering results as yet, but the 210 NPAR is looking promising. It looks like Leverevolution is going to generate the highest velocities and Varget is in the lead for accuracy. In the old days a big bore...

    Rifle building advice

    If you are truly looking for a long range rifle, visit a benchrest match and see who is building the winning rifles. That's what I did and the outcome was well worth the effort.

    280 Ackley Quickload request...for a my first ever build....

    Both of my 280 AI are built on 8 twist barrels and at this point in time I wouldn't even consider a 9 twist barrel. I use 160 NAB and RL-23 in mine.

    QuickLoad questions thread...

    I have a stash of these bullets and would like to try them in my 45/70 double rifle that has a MAP of 32k psi. The barrel length is 24", the COL would be 2.800", and the max loading density would be 102%. Much appreciated.

    6mm ARC by Hornady

    Have an ARs in 223, 224 Valkyrie, 6mm AR, 6.5 Grendel, 6.8SPC, 30 RAR, 7.62x39, 350 Legend, & 458 SOCOM. My 6.5G AR delivers better accuracy than my factory CZ527 bolt gun and runs flawlessly. I really wanted my 6.8SPC to perform with the Barnes 95 gr. TTSX pushed by AA2200, functioning is...

    Swap for or buy a few of the .264" bullets.

    Have some 100 gr. Partitions and 120 Speer Hot Core bullets if you are still looking. John

    6mm ARC by Hornady

    I have a couple rifles in 6mmAR(aka 6mm Grendel) and find the tweaking of the case design to create a "new" cartridge amusing. I think they just wanted to claim something as their own, rather than offer a tangible improvement. That said, it's a much better choice than the 6.8SPC for the AR...

    JES rebore 35 Whelen

    JES is just down the road from me and have stopped into his shop for a chat about a project. Super nice guy and his work is impeccable.

    25-06 110 AB IMR4831 Book load

    If you can find RL-25, it's magic in my 25-05 rifles with both the 110 AB and the 115 BT. 3150 fps across the screens can be achieved from a 24" barrel and has punched 1" 5 shot groups at 200 yards on multiple trips to the range.
