That's probably a Christensen thing, not a cartridge thing. My wife has a 300 WSM in a Ridgeline that does the exact same thing no matter how lite I load it or what ammo I use. I've shot roughly a box of ammo in 3 different visits out of a Weatherby Alpine in 7BC with no bolt or primer issues.

Hunting season is off and rifle is right around the corner for us. The snow has already started flying and I know once hunting season ends... that cabin fever is going to set in. I want to try a rifle build on an odd ball caliber this year. Problem is, I'm going to be limited on mating the...

If you have any of Murphy's oil or their saddle soap. You have to work it in over multiple applications, but it works wonders.

I appreciate the input for sure. When I first started with the 6.5 PRC back in late 19 or early 20 the ELD-X and M ruled the space.. So taht is the route I went, Precision Hunter in ELD-X was what I first used. I hands down hate both of those bullets haha. I've gotten to a point lately that I...

Thank you much for the detail Dr Mike!

I use an iPad in my reloading room, mostly because of space. I may have to get a laptop or Microsoft Surface Pro for in there.

Fantastic Buck! Nice work

When you have time, can you run it for N160 and N565 as well? Only change is the bullet would be a Nosler Ballistic Tip instead of an AB. What is everyone's thoughts on QL compared to Gordon's Reloading Tool and can you get either on an iPad?

I've been hearing so many good things about that fusion tipped round in multiple calibers. I'm very curious on it now.

I buy mine from Eurooptics or Midway.. at times precision reloading will have deals and I'll buy from them too. What I like best about it, is how consist it has been after a number of reloads. I have a lot for the 7mm-08 that has been reloaded 13 times and hasn't needed annealed. Neck...

My wife uses a Milwaukee vest. I personally have never used any of them but she gets cold easy. She loves that thing. We bough an extra battery pack, when we do an all day sit, somewhere around early afternoon (2-3) she swaps the battery out to get the last few hours in. It goes 3 different...

Fantastic buck! You guys are in a good area. We switched over from Raven to Ten Point for my wife a couple years back. Hard to say one over the other. It’s crazy what those crossbows can do compared to my regular ol bow haha 😆

That’s a great buck, congratulations to her!!

It may be worth your time trying Peterson out. Comes annealed and has been great for me. It’s my go to brass now.

I really like Peterson, Lapua is what I used for years. I have some guns with nosler or adg too. If those aren't available I have bought Starline but didn't keep it (gave it to my cousin). I seen noticeable differences in my speed and POI when using my load developed with ADG at the time...

I have been on the hunt for these bullets in 155g... super hard to find all the sudden. Do you guys maybe know a source?

I am not a fan of this chrono and it could be part of your issue. Any large metal pieces around when you were shooting? How long has it been since you updated the firmware on it? I know people have success and know the nuances of setting it up, but I got to a point I didn't trust mine anymore...

Brass absolutely is a factor in your FPS and pressure. So many factors go into velocities. Most people I see chasing velocity in load development have lost site of the loads purpose and the most important factor, POI. If you aren't seeing pressure signs, it's grouping like it should, and...

I love the .284 calibers and my 7mag is one of my favorites! My go to is a a Tikka 7mm and it hands down likes N160 or N165 the best. Most of my groups have bullets touching. I have 175g ABLR using H1000 or H4350 150g AB's using N165 150g Silvertip Ballistic and 150g Nosler Hunting...

What scope did you mount and how is it mounted. What tool did you use to torque it all down and any loctite? If you have no break, this is a gun you must make sure everything is properly torqued. While some don’t like mono bullets, typically it’s not a spread like you are describing. It...
