Hey Doc, can I get some figures for the Hornady 129sp, the 130 NAB and the 140 NBT please? Thank you. BTW, I got my GreTan firing pin replacement (speed-lock) and ordered a nice "made for Remington" by HS Precision off Ebay replacement synthetic stock. I decided not to put good money into a...
I got my 118 HHT sample pack in last week, along with a box of ammo I ordered that has the 140 Nosler RDF(?) in 1x fired Winchester cases. Today the Lapua Scenar L 120 OTM came in. Man! They look slick! I also ordered a GreTan FP Assembly for the rifle.
Just got this new to me caliber (never owned one, ever) and I plan on starting with the Hammer 118 HHT ( 120) and the 120 Scenar. If neither are in the Data, please get as close as you can for 64K? As stated many times, I may not "get there" but I might! :) Thanks.
Couldn't resist it...another local AD had a Remington 700 BDL SS in .264WM (26") and a high dollar Leupold. He wanted $1400 for the combo. He also claimed the scope was a $700 value. Sooo...I offered him $700 for the bare rifle. He took it! Seems he was trying to sell his House and had ran into...
You "know me like a book Doc!" lol I may not get all the way to the top pressure listed, but I can get a whole closer than a stinking 51 psi/cup/whatever! ha/ Thank you, I am thinking that my 25" 7x57 will give me a "stretched string" with this weight out to 350 or so. Last 120's I shot at 3200...
At least it didn't blow it off the end of your barrel and ruin it! ha That's alot of powder/bullets down the drain, BUT you now know what to look for, and you got all that trigger time! Rejoice! :)
Rifles still at the Smith's, the MK V basically done, re-bedded, reamed to the Ackley. Kimber still waiting on its Trigger Tech and new, slender muzzle brake. It's having the Sightron Big Sky 3x12x42 mounted. I have gathered up for it some 154 TTH and some 155 Scenars for first loads. For CnC...
I looked in Bob's book, and I was wrong! On page 140 of "Game Loads and Practical Ballistics for the American Hunter" is a picture of his record book caribou, his Mashburn Super Mag and his load, a 160 NPT going 3240! I was so certain it was 3300! I guess I got that somewhere years back when...
Love the Bergara, my preference has always been the Hunter model. Two 300WMs. 30-06, 6.5 Creedmoor and a .270. Put TTs in most, hd "skim bedding" done, that's it. Just the right balance/weight for me, I want nothing heavier though.
I guess I was thinking of the 7mm PRC as being comparable to the Mashburn, glad I was wrong. Only reason I can see to own a 7mm PRC is to shoot the long, 180+ heavies, which I don't have confidence in their "up close/Timber shots" ability to hold up. I'm am way beyond OCD on wanting tough...
Sonny sent me a 1986 article by Bob himself on the Mashburn. I really believe, in his book with pictures, he sudstituted the 3300/160 with his 3300/140. He normally got 3200+/160. Well, I for sure got 3300+ in the 7mm STW and in that 7mm RUM, but neither shot the 160 consistently. I also just...
I am for sure BlackRam! ha I just can't make myself "accumulate". I feel OK with a handful of special rifles, but if I want a new/different one, I will sell (or sometimes pass it on to my SIL for my grand daughter's education ) at 14 she doesn't hunt, smothering/fearful daughter of mine as...
Sounds like a wonderful rifle you have! I had hoped to get that kind of performance from my Mod 70 7mm STW. My very first 7mm STW was in a Sendero. Back in mid 90's. I had intended to use only the 140s in it. Once I had it all set up and a good load worked up with the 140 NBT, I felt the need to...
Admittedly, that 28 Nosler intrigues me, however just not a LRH. I like to snoop n poop around the edges of dark timber and aspens. Even up on the ridges, 250 has been my longest shot. I average 171 yds on the four elk I've shot and only 75yds on all the mule deer I've taken, ha. I on purpose...
