I'm not sure if they still hunt whitetail deer with dogs , or not . North Carolina did allow this .

my first thought is , do you need the bolt release ? most factory 700's need the bolt release .

if the fired brass case is not extracting after being fired , your powder charge sounds to be too high . this can be caused by numerous things , but most likely too much powder . if the primer is falling out of a fired brass case , the powder charge is too high for sure . with you having both...

very nice Dan . I have a 4 x 8 utility trailer , I was going to do something similar , but not near this big . I was going to build my blind so I could lift it off the trailer during the summer months , and use the trailer . I thought it would be nice to have a portable blind , and able to...

years ago , I used to clean my bolt / firing pin assembly , and put it together completely dry . I often thought about rust forming . now I finishing cleaning by rinsing with cigarette lighter fluid . according to jewell trigger , lighter fluid has a slight lubricant to it , and doesn't hold...

not always . in my 1911 , 45 acp I pushed a 185gr LSWC over halfway through the bbl with a win LP , non mag primer . this bullet was crimped too . in my 338 lapua , a 215M primer did not move the bullet . this bullet was graphite lubed before seating . the brass had .002 neck tension ...

my grandson shoots very well from a deathgrip tripod . he does good to 200 yards standing and 300 yards sitting , no other support under an elbow or anything . I'll take it with me , if I go back to Kansas hunting .

can you weigh them ? maybe missing powder . just a guess

a lot of powders used in factory ammo, is not available to the public .

I look at this stuff as, just one more thing to go wrong .

in reduced loads I pick light for caliber bullets . I like bullets with more frangible construction in reduced loads . H4895 is a very good powder for reduced loads . I've posted some of my reduced load work on the forum .

2.800 is the SAAMI spec for the 7mm-08 COAL . pick your bullet , then find the lands and seat the bullet .010 - .020 shorter as a starting point . if that length ammo fits the magazine box . if it doesn't fit , load to magazine length minus .010 , for easy feeding , and start there . I like...

find the lands and seat the bullet .010 - .020 shorter as a starting point . if that length ammo fits the magazine box . if it doesn't fit , load to magazine length minus .010 , for easy feeding , and start there . it's early for me , but I don't think your numbers are correct . .427...

you could run your info in a calculator and see what it gives for corrections . I like JBM . https://jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj-5.1.cgi

velocity affects the bullets BC . as velocity drops so does the BC . I've never used strelok . in the strelok ; is there a way to true the BC ? are you using the G7 BC numbers ? did you get a good velocity from a chronograph ? how did you pick the G7 BC number ? if you're using the...

I've never tried it , but I've read that a " krazy Kloth " will just about wipe the brass case clean with zero effort .

I have a bunch of reloading info on this forum on the 260 . there is 3 threads and the info is scattered about on the three of them . I think I posted the links to #2 and 3 at the beginning of the first thread . there might be some info in these to help you . for hunting with this rifle...

nice pics guys .

RIP , Mr Nosler , your bullets sure made a mark on the industry . thanks for posting this JD .

pmelancon1984 I agree , if the sizing die is set to make firm contact , at the top of the stroke , without a fired brass case , it should be making firm contact , with a fired brass case , at the top of the stroke . if it's not it usually is a lube problem . I'm back to using a lube pad...
