I'm not so sure that fence is adequate for such a beast!

.1g seems really good to me for thrown charges from a progressive. I'd be more than happy with it.

A nice accurate bolt action 22 LR is also a great cheap training tool. I shoot a lot through my CZ457 out to 300, and occasionally 4-500. Keeps me sharp with bench manners and breathing/follow through technique. Can't go wrong with a Tikka. I would opt for one in an 8 twist so you can shoot...

It's an 8 twist. I only intended to shoot 75-80g bullets through it, and the occasional 53 vmax for splat factor. Since I'd be pushing the 75-80s around the 3K fps area with the 28" Bartlein, I figured an 8 twist would be more than adequate. Should've still probably went 7.5 but too late now...

$20 RCBS stuck case remover is all you need. I stuck a 223 case in my redding die a few months back. Got it out in 5 minutes with no harm to the die.

Wanted to find a spot to shoot 1K at the range just a couple miles from my house. Typically can only get out to 500. I played around with onx maps and line distance and came up with a spot that would allow 1040 or so. Time to load the 4Runner up with the gear and head down the road. I got to the...

That'll do! 6 BRs are just the easy button. I was always under the impression that a total neck clearance of up to .008" was ok. I think my 223 and 6 Creed are around .006" and my 7-300 around .004" I haven't seen any issues with either.

Brux makes a nice barrel. I've got one on my 6 Creed and have no complaints.

That's the best group I've fired with that 7/08 load. It's never been over .75" It is a little warm though, so I'd definitely work up to it. But that's where this rifle seems to likes it. I've been thinking about trying the 150g ELDX in it with H4350. I have two 8# jugs of H4350 and only 2# of...

Finally got a decent break from the heat and wind this morning so loaded up the 4Runner and took the wife's Kimber 7/08 with a freshly mounted Vari X III 6.5-20x Leupold and the new CVA 45-70 with a fresh DNZ mount and a Burris Fullfield E1 4-14x. Ammo for the 7/08 was handloaded 150g NBTs over...

Good to see prices coming back down on primers. I was able to snag a few bricks of CCI400s at bimart for $60/brick and Rem 7.5s for $75/brick. Haven't seen those prices in a long time. Still spendy, but beats $100+

I like it! Can't shoot what you can't see! Got a box of 160g TMKs I was thinking about loading up and seeing what they can do for some LR steel.

Thanks Jim! If we didn't hunt such wide open spaces for deer and elk, the 2.5-8x would be the obvious choice, I agree 100%. I went back and forth between the 3.5-10x, 4.5-14x and the 6.5-20x for a few days. I've always been a fan of the 20x variables out here, with 6x still being low enough for...

It's been a while since I've shot, or done anything with the wife's Kimber lightweight 7/08. Bought this for her as an all around rifle for deer and elk about 8 years ago. Nathan added one of his 4 port brakes to tame the recoil from a 7# scoped rifle. At the time just to get her started I threw...

That is a massive Tom! They're still the only animal in the woods that scare me...I've ever only seen a glimpse of one on a ridge before sunrise up N Fork Umatilla. I'm sure many more have seen me!

Out to normal hunting ranges, I wouldn't even worry about it. The difference is negligible on big game.

Sounds good. I'll just keep her at the lever loads then!

Got the Burris 4-14x mounted up in some leupold rings. If I was a betting man, I'd say the factory picatinny rail on this is going to be the weak link. It's pretty cheesy, and to be honest these Leupold rings aren't a whole lot better...I got everything degreased and torqued to specs, so we'll...

Great video! Always fun to watch those LR pistols in action. Very good stuff!

I would go 7/08 since I'm a big fan of 7mms. They're accurate, easy on the shoulder, and have high BCs and SDs which all translates to good things downrange on targets and big game. Why I got the wife one, so I could play with it haha.
