Last night I signed up for an IBS style shoot here local. 3/6 at 9am. I've decided to use my 7 mag for this shoot since it's heavy, long barrel, good optic and I think this will give me some practice for longer rangers. Be good to meet some local guys doing these shoots as well.
I have...
I've shot it at paper with a 7mm Backcountry, 7 mag, 6.5 prc and they shoot amazing. I wish I could find the raw bullet for reloading. I've heard rumor but can't confirm the fusion tipped and the core lokt tipped are the same bullet. Be interesting if that is the case. I grabbed a box of...
Weatherby Alpine CT in 7mm Backcountry is 5.82lbs. Apparently the pressures are reached by changing the traditional brass cartridge to a top secret cartridge and some slight modifications to the rifle themselves.
That is a good point, what is this going to do to suppressors. A box of 7mm Backcountry Federal Fusion Tipped at my LFS is $61 USD. I do think it will be interesting to see if we are ever able to load the case they use. I believe they are steel or a steel make up. What it would take to be...
I understand where you are coming from, and I agree that it won't take over and change over night. I would just say that there was a time 60k was unheard of, or smokeless powder and everyone thought about their current equipment in it's state and how it would handle the new limits that have...
Hello,
I've got a good one my Dad got me into last week. A friend of his bought a new rifle (Ruger American) in .270 and Dad offered me up to reload some rounds for his buddy. I won't have the gun here to test. I did get a measurement on the lands using a modified case and whatever bullet my...
This thread is great, you guys have some really nice reloading rooms. When we moved to our new house my new reloading room became half the size it use to be and is in a temp. set up if you will, until I can do something more permanent.
I think us reloaders will have a lot to learn when these newer high pressure bullets start hitting our AOO. There is no doubt that if this concept takes off and is successful everyone will follow suit, just like they did with the 60'ish thousand pressure mark way back in the day.
I've never not seen it. 300 win mag, 7mm mag, and started my daughter with them in a 7mm-08 factory critical lite rounds. They come apart and ruin so much meat. My cousin still runs them in his sons gun and they are super happy, going on roughly 5 years of using this bullet exclusively for...
Best Gun 360
Here is what I currently have, although Grice just got one in that I think I may switch over. It has more options for positioning your guns. I don't recall the name. If I switch over, i'll be sure to share.
I have the Chargemaster Supreme and it's fine for what I do. I have looked at the MatchMaster, but to Jimbires point, if I was going to spend the money on the Matchmaster I would go with the tried and true, proven platforms like the AutoTrickler, or my #1 choice the Supertrickler that are in...
Appreciate the input fellas. I’m going to meet him tomorrow on my way home from the Penn State wrestling match and Kay eyes on it. I really wish I knew more about checking that action lock up. I’m going to do some research on that today between meetings.
If you guys think it’s a take down, it...
This really helps, if I can mod a 30/30 reload that may be worth my time. In this consition it’s more about shooting the gun than having it in my collection.
