+1 If I wonder whether I'm stepping on it too hard I'll pull several random cases from my chosen lot & fire them first when I go to the range. This allows me to see how the load performs under different conditions and to see how primer pockets hold up. After 4x loaded w/o loose pockets I know...

Well I didn't want to say it in such a way as to push people their way, but yeah... Keeping em a secret is selfish; more for me. :twisted: As long as those .277 ABLRs are lasting I can see why Scotty can be more generous than me ;) .

I think if you loosen up the screws on your scope mounts you'll see why SPS sucks. Thank me later.

If you like the military shooting sling format the Brownells Latigo is, as mentioned previously, a great way to go. I have a couple of the 1907s on heavier varmint rifles that often wear bipods because, while I love Col Whelen's shooting method they're on the heavy side for a big game rifle...

I have loved the ACOGs I've used on friends' rifles, but have a 3200 2-7x32mm w/ firefly reticle on mine. Fast as can be at 2x and great at distance.

There is no such thing. Sell em in lots on Gunbroker & use funds to buy a 30-06 ;) .

Yep I've made 257 Rob brass out of both 6mm Rem & 7x57. When necking up cases of unknown origin I anneal first.

This has become my way of thinking too, although I've never had bad luck w/ inexpensive barrels. My 257 AI, my first custom, has a cheapo Adams & Bennett F34 contour CM from MidwayUSA and shoots lights out! Midway has since gone to Green Mtn but I haven't heard reviews.

Try a Savage short or old intermediate action. Trigger is easy to tweak, rebarrel is easy to DIY, and for $150 you can put on a new factory take-off & aftermarket nut/recoil lug. With their floating bolt head it isn't hard to get em shooting, and while its apart you can use Brownells aerosol...

Wow that's incredible; I hear an awful lot of good things about those. I'd love to see pictures also.

+1 If I were running a 300 Weatherby that & the 168 gr TTSX would get worked over hard; Nosler made a great call designing these for a lower minimum velocity than the Barnes & Hornady. Promising looking group there Scotty.

Believe me Yoda I understand the NEED to tinker! Don't remember if anyone mentioned it, but check out the bullet testing sub-section of the reloading board. Good info there! Welcome too... JD & I are Fudgies from GR but love yer neck of the woods!

4 things: 1) That Barnes will likely shoot well with a long jump to the lands 2) I have a Stevens 200 take-off tube on a Savage that has a much shorter throat than that; you may have a tube cut by an old reamer vs mine maybe cut by a new? 3) What does your magazine allow for maximum cartridge...

If you get to do post-mort there can't be too much wrong with what you're doing. I tend to believe that we have a weight retention obsession when it comes to whitetail and shy away from premiums in favor of bullets with more "pop" particularly when behind the shoulder shots are favored. For...

Gonna try it w/ 100s in my 257 AI & 168 NCCs in my 7-08 on weds! Might even get to try RL23 in the 280 AI?

Dang I thought that Guy had crazy bullets; between the two of you you could get through at least a few more Obama reelections! (y) I've got buckets of 223 from when I used to take my boys to local gun Clubs & dumpster dive; never imagined I'd need it all (since I had no desire for an AR!)...

IMHO monos are useful when impact speeds are north of 3k; if I use them in standard cartridges I run light for caliber projectiles to get that speed (130 TTSXs in the 06 & 90 GMXs in 257 AI). You're right to go to another bullet and made a great choice, though I've never found a need for any...

Dang man never thought much of the Nosler rifles cuz I'm not big on synthetic but that thing is GORGEOUS! Very, very nice looking rifle & promising-looking accuracy too. See ya tomorrow for lunch my friend, Eric
