Dr. Mike, are you the same person that has put videos of you shooting old rifles at long distances on YouTube?

It's not flashy, and won't skin or gut immediately what you're shooting, it'll just plain work! I think the guy you're referring to, I believe his name was Al Seiber, and he was an old WWII Navy vet. And he did load the his rounds .25 inches of shank on the bullet in the case. When properly...

I know that in Switzerland it is used a lot, but not quite sure exactly what it is they hunt there. I ordered a Swiss K31, and I know they are exceptionally accurate, and I'm crazy enough to use it for hunting. I have reloading dies for it, and will work up some loads for it, from the help of...

I have extensive use of the .243 Win, and have hunted gophers, on up to deer with it. I've used 80 gr. pills for the varmint sized critters......gophers, rockchucks, crows, porcupines, prairie dogs, and much more than memory serves. Now, I used 100 gr. pills for coyotes, antelope, whitetail...

Howdy jmak920! Glad you're here! Enjoy the Forums! There sure are a lot of people here to help whenever you need it.

I'm going to use my Remington 700 in .243 Win, or my Remington 760 in 6mm Remington, or my Savage 99 in .300 Savage (y)

WOW! No one has any appreciable experience with this cartridge?!? Guess I will be the first after I get my "new" old toy!

Anyone have any experience with the 7.5x55 round in the hunting field? Any opinions?

Is the 6x62 the 6mm-06 by any chance? I have been eyeing that one actually. Gives the same ballistics as the .240 Weatherby, or as Fotis says,"Bee!"

Holy Crap! Fotis! That's really nice groups you and your son got there. Stephan is a chip off the old block! He has a great teacher! Finally found the board you were talking about! LOL Did you go to our mutual friends range and get those amazing groups?!? Can't wait to go shooting and show...

I hear Fotis makes a killer lemon chicken! I would love to eat any of Fotis' viddles anytim. He is a top notch hunter, and I'm glad he makes a good guide too. Thank you for your suggestions on the 100 gr PT, I will most definitely use it.

Yeah.....he is like that! LOL

22" bbl! Hopefully the chamber won't be sloppy like some Remington 700's have been. I like IMR 4350, used it in a Ruger M77 in .25-06 pushing a 100 gr. Sierra Gameking to 3350 fps. That was one hell of a prairie dog vaporizer, and coyote buster! That was the last rifle I used when I was on the...

Thank you for the great intro Fotis! It's true, Fotis and I go way back! Not only is he a good friend of mine, but I can attest to his shooting abilities, his integrity as a hunter, and all around stand up man that he is. If Fotis suggests a load for your rifle, it's that he has already...

One my favorite all time rounds! I used to have an old 98 Brazilian Mauser with a 29" bbl that would shoot like a dream! I loaded my 7mm Mauser rounds to the 95 Mauser pressure levels, and I never felt I needed more oomph out of the ol war horse. My loads were with 140 gr. Bullets going around...

I'm definitely going to get RL 22 to load! You guys seem to really like it.

When people have shot elk, where did they put the bullet placement? Neck shot, or vitals? I never took my .243 elk hunting. I just didn't have the opportunity, not that I wouldn't take one with a .243, or 6mm.

Awesome! Thank you both for the input! I will add your suggestions to my recipes. I won'tbe hot rodding any loads, I like all my digits,limbs, and internal organs exaexactly where they are! LOL

Would anyone like to share their pet handloads for the 6mm Remington? I acquired a Remington 760 Gamemaster pump rifle, and I'm going to handload for it since the ammo lines are drying up.

Thanks for the heads up, will definitely do! I'm not a hotrodder, thankfully. I do have a factory crimp die I will be using as well. I do know that the round runs at 52000 cup, and will not be going over that pressure wise.
