Thank you for the pictures. I felt like I was right there, just warmer! Love those dogs and their expressions. EE2

Great to hear. Just had the feeling you knew something else was going on. Hope that M48 is throwing groups now! EE2

Your Win Coyote makes me smile. My son got one in 7mmWSM after he was injured. I asked him why so heavy. He said "I don't have to carry it!". It is very accurate. I checkered that laminated stock and wore out four cutters on those glue layers - that is hard stuff! EE2

Well, you could do a .358 Win AI and be a pioneer! Always wondered what that would be like. The 9.3 x 62 (if it fits) is gaining popularity on the big side. If you have no 6.5 x 55, that needs corrected :grin: EE2

Back to the OP's questions ---- 1. Yes 2. Walker's Game Ear Ultimate Power Muff Quads 3. My son's .300 Wby has a brake, and I hunt with him, and we go to the range together. I just hit the magic 70 year milestone, and have a lifetime of outdoor experience, both shooting, working, and...

Well Derek, I hope you get it sorted out. As you have no previous experience returning a rifle to Nosler, I would hope you follow up on that - instead of assuming the negative. The advice from the most knowledgeable people on here has been to let them work on it. Like to know what you decide. EE2

Ridgerunner665 said "I've decided it'll make it easier to tell how many times a piece of brass has been fired." I like that thought! You might be onto something right there. :grin: Or you can load them so they align the same every time - which some of the benchrest crowd do anyway, I...

I really like my Bug Buster UTG scope. Parallax settings for air rifle distances help a lot.

I think I saw something like that in an old Jack O'Connor book, used in Africa when people had zero confidence in scopes holding up on dangerous game rifles. Stout enough, return to zero, all that. Or I just imagined it - YMMV. :grin:

They do appeal to different people for their own reasons, sort of like you mentioned - Lego-ness, maybe a .410 barrel, etc. There was a lot of hype and they were promoted heavily on TV by Jim Shockey, Greg Ritz, & Larry Weishun. The H&R Handi-Rifle was the only other rifle out there which...

Pretty sure I've said this before, but one of the privileges of my advanced years is I get to repeat myself. (Ask DrMike!). I shot a true 7mm/ought SIX for years and used it successfully on elk. Many elk. Then I got a chronograph and tested my standard load - 2795 average w/139 Hornady. Or, you...

Flaig's was THE mail-order place in the mid 60's. I still have one of those 7mm barrels, an "Ace" trigger shoe, and several other little items. They advertised regularly in the American Rifleman. That barrel, and I think it is Douglas manufacture, still shoots very well. EE2

+1 on what Scotty said. That Nosler data is with a 6" longer barrel. I notice that the QL data for IMR 4895 is very close to your results, and he did run it for a 20" barrel. FWIW, almost every time I have tried to achieve someone's published max velocity, I have ended up backing off a little -...

I guess this means Scotty was right. Again. (y) EE2

Sort of like this, but not exactly either....https://graco-corp.com/product-category ... utt-plate/ EE2

There used to be some contraptions like that used by .22 rimfire position match shooters. Wanting to position it best for the changes in shoulder coming from prone on up. Except that doesn't look like it. Al Freeland marketed some of them way back when. They would adjust left/right and up/down...

Guy, Thanks for the explanation and reply. TackDriver did explain the test really well, and also his conclusion about the ELD-Match and whether it was appropriate for game - not. I can see where, like with some of the A-max's and Bergers, if it is the most accurate at distance and has great...

Please someone explain - what is the logic behind ever using match bullets on game animals? I must be missing something. I'm not trying to flame the OP or anyone, just truly curious. EE2

Way back when I was a highschooler and beginning handloader, the local fox farm was paying premium prices for Wyoming jackrabbits. I was given a big bagful of the old Remington 175 grain 7mm roundnose bullets for loading in my 7x57 Mauser. Perfect!! :grin:

I get a kick out of the local GS guys who have minimal powder knowledge. I was looking for IMR 4895 for a specific reason - guys said "we don't carry it because it isn't temperature stable" - yeah, right. Where it's 20 degrees out while we're speaking and rarely gets over 90 F in the summer...
