Ive been an aught 8 fan for a long time but only an owner of one for the past 5-6 yrs. I find them quite handy in the somewhat tight confines of a blind and really handy in a ladder or climbing stand. The milder recoil and bullet availability make these rifles just about perfect for most of the...

I have a Diamondback on my Muzzleloader. As already noted, they are decent scopes for the money. Glass is clear, sharp and they track & hold zero. They do just fine for my hunting style with a muzzleloader.

I have tried a good many different sabots in my CVA Optima V2 LR. What I found to work the best for me were the Harvester Short Black sabots. I tried the Harvester Crush Rib sabots and accuracy suffered. I have some Crush Rib sabots left over. If you would like to have them, send me a PM with...

Never tried any 4350 in my aught 8. Ive used Varget, H414, IMR 4895 and Big Game. All have worked very well. Im currently working on a Big Game powder load with a 139 gr SST that is showing promise. Ive got 10-12 more loaded up to hopefully get to the range Saturday and prove previous results...

Where is here? That would be Upstate SC. I love those SST's. My 280 shoots them into half inch groups as well.

Yes sir, 100 yds. I am trying to put together a 139 SST load for my 7-08. I'll be loading a few more and see if I can duplicate my previous results. Its been really nice in my neck of the woods lately. Hate to rub it in but it's suppose to be 68-74 degrees most of all next week. The last...

Just a plain ol Ruger American with a Meopta Meopro, 3-9×40

The "majority" was from those I talked with. Your mileage may vary tho. Isn't it grand that we have choices and can find combo's that work the best in our rifle... Carry on friend.

7 aught 8 rifle and yes, a Winchester magnum primer to get the Big Game powder moving. I know that a magnum primer in the 7 08 goes against conventional thinking. Magnum primers may not be useful or needed in a lot of recipes, but talking with people that use Magnum primers with Big Game in...

Instead of buying 7-08 brass I took some of my many 308 brass and necked them down. Wall neck thickness came in at about 12-13 thou, loaded case neck diameter came in around .314-.315.

Since it's been around 65-68 degrees the past few days and looking like a little warmer in the coming days I got to the range today to test a few loads. This is looking like it might be the one.

Here's the first "standard" large rifle primers I have seen in many months. 89 dollars per 1000

Nothing more than another gun grabbing attempt by the snowflake liberals that think picking up a turd by the clean end is possible. If by some chance this lunacy gains traction in the state of Washington, you can rest assured the vultures, (insurance companies) will "play ball" in the state...

There's no doubt that the Alliant powders were nonexistent for quite a while and they may still be quite scarce in some places but in my area it kind of ebbs and flows. Right now, some are available but as noted earlier, it's way too expensive for my taste considering I have powders that work...

What's this talk of these powders being out of production? Ive been seeing some of the Reloder series showing up at my local shop. Ive seen RL22, 15.5, 19, 16,. However, it's not been cheap tho. I use to really like the RL series of powders, especially RL16, but since they were virtually...

I concur, I have some Nosler 308 brass that the weight variation between cases is 6-7 grs. Like you, their brass is LOW on my list

I like RL-16 and it works very well in my 7 oh 8 with 140 Sierra GK's. Speed is in the low 28 hundreds and accuracy is oh so fine. However, in my rifle it really doesn't do anything that Varget or IMR 4895 won't do and I have plenty of the aforementioned on hand. With my stash of powder I won't...

Say it ain't so my friend. Another birthday, they sure do roll around quick. However, thank the Lord that he's allowed you to see another year. Happy Birthday

Yep, magnums they are. Makes them even more of a "hens tooth" Back in Trumps first go 'round I started buying primers and powder. I have enough of both to last me the rest of my life. Big Game, IMR-7828, Varget, IMR-4895, IMR-4831, H414, RL-22. The only powder I wished I had was RL-16. I have...
