    300 WM - long OAL

    What bullet are you using? If using a cup and core bullet, I would make the OAL long enough to fit in the magazine, and start at .010" off the lands. If its a Barnes or copper bullet, I would make the OAL length long enough to fit in the magazine, and start at .050" off the lands. Find a tune...

    Rationalizing all my loads

    I have been testing Sierras long ago, some with GameKing, Pro Hunter and MatchKings, and they do shoot.

    2026 Rifle Plans

    I'm waiting for my custom 6 BRA from Bat Machine, should be about a month away. Chose the Bat Machine MST 3 inch action, in case I like to go to the bigger 6mm or up to a 284 Winchester one day. Placed an order for a new barrel a few months ago and I received a new Bartlien barrel for my 6 BR in...

    Rationalizing all my loads

    I'm in the same boat where I have a ton of different powders and bullets, but have done tests over the years with each rifle and narrowed down on powder selections and bullets after finalizing most of the tests. I have settled mostly for Varget, H4895, H4350, H4831sc, H1000, RL15, RL22, RL26 and...

    Thank you xphunter ( Ernie )

    A package came from Fed Ex, it was no usual cardboard package, tapped on it and it was solid wooden crate, after opening it, packaged in foam was my new blue NEO-X I had ordered early last summer for F Class Open. It was sent to me by xphunter aka Ernie Bishop. Thank you Ernie!!! It's...

    Presses and Impressions

    I started with a RCBS RockChucker and then a Redding Boss. My next press would be a Co Ax, I like the free floating system.

    Did well in Pistol Competition today

    Nice shooting Guy. I have an exact color and grips as your Kimber. Mine is a .38 Super Stainless Target II, and a ways back I had changed the grips with a Crimson Trace laser grip due to my aging eyes. I still have the original grips in a box somewhere. I have done the same for my .45 Kimber...

    Getting the 7mm SAUM Ready for SA

    It would be nice to use a 7 SAUM with 180 Bergers for FClass. :love: Run with the big dogs.

    Getting the 7mm SAUM Ready for SA

    I understand why, H4350 is quite faster than the H8431sc in the shorter barrels giving better velocity and performance.

    Getting the 7mm SAUM Ready for SA

    Ernie, what powder are you using for the 6.5 x 284? Try the H4831sc if you haven't tried it, it plain shoots great in mine. The ABLR bullet was fussy in my 7 Mag when I tested it long ago, switched it to AB and Scirocco and never looked back. My 6.5 x 284 loves the 143 ELD-X and H4831sc. Wish...

    Getting the 7mm SAUM Ready for SA

    Excellent shooting Ernie. That is a more than an exceptional accurate load, especially with a Barnes. I would be smiling too.

    Springfield Armory Ronin 9mm w/Viridian green dot

    Excellent shooting. Sure is fun having new toys to play with at the range. I remember that brand name, Ronin. Guy had posted that he has one of those but in the .45 with the optics if not mistaken.

    LS Tractor

    No cab on mine either. It's easy running my International with the plow into the wind in a straight line for nearly a mile, and sucks when I'm heading back down the line on the next pass with the wind. All that dust isn't cool.

    Little range time 6.5 x 284 / 143 ELD-X

    My bet is H4831sc will be the magic powder for the 6.5 x 284

    Overnight bag

    Would make a great ammo and range bag. Nice work.

    Little range time 6.5 x 284 / 143 ELD-X

    Close to 3000 fps is fast. I never tried Retumbo in my 6.5 x 284. I think Retumbo may be a bit too slow for this caliber. H1000 / RL 26 is a step up on burn rate over the Retumbo, if you have these powder choices, maybe give it a try. H4831sc is my best powder for this caliber. What primers...

    Fun range time

    Hung out with my brother in law at the range yesterday to put in some pistol shooting on the loads I made for the .38 Super and .45 with the Holosuns. Winds were brisk and variable right to left and cloudy. Was a nice day out. At 50 yards, off the bench , top left of the bullseye was one of...
