    6.5 Cutie, before the Creedmoor there was Barnes QT

    Would like to know more about this. Never heard of a 200 gr 264 or a 5.5 twist. The sectional density must be through the roof with that thing!

    Athlon 10x42 fixed power scope

    I know that they can be good and hold zero but one I had was 8" high at 100 yards one day unfortunately for no reason. The other one I was always having to tweak zero but in fairness that could have been the mounts. Loved them and wish someone would make a solid fixed power. SWFA scopes are...

    Federal’s 7mm Backcountry

    Time will tell one way or another. If this works and they make a 270 version I would be very interested.

    Athlon 10x42 fixed power scope

    I noticed that too. I guess they are just being accurate on where the reticle is even though it functionality won't make a difference. I moved on from my Leupold fixed powers since they wouldn't stay zeroed but would like to have at least one fixed power scope again. I believe Meopta makes an...

    Federal’s 7mm Backcountry

    Federal apparently has been working on this for 6 years, I'm sure they have figured out how to make this work. All the companies offering rifles have confidence in it too or they wouldn't have jumped on board It sounds like the reloading process will be a bit different from what we're used to...

    Athlon 10x42 fixed power scope

    Anyone try one of these yet? Thinking about trying one on my 260 Rem. I like the simplicity of a fixed power scope but they are hard to find these days. https://athlonoptics.com/product/talos-btr-gen2-10x42-aagr1-sfp-moa/

    Adding a 260 Remington to the safe

    The 129 gr Hornady is another good one. The 120 gr Ballistic Tip is a really accurate bullet and should be on the list. I bet almost any of the 130 gr bullets from any of the big makers will work awesome in a 9 twist. When I had a 1 in 9 twist 260 the shorter length 140's did fine too. My Tikka...

    Federal’s 7mm Backcountry

    It's an interesting concept. This has been years in the making so I'm sure they have tested for this. When the data is released we will find out what they recommend.

    Federal’s 7mm Backcountry

    Jim Harmer matched the 7 PRC shooting the same weight bullet using the 7 BC. The 7 PRC used a 26" barrel and the 7 BC a 16" barrel though. If this thing does what Federal claims it could very well obsolete a lot of newer rounds. It will burn 55-60 gr or powder and exceed rounds currently made...

    Federal’s 7mm Backcountry

    I would have thought the same but Ron Spomer and Joseph Von Benedickt have talked with Federal and it appears that it will be similar to rounds that burn about the same amount of powder like the 280 AI. Apparently Federal didn't know either when they started but that's what they have found.

    Coincidence Trudeau resigned the same day Trump certified?????

    Trudeau's approval rating is 16% still to high but unprecedented anywhere in the western world.

    Federal’s 7mm Backcountry

    They say it can be reloaded so we'll have to see if there are any special processes to do so. I probably won't get one but am going to be watching with interest the see how it goes.

    Adding a 260 Remington to the safe

    Beautiful little rifle congrats. Most of the Remington's had a 1 in 9 twist but there's still lots of bullets for you to use.

    Justin Trudeau Resignation?

    Gad Saad puts it this way and I would agree with him. I would add weak effeminate men to the list too of those who elected him.

    Coincidence Trudeau resigned the same day Trump certified?????

    Lots has happened since DJT was reelected world wide so it's definitely possible.

    Justin Trudeau Resignation?

    I would consider it. The trucker's convoy showed how useless our charter of rights actually is. They were able to get around it, illegally, but they still did. The bigger cities are like the bigger cities in the US and are liberal. The rest of the country is very conservative except Quebec...

    Fireforming Update- Ruger 375 brass

    Never forget how they got caught trying to force their employees to take the clot shots. They do indeed suck. They invented the 375 Ruger and should have the decency to still support it.

    Justin Trudeau Resignation?

    I don't want the Crime Minister to resign, he needs to face the people in an election and all of them can be turfed out. They all need prison time to be honest.

    Browning BLR- .308 or .358 Win

    The 358 will have the same contour barrel as the 308 so will have less steel. Other than that it's going to be the same. Lots of great 180-200 gr bullets will work well in the 358 and for 225's Sierra BTSP and the 225 gr Partition are awesome to use. You can use 250's but I don't think you will...
