I don't know where all you've looked but I checked the Hodgdon Annual Manual and the Sierra manual but neither shows that bullet weight as being compatible with StaBall 6.5. Hodgdon first shows it with a 142 Sierra Matchking. I don't have QuickLoad so I can't look there for you. Ron

They also have them in 6.5mm. 7mm, and 270 sizes and weights Ron

This is the first time I've had to return anything to them for service. However, several years ago I bought a used scope in a pawn shop. It had no box or accessories so I emailed Vortex, explained the situation, and asked if it were possible to buy the lense covers. They replied they would be...

I had a Vortex Ranger 1300 rangefinder that I bought new and had used for many years in all conditions. It was a great unit and I was extremely happy with it. However, when I was putting my gear together and checking it over in preparation for our early antlerless season, I discovered the...

I didn't shoot any deer with them (Accubonds were more accurate in my rifle) but I loaded and shot some for groups. They weren't terrible, just not the best. Ron

I wouldn't be too worried about a speed limit as far as bullet integrity is concerned. If you were planning to shoot out a ways you would need to be aware the round nose design won't fly nearly was well as pointed/tipped bullets. However, if you're talking about 100-150 yds, find an accurate...

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments and information. I loaded up some test rounds using the Sierra 107 hpbts and RL-16 last night. Hoping the weather cooperates so I can try them out this weekend. Ron

For anyone interested, Natchez lists this ammo available in several calibers for $8 less per box than Midway. Ron

This past weekend I picked up two rifles, one sorta planned, the other not at all. On Friday, I was off for hunting and after I killed my doe and took it to the processors, my oldest stepson and I stopped at a gunshop to look around. I found as Savage Hog Hunter .308 and ended up buying it. I...

This was the opening day of Missouri's early antlerless season. It's extraordinarily warm for this time of year but was in the low 50's about 0600. I got to the stand and didn't see or hear anything except squirrels and birds until right at 0800 when two does appeared. They were the same size...

I stopped at the Sierra outlet store yesterday and they had some of these on the availability list. First time I've seen them in a very long time. So, if anyone has been looking for some, check with your favorite distributors/ store because they should be appearing sometime soon. Ron

I appreciate your offer, but I didn't buy the rifle. I elected to stay with my PRCs. Ron

Speaking strictly for me, and based on my collecting habits, I think it's hard to have too many 308s. It was the caliber I started with and I have more of those than anything else. I have two 788s, a 308 and a 30-30. I think you'll be happy with your find. 788s have a reputation for being...

Not trying to hijack your thread, 338, but Sierra has apparently made a batch of their 225 SBTs, too. I was at their store the other day and they had some on their seconds list. First I've seen of these, or the Accubonds, in years. Ron

Saturday morning I went to the range to verify some zeroes for a competition I'm in this coming weekend. My 17 year old grandson went with me. He's had a little experience several years ago shooting a 22 rifle but some family issues interfered and he didn't stay with it. The previous night he'd...

26, I'm a Tikka freak and own 20ish in various models and calibers. I have only had one lemon in all the ones I own/have owned and like the fact it's not hard to find a load that's good to great with little effort. My CTR in 6.5CM is my favorite because it shoots any ammo I've tried into...

Or, you could just tell me what the letters are(duh moment on my end). Ron

On the left side of the barrel, just in front of the receiver, there should be 2 or 3 letters stamped. The first will establish the month it was made and the second 1 or 2 will define the year. You can find charts explaining the code on the net (type in Remington manufacture codes) or if you...

Last Monday my wife and I took a road trip to Scheels. We weren't looking for anything, just getting out of the house. I always head for the guns and she joins me there later. On this occasion I found a Browning Hells Canyon in 6.5 Creedmoor topped with a Leupold Freedom 4-12x40. The scope...

My wife and I went to Scheels this past Monday. In the Cafe there they had made a memorial honoring those who died in the service of our country and those who are MIA. Scheels is my first choice of sporting goods retailers and gestures like this only solidifies that. No attempt to sell...
