Congrats Brian, NGD (New Gun Day) is always a good day!! You also have enough time to work up a load before deer season!!

Brian I have been trying to talk myself out of buying one, lol!! Why don't you try them out first and let me know how good they are, LOL!!

My father in law has a pre64 model 70 featherweight chambered in 308. I have "laid claim" to it when he passes and he knows lol!

I have had a 30-06 for quite a while so I already was familiar 30 caliber. However to answer your question, I like the 308 more for some odd reason. 30-06 outperforms 308 but something about the 308 is just endearing to me.

I have only had two 308's. One was a Ruger American I bought for 150 at pawn shop and later sold to make room in the safe. So after I got a bigger safe (I know excellent problem solving skills) I decided I needed to have another 308 since I had all the reloading components. I bought a cheap...

If I shoot the barrel out on this Tikka I will re-barrel it with a 26" barrel. This rifle shoots extremely accurate just a bit slower than most 7 mags. I know the old saying holds true "It doesn't matter how fast you miss" but I like to get magnum speeds out of a magnum caliber.

I have tried Grand with my Tikka 7MM Rem Mag. I have not gotten the speeds you have but I have gotten the best velocity I have ever gotten out of my rifle. My tikka only has a 24 inch tube so I typically do not get the same velocities as others but I am very impressed with the speed and accuracy...

Yes Brian I have tried Magpro and gotten some great accuracy. The velocities have not been been as high in my rifle as I would have liked but great accuracy. I may try to load 3 rounds 1 grain below max with Magpro and 3 rounds 1 grain below max with Grand and see how they compare.

I had posted a while back about some issues with my magnetospeed chrono. Never could get it right so i went with the Garmin. That thing is SWEET! Love the simplicity and the bluetooth feature to send info to the phone. The rifle I shot tonight was a Tikka T3X in 7 Rem mag. I recently had this...

The more I read about the Garmin the more I like it!! i will try to change the spacing block and see if I have any luck managing to use the magnetospeed.

I have a magnetospeed sporter chronograph. When shooting today I got a bayo sen2 reading on the display. Has anyone ever had this happen and what was your solution?

I would say that your rifle likes that powder, that bullet, that seating depth, and it is obvious your rifle likes you too!!!! Nice work!!!

Has anyone tried a 7PRC with a lighter bullet like a 120 / 140 grain Nosler ballistic tip?

So my brother picked up a Browning X bolt with a recoil hawg brake in 7mmPRC. He was sighting it in today and I had to give it a try. He was shooting Hornady outfitter 160gr CX ammo. I pulled the trigger on the rifle and I swear the recoil felt like a a hot 6.5 creedmoor load. I expected a lot...

Thank you Sir!

I am shooting a Browning X bolt 22 inch tube Lapua brass CCI BR2 primer. 120 gr Barnes TTSX I am wanting to shoot Staball 6.5 and also Reloader 16. I have shot an initial load with both and had good looking results. Wanting to see quickload info so I have a little info on how far I can go...

I have plenty of 160gr Speer BTSP and 162gr ELD-X bullets that I am going to use. Going to try some initial loads with both and see which one looks better in the accuracy department and go from there.

Brian I am currently starting to work up a load using Magpro and the 7 Rem Mag myself. My reasoning is basically the same as yours, Magpro availability.

I have had luck with Reloader 23 in my 270.

My 308 likes CFE 223 (as does my 7-08) TAC and BL C2. I have gotten a killer load with BLC2 and 130 gr TTSX, sub MOA and 3180 fps.
