    6.5-284 Norma with 140 PT and Retumbo?

    Anyone shooting Retumbo in their 6.5-284? I see people posting on sites about it, but never found a listed powder range. I have been using RL-19 per the Nosler data with good results, but never hurts to play around. Thanks

    Christmas Binos,

    Old post, but my input. I have had a pair of Zeiss 10x42 HD. Pros: I really like the glass. Great warranty, although work on these is done in Germany and takes longer Cons: when using a chest rig to carry them, the focal point changes after a few minutes of hiking. You have to re-focus each...

    Guide gun plan

    Had a Marlin 45-70 guide gun for years. Was a nice rifle, but it but was never quite right. Tried 2.5 X scout scope, tried 2-7 rifle scope, already had XS sights, but never was all I wanted it to be . Found a local deal on another guide gun and bought it. Used this rifle as a base and...

    45-70 cast bullets

    Loading some 45-70 with Oregon Trail 350 & 405 cast bullets Been using RL-7 (Guy's load of 40 gr and some hotter). Lots of people reference using 25-26 gr of 2400. But I can't find published min and max powder charges for this powder. Anyone have a reference?

    Rem 700 ejector issue

    Hoping to come back this year. Wanting a snowy camp. First time I went, cold (15) and snowy. Lots of deer. Last time I came several years ago, I was hiking it a long sleeve shirt.

    Rem 700 ejector issue

    You I surfed YouTube last night, ordered an extractor from Midway. The bolt face is based upon a 223. I am impressed with the 6x45. Very mild recoil, 70 gr bullets at 3050 FPS. Will take to central Oregon next month and chase coyotes.

    Rem 700 ejector issue

    Did that.....seems to function fine. Here is a link to a video https://imgur.com/a/Rx2MLXH I shot probably 30 rounds through it today and only 4 of the earlier rounds ejected when I ran the bolt fast. All the others were like shown in the video.

    Rem 700 ejector issue

    I bought a used Rem 700 SPS. Rifle was originally a 223 but had a Shilen barrel placed in 6mm. Shoots great but.....brass extracts but does not eject. Extractor leaves brass inside the mag well (bdl) Are the Ben great ejectors that are meant to do this or is the a ejector problem?

    How good are Savage's accustocks?

    I was looking at the Savage catalog yesterday. Savage now has an Accufit stock that has the same aluminum frame in the stock but also includes adjustable length and comb. Also shows 280AI as a caliber choice. Although no 280AI available yet.

    How good are Savage's accustocks?

    I have an Accustocked 6.5-284 N weather warrior. Stock is much more rigid than other Savage stocks I have owned. Rifle shoots very well. Savage seems to have created a flood of different price point rifles (as has Ruger, etc). Guess you pick where you want to be. That being said, seems...

    New Winchester in the house.

    Never really been a Winchester person. Had a couple, sold them, but just picked up a M70 Featherweight in 7mm-08. Nice rifle with a 2 piece bottom and controlled feed. Came with Way too big a scope, removed that and installed a Leupold 2.5-8. Feels MUCH better. Took the stock off for...
