    Which One?

    I spent a little time at the range today. My intent was to sight the 280 back in due to changing to the Talley scope mounts. That went well. one shot and on paper and it was right back to "boringly" shooting those 154 gr SST's into 3/4 of an inch. My other intent was to decide which load I was...

    Talley Lightweight Scope mounts.

    Im thinking of putting a set of the Talley Lightweight Scope mounts on my 280 Browning A-Bolt. I know there's some negative comments out there on these but I take the vast majority of that with a grain of salt. I like the idea of the integrated mount and ring being together, plus, they are...

    Another trip to the Range

    The Lord provided an absolutely stunning day. High 80 degrees, slight wind and low humidity. Couldn't have asked for a better day. I made it back to the range today to test and Chrono some loads in 3 of my rifles. 280 Rem, 308 and 7-08 Had some really good success today in all 3 but the one...

    280 Rem Loaded to 270 win Pressure

    I'm sure this topic has been discussed as much as the grassy knoll shooter and I know the 280 Rem was hamstrung from it's inception with the auto loader that kept pressure down, however, the 280, in modern bolt actions, can handle the higher pressure of the 270 win. I went to the range today...

    A Range Session Today!

    After finding a good load with 165 gr bullets a couple weeks ago I decided to give the Nosler 150 gr BT a go in my 308 today. Below are the results.

    It's Good to Know!

    Ive never really had a reason to buy a chronograph due to the fact that it never really mattered to me the velocity of my rifles. I almost never shoot past 100-125 yds and then it's only slightly more and couldn't justify spending 150 dollars on one. However, about a month ago I found one for 30...

    What an Awesome Morning!!

    "What an awesome morning." My grandson and I got set-up around 6:20 this morning and waited on daylight in hopes of hearing a gobbler. It wasn't long until our anticipation was rewarded with a resounding "good morning world" from a deep throated gobbler. One gobble would have been enough but as...

    We Have Found A Winner!!!

    Well, I "think" Ive found my load. After increasing the charge weight half a grain from the previous charge weight it seemed to really like this combo. Load consists of Hornady brass, IMR-4895, WLRP, 165 gr Nosler Solid Base bullet and 2.800. coal. Temp was 80 degrees today and sunny. The...

    Lucked Up On Some Bullets!

    I was tooling around in my local outdoor store the other day and came across these bullets. 20 dollars per box. Every now and then a blind squirrel finds a nut. I guess I'll add them to my stash of Nosler bullets. I have other flavors that I currently use but couldn't pass "um up.

    A Little Range Time Today

    Today was a beautiful day in my area of SC. Highs were in the mid 70's with just a slight breeze. I finally got my 308 die set and put together a couple loads to try Friday evening. I also bought a box of the new Nosler 165gr Solid Base bullets. I put together 15 rounds powered by IMR-4895 and...

    Trade

    Im not sure if this is the place for this, I just bought a 308 win and I thought I had a 308 die, however, after looking I do not have one. Would anyone here have a 308 win die they would be willing to trade for a RCBS 7mm Rem mag die?

    308 Load Data

    I was at my local Wally World yesterday and they had a Ruger American 308 on "clearance" for 340 dollars. I really didn't need it but need is sometimes not the deciding factor. 😁 I was wondering if any of you all had any shareable load data? I really like 165 gr bullets in a 308, however...

    Scope Conundrum!

    I have a Leupold VX3-HD that I was resetting to optical center the other day and noticed I didn't have the required "clicks" to match the specification of 75 MOA. If one MOA is 1.047 at 100 yds there should be 300 clicks of total elevation travel. 37.5 moa up and 37.5 moa down, which works out...

    Showing Promise!

    Since it's been around 65-68 degrees the past few days and looking like a little warmer in the coming days I got to the range today to test a few loads. This is looking like it might be the one.

    Whatcha Think!

    I was gifted several pounds of IMR 4831 and 4895 yesterday. This powder has been sitting in a metal box for a good many years. Not really sure how long or the conditions. When I opened the box all the powder cans had red rusty tops. I opened a can of each and the powder smelled and looked...
