That's a really good point. The rep from Weatherby was telling us the cartridge is taking on most of the new assignment but there are still slight modifications to the rifles themselves. He did not expand on what those changes were. You bring up a good point on this though and i would venture...

Here is what the Berger Twist App shows for the bullets I am considering. Let me know your thoughts. Typical shooting conditions for this hunt is sub 20 degrees, elevation is roughly 1200' These are two of the bullets Berger recommends for my gun spec; 150 Hunter 168 Hunter This is...

Almost exact same boat I am in here. My Dad's friend is a leisure hunter and only after whitetail and hogs. I don't know if he will ever shoot the gun at paper and is after hunting groups. If he was after precision I would absolutely require the gun here with me. You did say something I do...

Thanks much Guy, I certainly agree. I do not know what the conversation was that he and my Dad had to bring them to this conclusion. When I told Dad the appeal of reloading is dialing a round in for the exact rifle and the accuracy from it is having that exact rifle and this probably wasn't a...

I don't disagree at all. This means i would need to bring the rifle to me here in PA, or my reloading down to my Dad in TX. I know this is the better way, just wasn't sure if there was a work around as both of those options aren't the best.

This is all great information and certainly a direction to go if I would pursue things further. I appreciate the detail and the time you took outlining this for me. I'm going to pin it for myself as a reference as well. I should have explained a little better. My intention in this is more...

According to the Berger Twist calculator it’s saying my 1:9.5 barrel can’t stabilize that bullet consistently. I was really set on the 168g Hybrid initially. What are your thoughts on that calculator and how well it matches up to real world? I worry about consistency.

I took a picture of the box of ammo we all shot. I don’t recall exactly, but I did a few sets and it shot great.

Last night I signed up for an IBS style shoot here local. 3/6 at 9am. I've decided to use my 7 mag for this shoot since it's heavy, long barrel, good optic and I think this will give me some practice for longer rangers. Be good to meet some local guys doing these shoots as well. I have...

I've shot it at paper with a 7mm Backcountry, 7 mag, 6.5 prc and they shoot amazing. I wish I could find the raw bullet for reloading. I've heard rumor but can't confirm the fusion tipped and the core lokt tipped are the same bullet. Be interesting if that is the case. I grabbed a box of...

Weatherby Alpine CT in 7mm Backcountry is 5.82lbs. Apparently the pressures are reached by changing the traditional brass cartridge to a top secret cartridge and some slight modifications to the rifle themselves.

That is a good point, what is this going to do to suppressors. A box of 7mm Backcountry Federal Fusion Tipped at my LFS is $61 USD. I do think it will be interesting to see if we are ever able to load the case they use. I believe they are steel or a steel make up. What it would take to be...

I understand where you are coming from, and I agree that it won't take over and change over night. I would just say that there was a time 60k was unheard of, or smokeless powder and everyone thought about their current equipment in it's state and how it would handle the new limits that have...

Hello, I've got a good one my Dad got me into last week. A friend of his bought a new rifle (Ruger American) in .270 and Dad offered me up to reload some rounds for his buddy. I won't have the gun here to test. I did get a measurement on the lands using a modified case and whatever bullet my...

This thread is great, you guys have some really nice reloading rooms. When we moved to our new house my new reloading room became half the size it use to be and is in a temp. set up if you will, until I can do something more permanent.

I think us reloaders will have a lot to learn when these newer high pressure bullets start hitting our AOO. There is no doubt that if this concept takes off and is successful everyone will follow suit, just like they did with the 60'ish thousand pressure mark way back in the day.

American made is so hard to beat! I prefer it and seek it out when possible.

I've never not seen it. 300 win mag, 7mm mag, and started my daughter with them in a 7mm-08 factory critical lite rounds. They come apart and ruin so much meat. My cousin still runs them in his sons gun and they are super happy, going on roughly 5 years of using this bullet exclusively for...

Best Gun 360 Here is what I currently have, although Grice just got one in that I think I may switch over. It has more options for positioning your guns. I don't recall the name. If I switch over, i'll be sure to share.

The SST are so soft.. the come apart pretty bad and make a mess of your game. I have avoided them for some time now due to this.
