I realize it's not the exact bullet you specified, but Alliant's site offers several recipes using RL-16 with heavier 140+ weights. I only mention this in the event you hadn't already checked there or decide to try a different bullet in the future.

Several years ago, just before, and leading up to, the Remington bankruptcy, several members of my family bought ammo in yellow and green boxes in 2 or 3 calibers. All of it shot like crap in proven rifles. Ours was not the only such story I heard/read about such occurrences.
If the ammo you...
Scotty, my initial intent was to get a CTR since I have one in 6.5 CM that is absolutely stellar. However, in 24 hours, the distributor where the rifle(s) would be ordered from sold out of CTRs and no idea when they would be restocked.

Well, I did it. I ordered a Tikka Roughtech this morning and should be able to pick it up early next week. I decided to go with the sporter barrel with hunting scenarios in mind.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to my research project. I have also ordered 100 pieces of Norma brass and the...
I have been considering buying one of these in a Tikka (my preferred brand) and have been reading/watching articles and videos on the subject. Depending on the source, some say it's fantastic, especially at longer range due to heavier bullet stability, while others are meh and say the 243 is...
I have a Tikka T1x that I use with my Little Bird suppressor. With subsonic ammo it's movie quiet.
Being a Tikka, it's minute-of -squirrel-head accurate.

Rick, I'm 99% sure we had to buy the receiver and , yes, the price was more than the other providers. However, like you, we had tried several others and they were mediocre to terrible.
So far, Starlink is/was more expensive but the performance has proven to be much better for us, anyway.

We've had it for 4 or 5 months. So far, it's been great, no issues to speak of. In really crappy weather you may lose signal but it resets itself pretty fast.

I currently own two Tikka 6.5 PRCs and have had a third. None of mine have been the Roughtech stocked versions but the action are the same. Tikkas are my first choice across the board. Bear in mind their barrels are known for being "slow" compared to other brands so you often won't get equal...
I live in central Missouri. This past week we had temps in the 60s to 80s depending on the day. We woke up this morning to 67⁰ and partly sunny.
It's now 31⁰ and snowing it's butt off. Lows tonight are in the teens, 20s for a high tomorrow, teens again tomorrow night. After that, a rapid rise...
I received an email from Brownells yesterday stating they have Reloder 17 in stock, $65.99 per lb. They only have it in single pound containers, nothing larger.

I actually own four .41's. I have the Redhawk, a S&W Model 58, a S&W 657 Lew Horton special edition with a 3-inch barrel and round butt, as well as a Marlin 1894 lever gun.
This morning was the opening day of Missouri's Alternative portion of our deer season. Alternative means black powder weapons, handguns, archery, atlatls, and air guns can be used. No centerfire rifles or shotguns are allowed
I had never handgun hunted before but I have owned a Ruger Redhawk...
Can anyone explain to me why these guns have gotten so expensive? I've watched the prices steadily climb but can't seem to identify a root cause.
I own three, a Grice black synthetic 7600 in 280, a 1980's 7600 in 270, and a 1960's 760 30-06.
