I currently have some Varget along with Speer 235gr and old Barnes X 210gr. I hear 4064 works well for the lighter bullets so might give it a try as well.
I am thinking of going with the thumb hole varmint model and get it pillar bedded. I’ll shoot it for the time being as is but save my pennies up for the Boyd :)
Just picked up a nice used Howa 1500 HB with the hogue stock and was thinking of replacing it with a Boyds. Should I or just keep the hogue? It’s in .22-250 with the 24” heavy barrel.
Yes, I have done some research into these rifles and quite impressive quality. Cut rifling and known for being very accurate. Looking forward to doing some load testing.
Thanks for the information. I plan on keeping the velocities to match factory load. With rear locking action, don't want to push it too much. It's been a cartridge I have wanted for over 40yrs. Not too many around.
Has anyone loaded for this cartridge? Just picked up an older Schultz & Larsen M65DL and was wondering if forming brass would be a good idea or just bite the bullet and buy some factory brass.
Thanks for the information. So with the Optilock, I would need to get bases and rings, correct? Scope will be a Burris FF 3-9x40. Would that work with low or medium rings?
Good day folks,
Looking for scope mount suggestions for a L61R. Rifle in question is chambered in .375 H&H
Never owned a Sako before and not too familiar with the dovetail setup. Do I need bases and rings, or just rings to fit the dovetail?
Last time I owned a 375 my go to was IMR4350 with the 270gr and W760 for 300gr. That was in a Whitworth Mark X and would have been mid to late 90’s. Gee, I think it’s time to get another Hoot & Holler lol
I have always used Nosler BT for deer and have had great results. Every one has been a bang flop. From 100yds out to 220yds. All shots have been through the vitals, so no shoulders hit. Was thinking the SST might perform similar.
I was thinking of trying the SST as well. Never tried them on game yet. What kind of speeds did you get? And how did they hold up on deer? I have heard some guys saying they blow up while others love them.
