This is information that wasn't made clear in your first post. And I can see how this would not meet your, or anyone else's, expectations. I will say, that in anything manmade, we do see where automated production does tend to fall "short" from time to time and yet still makes it through the...

I have been using 140 gr bullets in the 6.5x55 since 1995 and have had great results with it. Since getting the 6.5 Creedmoor I have used both the 140/143 gr bullets and the 130 gr bullets. With slightly less case capacity I quickly decided that I would save the 130s for the Creedmoor and keep...

Guy, you never did complete this thread! Is it the 110 gr AccuBond load, I think you named the White Tornado!

A little update... Came across this beauty and couldn't pass on it! LH ako AV in 25-06 Rem. Has a 24" Krieger barrel, and was built by well known gunsmiths in Kelowna, BC

Me too. It is a joy to watch you perform with your hand cannons and produce consistent results with them at long range! I applaud your practice and commitment to achieve that proficiency level. It is an earned skill! And that is what I admire most amongst you guys.

A 350 gr bullet from the 416 Rem Mag should produce great performance on Buffalo. Buffalo Bore also produce some great ammo. Only ever read about people using them, and never spoken to anyone directly who used it themselves. In discussing the potential of the 416 Taylor on Cape Buffalo with my...

"My guns shoot in the .2's to .3's or I dont hunt with them" :cool: If only I could shoot well enough to see if all of my hunting rifles could shoot such tight groups! (I just recognize my own limitations :rolleyes:) I just shake like a leaf in a high wind, so I am pretty happy when I can...

Here in the great white north, they were a restricted firearm, so we could only use it under permit at a registered gun range. We could not hunt with one or take it out into the field. I was originally mildly interested in one if I could get it in the 338 Federal...but never really pursued it...

If you notice in most reloading guides, if not all, they recommend trimming your cases to a length shorter (0.010" +/- a few thou depending on cartridge) than the maximum case length to start with to minimize trimming as the cases stretch after initial firings. So there is nothing wrong with the...

Good to see kids working hard and learning (and earning) a good work ethic. And that they are being grounded in nature and what it takes to gain knowledge and experience that will be transferable skills in all future walks of life! Whether that be by parents, friends and family, or helpful...

Busy kids! Lucrative business! Maybe I should be out there picking up walnuts! (Too bad we don't have many around here in NE BC ☹️ )

Sounds like the AccuBond performed exactly as designed. 30 yards is a short tracking job. Typical of a double lung hit. Most heart shot animals will travel further as a shock to the heart causes the brain to release endorphins into the body that typically results in a death run of an average...

I picked up a 7mm PRC too, but have yet to take any game with it. It does shoot the Federal Terminal Ascent ammo well (0.708" 3 shot groups @ 100 yards). Still need to try the Federal 155 gr TA ammo, Nosler 160 gr AccuBond ammo and Barnes 180 gr TGK ammo for accuracy too. I have 35 years of...

Very nice! Been a fan of the 6.5's for over 30 years. Really like my 6.5 CMs, and my wife liked mine so well she bought one for herself. The 140 gr AccuBond is a great bullet and works well on a wide variety of game! Hope everyone enjoys them for many adventures yet to come!

A good hunt doesn’t need to end with a kill… Time in the field with friends and family, seeing lots of game, and just enjoying the outing away from the other worries of life = priceless! And you get to again!

Beware the man with one gun! He needs the support of others… As his only firearm is lonely! 😉

When I was youngerand less knowledgable, and did not have the dispisable income, I had to sell or trade rifles for something more interesting or desirable at the time. I probably lost more/spent more by doing so. Live and learn. Ovet the last 20 years, things have gotten better as I was better...

Sounds like one of those deals you’ll be kicking yourself over for years to come if you don’t jump on it!

Tough call… Now that you can anneal your 400 cases, you have some life left there for awhile. How much do you shoot your 348? Or plan on shooting it? This would be the determining factor for me. If you shoot it a lot, or plan on shooting it more, then grab the brass while it is available. If...

Well it looks like I am invested in the 257 AI Improved now! Stopped at the LGS this afternoon to look for scope caps for the Zeiss V4 4-16x44 with illuminated #68 reticle I have coming. The Browning X Bolts are on sale with an additional rebate on top of that. And they finally had a LH X Bolt...
