I had my gunsmith spin a 6.5 CM barrel onto a Sako long action and re chamber to a 6.5-284 Norma set to accept OAL up to 3.228 inches. Most of the loading data has tested OAL at 2.98 inches. I have been seating to 3.15 for AB 140grs and 3.17 for Barnes 127 LRX. I am finding that my...

With the 6mm Creedmoor seeing more and more popularity, time for Nosler to up their hunting bullet options. 100 gr Partition - probably the best choice currently How about a 105 to 108 gr ballistic tip? I don't mind some fragmentation. Eric

I understand the AI cartridges. Have a couple 280AI. But what does A-Square signify? Nosler data manual list 338-06 A-Square. Thanks for educating me

Been playing around with a 6 ARC for the past couple months. Started with a Ruger American with a 16 inch barrel and now have moved to a Howa Mini action with a 22 inch barrel. Mostly shot ELD-X's with a few 90 gr AB here and there. The short barrel Ruger was getting 2650 fps with the 103's...

Looking for some 100 gr PT for testing in a 6mm creedmoor. Seconds are great PM me if you have some left overs laying around Thanks Eric

Have an upcoming elk hunt and sorting through my existing rifle options. Couple questions: 1. For 54 cal PRB is there a velocity to achieve or just best accuracy? Have a good charge with 90 grs FFF that gets me 1710 fps 2. I have a short barrel 50 cal that with 80gr FFF PA conicals, I got...

Got one of the Nosler suppressors a few months ago. Also got a SciTi suppressor at the same time. Both similar in weight. I wanted light suppressors for hunting rifles. Used a decibel reading app on my iPhone and shot both suppressors side by side. The SciTi has a single vent break on the...

Listening to the Hornady folks and reading the Barnes data, the relief rings on their mono bullets reduces barrel cooper fouling. What has Nosler done with their E-tips that they don't need relief rings.? Thanks

Had my M48 barrel cut and threaded at 20 inches. Now the suppressor balances well and is not overly long carrying in the field. First range trip was using a variety of powders, looking for velocity in the shortened barrel. Bullet choice is 150 gr E-tip Initial powders were 4350, 4831...

Barnes's data show impressive speed with Ramshot Hunter. Ramshot doesn't list in their own data (electronic and verified with phone call) I found 160 PT with 58 gr of Hunter. Was going to substitute a 160 AB. Anyone used? input compared to H4831 and 7828 (my stand bye) Cutting my M48 to 20...

My 17 inch Tikka barrel is back. Shot some great groups, now working on finding the right combination of bullet and powder Stuff loads of Big Game group well. 120 gr BT @ 2825 140 gr BT @ 2700 Anticipated the velocity drop, so not worried about that as the rifle handles great with the can...

Having a Tikka 7mm-08 cut and threaded at 17 inches. Want to play with a short barrel with a suppressor. I understand some cartridges benefit from AI (280AI') and some it just doesn't matter. Planning on losing about 25 FPS with the barrel cut. What about trying to offset this with an AI...

Really nice Winchester 100 in 284 Metal and wood in really nice condition. I have owned for years and shot it once. It was a sentimental purchase years ago, but beyond that now Will include mount and rings and one box of factory ammo. The scope pictured is NOT included. $900 shipped

Anybody have some 6.5 cal 130 gr ABs that need a better home. Promise to take them backpacking in October.

Midway has seconds of these for a decent price. Looking for a range bullet for 300-400 yds practice in my 280AI. Have a 150 E-tip load for hunting that shoots great. Any other "cheap" 7mm bullets for moderate range work people suggest. Accurate and cheap preferred.

What do people think...... Was out looking for spring bears....went to a place where I know there are bears, water down below and timber behind. Lots of grass along the closed dirt road. I hiked upon the backside hill and was 95 to 160 yds above the area I was watching. It was a 35 degree...

Over the years, like many other, I have owned a lot of rifles in a variety of calibers. Some of the rifles have changed, but there has been some consistency in calibers. But never a rifle in 7 mm mag, not even briefly. I recognize the ballistics are great for a do all rifle. Now days, my...

I picked up this rifle a few months ago. M48 in 300 WSM. The stock appears to be a carbon fiber, but NOT from Nosler. I called and spoke with the Nosler people. Stock weighs 24-25 ozs. There are no manufacture markings on the stock. Anyone have an idea who might have made it? Great...

Have long admired Nosler rifles. Recently pick up a couple. I didn't realize that the M48 in 280AI came in both magnum and sporter barrels. I had only seen magnum. Was surprised today coming across one in sporter contour. About 1/2 lb lighter.

Can someone get me in the ball park for 200 gr E-tips in a 338-06 AI I have a couple hundred to play with. Thanks
