I'm looking for a good hunting load for my daughters 10"twist 18" 243. Anyone tried a similar scenario? I have most common powders and all primers except Rem. Any real world on game experience with this load would be greatly appreciated. Velocities and accuracy would be also. My...

What primers have y'all had the best results with in this combination? I have all except the Russian stuff. I'm looking for good velocity with low ES (aren't we all). I just started this combo today with fairly decent results. On an unrelated note, what would be the cause for two grouping...

Since my problem with Hybrid 100V, I've decided to go with a non-temp sensitive powder. I tried IMR 4451 today with so-so results. and wondered if any of you have tried it. The theory of a temperature stable powder that reduces copper fouling would be nice. I'm using the 180gr AB .015" off...

I checked a load that I made up at the end of last year (cool weather), and had high velocity and rather high pressure. They averaged 100fps faster and had one that went 140fps over. It was 63gr Hybrid 100V behind a 180gr AB. Have any of you had similar results?

I shot a #90 doe a couple of days ago with my .308 using 165gr ABs. The shot was behind left shoulder, slight quarter away, busted top of heart, exiting center shoulder right side. Range was 80 yrds, give or take a few. MV was +/- 2606. The thing that puzzles me is I only found one drop of blood...

I've had this BAR for a couple of years now and decided I'd give loading for an auto a try. I chose Varget to start with. I loaded three rounds of 43, three of 43.5 and three of 44 (havn't shot the 44gr yet) The bullet of choice is the 165gr AB. The biggest issue I have is the ultra low...

I've got some 165gr AB 300WSM ammo from a place called Independence Ammo that came with a rifle that I traded for. The label states velocity @ 3180fps, which I thought was a little high, but most labels are.The rifle is a Savage model 12 with 26" barrel. Today, I recieved the replacement stock...

I've been wanting to build a 300WSM for awhile now, and I think I'm going with a Savage donor. The question is: Could I use a long action for this to ensure enough mag length, or just stick with a short action and work with the barrel maker (probably Shilen) on length of throat? I assume it...

I'm shopping for mounts on my Sako, and I'm having a hard time finding some that looks like they'll hold up What kind of mounts work well on a Sako AV? I know that ram161 uses leupold, but I'd like to hear from...

I've started on a Model 7 last week with bedding and a Game Reaper scope mount today so I would like to know what loads you guys have. This little rifle shoots factory PTs around 3/4", but I'm not paying $44 a box when i can do it myself and have alot more fun.

I'm thinking of buying a set of Redding dies, the Type S Bushing Neck sizer 3-Die set to be exact. I'll be loading for .308 Win and was wondering which bushing size that I would need because there's alot of sizes offered. Should I get several different sizes for different neck tensions, or is...

I've got a Competition Electronics Pro Chrono Digital. and its starting to give me some velocities that are starting to irritate me. At the end of last year, the load I had worked up for my Sendero was averaging 3207fps with 140gr AB, 64.5gr IMR4350, WLRM primers<, and Fed.brass. Sounds good, so...

Ok, here we go, I've worked on a load for my .338WM and have decided to go with 73gr of RL-19 because it just shoots better than anything I've tried. I started with 71gr and worked up to 73.5 at .010 off lands with the best group at 73gr (1.26", not exactly what I was looking for never the...

Does anyone load the 150gr Sierra MK in 7mmRM? If so, please let me know how they do and what to use. A friend gave me some to try, but I don't usually load Sierras so I don't have a load manual for them. I've got RL-22, IMR-4350, and RL-19 so if one of those powders work that would be a bonus...

I finally got my first paint job finished on my Sako. After a long look at other paint schemes I settled on the olive/ black webbing. The olive turned out a little glossy, but it'll do. I used acrylic urethane for the olive and Krylon webbing spray over it.

I just got a Leupold 6.5-20x50 LR with target turrets for my 7RM Sendero and I've got to get new mounts for the 30mm tube. I love Talleys, but was thinking about some 20moa bases or a DNZ Game Reaper one piece, also a 20 moa unit. My question is how do you figure your clicks with the 20 moa...

First of all, I'd like to thank all of those who responded to several of my earlier posts regarding the 7 RM and convinced me that RL-22 IS the powder for 160 AB's. I'm sure that other powders work well for alot of you, but my rifle kind of likes it. It's not the best group I've shot, but I'm...

I tried some H1000 in my 7 RM with better velocity, but so-so groups, not what I expected. Once again, odd velocities with the lighter charges averaging higher velocity than 1gr increase in powder. Started seeing a little pressure @ 72grs. velocity avg for: 71gr-2953 71.5-2934 only one...

I had some 160gr. AB's loaded with RL-22 from 61-62.5grs in .5 gr increments and the velocity was sad. 62.5gr= 2764 fps avg. I've got a Sendero with a 26" barrel, so by the Nosler #6 it should be about 3000 fps (with the guide usually being off by 100 fps or so). My question is how is that...

Alright, I've finally found the rifle that I've wanted for some time now. A Sendero 7mm RM. I shot some 140gr AB's over 64.5gr IMR 4350 with great results (.375") but I'm going to go with 160 AB's . I'm going to keep the 140gr load also, but I need some general info on what you guys think on a...
