I've been shooting a 7 PRC that I built with a 22" Bartlein carbon barrel. The thing shoots lights out and I absolutely love it. I noticed after my initial firing that the cases seemed to go into the sizing die fairly hard right at the last 1/4" of the press stroke. It was noticeable between the...

I've had both a 28N and a 7PRC. The 7PRC was a lighter rifle with a 22" tube and was running a suppressor on it. The 28N was really heavy and no fun to pack around in the woods. I've now shot out the 7PRC and am literally losing sleep at night trying to figure out if I go back to a 22" 7 PRC, or...

I won a 20" barreled Christensen chambered in 6CM at a local fundraiser last spring. I'm running a Dead Air Nomad Ti on it and have been shooting the 108 VLD out of it for the last year. Due to the short barrel, I'm only getting about 2900 fps at the accuracy node. It's plenty of fun, but I...

I played with BLC2, CFE 223, and H380. This was the best group out of all of them. Pretty sure the flyer was from a round that for some reason ended up with .007" shorter than the others. Going to go measure some bullets to see if that may be the issue. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with this...

Ok, this is far from pretty and very far from done, but I had a box of the 265 ABLR ridding around in my truck and I had to shoot some. I was a bit rushed to get it done on my work lunch, but I was able to gather some basic load data. All shots had Nosler brass with a WLRM primer. The goal was...

I don't know that much about knives or the different reasons for different edges. What do you guys use to sharpen your knives. Convex bevel or straight angle? What's the pro/con of each? I'm having an debate between the Ken Onion Worksharp belt sander style or going with a Lansky system...

After appplying for elk in Oregon for 10 years and not drawing a bull tag, my wife decided that she wanted to burn her points and try to get a bull. She has been shooting a 284 Winchester that I built for her for a couple of years now and has gotten quite good with it. We hunted the first...

I'm going to come right out of the gate and say that I have never been a big Berger guy for hunting ( I had also never tried them). BUT, I have a heavy and a light 6.5 SAUM that shoot them very well, and I wanted to try them on deer this year as my 142 ABLR load isn't developed fully yet...

I'm working on a 270 WSM shooting the 150 ABLR for my father in law. I have it shooting pretty well with 62gr. (can cover three shots with a dime) and 63 gr (.5-.75 MOA) of H1000. According to the Nosler book that should be in the 2950-3050 range. I finally shot the 62 gr load over a chrony last...

I'm loading a 270 WSM for my father in law. Looking for any load info on the 150 ABLR. I found Scottys post with RL-25. I played around with RL-26, apparently it has a bit of a different burn rate as I maxed out at my starting load of 68 gr. I figured that if Scotty was getting the groups and...

Have you guys ever noticed flash holes that are not centered in the primer pocket? If so, did you notice any difference in the way they shot? Do you think it will make a difference? I'm thinking I'll mark it, shoot it, and see if it does something weird. Any thoughts would be welcomed.

Besides the 26 Nosler, what is everyone's best guess/wish on what Nosler might be releasing at the SHOT show? All I'm really hoping for is a 6.5 140 ABLR, and a .338 250 ABLR.

I got some much needed range time today. I took the 280 AI, 338R, 375R, and 6.5 SAUM. I was trying to find a load for the 280 AI closer to 3100 fps, well, its not going to happen. My Gun does not like RL-22, and once I got over 3000 with 7828 groups opened up and never closed back down. I'm...

I have a STW and a 6.5 SAUM and only one scope. The STW is heavy, 13 lbs, and it's primary purpose is plinking around in the range and my wife loves it for hunting. I have to pack it for her, but with the weight and brake, she shoots it very well. The 6.5 SAUM is 10 lbs rifle. It is mostly...

I have been playing around with it a little bit the last few weeks without the chronograph. I Was running 61 gr of H1000 under some 140 Amax and getting some good groups. I was pretty happy with it, until I got the Chronograph out. All the reading I had been doing suggested that 61 gr should get...

Finally got it done. Had a few hick ups along the way. When we changed out the bolt head to a mag bolt head, we didn't know that we needed to change out the firing pin as well. A few days later we got the parts and had it up and running. I wasn't going to post about it until I had some groups to...

I was wondering around A few local sporting stores yesterday looking for some Ramshot BG, H1000, 7828ssc, and whatever else I thought I might need. The only thing that I could find was some 7828ssc. I did however find several cans of 4000MR. I have heard of it, but never really heard of...

I got the chance to join a group of guys the have been hunting some of the Frank Church Wilderness for the last three years. I wasn't sure what to expect, but from the sounds of things it was a hunt like nothing I had done before. We were camping in wall tents, getting up early riding quads for...

Just a teaser of a hint! These are not fire formed yet.

After a bit of tweaking and scope tightening :x , I think I'm there. not the fastest thing in the world @ 3100 but I'm done chasing max speeds. I just want to load and shoot things. I'm not sure how much faster I could go anyways. These three shots read 3100, 3100, 3108. The nickel...
