I'm getting my new to me Mod 700 BDL (factory chambered) 300 Wby braked and a TT Trigger put in. I went to Walkers Earbuds to use in the Field when using a braked rifle. I know the brake will reduce the felt recoil, but was just wondering what any other braked 300 Wby shooters thought of the...
I developed this (the Long Head tore, resulting in the bicep balling up into what is called "Popeye Arm") back in early summer. I have shot my Kimber 270 all summer, no issues. Then shot the 338 RPM (its braked) sparingly, with no issues. But I decided to go to Sporter Weight rifles again. I'm...
Help! I need some data for a 24" barrel (its at the Smiths, don't know the actual throat length on this Model 700 factory 300 wby yet) I could wing it with all the data I have so far, but none are for over 62K, and I would "like" to get 64K or as close as the rifle likes them. It would also...
( I apologize, I had this rifle priced wrong, fixed it) I decided to sell this rifle . its just too light for me to hold still. I did shoot a big Cow elk last week around 150yds though. I'm going back to Standard Weights. Let me tell you what I have:
Rifle started out as a 338/06 A-Square. I...
In my 24" Kimber 84L I worked up that 150 Partition to 3032! I was still under the Max QL Data with N560 too. I looked at the Specs of many factory 150 grain 7mm loads. Almost all were right at the same speed, from 2950 to 3030! Sheboygin! I'm impressed and now torn between using it or my new...
I am finagelling another deal on another 30-06! I just tonight found a nice, lightly used Kimber 84L . It has a camoed stock and stainless. I have plenty of other bullets, but I want to get a hot load for the 168 TTSX. My Kimber 270 is just too pretty to hunt much. (It's technically my...
I'm looking for some high pressure loads around 64K for both the 180 and 200gr in the 30-06. Rifle has 24" barrel and is using Winchester brass. I'm interested in VV N560 as one of the powders. I have R17, H4831, H4350, 7828, Magnum, Big Game, Hunter,N165, both 4831s. Let me know what you got...
Just got this new to me caliber (never owned one, ever) and I plan on starting with the Hammer 118 HHT ( 120) and the 120 Scenar. If neither are in the Data, please get as close as you can for 64K? As stated many times, I may not "get there" but I might! :) Thanks.
I have owned 26" barreled 7mm STW and 7mm RUM, plus one 26" 7mm Rem Mag. I was never able able to get these kind of "Bob Hagel" speeds out of them. I was able to run 3100 out of the 160 (3200 w/the bigger cases) and 3000-3050/175. As a young man, I read Bob's Book on cartridges and his use of...
I was minding my own business ( not really, I was scoping out the local ads for a "good deal" on a "spare" rifle) My dedicated elk rifle is being reamed out to 338/06 AI/bedded right now. And my Shilen barreled 7x57 (dedicated deer/antelope/nice weather elk rifle is at the shop for the caliber...
I used new Lapua 30-06 necked up to 338/06 specs. A loaded round's neck is .362" OD, and a fired case neck OD is .372". That's what, .005" clearance per side? How much clearance do I need from the necked down Whelan brass and how will I know if a donut is forming? Haven't got my new Lot of 35...
