I have tried several test loads using RE 15, IMR 4350, IMR 4831...mostly with 160gr bullets and a couple 150gr bullets. So far I only got acceptable groups with 160gr accubonds behind 39gr RE 15 and 150 NPTs behind 42.5gr of IMR 4350... Ready to try my tried/true 42gr RE 15 ahead of a 140gr NPT...

OK... I have a set of RCBS .243 Dies... and I read where Remington Rifles after 1958 are interchangeable with 6MM and .243 ammo... But the parent cartridges aren't the same...are they? I want to get set up to reload for the 6MM Rem 700 I just acquired... I have lots of .243 Nosler bullets and...

Well, I have had some fun searching, swapping, buying and selling lately! :grin: My goal was to reduce my small gun collection by moving some rifles/shotguns that I wasn't using and acquire a few that I had a desire to hunt with...at the same time amassing some cash surplus for other needs...

Here is the rifle I received in the trade part of the 50th Anniversary .280 LSS transaction from Mike (.280 Remington). I believe it is a 2003 or 2004 Model 7 that Mike's dad had originally. I added a Kickeeze Pad to obtain my 13.25 LOP and mounted my Leupold 4.5X14 LR scope on it. Mike's dad...

I am picking up a real nice Savage 99 EG in .300 Savage next week. I have not had one before, but noticed when I examined it that the 3X9X40 Tasco that was on it was way short on eye relief, even with a front base extension. I want this rifle for Bear/Whitetails in the U.P. Cedar swamps and...

Ok learned riflemen... I have a regular client (I've been a fishing guide for several years), that has quite an accumulation of hunting rifles. He is approaching the "golden years" and thinning the collection. I have an opportunity to acquire a newer Kimber Montana in .270 WSM, topped with a...

I have been looking for just the right rifle in .308 for awhile... Compact, wood stock, but I know its got to be a tackdriver too! I have been watching a rifle for over a year in the Green Bay, WI Gander Mountain store... 8) It appeared to be a custom rifle built on a Sako action, gorgeous...
