    Comparing the 26Nosler to 264win mag and 6.5X300

    Barnes has 6.5-300 Weatherby load data online. Handloader Magazines December 2016 issue had 6.5-300 Bee data for over 380 loads. I have 26 Nosler and 6.5-300 Weatherby rifles and hunt with both of them, I have not hand loaded for either of them yet. Nothing wrong with the 264 Win either, so if...

    CO legal bullets for 50 cal?

    My Encore loved the Hornady FPBs, the Federal Bor-Loc's were a close 2nd choice. Thor's were impossible to find, maxi-balls and powerbelts shot about a 2' group at 30 yds out of my Encore. So in the end it depends on what your muzzleloader likes.

    VV N140 in .270 Win

    Welcome, I am fairly new here myself-lots of looking not much posting. I use N160 in my Browning 270 win. with 130 partitions. It's unbelievably accurate in my rifle, less then .3" at 100 yards. I do have a Vihtavuori Book and do not see N140 listed for use in the 270, it may be a little to fast...

    338 Wm M77 Range Day

    Looks like you will have to do some work to get it to shoot consistent groups, but it's close already. Nice to have something to play with this time of year.

    Updating my sights on my ML

    If you go with the peep sight, you might want to consider replacing it with a Williams aperture peep. I purchased one from EABCO and its mounted on the back of a weaver style scope base. It is nice to be able to adjust the size of the peep opening in regards to light conditions. While shooting...

    Unable to bore sight M48 Patriot

    Thanks Dr Mike, with the number of posts you have it looks like you've been around the block a time or two. I leave for Colorado on October 1 for an elk hunt in unit 76, the 35 Whelen would have been a better choice then the 300 SAUM I am bringing. I also have a muzzleloader deer tag to fill...

    Unable to bore sight M48 Patriot

    Well I need to apologize, apparently I am doing something wrong with my lazer bore sighter. After closing up the cabin I decided to remount some scopes I tried on my M48 Patriot, and I ran into the same elevation problem on rifles I've used many times. Luckily I have also found a new range to...

    Reloading Components Availability updates

    I've had 100 gr e-tips on order for one of 257 Bee's for almost a year at Cabelas. I stopped in a small general store in Osakis, MN and found 2 boxes on clearance which I purchased for $27.99. They also had some 270 and 6mm e-tips too, he said they were on clearance because they are...

    Unable to bore sight M48 Patriot

    Well no luck getting my M48 bore sighted, so Mike said its time to send it in. He said I've messed with it long enough and it's time to have them look at it. Hopefully back in a couple weeks. Thanks for all the advice. I've had an itch for a 35 Whelen for a long time, and you guys have me...

    Unable to bore sight M48 Patriot

    I will give your ideas a try when I get home from fishing next week. But I did use my old fashioned method of the key hole on the front door after removing the bolt and looking down the bore and it still ran of adjustment. Shooting it at 25 yards would cure the itch I have to shoot it, and I...

    Unable to bore sight M48 Patriot

    AzDak42-I've tried 3 different scopes from other rifles, a Zeiss Conquest and 2 Leupolds and they all ran out of elevation. I've also tried 2 sets of Talley lightweights and a set of Leupold base and rings. All with the same result! I wonder if to much Cerakote was applied on one part of the...

    Unable to bore sight M48 Patriot

    The talleys are one piece and cannot be switched from front to rear since the screw holes are spaced wider apart. Also when I tried the Leupold base and rings with a 4-12x40 VX2, when I loosened the rear windage screws the base of the rear scope ring elevated about 1/16". I don't really want to...

    Unable to bore sight M48 Patriot

    Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and recently purchased a M48 Patriot in 26 Nosler. Though I have been using Nosler bullets while reloading for close to 40 years. I've tried 2 sets of medium Talley lightweight scope mounts and a set of Leupolds on my new rifle, and I've also tried 2 Leupold...
