One of our range members donated a lead sled said he didn't use it anymore. I've only seen it used once when I have been to the range. Sets lonely in the shooting shack.
You won't have any problem of the AB not expanding. My grandson used them on a bobcat at about 175 yds and it opened up quite nicely. Those BTs gets a deer's attention right now also. Good in a 308 Win for sure.
When younger I only had one deer rifle so that's what I used. First started out with a 30-06. Would trade for a different caliber just to try it out. Later on was ble to acquire more rifles different calibers. Now I usually pick three before season, sight in and rotate during the seasons. Where...
Lots of information here. Got some 139,140,150gr bullets to try on hand along with IMR & H 4831, RL19. Saw where Hornady lists Win SB6.5 in their data. Plenty to start with. Thanks.
That's a pretty snazzy looking rifle. Hope it does well for you. 46grs of Varget or there abouts usually gives good groups in the 308 with 150gr bullets.
I am the new owner of a 280 Rem. Never owned one before. Have owned 7mm RM and do own 7mm08. Haven't checked for past load data on here just thought I would ask. Will be used for hunting whitetails here in WV and banging some plates at the range occasionally. So, what do you guys like to load...
I had read of this happening. I had 2lbs of 4451 and never had any issues with it before using it all up. Accuracy and velocity were good. The copper reduction claim I didn't see much if any effect.
With a 1-9 twist what have you found to be the heaviest and or longest bullet to stabilize in this twist? Traded up a 223 with this twist and the heaviest I have on hand and tried is the Sierra 69gr Match King which went straight thru the target no keyhole. Just curious what others have found...
My first deer rifle was a Rem 760 30-06 that I bought in high school working summers saving some money. It was the first rifle that I started reloading for. I traded it off only because my unlearned self-thought a bolt action was what was needed. Over the years I have owned different ones. My...
Have had three 6br rifles and used Lapua and Norma brass. Both work well. You will get many loading from each brand as the 6br lends itself to long case life.
Yeah, I forgot to mention that IF you can bust up a flock sit right there and start calling using the kee kee and loud yelps. Mouth calls are the easiest to make the kee kee on, but a slate can be used just need to practice with each. Younger birds are always the easiest to call in.
Fall turkey hunting whether gobblers or hens involves a lot of walking and calling. Walking looking for fresh scratching as you call periodically. Make sure to determine the direction the scratching is going. Keep easing along stopping, calling listening. Gobblers are harder to hunt in the fall...
Another thing to do to is make sure your empty brass after FL sizing, trimming will cycle thru your action and chamber without any issues. Just start the empty into the chamber then close the bolt onto it doing so with each piece. I use a FL die for my 35 Rem Mod 760 all the time without any...
Try the FL size die and if you are not satisfied then use the small base. We all have our favorites but personally I find that 150gr bullets work well in the 308 for deer and use them more often than 165gr in my 30-06 as well. Both good. Let the rifle show you which it groups best. Go from...
Yes, it was a standard RCBS FL size die. I have also loaded for a Rem 742 30-06 semi-auto using same die type without any problems. As for Varget in your BAR 308 just start low and work up. If you want to get a better c.o.l. get one of Hornady's curved gauges that will allow you to get a better...
