Nice rifle and great that it is one you learned to shoot with. Hopefully after a good cleaning and trying different brands of ammo you will find one that groups a little better. Still a fun looking range toy.

Two years ago, I had Douglas to re-barrel a Remington 700 with one of their XX premium stainless barrels. I live about 2 hrs. away and wanted to see the place for myself, so I took it to them. Got the grand tour of manufacturing a barrel from raw stock to finished product. Cost of their barrel...

Understand about the barrel heating up. This time of year, I spend more time cooling the barrel than shooting it seems.

As been stated, some run, some don't. One interesting thing I saw once was the last day of buck season. Had not seen a buck prior to this day. Small buck shows up about 3:45 in the afternoon, about 150yds or so. Watched him for awhile no others around so as he started to feed off, I decided to...

Definite improvement. Just on a whim, try loading 4 rounds when shooting for a group. You questioned yourself if the shot pulled was you or the load. With 4 shots you get another chance if you pull one. Just a thought.

Good job on your reloading and shooting. Now the fun begins as you have a load, so load a bunch and let her and whoever start practicing.

Not the 6.5cm but close, I have used the 129 SSt in my 6.5x55 with very good results from 40yds to 140yds and there wasn't any over destructive damage I thought. Was similar to the Nosler 120gr BT or Sierra 120gr Pro Hunter. Good bullet far as I'm concerned.

When I was deer hunting with the 25-06 my favorite bullet was the Nosler 115gr PT later followed by the 115gr BT. No worries with either.

I head a hundred times the same story from a departed friend of his experience using the old Nosler solid base boat tail lead tipped bullet in his 6mm Rem claiming it poked a hole straight through a deer with minimal damage and after along tracking job with additional shots required to finish...

Welcome. You have been given sound advice on difference in powder, bullets, seating depth and such. The only thing I might add is the obvious of tight screws and mounts. Also make sure your bore is clean and not heavily fouled from bullet jacket. This can cause loss of accuracy varying one rifle...

Hey Paul, is it possible to remove the block in the magazine well then use a longer follower so it will accommodate the longer cartridge length?

I load four rounds of each load I'm shooting for groups. Not as many as 5. Can't get by with just three as I'm bad to pull shots:rolleyes::LOL:

I have no problems with the Nosler seconds sold by them. Bought some 7mm seconds from Midway that looked like Sierra 140gr. Don't know if it was the bullets, the load combos I tried or that my rifle just didn't like them, but I couldn't get them to group for nothing. Gave the rest to my son to...

Years ago when Ruger started chambering the Mod 77 in 257 Roberts, I knew a guy who loaded 117gr round nose due to the short throat length.

My Nikon Prostaff 5 started not tracking correctly the other day. Have had it since 2019. Was on a 7mm08 and for the last few years a 223, no heavy recoiling rifles. Just got off the phone with their customer support. They are emailing me the information needed to return the scope for a redeem...

I know that the removal of suppressors from the 1934 Federal Firearms Law is in the Big Beautiful Bill and caught a glimpse of a heading regarding this but nothing more lately. Anyone one if more information concerning this is available. Haven't dug too deep. Hope the restriction of having to...

Like you I have used the 150gr in 308 with the exception of one-time 125gr which I plan to try again sometime. In my 30-06 I've used both 150 and 165. Both work. The advantage of the 165 is a little more weight and energy if an angling shot is needed. Mostly it comes down to what groups best in...

Try it you'll like it.

Nikon will repair their scopes if possible if not then give you a gift card for their website and you use the value for their products. My son sent one back last year and they said was unrepairable, so they sent him a card worth $300. He got a nice pair of binoculars. I'm thinking of buying a...

Glad it all worked out. Hope she heals soon and ready to start enjoying her new deer slayer.
