    Accubond problems

    I had that issue before. I contacted Nosler and they asked for some pictures and lot numbers on 3-4 boxes of Ballistic Tips where the tips fell out. I emailed Nosler along with some pictures. Nosler investigated the lot numbers and mentioned that those bullets were so old and sent me a...

    Velocity and accuracy

    Nice shooting. I have a a question or two. Are you handloading these loads? If so, groups are great, but do you also anneal your own brass? If these loads are fired a few times to several times, brass hardening on the necks can occur. It's a possibility those flyers are from brass hardening if...

    I got my 6 screw 34mm Nightforce rings the other day, leveled the 6 BRA rifle and installed the rings and 7-35 ATACR. Full sized 30 pieces of 6 BR Lapua virgin brass to fireform, loaded all 30 pieces with 28.5 grains of Varget, CCI450 primers, and 3 different bullets. Ten pieces of 107 Sierra...

    224 Wby 7-22-26

    Good shooting, Barnes load looks promising. Seating depth adjustment should tighten those groups. You will get it running great in no time. Is that a tunnel? Not sure what it is when I saw it. ;)

    Where have the gunsmiths gone?

    I have been in the same boat, I won't say names, but this recommended gunsmith who says he is part of the US Shooting Team did two bad chambers ( 6 BR and then offered to do 6 Dasher chamber free of charge ) on my 6 BR with a new Impact Precision action. It was a year and a half that my rifle...

    Yes, F Open, I haven't got the scope or rings mounted on it yet. It came in yesterday, it was smashed lengthwise, the scope was to one side and upside down, out of the foam, sunshade was on the other side of the box, inside of the NF box was torn up, and I emailed EuroOptics with pictures and...

    If you were to choose between the ATACR and the Razor, comparing them both in mirage, bad conditions, best clarity and tracking, which would you pick ?

    Wow, I never knew about the NX6, it looks similar to the ATACR and specs look pretty close and its lighter.

    Decided to go with the NightForce ATACR 7-35 x 56 MOAR-T, I have the same on the 6 BR and worked well for me. Once it comes in, I'll measure for the 34mm rings. I could upgrade to higher magnification in the future, if needed but at this point I'll stick with the 7-35X, I can swap this out with...

    Taxidermy,costs,and the here after

    I sold all my shoulder mounts to some lady in Florida about 15 years ago, total about 18 mounts plus skull mounts. She wanted to buy them for her husband as a surprise because he was building a new hunting lodge so she drove by herself with a U Haul trailer to my house non stop from Florida and...

    6 BRA built by Bat Machine. Need to look for a scope and rings from EuroOptics. Once the rifle is dressed up, I will clean the rifle and lube the bolt, run a bore scope to check things in chamber and barrel. If all is good, I'll run 28, 28.2, and 28.4 grain charges, 4 rounds each and all jammed...

    To anneal or not?

    I use a BenchSource, have it all set up, then turn out the lights and spin the case in the double flame and once the neck turns a dull red, I pull it.

    To anneal or not?

    In my 35 plus years of reloading, I started annealing about 10 years ago and I wish I should have done it eons ago. Without annealing, I notice erratic bullet seating pressures where some brass necks are more hardened than others after 2-3 firings, inconsistent groups with flyers, and...

    Current 6 BRA build

    The builder at Bat Machine mentioned that he uses the same .274 reamer for several rifles and many of them did very well, and yes most like the .272" and I did question him about it. He never saw any issues with the .274 and .150 freebore.
