While I have no experience with 25 caliber, with 7mm, .338, and .270, I have never experienced any difference between 1st quality and Pro shop seconds. Likewise, in a recent test by Handloader Magazine, they found the same thing with the two. An article on the test is on Handloader Magazine's...
Check out Sportsman's Warehouse. They would charge you 80 bucks a pound for Alliant Reloader 23, if they had it. Imagine what it would cost if Bass Pro Shop had succeeded in taking them over.
Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack the thread. While I have experienced great performance from the Accubond, the OP is asking for 160 grain 7mm Partiitions. Can anyone help him?
Over a number of years my friends and I have killed 25 moose with the 7mm 160 ;grain Accubond. It shoots flater than the Partition and seems to kill as well. Works fine on deer and elk as well. I have been able to pick them up from time to time lately from Shooters Pro Shop. I have found their...
Instead of buying special tools for removing stuck cases, all the tools needed may be found in most shops or garages, a drill, 1/4 inch course tap and bolt. a fender washer, and a 9/16 socket. Drill and tap the primer pocket. Thread the bolt with washer through the back of the socket into the...
I hit two Sportman's Warehouses yesterday. Not a drop of powder, but every time I go in there I find a bag or two of 270 brass. No other rifle brass. Why just that one kind?
The 140 grain Accubond seems a bit light for anything much larger than a deer. My friends and I have been using the 160 gain Accubond on everything for years. We have taken about 25 moose with it. It also works great on deer and elk. We don't like resighting between seasons, especially when elk...
The right hand trigger for the model 700 by Timney, Rifle Basix, and possibly others works just fine in the left hand model. You just have to reuse the safety and possibly counter-sink the safety hole.
This smacks of a monopoly. Time for Uncle to step in and break them up. Should not have been allowed in the first place. The only competition is part of a different market, not real competition.
Back when the post 64 model 70 came out, Winchester put out some stocks that had not been properly cured and warped terribly. My friend had one in which the fore stock clearly was pressing on the left side of the barrel resulting in 100 yard groups the size of basketballs. We kept relieving the...
Guy, the pictured bull appears to be 2 1/2 years old. Roosevelts seldom get a chance to get any older. If they do. they will often form a crown at the end of the antler like a Red Deer. Of all the Roosevelt bulls I have killed, only one has such a crown, and then only on one side.
Go with Ballistic Tips if you plan on hunting just deer, Accubonds if you plan on anything bigger, I have taken lots of deer, elk, and moose with Accubonds and they have never let me down.
Nice shooting. A piece of black plastic electrical tape over the end of the barrel will keep all that rain out without affecting a shot. Ask me how I know.
Hodgeman,
Following your line of reasoning, as velocity goes up efficiency goes down. Using the same cartridge and bullet but adding more powder to get more velocity will result in less efficiency. Since the energy of the bullet goes up with the square of the velocity, doubling the velocity...
