    300 Weatherby

    I am from Mississippi along the Big Black River corridor, arguably the best place in the state for trophy whitetail deer. I am going to try torqueing the action screws properly to see if the gun will shoot the heavier bullets better. Right now anything over 400 yds will be a poke and a hope...

    300 Weatherby

    I started working with an Accumark in 300 Weatherby. 165 gr Weatherby factory ammo would do no better than 1.5" for 3 shots. Factory ammo with the 130 Barnes TTSX shot well under an inch. There is not much data for the 130 gr in a 300 Weatherby. Anybody got any pet loads for the Barnes 130? How...

    6.5 Swede 96 range report

    I agree that is plenty for a 120. With the Remington brass, I would say the 4895 load is max for my gun. Recently I tried some 140 A-Maxs and wow. RL-17 (45gr) and IMR-4831(47.5gr) clocked a little over 2800 and shot under 3/4 inch for 3 shots. Every group is 2 shots touching with one off. I am...

    6.5 Swede 96 range report

    He is what I had done since my last post. My gunsmith bedded the action in the stock and did some work on the firing pin assembly so the firing pin would protrude a little more. The factory ammo that would not fire, will now fire. Groups are now down under an inch with 40gr of H-4895. Velocity...

    6.5 Swede 96 range report

    I finally got my sporterized Mauser with a Ramline medalist stock. I do not think the action was bedded, just fitted. So I could get to shootin; I bought a box of Remington factory 140gr ammo to sight in the Meopta scope and I could use the once fired brass to load. The factory ammo had a very...

    Turkey Guns/Loads

    Can't believe you guys did not mention Nitro Ammunition Co. line of shotgun ammo. It will put up to 10 extra yards of effective range on your shotgun in some cases. It is the most EXPENSIVE and EFFECTIVE shot shell for turkey I have ever shot. I use the H-378 3" shell with 4x5x7 Hevi shot. 50...

    EVER GET A DOUBLE

    I got a planned double or triple on doe deer in Texas. Shooting a 358 Norma with 225 Partitions; I lined up 4 does broadside at the corn feeder. At the shot, the closest 2 fell dead and the third crippled off and had to have a finisher. Always wondered if I would have been shooting a 250...

    6.5x55 brass

    Is Nosler 6.5 brass the smaller American dimensions or the PROPER European dimensions. What difference would it make in a sporterized 96 Mauser? :?:

    You read on alot of other forums of hunters using match bullets to hunt with. Sierra and Berger to name two. I have not seen Nosler bullets in their match form mentioned for use in hunting. Has anyone had any experience using Nosler match bullets to hunt with.
