JD, The Vortex is mounted on a 260 Rem with Talley LW 30mm rings. They also have been lapped. My friend turn me onto Talley rings, and I really like them!

I purchased a Vortex Viper 30MM 4-16x44 HS last year and has been working well. I have hunted with it, and lots of target range from sunrise to sunset. The scope turrets have been precised with lots of turning. The duplex reticle has thin cross hairs which is nice for hunting. The optics are...

Went to the range this afternoon. Pretty windy and was fluctuating from 6-9mph. First cold bore shot was at 700 yards. Smack the man target, then move over to the 12" plate, and then sent three more down range 2 hit and 1 miss. Really impressed with the 260! Spent about 30 BSing with fellow...

Thanks guys. Of coarse they won't staying that way. BK, I'll have to post a review on the scope.

Modified another Winchester Extreme Weather stock for my Marlin X rifle in 260 Rem. Duracoated action and barrel with Tactical Black mixed with Gray Wolf. Talley LW 30mm rings and Vortex HS 4-16x44 30mm scope. Finished with a PTG aluminum Oberndorf trigger guard. Barrel is a Criterion 24" 260...

I'll do more testing later with Ramshot Hunter. So just keep an eye out on the sensitivity of your loads, curious if anyone else has issues. However, I shot a ladder test with my 260 using Ramshot Hunter with 130's, and it shot really well with speed being very stable. The temperature were I...

With all those bullets, your going to need powder to push them. I need to start collecting. :)

I'm going to drop Hunter powder right now.I like the powder, it seems to work great, but maybe the combo I have is not working. I don't have much data to backup and say the powder is temperature sensitive, and my consensus is that I might be in the upper node which is not stable. Hence why I...

I've been using Ramshot Hunter in my 30-06 with 190 VLD Hunting. Got some time today to shoot some rounds, and also setup the chronograph to get a good readings. Have any of you guys using Ramshot Hunter experience temperature sensitivity? As the temp went from 65 degrees (early morning) to...

Fotis- That had me cracking up! But its true, the 06 does like 4350.

Rodell, Totally understand. Yeah, popular reloading supplies are scarce, with some stuff floating around. Hope you hammer down on some game, and good luck!

As for the RL22 OCW test, I would call the 45.2grs as your scatter node. So adding 1.5% would put you in your OCW. However, it just doesn't seem to hold very well. I like the 44.4 to 44.8 grs and would say 44.6 as your ocw. Next time out when you have some more 140's try that area. Seems to...

The Berger 105 hybrids may key hole. I tried a few 105 VLD in my 243 AI using 1:10 twist figuring if I had enough speed they may work. I was wrong and they key holed at 100 yards pretty bad. The 105 Amax did okay. Good luck!

The E-Tips seem to do really well far off the lands. Don't hurt to try a little closer. Let us now how it goes.

The build was really not hard. Just a little thinking and some hand work. To me its fun, and something to do. Here are some pictures, not going to post them all, to many to upload. Enjoy! Link: http://s6.photobucket.com/user/trailrid ... 20X%20SAUM Stress free bedding before clean up. Head...

Thanks guys. The barrel was a Savage 7mm-08 then rechambered to 7saum. I like the Marlin action a little better than Savage. Bobnob- Yes, Long action. Didn't want issue with the long hybrids in SA. The action screw spacing is the same; however, I did have to clearance the stock a little for...

Just want to share my rifle build with you guys. Converted a Marlin XL7 270 into a 7mm SAUM. The platform will be a Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather LA stock (Thanks BlackDog1 for stock) with a PTG Aluminum bottom metal. The barrel is a light Varmint contour 24" Criterion barrel. After...

Okay I got around to shoot some of my 30-06 190 vld loads using Ramshot hunter. Seems to be working well, but is on the edge of the pressure side (according to Quickload). I was undecided between using RL22 or Hunter. I'm going to use Ramshot Hunter. Going to load up some more and test them at...

DrMike, Thank you sir, greatly appreciated. I guess its in the red zone, but no signs of pressure. I found a great load at 59.0grs and speed is around 2810 avg with 24" barrel. I was shooting some 3 shot groups at 340 yards, and the 59gr load shot 1" group with 1/2" vertical. So I loaded 10...

Didn't feel like staring another thread, and hope not to highjack this thread. I'm working on a load using Lapua brass, 190 vld, and Ramshot Hunter. I found a great upper high node around 58.8 to 59.3 grs. Anyone have and quickload data you can PM me, just don't want over pressure the 06.
