    Custom Competition bullet expansion.

    Went ahead and tried them anyway. Expand and fragment they do! Made fine buzzard soup. Impacts on loose dirt on the PD mounds were about 2" around and about 1/2" deep, occasionally with fragments of jacket material and core visable. Glad I used them for a magazine lenght load. They...

    25-06 vs. 280

    Not on your list, but a lot of folks use .270s. Pretty much splits the differance if your undecided. Lots of ammo and components available. A guy in my party used one on an antelope hunt a few years ago, with good success, very accurate, minimal recoil. I just pressed my .300 mag elk...

    What rifles seem to be increasing in popularity?

    Nosler, what's the chance of offering .260 rem match grade brass? Keep in mind that Lapua .308 sells for $35/100, avoiding re-forming and neck turning is worth a small premium, but don't get carried away.

    What rifles seem to be increasing in popularity?

    As an alternative to the 6.5-284 many use the .260 Reminton, 90% of the performance double the barrel life, will work in repeaters for XTC. The biggest problem is the difficulty in making match grade brass. [!Hint to NOSLER!] Given it's performance the last two years at Perry look for the...
