I waited til the last minute to find some decent rabbit hunting area outside of Colorado Springs. We will be going in the direction around Wilkerson Pass. Anybody from around my area that has any 1 day rabbit hunting area suggestions? Thanks Steve

Have a 30-06 round that was custom handloadeed for one rifle. The owner told me it was for another 30-06 rifle. The first attempt chambering was so that the bolt would not close. I knew not to force it. I tested with a second round and that was my mistake. The round is stuck in the chamber...

Hi Peeps, I know there are many different opinions on powders for the 7mm Rem Mag but is anyone using RL 17 for theirs and how are the results. Any recipe hints would be appreciated. I am shooting with mag primers, 24" barrel and testing with both Nosler 150 gr Partitions and Nosler 160 gr...

A friend has a custom 300 WM that has been used for a couple of seasons and has at least 300 reload rounds down the barrel. The exact same reload formula has been used since its first outing. For some reason, extraction (dummy rounds, brand new brass, 3x used brass, different bullets, prep...

I have more than plenty of Large Rifle magnum primers for now till who knows when - :) :) ..but I just now noticed that I only have about 400 Large Rifle primers which are used for the 7mm-08. If for some reason we don't see primers back on the shelves for 2013, can one use Large Rifle Magnum...

Just as another hunter mentioned his lesson learned I thought I would add mine. Sadly I just learned a big lesson. Backup rifle 7mm Rem Mag was shooting perfect consistent 3-4 shot clovers with final RL-22 custom load. Cleaned rifle and went to range to foul barrel on Saturday. Wind was...

Okay I learned a lesson today. I need to stop being so cheap and trying to get maximum number of reloads from my 7mm Rem Mag brass. I read someone's post reply on here the other day regarding his 7mm Rem Mag brass and only get 5 reloads out of it and then toss it. Thats what I did yesterday...

Well this has come down to a troubling question for this year's hunting camp. In previous camps, game was not divided up among the whole camp. Other than a few steaks given to each of the people in camp. the hunter that shot the game, kept the game for his household. This year we have brought...

This is an FYI for scope or other optics purchases. Fellow Nosler friends, buyer beware. We had approximately 28 days left to buy a new scope for one of our camp hunter's rifles (the 300 win mag). We could not find the scope he wanted locally so after some internet research, we decided to go...

Range day for the Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 7mm Rem Mag was excellent. Using 160 gr NABs and IMR4831, I got consistent 5 shot groups. This is not a screamer load averaging only 2963 fps but each group was just too easy to shoot. (H4831sc would not give consistent accurate groups) Scotty...

If some remember, my new Minox Z5 4-20x50mm was sent in for repair. The scope would not correctly focus when using a higher magnification above 12-13x at the 100 yards or greater distance. The scope is back, field tested at the range and I am very happy to say, my scope has been correctly...

I am not getting the best consistent fps when using H4350 for 30-06 and 165gr Interlocks which of course is contributing to not the best groups. Deviation can be as much as 50 FPS now matter how careful I am with prep and reloads. Using Fed210 primers and Remington brass. Whenever I use H4831...

Just inherited a reload job for a 30-06 where the former reloader moly coated the rounds. Does this in effect moly the barrel and if so, will new "non-moly" reloads show less pressure than if the barrel had never shot moly loads? Thanks 338winmag

Friend has a new Remington 770 but it is right handed and he is left handed. Are there any economy rifles that are made both hands? The Remington 770 does not. The Weateherby Vanguards do not. Thanks 338winmag

I just installed a new timney trigger in my Weatherby Vanguard Series 1 rifle which most know this rifle's trigger had a reputation of "just not the greatest". I did not have to make any modifications at all to the rifle stock. The trigger works! :) Timney states in their documentation that...

Hunting Colorado Mule Deer and Elk. I am using my 7mm Rem Mag as a backup rifle only and already have excellent 150 gr Nolser Partition loads but wanted one other nice hunting load. In the past with another 7mm Rem Mag, I had pressure issues with the Sierra 160 gr gameking but that could just...

I have been wanting to ask this question for some time now. (If I have asked it before and forgot about asking it, attribute that to getting old) :lol: 7mm Rem Mag; guestimating the ballistics of 2 different weight bullets (Using JBM web page calculations): Partition 150 gr 400 yards -16.5...

7mm Remington Mag and 150 gr Partition Any experience for powder and acquired ballistics? (charge, accuracy and FPS) I thought I was set on RL17, but now also looking at H1000 and H4831sc. (All supposed temp insensitive) P.S. Sorry Scotty but I am going to try these PT 150s. The SD, B.C...

This is just a preliminary review. Once I mount it on my new rilfe (not yet purchased - 30 days), I will write up an official product review. Here is the quick skinny. Because I do not know if it is politically correct on this site to list a Vendor's site, especially where the vendor's site is...

I will be reloading again this Elk season for a Remington 700 30-06. Shots are going to be most likely only 350 yards or less. After looking at some stats, I am not sure if I should go with the 180 gr or 165 gr Partitions. From what I have recently read, it looks like the 165 gr Partition...
