Thanks Gerry

Dan I have used this combination for a few years now. Killed a decent 8 pt last year with it. shot was a complete pass through at 259 yards. Deer was dead right there. Posted about my load a while back. Used RL22. Can't see the pics now. link below...

I have several boxes of 7mm 120 grain ballistic tips with blue tips. Got them from SPS a while back. JohnB

Alderman That 250 yard group in the picture I posted was from cartridges loaded with standard Hornady dies. They were all I could find at the time, but they worked great. JohnB Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Alderman This is the load I am using. Nothing special just copied it off the box of factory 140 Amax's. JohnB

Nice load Guy. I think the heavy 30's are where the 30-06 separates itself from the 308. If you like the idea of the heavy 30's don't overlook the 210 ABLR. I have been shooting the 190 ABLR with excellent results at the range and on game. Recently bought some 210 ABLR's to work up a load...

JD I didn't chronograph it. I will do that in time. Used Quickload and optimum barrel time to pick the load. Should be around 2761 according to quickload Other powders can get another 100 fps according to Quickload. I will eventually try some of them. I started with H4831sc because I have...

Nice looking rifle. I like the fast twist. Anxious to see how it shoots for you. Congratulations JohnB

Meredith Rifles of Athens, Al just finished building a 284 Win for me. Picked it up Friday. Mounted a 3-15x50 Zeiss HD5 with RZ800 and shot it Yesterday. Still haven't stretched it past 100 yds, but that will come. Very happy so far. Stiller Tac 300 Long Action, 20MOA rail Bartlein 5R, 1...

Alderman You can drill and tap a case that has been fired in your chamber for use with the Hornady tool. Then you will know that you have an accurate measurement. You could also measure the difference in the headspace measurement of the modified case and a case that has been fired in your...

Any opinions on barrel length? I was running different barrel lengths in quickload and watching OBT. Seemed like I was just tuning the chamber pressure. With a 26 inch barrel the chamber pressure was low to reach OBT. Couldn't get to higher node. As I shortened the barrel the velocity at...

This is why I am having trouble deciding. Seems like both are capable of incredible accuracy. I may just have to toss a coin. :grin: JohnB
