I'll post some pictures this weekend. I've got two more load progressions with 100V and 140 custom comps to try out. The first one looks great on paper at 100yds, but was higher ES/SD than I like. It was the first load(3 shots) through a clean bore so not sure how that effects consistency, but...

I was curious how much seating depth affected velocity/pressure in my 284 and so I loaded up 4 different COLs (5 rounds each) with everything else the same and ran them all through the chrony. I'll have to go through my notes, but the avg. velocity difference between the longest and the shortest...

I've seen the same thing as it is one of the few powders my wife could find for me on a trip to tri cities. I use it in my 284 and am working on loads for the 6.5 creedmoor with it. LOVE====>H100V :mrgreen:

Ha, guess it was R Flowers that post it under optics. Oops.

Great review! It was pretty helpful while I was researching what to get for my 358 win project gun. I just placed an order for the 1.25-4X20 with a FireDot 4 reticle. Went with Warne PRW for mounts. I also read your update post on the optics page. It's nice to have info like that to look at...

A pack-in elk hunting trip for a nice bull is on the list too and if I'm lucky with the draw (have the points so shouldn't be too much of a stretch) a buddy and I are planning to make this happen this Fall. A 300ish bull isn't an anomaly there, so with some hard work and a bit of luck I think we...

An Ibex is Number 1 on my list. Whether it's in Mongolia or one of the 'stans I haven't decided yet. I think from a tourist standpoint I'd like it to be Mongolia. Some wild open country there. Plus any country that hunts wolves with eagles is cool in my book :mrgreen:

Thanks for sharing Scotty! That should speed up development a bit 8) Ran some wipeout in it overnight, brushed it and patched it out. Then put a second session of wipeout in it and it came out pretty dang clean, barely any color at all. I'm thinking at this point that a single wipeout session...

This weekend brought us some beautiful range weather so I grabbed the wife and her Creedmoor to test some loads. Here are some preliminary results. Left to Right: 140 Nosler Custom Comp. over 34gr Varget at 2.802"COL, 140 BT(same load), Hornady Match 120A-Max, Hornady Superformance 129 SST...

+1 I was thinking something very similar.

Given my delivery system for these two bullets I won't be taking shots on game in excess of 300 yds, so from a practical standpoint the numbers don't really matter as I will be shooting to 300 before ever fielding the round. It was just a curiosity thing on my part. I also read an article...

The listed BC for the 35 cal 225 AccuBond is .421 while the BC for the 225 Partition is .430. Does anyone else find this odd? It just seems counterintuitive that a boat-tailed, ballistic-tipped bullet would have a lower BC than a flat-based, shorter bullet of the same caliber and weight...

Good info guys, thanks! I've got both offerings from Nosler in 225gr 35 cal on my wishlist already, I was just curious if the 180 flatbase tsx had been tried by anyone. Many people seem to really like the 225 Sierra GK for the 358 win also. Dr Mike I'd imagine that a 250gr in the 358 win would...

Definitely an awesome round in a sharp looking rig! I'm sure that those of you who shoot large-bore breaked (broke? lol) rifles will know what I mean when I say the recoil, while forceful, is tamed to a not unpleasant shove. I'd say Jake's comparison to a 270 is accurate, thought I would say...

I've been looking at doing something similar to this for a while, but I wanted it set up like a scout rifle with iron sights available and the ability to forward mount a scope. I looked at doing it just about like you've done, but I found a used savage scout(newer model with accu-trigger and...

Agreed that you don't want red-hot, but I think 450 is too low. This article discusses the entire process in great detail.http://www.6mmbr.com/annealing.html You can scroll down to the section titled: Optimal Case Temperatures for Successful Annealing. 750 degree Tempilaq would be a very good...

Jeff Quinn from Gun Blast was printing one-holers with that rifle and cartridge. Impressed me!

Have one on order! Hopefully I'll get to spend some more time with it at the range this weekend. If I do, I'll photograph and share the results. Have Hornady Superformance ammo w/129 SST, Hornady Match ammo w/120 a-max and working on some handloads with varget and 140BTs. Just got through the...

I'd imagine some of your other rifles crowd to the back of your safe when you put that one in! Too bad there isn't any maneating broccoli running around the farm that needs to be put down :lol: Love your webbing choice with the stainless; that looks sharp! You better not go blowing holes in...

Spot on. I agree, they are handsome and would undoubtedly fit the bill. The only advantage (if you can call it that :grin: ) I can think of to building one is that I get to play around with the project as funds become available instead of fronting all the cash up front in a point, click, done...
