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...

Grabbed my wife a Browning A-Bolt II in 6.5 CM so now I get to start loading for it! Seems like a pretty capable little cartridge. As far as I know, Hornady is the only company manufacturing brass for it at this time. Is that right? I'd be interested in hearing any experiences you guys have...

I've been looking for something in 260 rem for my wife's hunting rifle. Been watching online and 260 seems to be pretty popular as most guns chambered in it go for a fair penny. I had the chance to spend Saturday perusing some gun shops with a friend and in about the 4th store we go to he finds...

I'm planning on treating myself to a stock upgrade for the 284. I'm looking at Mcmillan and Stockade (not many choices in aftermarket for the centerfeed Savages) and I'm having a hard time choosing so I need some advice. Mcmillan only inlets the A-5 or HTG for the centerfeed DBM Savage actions...

Finally got around to shooting 160ABs in my 284, which is what I originally intended to shoot with it! After a few charge variations I settled on 50.8gr RL-17 and decided to look at seating depth. The top group (2.983" COL) is what I had done my initial testing at and is pretty much exactly what...

So I was weight sorting the remainder of the 162 amax factory blems that I used during break in last night and noticed an interestin pattern. I can't graph it on this computer, but out of the 54 that I weighed I'd guess that over 90% fell into one of two categories. 159.6-160.4 and 162-162.5...

150 Nosler Partition fired into three 2.5 gallon chemical jugs filled with water at 100 yds. Penetrated through jugs 1 and 2 and left a dimple on the back of jug 3. For comparison, this same load at 100 yds went through 5 milk jugs and nicked the 6th on it's way out. Estimated impact velocity...

50 rounds into my new barrel from Pac Nor. Workin on loads for spike season. Seems this one will do the job! Chrony didn't like the late light, but will try again in the morning. They should be moving high 2900s; may be breakin 3k.

I have to send in two more dummy rounds to Pac Nor for the pre-fit they are building me, as they can't find the ones I sent in June :cry: . It is to be chambered in .284 win. Any suggestions, considerations or things you learned the hard way by having a barrel throated to a specific...

So I am somewhat enamored with the 358 win. I've got a 20" 308 win barrel that I'm not using. Does someone know of a good smith that can rebore my 308 win to 358 win? Any idea of cost? Thanks guys, atm

So I just got my new Lee 3-jaw chuck from Midway set up with the drill chuck adaptor. Got the neck turner adjusted for my 284 win (trimming to .0155 wall thickness) and trimmed up a few practice cases with the cordless drill set on low speed. Brought my variation from about .0012 to more like...

How much does your COL have an effect on your chamber pressure and load velocity assuming your bullet position relative to the lands remains the same? As I understand it, if you could have your rifle throated to allow you to seat your bullets out as far as possible (assuming your mag allows a...

FYI... Midway is having a sale on factory blemished bullets. If you can't find what you're looking for at SPS you might check here...

The first few times I hunted big game was on our farm. As such, it was pretty easy to load them up and bring them to the shop to hang for skinning/cleaning. Then it was off to the butcher and a few weeks and many dollars later we would pick up our cut'n'wrapped meat. This was very convenient...

Was about to suggest Harold Vaughn, but he was born in '24 and retired from his professional career in '86, so I'm not sure if he would still qualify...

So here's the scoop: I've shot a 308 win for a while and haven't had any complaints, but for the last year or so I've been itchin to try out something else, maybe with a little ballistic edge over the 308 (not hard I know :mrgreen: ) I wanted a 7mm designed around the 140-160 gr bullets that...

Hi, I just registered a few days ago, and when I went to login, I noticed I had spelled my name wrong; it looks like I spell with a lisp lol! Can I change that? Went to the edit account settings page and it looks like I can change everything but my username? If it can't be changed can you just...
