    difference between 180gr Partitions PPT and 180 Partitions with Cannelure

    if the ones with the cannelure are also the PPT , they should fly the same . I haven't seen the cannelure make any difference in the exact same bullet .

    Boyds stocks

    the Marlin XT22 rifle I bought the Boyds stock for , has a different set up . the rear bolt goes into the action . the front bolt goes in a threaded bushing . this bushing is dovetailed into the barrel . the bushing floats in the dovetail . what holds things lined up is stock pressure against...

    Boyds stocks

    No , I didn't see where getting pillars was an option . this Marlin is a weird set up , how it mounts . I'm going to give it a try in this new stock , and hopefully it shoots well from a bipod .

    Boyds stocks

    SpyPoint Cellular Game Cameras.

    if I was going to get into the cell cameras , I'd take a look at the Cuddie back system that has a master camera and the other cameras link to the master camera . I think you can link up to ten cameras . this system uses one phone plan . I haven't researched it , only what I kind of remember...

    Reload for 7mm 08 using IMR 4350

    6.5 CM light loads

    I have no problem loading the full 60% reduction . if I were you , I'd round the 23.7 grain off to 24.0 and start loading . watch for low PSI signs . usually it's hangfire , and primers backing out , smoke back the brass case body . I have not seen these while using H4895 . I've used...

    Reload for 7mm 08 using IMR 4350

    yes that case fill % is safe . I like to work in the 95% - 105% case fill range , at max load . what you are seeing is , this powder is a little slow for this combo . you are going to see a higher case fill , and a lower velocity . this powder maxes out at 50.1 grain 110.7% case fill ...
