Yes, it is my understanding that the BAR can be quite accurate. Hopefully mine will be!

Thanks. I couldn't resist asking to see if anyone had the same setup. I just made my loads, so hopefully next weekend will find me doing barrel break in and load development.

Hi guys, been a long while. I just got a new BAR Shortrac in .308. I am hoping to shoot 165gr. Ballistic Tips through it with Varget and Federal 210M primers. Just wondering if anyone has specific loads they like with this combination. I couldn't get my A bolt to shoot 165's that well, but I'm...

click on this link to see the kind of scope I was talking about. I didn't realize that they make "normal" scopes as well. Cool...

Is this an older Unertl with the spring on it? I love those old scopes, but the ones I have used were for smallbore competition and had rubber eye cups on them. I can't imagine shooting anything bigger than a .22 with them as the eye relief was very short. As far as the mounts, I can't really...

I really like the .325WSM and have found my particular rifle to love a 200 grain Accubond with a CCI 200 primer, winchester brass, and 67.0 grains of H4350. This is over max in some load books. It is safe in my gun and shoots much better than any other load with H4350 that I have tried. I have...

No, the first models were Vari-X III, then came VXIII, now it is VX3. The VXIII is no longer in production, it is now the VX3.

Just a heads up...I have bought 5 new Leupold VXIII's since they stopped making them. I have bought three 2.5-8X36mm and two 3.5-10X40mm. You can get a brand new2.5-8X36mm on Nosler's sight for $359.00. I have been getting the 3.5-10 for under $400. The 1.5-5X20, 1.75-6X32 and the 2.5-8X36...

I will do that. I just picked up a VXIII 2.5-8X36mm and should be picking up the rifle next week. Have you seen one of these? It is a SHOT show exclusive and is not cataloged with Browning. Kind of cool. I am not typically a lever guy, but the BLR is just a bolt with a lever anyway! The gun...

I am in the process of paying for a new BLR stainless and dura touch mossy oak brush camo in .358win. I am looking for load data using Hodgdon powder. I really like to use Hodgdon powders because they are what I am most familiar with. In your opinion, what are the best combos you guys have seen...

I just bought my first semi auto pistol. It is a Ruger P97DC. I have 200 grain Hornady XTP's to load. I am in need of input on which powder to use. I am looking for reliability. I have never loaded anything with a taper crimp, and I have never loaded for a semi auto. Any input would be greatly...

Factory ammo does fit, but some are more snug than I would like. They do chamber and feel as though they will function. I can't see myself selling this one, being so accurate and all!

My tripod is on the fritz, so I have nothing to hold the chrony. I will have it fixed up real soon. I am curious as well.

Well I have an interesting story about my new to me Browning Mountain Ti in .300 WSM. I have loaded for my Stainless Stalker in .325 WSM, so I am not new to the short mags. I had a ton of trouble getting the brass sized to fit in my chamber correctly. I could not get teh brass to "small" enough...

It is totally free floated from the factory. The barrel looks to be of identical contour to all of my other Brownings. I have never had one need a pressure point, so I will keep my fingers crossed that this one is no different. I am just having him bed the action and leave the barrel channel as...

Well, I have the new Talley mounts on the Mountain Ti. The only thing is, my gunsmith has the gun still to do the trigger and to glass bed the whole length of the receiver. He has done my other 2 A bolts and the guy does amazing work. I love the bedding because he indexes the mounting bolts...

I am not a .30-06 expert by any means, but I do have a lot of experience with short barrels. I shoot Encore and Contender pistols a lot and have found that a faster powder is usually more productive than going to a hotter primer. I would say to try Varget or H4895 to see if you get more...

I plan to shoot 165 grain Accubonds in my new .300 WSM. I have H4350, H4831sc and lots of different primers. Anybody shooting these bullets in a .300WSM? Let's hear them. Rob

Haha!

Yeah I just spoke with my gunsmith and he said they are different than the regular A bolt. Well, I wish I knew that before I bought the mounts. Oh, well. I am getting a set of Talley's from him tomorrow. Rob
