Nas3 308 Brass

following this thread
Same here .. but
'asking' if anyone here doing the Nas3 300bo brass in a Boltaction loading high Vel, only ( NOT subsonic ) ?
Or is there a Thread already done about subject here already on the SHcom ?

Pretty interested if this Brass make a worthwhile advantage for 110 Vmax's over just standard brass out the bolt gun .

308 Short(er) Range Scope?

No price limitation, although I do like diamond in the rough value scopes that punch above their clas.

600yds and in.
LPVO with best 1x non distortion, 1-8/10.
MPVO with side parallax, 10-15X.

SFP preferably, but FFP if I can see the reticle with illumination.

Capped or locking wind turret.
Dont know what your timeline is but we have a pretty good shot at Leupold having some SFP Mk5HD 2-10x by first quarter. Super nice scope for certain applications.

OP: Are you seeking consensus, or are you looking for the opinions of others with experience (or similar) in your particular cartridge and rifle of choice?

I view Christiansen the same way I do a Bergara; you can get a great-shooting one or end up with a dud, or something in between. There is just too much of a disparity from one rifle to the next man. Been that way for a decade too.

Since you have a .280 Ackley, you aren't going to be adding a whole lot to your repertoire. A 16", 7BC will probably scratch your itch for the new hawt-ness... but are you gaining anything over a 24", .280 Ackley? No. And since you'll have to wear ears for a 16" magnum rifle anyway... it is starting to look like the only real reason to purchase is simply because you want to.

^ Nothing wrong with that either. Your money, use it how you want. I think though that you'll probably enjoy it less as time goes on. I say this having overlapped several cartridges before myself.

Looking for a shorter option with similar killing power to the 280 Ackley. The overall length with a suppressor is the only negative to my current setup. My current .280 Ackley is about 53" with the suppressor attached.

When I am in short range situations (150 yards and under), I actually hunt with a .308 Win bolt action pistol with a 12 inch barrel and a suppressor, or a 16" lever action in .45-70. Just looking for similar overall length, but enough ass to reach out further.

I genuinely wanted feedback, and I got it.

Most appreciated.

What is the perceived/experienced issue with CA? The one I have owned, and a couple more I have shot, have been accurate, with no real issues. I did know of one that got sent back for stick extraction, but that was resolved quickly and with minimal hassle.

Regarding 7mm BC, there are a number of folks who have confirmed or exceeded stated ballistics.

That said, I could care less what the headstamp reads. Is there another cartridge that can do 195's at 2850 from a 20" barrel? The only thing I ever disliked about a 7mm Rem Mag was the long barrel. Same with 270 Weatherby, and 300 WM. Had all of these, and sold all, because the long barrels were a monumental pain in small trucks, UTV's, box blinds, and ladder stands.

I haven't bought anything yet, and absolutely could change my mind. Also willing to admit that I might be chasing unicorns.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Ok, you can’t tell, but it’s an AXMC 300NM with a TBAC 338 Ultra Gen 1. The big square is the backstop at 100yds. The 10” round steel targets are handgun targets. She decided to hangout between the 50 and 75yd targets while I was trying to shoot a pressure test on a handload (I didn’t bother to put up an actual paper target because I was only looking at pressures and MV).

I see you have several of the NRA firearms library books, as do I. Have you priced those on the used market? They are worth a ton more than we paid. I think I have like 30 of em.
