    Long Action. AICS 30-06 mags?

    I am shooting a .308 on a LA Stiller, but HS mags single stack, flawless.

    Browning A bolt

    Ha, I don't get into p*&%$ contests, but I agree 1000 percent with WeiserBucks, and that goes for all Brownings. If you ever try to take down a Browning bolt for cleaning make sure no wives or kids are around. They didn't know you knew those words!!

    barrel life with different bullets

    Just my 2 cents, but after a ton of reading and texting to more knowledgeable folks, heavier bullets wear barrels faster than lighter ones. I asked this same question years ago on a BR site and the overwhelming reply was heavier bullets. The reasoning is it takes more to get the heavier bullet...

    7mm Rem Mag and 162gr Amax to ELD-M switch.

    I can't answer for the 7 mag, but I could not get them to shoot with the old 208 Amax or my 215 Bergers in my .300WM, not sure why; so they just sit on my shelf.

    Pros/Cons of 5R rifling

    If you have that many rounds on a 300WM and it still shoots; I would find another barrel like that, Just sayin!! I have had both type barrels, now a 5R Bartlein. I can't tell if one is more accurate than the other. Both shot very well and handled heat well too, regarding longevity.

    6mm rdf

    I used them in a 6XC. BC is higher than they state. I was always 2/10 high at all ranges to 1000 with them. Used the same charge as with 105's and 107 sierra's.

    260 Rem H4831

    46.5 H4831 SC, 142 SMK, 2890. Very accurate in my gun also, 136 scenar L 46.8 H4831 SC just under 2920 but great accuracy. I have shot BR-2's and 210's with little change in accuracy or speed. No pressure signs of any kind. I like 4831 in a 260 with 136 up. My barrel is 28" so speeds are up a tad.

    Lapua Senar'S

    I am running 123's in my .260, jumping 10/1000's and 136's at 2.800. Both shoot well. I am in the process of running 185's in my 300 just to see what they do. Jumpimng them 10/1000's as well.

    As far as 7mm cartridges go, can the 280 Rem. be made into very accurate rifle?

    I said earlier the 280 was a good round, but as others have said the 280AI will really shine for you. It gives up very little to the 7 mag and has less recoil. If you go that route keep in mind there are two versions of the AI. One is the traditional and the other is the Nosler AI, which is a...

    300 Win Mag all day long. I shoot mine more than any other caliber I have.

    As far as 7mm cartridges go, can the 280 Rem. be made into very accurate rifle?

    Short answer, YES! I built one on an older Savage action for my son-in-law and it shoots very well. He does not spend time with it, but I can drive it well out to 700 with 160's. It has a similar velocity of an '06, same case design etc. Most any 7mm bullet will have good B/C's and will shoot...
