    OCW gurus, Help Needed...

    Re: OCW gurus, Help Needed... Yes, I have this posted there for a while. Just got a response from Dan himself. He also agrees with the nodes. I was just thinking the same thing about the jam as well. I will play with both areas, and see what comes out of it. Thanks for all the replies.

    OCW gurus, Help Needed...

    Been trying to wrap my head around this method for load workup. I am limited to a 100 yard range for development, and this seems like the method that will work best at this range. So, can anyone tell me if I am doing this right?? Components I used were: Rifle is a Savage target action...

    My Rem 700SA in 6SuperX

    Re: My Rem 700SA in 6SuperX Would a 6X47L run in the same ballpark, pushing 105-108's, while burning less powder? Or would 6superlr have an edge? I mean if you will run them 3050, then the 6x47L can do that, but if there is an accuracy edge at 3100-3200 with out bullet failure, then the...

    My Rem 700SA in 6SuperX

    Re: My Rem 700SA in 6SuperX I was also thinking of getting this chamber. With a 1:8 barrel you must intend to shoot 105-108's. I'd like to see where the accuracy node is at with those weight bullets. In Roberts article, he says he runs 115 right near 2900 to 3k fps. If 105-108s can go...
