    6.5L vs. 6.5C vs. .260?

    Re: 6.5L vs. 6.5C vs. .260? When looking at problem in 6mm, I found that a 6mm Remington, with a one in 7 twist, and on a long action, trumped a 243 substantially on performance ( read velocity and accuracy)... Velocity equaled a 6mm/06.. with less powder... so building a long range rifle...

    Re: 6.5x55 over 260Rem owning and shooting both, I wouldn't be without either one... they are essentially two shades of the same color... just remember most 6.5 bullets are meant to perform at the old Swede velocity ranges... so being able to push them faster, doesn't necessarily provide...

    Stevens 200 build up advice

    Re: Stevens 200 build up advice My last 4 ER Shaw barrels have all been very tight shooters, better than any factory barrel I have had... the only down side is the very very long wait to get one..... IT&D Gunsmithing out of Ohio, can set you up with a Douglas barrel, (cheaper than the...

    Re: 30-06 POWDER RECOMENDATION I use 4064 for bullet weights 180 grains and under.. and 4831 SC for bullet weights over that, if I want to push them.. RL 17 looks like a good choice although I haven't played with it very much...
