    Remember the Great .30-06 Debate 10 Years Ago?

    Re: Remember the Great .30-06 Debate 10 Years Ago? Shane, Got no brake. Although the rifle weighs 16.5 lbs, even the 190's play havoc on my collar bone in the prone position. That's why I had the 6.5 Swede built for F Class. Don

    Remember the Great .30-06 Debate 10 Years Ago?

    Just got to thinking. It was about 10 years ago that MontanaMarine and myself were both developing the modern .30-06 Tactical Rifle load. You know, the 190SMK load at 2900fps that guys were telling us couldn't be done? All the great posts are gone, what with several Sniper's Hide software...

    Range Report 30-06, 208amax, H4350

    Re: 30-06, 208amax, H4350 A little history on the 1903 rifles. The heat treat problem was solved during WW1 (problem receivers are those with serial numbers below 800,000 made at Springfield Armory, and below 286,506 made at Rock Island Arsenal), so all WW2 produced M1903's and 03-A3's...

    Range Report Questions on Lake City M118 173 grain match ammo

    Re: Questions on Lake City M118 173 grain match ammo mjh, The problem is the method of bullet construction. A FMJBT bullet simply cannot compete with a modern, commercially made HPBT. In my experience with thousands of the M72/M118 bullets, they are a 1.25MOA bullet at best. Don

    308 Reload Problem - HELP

    Re: 308 Reload Problem - HELP I would suggest you drop back at least .5gr in your load. You're using IMI brass, which is heavy and has a case capacity similar to Lake City. If that doesn't do it, then examine your chamber for imperfections that may causing it. Don

    Re: Looking for slow temp INSENSITIVE 30-06 powder Forget about Retumbo in the .30-06, too slow. doc76251 is correct about the steep pressure curve of H4831SC in relation to RL22, but here's some empirical data that Quick Load only hints at: Full power loads with H4831SC vs. RL22 will result...
