    Range Report 460 S&W Rifle Info Request

    I had a 460 pistol and the setup you have. I loaded for it and tried both the 200 and 275 gr Barnes. I used h110 and AA#9 for powders. My loads from the katadin were right around an inch at 100 yards. The problem I had is that I needed mark 4 rings just to hold my scope from sliding due to...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner military 5-25x56

    I have the 5-25x56 with MSR reticle and love it. I will make most rifles look small, its a big scope. And if you are used to looking through a night force scope with a cross hair as thin as an N-PR1 the center cross of the MSR is going to look like two car bumpers crossed. I have been using...

    First Build, 22" 6.5 Creedmoor. Thoughts?

    I have a 28" barrel on my creedmoor and my best accuracy seems to be closer to 2700 fps. My second in progress is going to be a 24" so go 22 and we can compare.

    300 rum

    I just finished developing a load for mine with the 215 hybrids and retumbo. I'm loaded coal at 3.745". I run them out of CIP mags. A 168 berger vld hunter and RL25 gets me about 18 MOA at 1000 yards. Perform a ladder test and the cartridge will amaze you. Just tell the bench next to you to...

    Hunting and target

    The first 2 are target and the third is a hunting bullet. I know there are people that have taken game with the amazes but I don't shoot enough big game to have to save 10 cents. Out of the 3, I would use the accutips. I recently developed load with 140 berger vlds both the target and hunting...

    Should I change my current build from 6.5cm to 260?

    Don't worry about getting backed in to the H4350 corner. I have a CM now and have shot ragged holes with 760win, h4831sc, 4831imr and of course h4350. I have a second CM being built on a surgeon and ax chassis. I use 140 berger vlds and hunters with h4831sc I chose the CM due to the design...

    Trying to get a build underway!

    I have a trued 700 action that was Teflon coated and a Defiance action that is cerakoted. The 700 does seem to be a bit easier to cycle due to the Teflon. I went with a 300 Rum manners T5a normal fill with mini-chassis 29" hart barrel magnum 1000 contour (close to MTU) Hollands muzzle brake...

    What color of Cerakote??????

    Just wanted to see if anyone has gone the same route before. I can picture what it will look like. But it would be nice to see a pic. I'm not worried about what people will think. If I did, I wouldn't have picked purple for my last build. It ended up matching a manners molded midnight really...

    What color of Cerakote??????

    Brunt Bronze is my second pic. I have a rifle in Black, OD green, and custom purple and tungsten mix that is mistaken for sniper grey. I wanted something a little different. Not worried about blending in as I wear an Elmo winter hat for deer hunting. Have to give them a chance right?

    I'll be on either bobcat 2 or coyote 2 for a bench. This is mostly a bench gun dominated comp. I'm in the 12 lb class with a 6.5 creedmoor in a pierce Ti action and manners T5a with a mini-chassis. I'm one of the few that use a tactical style rifle.

    Don't forget Ridgway, PA. North of Dubois and has a 1000 yard range. There is a VBR "varmint bench rest" match on Aug 2nd and 3rd. I'm a member and wouldn't mind showing you guys around. The VBR is a steel target match from 850 to 1000 yards. You shoot silhouettes of crows, ground hogs...

    6.5 Creedmoor forming

    Nevermind. now that I had read your posts, I had to try another. I just have a Hornady FL die. I sized with the expander out, then went through the expander to neck turn and then back to the FL die without the expander. fed brass was tight to chamber and Win brass worked like a charm...
