    Savage Long Range Precision Caliber selection help

    Re: Savage Long Range Precision Caliber selection help Rifle Shooter has an article this month on this rifle in 6.5CM. His shot <1/2MOA at 100 yards with factory Amax ammo. Hard to argue against that. As far as brass issues go, if you want Lapua brass for the 6.5CM, fireform Lapua .22-250...

    308...different loads for different distances?

    Re: 308...different loads for different distances? If only 100 yards, you may want to try the OCW (Optimal Charge Weight) way of load development. (I use this system anyway!) OCW webpage

    7mm SAUM Questions

    Re: 7mm SAUM Questions I would shoot the 180g Hybrids over the 180g VLDs if I were you. The BC is higher and the Hybrids are not very sensitive to OAL. I shoot the Hybrids out of my .284 Shehane and it shot well from 5 off to 40 off. I can't say the same things for the 180g VLDs, they...

    Range Report 6.5x47 vs 260 and 6.5creedmore

    Re: 6.5x47 vs 260 and 6.5creedmore I think the brass argument completely goes away when Lapua brass is made for all three chamberings, although the 6.5CM needs to be formed. The 6.5 CM is nothing more than a 6.5-250AI. It would be easy to take Lapua .22-250 brass, Unique and Cream Of...

    30-06 bullet opinions and advice?

    Re: 30-06 bullet opinions and advice? Varget with the heavies in the .30-06 wouldnt be my first choice. I suspect you would get better velocities with better case fill with slower powders in the .30-06 with the heavies. Hodgdon lists with 180g bullets, H4350 at 57.5g with a velocity of 2798...

    4831 sc users

    Re: 4831 sc users I have used it from low 20s to 100s without any noticeable change in velocity. Very temp resistant in my chambering (284).

    30-06 bullet opinions and advice?

    Re: 30-06 bullet opinions and advice? I think the new 230g Berger Hybrid might be perfect for the .30-06/300WM/300WSM. I wish I had more information on release date and BC numbers though.

    Take on Primers?

    Re: Take on Primers? Here is one non-scientific target that I shot to do a primer test. The load was worked up using an OCW test, then OAL testing. Here are three different primers using that OCW charge. Left group Fed 210M, Middle Fed 215M, right BR2. Retumbo powder in .25-06 shot round...

    H335 for 308 ???

    Re: H335 for 308 ??? For the 155s, look at either IMR8208XBR or ARComp powder (Graf has it now) if you want to throw it in your Dillon. Both should work well with the 155s and will meter slicky through your Dillon without the temp sensitivity of H335. 2000-MR would be another good option...

    First Ladder Test - TRG 42 300WM

    Re: First Ladder Test - TRG 42 300WM 77.5-79g looks pretty good to me. In my experience with H1000 in other calibers, the Wolf LRM primers worked better for me than the Wolf LR primers. Wolf primers are known for being a little less hot than comparable primers, so you may get better ES/SD...
