    barrel makes and twist rates for 338 lapau

    Re: barrel makes and twist rates for 338 lapau I chose the Broughton 1 in 9.3 twist 30" over the Rock and could not be more happy. These are the 2 that Jared and Dave @ APA recommended. Your friend will love the 338 Lapua. When I shoot it next to my other rifles, it is very clear how powerful...

    Which 6.5mm in a XCR compact? 260 vs 47L ?

    Re: Which 6.5mm in a XCR compact? 260 vs 47L ? I just went thru the same decision and went with the 6.5x47. The main reason was brass quality (I hate brass prep.). Also, on a short action 260, if you seat the bullet where it should be, you may not be able to magazine with the long bullets. I...

    7mm 180jlk-need ogive to tip measurement

    Could someone with some of the 7mm 180 jlk's (swampworks) measure a few of them from the ogive to the tip and reply. I'm about to order some of their 6.5 and 7 bullets, but need to know how much longer (ogive to tip) the 7mm 180 is vs. the 180 berger. I may not be able to magazine the jlk's. Thanks

    Movie Theater Old timer in "Shooter"

    Re: Old timer in "Shooter" heavy barrel, I'm there with you. What was he looking for, or just movie mojo. I have a Marlin 22 with about a 10 lb trigger; shoot several thousand times over 1-2 days, that's the only way I could figure how someone could get calluses from a trigger. I thought this...

    What am i doing wrong guys?

    Re: What am i doing wrong guys? I had the same problem with virgin 7wsm winchester brass. My neck thickness variance was not the major problem, it was the necks were crooked (off center) coming out of the shoulder. If you have a decent chamber, they will correct after you shoot them once. You...

    6.5x47 on the way--need advice on bullet

    Re: 6.5x47 on the way--need advice on bullet Mr. Kirk (or anyone), have you shot the 130 jlk against the 130 berger with similar velocities @ distance. If the 130 jlk really has a bc of .620 vs. .552 for berger it should be obvious (roughly 20" @ 1000yds). I would like to know if someone has...

    Is RL-17 too fast for the 7 WSM?

    Re: Is RL-17 too fast for the 7 WSM? 63 grains 4831sc, 180 Berger, BR2's and win brass of course. Gives me 2900-2920 fps out of a 25" Lawton, GAP rifle with GAP 7000 (Lawton) action. Bergers are .010 into the rifling. Shoots great from 100-1200 yards. (DISCLAIMER: If you want to copy this...

    Advanced Marksmanship What size steel targets?

    Re: What size steel targets? glock24, I have 2 steel targets from MGM. 1 is 18x30 IPSC w/ a stand and other is 24x30 w/ a stand. My favorite by far is the 24x30. I can shoot multiple groups w/out painting out to 1200yds and plus @ 1000yds+ the 18x30 ipsc can be difficult to get on with...

    6.5x47 on the way--need advice on bullet

    Re: 6.5x47 on the way--need advice on bullet I shot 1 deer with a smk and it performed perfect, so if the scenar does similar then I definitely will not cross it out. Have you tried the 130 berger or 130 swampworks against the 139 scenar?

    Is RL-17 too fast for the 7 WSM?

    Re: Is RL-17 too fast for the 7 WSM? Is it ok to post a hot load on here. I don't want any liabilty if someone hurts themself. I start low with all my loads but eventually work up to a hot but safe load for my guns and temperature.

    7WSM neck Dia.

    Re: 7WSM neck Dia. I probaly should full length size first, but the rifle shoots .25-.5 moa without, and I hate brass prep so I probaly will not. I talked to one of the Sinclair guys, he said runout from my circumstance would not hurt accuracy-that the brass would expand and correct excessive...

    Is RL-17 too fast for the 7 WSM?

    Re: Is RL-17 too fast for the 7 WSM? I would think it would be a very fast powder for the 7wsm and the 180's, but who knows. I use H4831sc with the 180's (25" lawton barrel)which shoots great and have tried Re22 (shot good), H1000 (shot so-so), and Retumbo (no good). The 7wsm has plenty of...

    Rifle Scopes Which rangefinder?

    Re: Which rangefinder? I've had the Swaro for over a year now and would purchase it again. I have ranged large objects at 1800+ and have no problems ranging my steel out to 1200 which is the most I can shoot. The only gripe I have is the reticle could be a little finer. The glass is really...

    Gunsmithing Barrels who do you think is the best for 6.5

    Re: Barrels who do you think is the best for 6.5 I hope Broughton is the best:)--that's what I have coming for my 6.5x47. It was between Broughton and Krieger for me and since my smith deals with Broughton, that solved it.

    7WSM neck Dia.

    Re: 7WSM neck Dia. With 180 Bergers I use a .312 bushing if I'm remembering correctly. I'm with yall on the Norma brass deal. Why do they make 270wsm brass and no 7wsm? This is an awesome cartridge with only junk brass available. When I first started loading for 7wsm, I was completely puzzled...

    6.5x47 on the way--need advice on bullet

    As much as I'd love to shoot the 140's, I'm reading this case is not designed for them. I have it narrowed down to the 130 Berger hunting vld, the 123 Scenar or the 130 Swampworks. I have experience with Bergers (7wsm-180 hunting vld) and love it, so I'm leaning that way, but the 123 scenar...
