    Hammer hunters in 7mm SAUM

    If you can find it, try RL-26. You won't be disappointed. It's about as scarce as Barnes bullets. Good luck.

    Hammer hunters in 7mm SAUM

    Include the Barnes 168 LRX in your load development. I did and found they did better than the Hammers with much better BC. Nothing against Hammers, but my rifle liked the LRX better. Proof barrel.

    Do All Hunting Round Decision? Rifle Build help

    300 WM: I’d like to avoid reloading to headspace off the belt So don't. Size the brass the same way you do brass without the belt and problem solved. Sized this way the case headspaces off the shoulder and the belt is irrelevant. Hard to walk past the 300 WM. Good luck.

    .308 win barrel length 20" or 24" for 830 yards

    This exactly. Google Secrets of the Houston Warehouse. Interesting read. Even more interesting experiments.

    Blaser tactical 2...looking for retail sources

    Great rifle. Congratulations. You should know there was a recall for the earlier model, the LRS II. Start with the gun unloaded but cocked. Press up ahead of the magazine. If it fires send it back to Blaser. I have no relationship with Elmer and have never owned one of his barrels, but...

    New 300 Norma Mag build Twist rate question

    The 147 eld-m were coming apart in my eight twist 6.5 CM last year which was the last time I shot them. Not blowing up but jacket separation for sure.

    One of a kind Mausingfield - Update Charge weight test complete 4-9-2023 POST#49

    As I understand it, the bore rider throat reamer Long Rifles Inc. uses leaves you with a very short free bore so that "bore rider" bullets engage the rifling only at the back of the bullet. With a normal bullet where the ogive is near the front, the short free bore allows limits you to a...

    One of a kind Mausingfield - Update Charge weight test complete 4-9-2023 POST#49

    What's the reason for the bore rider throat? Which bullet are you planning to shoot? Do you find a normal bullet hits the lands at a very short COAL.

    308 and wind at 100 yards

    A 10 mph wind will move the 150 gr Hornady fmj by 0.75 inches at 100 yards. Remember it is not the wind but changes in the wind shot to shot.

    308 and wind at 100 yards

    Wind can move a bullet at 100 yards but would not be my first thought. What matters is not so much the wind as changes in the wind. Wind is not constant, but the changes in wind shot to shot will be less than the velocity of the wind. So if a 10 mph wind will move a bullet half an inch at...

    Quickload request, Cutting edge

    IMR 4451 and H4350 are close in burn rate but Quickload is telling me 4451 is too bulky a powder to be useful. I won't use a powder without published data from either the powder or bullet company which I then fine-tune with QuickLOAD. I would look for one of the powders on Cutting Edge's list...

    Quickload request, Cutting edge

    Unfortunately, the 125 gr Maximum bullet is not in the database. The 130 with IMR 4451 and Hornady brass (greater case capacity than Lapue usually) shows you probably can't get enough powder in the case to make 4451 a good choice. Look for a faster powder.

    Quickload request, Cutting edge

    Change initiation pressure to 6525 and you should be close. Unfortunately, the QuickLOAD user manual is useless.

    3.9 has both. Is there a later version.

    Question for switch barrel rifle users

    I switched barrels on more than one rifle for a while and gave up. There is a reason action wrenches and barrel vices were invented. I like to shoot more than switching barrels and re-zeroing. I am slowly using up barrels and reverting to dedicated rifles. I am far from the "man with one...

    Nucleus/Archimedes and cfe mag box

    There certainly is a difference in the receiver ejection port but I was not aware of a difference in the mag cutout. I have both but do not know what I am looking for.

    Nucleus/Archimedes and cfe mag box

    Open top. But that is a good question. Open versus closed top receiver should not affect the feeding from the box magazine, but it may affect the ease of even ability to top load. I have adjusted the feed lips on the box to be able to top load. The open top is a plus here. I suspect with...

    Nucleus/Archimedes and cfe mag box

    Works for my Mausingfield with M5 Obendorf bottom metal and a Wyatt center feed box for 300 PRC. This application might work better with ARC than Impact. The controlled round feed captures the round when it leaves the box.

    LRI is my go-to place. I recommend them highly. Did someone say they are fast? They are.
