    Rifle Scopes Starter Scope for a 7 year old

    Re: Starter Scope for a 7 year old IMO, I would go with a mid-range variable. With my sons (7 & 6), the higher mag is frustrating for them to shoot because they can't pick up the target easily and keep it steady enough. The variable will give him the option of lower power now and as he gets...

    Chasing the high accuracy node - worth it?

    Re: Chasing the high accuracy node - worth it? Depends on how you're shooting. I ran into a similar situation with my 7-08. Because I use it quite a bit for matches, I went with the slower load. My upper load had great speed and numbers, but some of the matches I shoot require extended...

    Changing Brass = Changing Accuracy?

    Re: Changing Brass = Changing Accuracy? Chad is spot on. Internal case volume and neck tension could vary significantly between brands, thus affecting pressures. I'm sure you could find another load with the new brass, but you'll have to play with it a little. Best to just stick with your...

    How many rounds does it take to work up a load?

    Re: How many rounds does it take to work up a load? I probably stumble upon what I'm looking for around the 50 round mark. I do a lot of research before I even start though and use a chrono the entire time. If I'm having problems and jumping around with bullets and powder, it certainly goes...

    Emergency Stuck Case (Fixed Thanks)

    Re: Emergency Stuck Case Did this not too long ago with a 7 Rem Mag case. Bypass all this bullshit and send it to RCBS. They'll remove it for free without damaging your die. All you pay for is shipping. I pissed around with mine trying several things and none of them worked. Only raised...

    Lube inside case neck?

    Re: Lube inside case neck? I tend to think the same way as boltstop, but if you like it, do it. I find reloading to be more than just making accurate ammo. It's good therapy too...

    Ridges on shoulder?

    Re: Ridges on shoulder? Using just a tad of Imperial should correct this for you going forward. That stuff is great and you don't need much at all. One can will last you years. Shoot the ones you already dented. Won't make a difference at all. The case will expand back to the chamber...

    Advice:MK2 TR vs CZ 452 silhouette? must act quick

    Re: Advice:MK2 TR vs CZ 452 silhouette? must act quick No experience with the Savage, but I do have a 452 American, which the website states is essentially the same. Fantastic rifle... The metal work and wood work are great. Pickup some Wolf Match Extra or Wolf Match Target ammo and that...

    7mm-08 162 A-max with rl-17 or 2000mr

    Re: 7mm-08 162 A-max with rl-17 or 2000mr Use a powder that best fills the case.

    6mm Amax???

    Re: 6mm Amax??? I haven't been following the Amax issues. Why is Hornady running behind so badly?

    7mm-08 162 A-max with rl-17 or 2000mr

    Re: 7mm-08 162 A-max with rl-17 or 2000mr Not sure what rig you have, but you should be able to hit mid 2800's with the H4350. How fast do you want to push them? I haven't worked with either of those powders, but have done quite a bit with H4350.

    6mm Amax???

    Re: 6mm Amax??? Sendero, I'm already using H4350 with the DTACs. I heard that they are designed to be pushed around the 3k range and my testing seems to confirm that a bit. When I go up from there with the AI, things get inconsistent on me(speed and groups). If that's true, why bother with...

    6mm Amax???

    Re: 6mm Amax??? Never tried them, so just wanted to do some experimenting to see if they shoot any better in my 1-8 twist barrel. DTACs shoot ok, but just haven't found "the" load yet.

    6mm Amax???

    Where the hell are they? I've been waiting months to get the 105s and can't find them anywhere. Been using DTACs, but wanted to try a few Amax in my 243AI to see if they shoot any better.

    7mm-08 load

    Re: 7mm-08 load The 140gr bullets are the sweet spot for hunting loads in the 7-08. The powders you mention are definitely worth trying. Either should do fine.

    Rifle Scopes How many actually mil things vs use LRF?

    Re: How many actually mil things vs use LRF? I only mil during matches that require it. I don't mil for hunting live animals due to the variation in sizes. I just make sure I have my LRF. I suppose you could get good at using it for hunting, but I don't feel too comfortable in my size...

    Stuck Case

    Re: Stuck Case You can try the freezer technique, but it didn't work for me about a month ago. Here's a real easy way to get it out if you have a week or two to wait: send it back to the die maker for removal. I've done this twice now with RCBS and Redding. Both do it for free and only...
