    Long Range for beginners

    I don’t think I would wanna try to do long range with an 06 or a 7mag. Your shoulder gonna be killing you at the end of the day I think I just go buy me a 24-26”6.5 Creedmoor and send it. Them suckers will shoot a long way and they don’t have a whole lot of recoil.

    Anybody ever build on a Christensen action?

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’m gonna just pull the trigger for lack of a better phrase. I’ll buy that barrel next week and start the process. Now to just find a Gun Smith to do it.

    Anybody ever build on a Christensen action?

    I probably wouldn’t shoot 162s I really like that 140 grain Sierra boattail Hollow point game King that bullet shoots lights out and kills deer and hogs like a lightning bolt with RL- 16 or H4350 in every and I stress every 7/08 I’ve had and I’ve had a bunch of them in the last 10 years...

    Anybody ever build on a Christensen action?

    It’s funny you mention the 7 mm saw that dude that came up with that design is sorta close to me in the Texas panhandle not too far from West Texas where I live. I could just drive up there and drop it off and I seriously consider that but I’ve not 100% sold on it. I do want a 20 inch barrel...

    Anybody ever build on a Christensen action?

    I never heard of anyone doing barrel swaps on CA actions. I know its not a high end action but I already own it. Not being cheap but frugal if people have had good luck with them.

    Anybody ever build on a Christensen action?

    I believe I finally shot out my 243 Win. It is a Ridge line with the factory carbon barrel. I found a proof research .284 barrel locally cheap ($699) and thought about swapping barrels. After 3000+ hot rounds down the pipe on the 243. groups have gone from 1/2" to 3" of late. I really hate to...

    New to the 7mmPRC

    That the same exact book and data I’m using. I went and shot some H 1000 with those 197 just a few minutes ago and the speed is dismal in my opinion but I keep telling myself that’s almost a 200 grain bullet.

    Well, I’ve been testing some 197 SMKs with StaBall HD and so far the speed numbers aren’t just super impressive. Only getting about 2675 FPS the SD is in the single digits, but the speed is not there.

    Nope

    Just because you been here a while and bought all of Lowlight’s books doesn’t mean you can break the rules. Do this again and you will be banned.

    Most practical AR round to supress that's not niche, or limp-dick.

    That Varmint Express shiz the nit! My short AR 223 Wylde loves that stuff.

    WTF barrel worms?

    Varget or H4350 for 6.5cm 130 gr?

    39.0 of RL-16 and the Sierra #1728 130 HPBT game king is MONEY in all 4 of my 6.5CMs as far as accuracy is concerned. I get 2525 from my SBR and 2750 from my 24" guns and one hole groups. I was really wanting to try some H4350 as it shoots so well in my 7-08s with 140s. wouldn't mind a little...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    No timer just a good eye..A timer would be easy to make on the AC coming in but I just watch the case for the right color. It takes a few to get the hang of it on some junk brass

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Those induction coils are easy to build out of solid copper wire. You can build whatever diameter you want and it came with several to boot, so I’m sure it could. If you need something hot that thing will do it.

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    I gave up on building one. I just bought this and it works fine. The duty cycle is not the greatest but it works. https://a.co/d/7ay6mbz
