    Magnum Primer Question

    Well I may be drunk, but I'm not fucking stupid!!! Just answer the fucking question. Will I have to change my load and will I be able to get the same level of accuracy if I substitute SR Magnum primers for STANDARD SR primers?? IF you were paying attention you might have noticed that I also...

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    Oh, I thought you were talking about factory fodder. Still cant see the 6.8 coming close to the 6.5Creedmoor though. 130grn Berger VLD Hunting, G7 BC 0.282 lists at 2805fps in the Berger manual, I'm pretty sure that most guys can run it a bit faster than that. You're not equating the 6.5CM with...

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    Errrr, not at LONG RANGE!! 6.8SPC is a MEDIUM RANGE cartridge at best. It doesn't even come close at long range. Short, light, fat bullet vs long, thin, heavy bullet? I know where my money is going... N

    Anybody else pissed off about this?

    This is good to hear. They'll get my Dollar. Anybody else got some good people they can recommend?? Lets be +ve, and give our business to those who deserve it, instead of being -ve and just bitching about CTD. N

    Sam, I think you already know the answer to that!! Round here the typical teenager is surly, rude, disrespectful, and wants to spend all day lying in bed! Since you're polite, respectful (Changing your handle to avoid causing offence), and above all WILLING AND KEEN TO LEARN, that pretty much...

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    The BC's will be the same (give or take, velocity has a function in BC), as the bullet, the actual PROJECTILE, is the same from each cartridge. The cartridge case is only the LAUNCH VEHICLE for the projectile, it's simply the vessel that holds the powder. Check out what I said earlier about...

    Sam, I know you're only 13, and CLEARLY you're not your typical teenager, but don't be lazy now, get onto the 'For Sale' threads and LOOK. The book is in it's second edition now, so someone might be selling the first edition. If not, try Sinclair International, Cabelas, or Brownels. Google...

    RTFQ. He's already asked how to change his username. He gets it. He understands. I just don't have the skill to tell him how, 'cos if I did I would have changed mine back to my old handle! N

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    Right, Let's get Sam's thread back on track here. Sam, If your "Big time gun enthusiast" Uncle re-loads, ask him to load some heavy for calibre bullets for your .243. Most factory rifles should handle up to 100grn loads, but you might want to ask him if he can load some 105grn Lapua Scenars...

    See, that's where the period should have been. Nothing more need be said. I just don't get this whole "I can shoot an Elk at a Mile and a half" SH*T. The skill in hunting is STALKING into the animal. If you're shooting at more than 250-300 yds, you're using shooting skill to compensate for a...

    Again... Walter Dalrymple Maitland Bell How big do you want?? If you don't know of him, Google it! Sorry to kind of hijack your thread Sam, but WDM Bell will add to your education anyway! Neil

    Suppressors volquartsen barrel

    FWIW, I would say that the weight change on the barrel is altering the harmonics. Example; on my 77-22 I run a SAK mod. I recently tried to run it with a Wildcat 'reflex' type moderator, allegedly a better mod, half the weight, more sound reduction. Couldn't group for toffee!! Went back to...

    On a slightly different note... What is really heartwarming is the way this community has stepped up to the plate to help and advise this young lad in his first steps on a reallllly long road. Nobody has flamed him, and everybody has tried to give useful advice. I wish that I had had such a...
