    Favorite Mags for Bighorn TL3???

    Thanks for all the input guys! I guess I need to get my rifle and get a feel for what kind of COAL I'll be looking to load at to see if I'll even need the extra room the the ARCs and alpha type 2 mags offer. I forgot to mention in my original post that this will be for 6.5 creedmoor.

    Favorite Mags for Bighorn TL3???

    I'm collecting up the last few parts for my custom build and was hoping to get some input from fellow TL3 (SA) owners on what magazine would best fit my needs. Context: - Rifle will be mainly used for hunting and shooting steel at the moment. - Bighorn TL3 SA AW Cut - Badger M5 DBM - Looking...

    Cobra custom foam for Pelican 1750

    That looks sharp! Definitely a lot cleaner looking than my sharpie tracing/fillet knife cutout. @Meyer1784 , what was the total turn around time for your custom cutout after you sent them the picture?

    Load development on virgin brass - never again

    Thanks @padom for sharing the methods to your madness and to you as well @Sheldon N . Always looking to learn from others experiences/mistakes. Now if McMillan will just light a fire under what must be a little old lonely man in the back hand carving their stocks I can get mine and then put some...

    Load development on virgin brass - never again

    @padom - I like your approach and that makes a lot of sense. I guess you could also use that virgin brass for foulers or even cold bore shots if you wanted. In your experience with all the barrel testing you have been doing and just in past experience itself, have you noticed any changes in...

    Powder settling/compression methods

    I've had decent results using an electric toothbrush and just touching the neck of the brush against the side of the case and then rotating the case. During some load development I had on my 260 I had a lot of compressed loads using RL26 and this seemed to really help settle the powder.

    Load development on virgin brass - never again

    Thanks for bringing this topic up as its something I've struggled with myself. So then how do you guys balance how much brass you buy/fireform for a particular barrel before you consider yourself set as far as brass supply? I mean 100 pcs of virgin Lapua brass would be pretty easy to get through...

    Prepping used Brass for PX?

    Good call on the FFL, I completely spaced and was only considering the HAZMAT part of it. I just hated the thought of wasting all those Federal GM210M primers after they were so hard to find in the first place. Thanks for the input Lonestar! I guess either way (brass only or w/rifle) FL sized...

    Prepping used Brass for PX?

    Looking for some input from you guys that have previously sold or bought used brass from the PX section. I am having a custom 6.5 CM built and am looking to move on from my Remington Gen 2 5-R in 260. I've got 300 pcs of 1x (some 2x) fired Lapua brass and a few die sets that I'd like to sell as...

    700 5-r gen 2

    No issues with mine either and Ive put close to 500 rounds through it as well.

    Looking for fellow Remington 700 5-R Gen 2 Owners!!!

    A bit late but thanks for the input Padom and 308Pirate. Mine is a sub MOA shooter when I'm doing my part. Haven't had much luck finding a tack driving load for it but it really likes Prime ammo.

    LabRadar Owners - Come on in !

    Looks like all the "must have" accessories have been covered so I'll just share a tip or two that has helped me with mine. For me there was definitely a learning curve on placement regarding proximity to the rifle. I've had several instances where I've followed the recommended placement for...

    Did you get to do any load development yet? I'm on the stand now (probably letting a trophy slip by while typing this) but I've got a load that my gun loves that I'm happy to share when I get back home this evening if still interested.

    Happy to pay it forward! They can be a little slow to ship (3-4 days) but when I emailed them for an update they were very quick to respond.

    260 Load Data with Mag Friendly COALs???

    How do you like the RL-17? I've got a pound of it but haven't gotten to test it much. Looks like it has the extra velocity factor too.

    260 Load Data with Mag Friendly COALs???

    I did do some load development testing with the 143 ELD-X & H4350 loaded to 2.830" COAL but I just couldn't get the velocities I was hoping for. My Quick Load data was showing I should have been getting close to 2750 at my max load and it is usually spot on but I was getting easily 100 fps less...
