    Hunting & Fishing Clean slate elk rifle build

    My go to Elk rifle is a Kimber Montana 84L in 280 AI. It is light, comfortable to shoot and is plenty of gun within any reasonable range. For me that is about 650 yards. With the Leupold 4x14x50, full mag and sling it weighs exactly 7 lbs. It is a joy to carry up and over the hills.

    Bad primers or something else?

    Re: Bad primers or something else? Looks like a few bad primers. It does happen. The reason the fired ones are flatter and the "duds" are rounded is because the pressure of being fired fills and flattens the primers in the pocket a bit. When a cartridge does not ignite it makes the primer...

    Re: Forming 260 brass from 308 brass You will have to be careful that the necks don't get too thick, other than that, yes it is as easy as running your brass through a 260 FL size die.

    Help me order up a Dillion 550B

    Re: Help me order up a Dillion 550B Once you are used to caliber changeover it is not hard at all. The biggest pain is the primer carrier change over from large to small primers or vice versa. I can change a caliber, primer station, and case feed plate in about 15 minutes if I am slow and...

    Nosler Accubond in .264/6.5mm

    Re: Nosler Accubond in .264/6.5mm Because they are a premium bonded bullet with a fairly high coefficient. They fly like a ballistic tip and stay together better when striking bone or hard animal tissue. They are the most accurate bullet I have found for hunting in both my .260 and my 6.5x55...
