    30-06 still relevant?

    Probably does not make much sense, but I picked up a couple hundred Nosler RDF 210gr bullets from Midway today. I say that because I do not have immediate access to anything more than a 600 yard range at the moment... and even that is going away once the cotton is sewed in. But with a G1 BC of...

    30-06 still relevant?

    My M1 has not been very kind to my HXP cases; the rims are chewed up (by the extractor) on some them to the point my shell holder gets stuck to the case... a little rotation, and they come out, but irritating nonetheless. Right now I am experiencing a little anomaly with the 175 Nosler RDF...

    30-06 still relevant?

    Nice shooting @pmclaine, I really love the `03 Springfield you have there, she is a fine example. I finally carved out a little time last night to start loading for the 30-06; 175gr RDF over H4350. My rifle, a Rem 700 Long Range, has not been fired yet, but once it has started the break-in...

    This^^^ is what I use in my 308 RPR.

    3D Printing Reloading Trays

    3D printing is pretty accurate, it is the shrink rates of various materials that can be tough to manage.

    3D Printing Reloading Trays

    Exactky, I bought my printer for rocketry use, and found it more useful in almost everything else I do. There are more uses yet undiscovered... right now I am mostly playing.

    3D Printing Reloading Trays

    Material costs are low; I am printing in a gold PLA material. The 2lb. reel of PLA costs $20 at Amazon, and as of right now I am printing my 4th tray, with enough material to print at least two more. Like many of you I wanted to get into 3D printing for quite a while. As a day time mechanical...

    3D Printing Reloading Trays

    I was relaoding some 308 and 30-06, and I quickly ran out of my blue Franklin trays. So I jumped on Thingiverse and found where someone had modeled up some Franklin trays and loaded them to the website. I needed a new printing project, and I needed more trays, so 3D printed my own. The major...

    GenII's strike a good balance between the Gen's in my opinion. On my GenII I have only changed out the pistol grip for a more ergonomic grip, otherwise I have been completely satisfied with the stock configuration.

    30-06 still relevant?

    I have come full circle in looking for a new bolt gun to toy with, and I have pretty much decided `06 is the caliber of choice. Nothing to serious; a Rem 700 Long Range; HXP surplus brass; Nosler RDF 175gr. I'm not a hunter, just a recreational paper puncher... glad I found this thread!

    As well as coming off the bench and going to prone on the mat, I am also bailing the vertical rifle case in favor of a drag bag; something like the Eberlestock E2b. Would you guys have another recommendation for a bag? Scratch that, looks like I am looking for a nice Plano case of some kind...

    The SS 3-15X42 FFP from SWFA has been a fine scope for my 308.

    For my 308, I just picked a few hundred Nosler RDF HPBT bullets (175gr) that I am going to give some development time to. With a stated BC of 0.536, I felt they were worth a shot. Shooter's Pro was selling over runs today.

    I am barrel chested, and I am afraid that a 6-9 is not going to give enough elevation for me to comfortably get behind the glass. I have been looking at the 9-13 in Harris options, as well as the Atlas 7-13.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I guess that 9-13 or there abouts, can get kind of leggy? ...maybe even unstable depending on the weight of the rifle? I am looking at Harris, but will not rule out other quality brands.

    I am coming off the bench, and going to a shooting mat; what is a common height bi-pod I should be looking for?

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I managed to get out on Saturday and put about 70 rounds down range with my Gen II in 308. The first 50 were some light hand loads that I made up 3 or so years ago for a rifle I no longer own. They were 148 grain BTHP. I used them for bore sighting and the the rest just to do initial barrel...
