    "Shade tree Mechanic bedding job" for my 6.5 SAUM hunter (Pic Heavy)

    nice work. Going to be doing the same thing to my 6.5 tomorrow. R700 and a Grey Bull stock. Got a question for you...why do you tape across the bottom & outside edge of the recoil lug? Is the tape special (just happen to notice it was different than the painters tape that you used in the...

    Dillon 650 question on powder charge volume

    my experience has been the same as others noted here. Varget has had the most variation of the powders I've used. Win748 was great. Checked first 100 charges once stuff was set and had 82 dead on with only +-0.1gr on the other 18. I was pretty happy with that. I've had no experience with the TAC...

    168 Berger 7mm mag powders

    VLD in mine was seated out at the lands...settled on .007-.010 jump for final load. SD's are single digit, ES was around 22 for the 71.5 gr Retumbo load I mentioned earlier. Was the 3"+ grouping seated at 3.290 or 3.455?

    168 Berger 7mm mag powders

    71.5 gr Retumbo worked well for me. 28" barrel was north of 3150 and no pressure with really low spreads.

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I really like Darrel Holland's brake. I've accidentally shot them without ear protection before and it wasn't near as bad as a typical radial port brake (Hart style is the worst I've seen). He puts a lot of thought into making his stuff hunter friendly and this brake is no exception. It also...

    My New 7 STW

    I have a 28 in Krieger 1-9 twist in STW. People complain about barrel life in this caliber but I haven't had a problem as of yet (~1200 rounds). Ran mostly Berger 180, VLD and Hybrids. Mine liked about .010 or less to the lands with VLD. Any jump seemed to work good with the Hybrid. I've only...

    Sierra MK Jump/Jam

    I agree, and I'm at that stage. I just wanted to know what worked for others with Sierra bc I'd never used them before.

    Sierra MK Jump/Jam

    I loaded up a few this weekend at magazine in a standard R700 to 3.600 OAL which was .145 jump. They shot decent at 200, roughly .75 moa. I've had the gun shoot the VLD less than .5 moa at 100 when seated .010 off the lands. I loaded up 18 more smk's last night...3 batches of 6 each. Same...

    Sierra MK Jump/Jam

    Good point. Hopefully holds true with this gun b/c I don't think I'll get to the lands with this gun and if I do it def won't be magazine.

    Sierra MK Jump/Jam

    That's what I'm working with now, a long freebore. I think Hart of PA sort of sells that 30 Hart as a cookie cutter type package and assume that everyone will shoot their 180 NBT & RL19 recipe. Not my ideal combo so I thought I'd give the smk a try to start out. Hopefully the freebore isn't so...

    Sierra MK Jump/Jam

    I've primarily only used Bergers since I've been reloading. All my rifles have shot best with minimal jump with the VLD and I've had good luck. I'm loading up some 190 SMK's for a buddy in his 30 Hart. What is the rule of thumb with SMK's? (if there is one) Do they like jump, jam...

    6.5 SAUM and a Texas Gunsmith

    Nice looking guns. Glad that you made out well. I shot my 6.5 this weekend in some 17-20 mph winds and it did great. My favorite caliber right now for sure. And thanks for letting us know that you threw your old lady a bone before going to test your new gun...nice touch

    LWRC sold to Colt ?????

    I live 10 minutes from there and wish they weren't leaving. Provided a lot of the better jobs in the area. Sucks for those people who have worked so hard to build that reputation LWRC has and see it go like that. Bernstein did the same thing with BAI when he sold out to L3. They picked up and...

    Conundrum Picking It A New Spotting Scope

    do you feel the same rationale holds true when comparing the viper HD vs razor HD binos? I should state that this would be for glassing game off a tripod and freehand.

    At that price it would be better to just buy the prepped stuff from CC

    AR500 Steel Targets???? Advice!

    I'll just echo what the others have said about JC Steel targets (jcvibby). Great work for a great cause. His quality, services, and prices are awesome. Group buys that he runs sweeten the deal even further. Save the Lapua for 400+. That's what you buy a gun like that for anyway. 3/8 should work...

    Hunting & Fishing 7WSM 180 Berger takes down two Grizzlies and More!

    My buddy has a 30 Hart that he has run the 190 VLD and 210 VLD. The 210 is on the upper side of being effective on smaller size deer but still kills them. You just get more exit wounds than with the 190's. Just about everything he shot with the 190 was bang, flop from 70 yards to I think to...

    Rifle Scopes New Optic From Bushnell, The LRHS

    I think its a good unit that pulls together the flaws that weren't addressed on any one unit for long range hunting. I especially like the 10 mil fixed low pro turret with arrow is about as hunter friendly & dummy proof as it gets. Is the turret straight or angled? If straight I have no issue...
