    Salomon X-Alp Mtn GTX Forces vs Quest 4D GTX vs Lowa Zephyr GTX

    I’ve switched to Crispi boots and have found them more comfortable and more durable than my Salomans or Lowas. Hands-down the best boots I’ve ever owned.

    Tapatalk ?

    Whoa! Really? It did when we first moved to the new site. I’ve been gone for a few months due to hunting season and I come back to this news? This SUX. I just don’t use forums much that don’t use Tapatalk because it’s so much easier to view AND to post images. Why would Frank ditch Tapatalk? Is...

    135 Berger classic hunter? Anyone?

    Goodness! Is that (47.7gr) even safe? Lol! I’m doing some load dev on a new custom 6.5cm with a 22” Bartlein using H4350 and 140gr Berger Elite Hunters; and when I had someone run quickload for me it hit 63,091psi (max saami pressure) at 43.5gr. Just seems like a LOT of powder and (potentially)...

    QuickLoad request

    Thank you, sir! I’ll follow up with you when I can. We’re swamped with hunters right now and it’s usually dark when I’m home. But the first chance I get to do some shooting, I’ll post some results. Here’s a photo of one of my target sheets from the last round of testing. I was mainly...

    QuickLoad request

    Would someone mind running some quickload numbers for me? I’m curious about the pressures with H4350 in Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor brass behind a 140gr Berger Elite Hunter bullet and out of a 22” tube. Federal 205M primers. Specifically, I’d like to know the numbers at 43gr, 43.6gr, 43.8gr, 44gr and...

    Who has built a "do it all" rifle?

    My first stab at it was a 6.5 cm built with: Defiance Deviant Tactical nitrided action w/ 20moa rail Bartlein 5R #3B @ 22” APA RTG/SA bottom metal Accurate Magazine Jewell HVR trigger at 1.5lbs. McMillan CF/edge fill stock built to Hill Country Rifles’ specs for right-handed shooter and...

    Used CLR to clean Barrel. Massive zero shift. Related?

    Dang, I hope you didn’t mess up our bbl with that stuff. I read about some guys using it to clean their muzzle brakes/suppressor mounts with it but I’ve been too scared to get it on my crown. So, I use a q-tip and some carbon remover. I finally snapped that the OP says “CL ‘R’” - I kept...

    Newb with Manners stock question

    I’ve never run a mini chassis or a chassis system. Everything I own is bedded. I get all tied up in accuracy and since I don’t know any bench guys shooting anything other than standard bedded actions, I’ve stuck with the old fashioned bedded stock. Nothing scientific here and if I ever get...

    ARC M10 rings - medium?

    Thanks! I think the lows will be great. I was totally exhausted last night and wasn’t thinking straight - I forgot to halve the objective lens diameter and I just couldn’t figure out how these rigs were going to work, LMAO. This scope comes with Leupold’s Alumina flip-up scope caps. I’ve owned...

    ARC M10 rings - medium?

    I’m curious whether anyone knows which height ARC M10 rings will work best for a Leupold VX6 HD 4-24x52mm on a Defiance Deviant Tactical action (20moa rail) with a Bartlein 3B barrel? Nobody anywhere around us carries ARC rings so I can’t go try a couple sizes. I’m figuring mediums will work but...

    DLC- bolt only or action and bolt?

    Noted. I thought that when I originally decided to go this route (months ago) that it was an option that cost extra. I either misread or it’s since changed. Thanks for pointing that out - just saved me some $$ in my mind! Lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DLC- bolt only or action and bolt?

    Thanks guys! I misunderstood and thought the bolt was DLC coated. If the bolt is NP3 then IÂ’ll go ahead and DLC coat the action and IÂ’m going to ask Clayton (WTO) to polish the raceways. YÂ’allÂ’s comments kind of confirm what my original concern was - running 2 DLCÂ’d parts against each...

    DLC- bolt only or action and bolt?

    Yeah, I know it’s a good coating and I’m not worried about I wearing. I’ve just heard mixed points of view on whether to coat both action components or just one. Those Curtis actions are sweet! I almost used it instead; but this is going to be a Switchlug rifle and the interchangeable bolt heads...

    DLC- bolt only or action and bolt?

    I’m ordering a new SR3 from Bighorn and I’m not sure whether to spend the extra money on having the action DLC’d? The bolt comes DLC coated either way. My other custom actions are Defiance and one is uncoated and the other is Nitrided- bolt and action. I love the rifles but I’m hoping for a lot...

    WTC 198 Grain / 300 WM

    You might go look over on LongRangeOnly.com and LongRangeHunting.com. I know that there are a lot of ELR guys that use Warner Tool products and I see them discussed a lot. I can’t offer any personal experience but I know those 2 forums can provide you with some info. Good luck! FWIW- I’m...

    300 Norma & 225 ELD-M Sweet Spot Velocity

    Is it a new barrel? If so, you may just be experiencing the velocity increase that many barrels experience as they break in. Are you checking BTOL rather than OAL? OAL is useless/irrelevant to me except to know whether a round will fit in my magazine. Base To Ogive Length IS important to know...

    Best how to book's for reloading

    I couldn’t second this recommendation any more strongly! I don’t know how this book isn’t on every reloader’s bench. It’s the most complete, start to finish, guide to accuracy reloading I’ve ever seen. Not to say there aren’t other things to read (there definitely ARE!) but a guy with...
