    7Prc not grouping

    Berger has a stability calculator on their site. Something that may be stable at 70F may not be stable at 32F Same goes for altitude. A bullet may be marginally stable at sea level but perfectly stable at 4,000ft.

    Reloading to accuracy on bolt action

    The problem with loading to a jam is twofold. Firstly if you need to unload the rifle once a cartridge is in the chamber and the bolt is closed you risk leaving the bullet in the rifling and a chamber full of powder. Secondly if the rifle is a barrel burner or it is shot a lot you will be...

    What just happened to Match primer prices.

    Don’t know about large magnum I have over 1,000 and I may shoot 100 a year. I shoot around 1,000 6.5 Creedmoor and another 750 or so 6mm BR that are both using BR-4 primers. I have around 900 left. I still have an unopened case of BR-2’s that I’m trying to trade with someone local. I have...

    What just happened to Match primer prices.

    I was just in a store today and looked at the price of match primers. BR-2 and BR-4 for $16.99/100 GM205M and GM210M for $11.99/100 In Canada prices went from $16.99/100 to $25.99/100 for the BR-2 and BR-4. Last I looked they were $15.99/100. What changed in the last few months?

    7Prc not grouping

    In that case my suggestion is that you buy a press and a set of dies and start reloading. Where in Canada are you located?

    7Prc not grouping

    What profile barrel and what is the purpose of this rifle? If it is to be a hunting rifle which I suspect it is I would focus on cold bore shots and 3 shot groups. If you have a repeatable cold bore shot and a decent 3 shot group I would call it good. I would also try a different brand of...

    Reloading to accuracy on bolt action

    Went to shoot 22’s with my buddy/shooting partner on Friday. My buddy brings out his brand new never fired Bergara B-14R Carbon. He has SK Standard Plus, SK Rifle Match, Lapua Center-X, RWS Rifle Match and some sort of Eley. He gets it on paper at 50y. He then starts shootings groups of every...

    End of life barrels

    I’m shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor. Today I shot at 1,000y for the second time. The first was exactly 2 years ago nearly to the day at the same range. My barrel was nearly new 2 years ago and I was shooting 0.4moa with hand loads and 0.6moa with factory ammo. Today my best group was 0.6moa with hand...

    It's my Life Day - 3 year anniversary

    A buddy of mine went out for a Saturday morning ride last fall. A guy on a farm tractor on a rural road turned left right in front of him while he was doing around 50mph. He got off lucky with only bruising from his armpit to his hip and 6 broken ribs. He also doesn’t remember much of that day...

    338 Lapua Magnum

    You haven’t mentioned which rifle this Is in? I have my suspicions especially when you mention that you have been fighting it for 15 years but I’ll wait for your reply. I’ve only shot Lapua brass in my Savage 110BA without issue.

    Does anyone stand with Berger?

    When I started shooting 500M+ about 15 years ago I was shooting .308 175 SMK’s at 2625FPS out of a 1-10”twist Savage 10BA. I was able to get 0.5-0.6 MOA without too much effort. This was enough to keep me inside the V-Bull of a figure 11 target so I didn’t really look for anything else. At the...

    308 Muzzle Velocity with 175gr

    I shot 4,600 175gr SMK's in the neighborhood of 2625fps in a 24" barrel using 42.2gr of Varget. This was done with 200pcs of Lapua brass. I bought another 200pcs when I replaced the barrel. Accuracy with the factory Savage barrel was around 0.6moa.

    Did Hornady Change 147 ELD-M Bullet?

    I have shot 2,000 147 ELD-M bullets in the past 3 years. For the last 1,200 rounds I switched to the Lapua 139gr Scenar and couldn't be happier. Yes I know that the bc of the Scenar is inferior to that of the ELD-M but I am shooting smaller groups and have been scoring personal best scores in...
