    7 Saum has me scratching my head…

    I find Sierra’s data a good starting point in my 300 WSM, but wildly different than Hornady’s manual with the same weight bullets. I know different jacket materials, different bearing surfaces, etc. I’m 2 grains over Sierra’s max with R26 and no pressure signs, and single digit SD’s. But it’s...

    No guns for tyrannies

    Thats exactly how the order of things would go in this backwards world. In reality, it’s the nut bag democrats killing people; they are the ones who should be restricted from having guns. Actually, it would be better to stop glorifying the ones doing the shooting and stop framing them as the...

    Walking Tall,... a lie?

    Yeah, it takes time away that should have been spent on current crime, but they have been bought off to ignore it, so they have to make it look like they are doing something other than surfing the internet when at work……

    Walking Tall,... a lie?

    The Dixie Mafia…….interesting. If you are ever on a long roadtrip there’s a good podcast about the history and doings of the Dixie Mafia, it’s called, “Into the Red Clay”. The link is on Apple, but I listen to it on Spotify. I’m sure it’s on other platforms. You’ll be hooked after the...

    VV powders & temp stability

    I’ve also heard reports that the 100 series powders don’t exactly have a great shelf life even when stored properly. I don’t remember who it was on here that said their N150 or 160 went bad after 8-10 years.

    This is why you need lots guns & ammo

    From the article, Ida says: “If you can just use your neighbor’s car because you have a smartphone and an app, and you don’t even need to know the neighbor to get into his car. “It’s much easier and much more fun to share.” Just how far do you propose we take this sharing thing there Ida...

    Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Announces Executive Order Resisting Immigration Crackdown

    Oh, he’s telling his truth, make no mistake, those in Chicago begging for this regardless of their ethnicity, Brandon doesn’t consider “our people”; they are “Trumps people”, or “someone else’s people”, but they are not “his people”. I suspect the legislation he mentions in that speech he was...

    Proving once again, he wasn’t elected for his wisdom nor his intellect.

    SOLD Armageddon Gear High Heat 7" Suppressor Cover

    You wouldn’t happen to know the model number would you? Also is this the standard high heat or extreme high heat model? Trying to figure out if it will fit my Nomad XC Ti. Thanks

    Need to mill my Origin action, looking for advice

    I have an early sn Origin short action I’m trying to stuff a 300 wsm in. It works, but the feed ramps slightly over hang the box on my Hawkins magazine, causing the bullet tips of the 2nd and 3rd round to hang up under the lip. I sent the pictures to Ray at Zermatt and he recommended machining...

    So fertility rates are plunging because men don’t make sammiches?

    That’s what we get for being responsible……it’s called “white privilege”, it also comes with the burden of paying for the care of the children the minority fathers pump out and don’t take care of. We are double screwed and they wonder why we are fed up and out.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lever Action thread

    Here’s another one of my favorites. Japchester 1886 takedown 45-70. I rented a .458 reamer to throat the barrel so I can load bullets over the standard 405. I also installed a reproduction Lyman 21 and an adjustable peep. It’s @MK20 ’s fault I bought it, he gave me the heads up as to its...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lever Action thread

    Here’s one of my favorites. JM Marlin 336 Cowboy 30-30. I love the balance and it’s a good shooter, very consistent 1.5 moa or less with any ammo I stick in it. I scoped it just to see what it was capable of and shot it out to 600 yards on steel. I videoed with my iPhone on slow-mo through...

    Origin short action and Hawkins Hunter DBM

    Meanwhile, old abused 7 mag: I know, it’s only one group and I need to shoot it more, but this gun seems to like those old Remington 9.5M primers. It did the same thing a couple years ago when shooting 168 Custom Comps with H4831SC……..maybe I should try those primes in my wsm……..

    Origin short action and Hawkins Hunter DBM

    Here’s what I’m looking at with the 300wsm, note the smallest group was at 200 yards…….. When shooting the .751” group in the middle picture, I literally shot one, then cooled the barrel with a mattress pump and hose, then shot another one for three shots. I was trying to see if barrel was...

    Origin short action and Hawkins Hunter DBM

    I got them up to 2800 fps, but the groups opened up even worse. This barrel has been the pickiest barrel I’ve ever owned. It coppered up in the last 6” like mad even though I folwed the recommended break in procedure. I finally went back to shoot one, clean, shoot one clean, for a few and...

    Origin short action and Hawkins Hunter DBM

    That’s a Nosler 210ABLR. They are going 2725 fps out of that 20” barrel with R26. I sent that one at 600 yards and it hit just right of the center, so I guess bullet tip deformation doesn’t really matter 😭. Case study of one round.

    Origin short action and Hawkins Hunter DBM

    Follow on question for you all who have run Hawkins mags in your short action Origin with a 300wsm or a 6.5 prc. I have a 300 wsm and the tips of round 2 and 3 are hanging up on the bottom of the feed ramp on my Origin causing failure to feed. I already have the bullets seated .1 off the...
