Re: Remember the Great .30-06 Debate 10 Years Ago? Shane, Got no brake. Although the rifle weighs 16.5 lbs, even the 190's play havoc on my collar bone in the prone position. That's why I had the 6.5 Swede built for F Class. Don

Re: Remember the Great .30-06 Debate 10 Years Ago? Ah, yes, there still <span style="font-style: italic">are</span> some 'ol timers here. Speaking of 208's, I've got an unopened box of them that I have been meaning to try. I also have some of the lightweight Norma brass that Shane likes...

Re: Remember the Great .30-06 Debate 10 Years Ago? Hey Mike, Glad to see there is still a friendly face around here. Don

Just got to thinking. It was about 10 years ago that MontanaMarine and myself were both developing the modern .30-06 Tactical Rifle load. You know, the 190SMK load at 2900fps that guys were telling us couldn't be done? All the great posts are gone, what with several Sniper's Hide software...

Re: 6.5mm twist rate advice 1:8 or 1:8.5" I shoot the 139-142gr bullets out to 1k without problems with my 1-8.5" twist 6.5x55. Don

Re: 30-06, 208amax, H4350 A little history on the 1903 rifles. The heat treat problem was solved during WW1 (problem receivers are those with serial numbers below 800,000 made at Springfield Armory, and below 286,506 made at Rock Island Arsenal), so all WW2 produced M1903's and 03-A3's...

Re: Berger's New 140gr 6.5mm bullets - How are the Cigarcop, Berger had a few of us test and evaluate a new non-VLD bullet that they developed. I don't know for sure that this bullet was ever produced commercially. Don

Re: Questions on Lake City M118 173 grain match ammo mjh, The problem is the method of bullet construction. A FMJBT bullet simply cannot compete with a modern, commercially made HPBT. In my experience with thousands of the M72/M118 bullets, they are a 1.25MOA bullet at best. Don

Re: 308 Reload Problem - HELP I would suggest you drop back at least .5gr in your load. You're using IMI brass, which is heavy and has a case capacity similar to Lake City. If that doesn't do it, then examine your chamber for imperfections that may causing it. Don

Re: Looking for slow temp INSENSITIVE 30-06 powder Forget about Retumbo in the .30-06, too slow. doc76251 is correct about the steep pressure curve of H4831SC in relation to RL22, but here's some empirical data that Quick Load only hints at: Full power loads with H4831SC vs. RL22 will result...

Re: FGMM 175 on Game If you want to use a match bullet on game, I would suggest the Hornady Amax bullets. Don

Re: 6.5x55 vs 260 Remington who should be faster ? About 75-100fps difference between the two of them (in the 6.5x55's favor), when the 6.5x55 is chambered in a modern rifle and the 6.5x55 is loaded to modern pressure levels. My 6.5x55 drives the 139-142gr bullets at 2950fps. Don
