Confirming the 230 gr Berger OTM hybrids (not Target hybrid), P/N 30430 fr 100 ct) I have tried both H4831 and H1000 in the past, and both again just today (85F, 26.4 Hg, 5700' DA). MV from Magnetospeed. H4831, highest load without pressure signs (no heavy bolt lift, no extractor marks) is...

Hi guys, I am going to be visiting a friend in Denver in a month. He's an accomplished shotgunner and hunter, but new to LR rifle. I want to bring my 300wm and some portable steel and demonstrate the coolness of our sport. We'll have just one day, 16 July, which is a Tuesday Are there any...

More on the excellent CS I just got my V1 a few weeks ago, and it works great. My only problem was the strap kept working loose after a number of shots (mounted on a braked 300wm) I noticed because the usually small SD suddenly widened. Even a little looseness is not good for repeatability. I...

Re: Northwest tactical/ long range shoots? I believe so, haven't shot it yet but am planning on it this is the email I have for Icebreaker [email protected]

Re: Northwest tactical/ long range shoots? in Montana, Sage Flat Shooters (April, June, Sept) in Glasgow Potomac shoots (near Missoula) every third Saturday April-Sept (usually July/Aug cancelled due to fire danger) Icebreaker, April 13 near Jordan, MT

Re: 230 hybrid. .300win mag.. Powder?? I had very good results with the 230 Bergers using 71 gr 4831SC, Fed 215M primers in Fed brass, jumping .020" 2850 fps out of 26" 1:10 bbl and consistent <.5 MOA, occasionally better. I have gone back to 208 AMAX for two reasons - expense (those...

Re: Anti gun/ anti hunting license in NY Remember not to write your congress critters. CALL them, and make 3-4 points, with supporting, objective data Writing is a waste of time. Your letter (or email) just gets categorized and you get a form letter in response. congressmen count calls much...

Re: Where do you set your zero and why? my zero is at 100 yds. Its commonly available when you're traveling and recheck on arrival. Zeroing at much longer ranges (eg the std Marine 600 yd zero)incorporates errors I don't want incorporated(cant, wind) however, it is derived from shooting...

Re: Reloading Art vs Scientific Method wwbrown good point that is why I determined the range of powder load for my DOE with a ladder test too. The results told me more about primers and seating depth than powder load (margin means plot slopes were more striking in the former than the latter)

Re: Reloading Art vs Scientific Method Carter, Great question! DOE s/w "marginal means" plots show the shape of the minimum vs the levels of the factor; you can judge the sensitivity of the output to the factor from that. Adding in numerous factors (especially 2 level ones like bullet A...

Re: Reloading Art vs Scientific Method I think the question comes down to end goals. If you're a benchrest shooter with the opportunity to shoot sighters and pre-determine wind before you shoot record shots, and you measure success only when you get below .2 MOA, its probably worth the time...

Re: Reloading Art vs Scienctific Method I just followed this approach, developing a load for my 300wm. I read Dan Rorabaugh's 2001 article on DOE (Design of Experiments), obtained an excel plug-in (Minitab 16 is the cheapest), and went to work. The big advantage of following this approach is...

Re: 300 WIN MAG LOADS just finished working up loads for BOTH 208 and Berger 230 Rifle = 26", 1:10 twist, Atmos: temp 45F, 26.83" HG, alt = 3250', DA 3100' I did a full factor test with 2 randomized replications of the test (54 shots total for each bullet) Factors checked: CCI vs Fed 215M...

Re: Custom Load talk 300wm: HELP! keep in mind there are TWO versions of the Berger 230: Tactical Hybrid - G-7 BC of .380, NOT for use on game OTM (open tip match), G-7 BC .368, good for game and magazine ops I am working up loads in my 26" .300wm for the OTM using H4831. Using Fed 215M...

Re: Northern Utah PCPR 2013 Challenge at Altitude I'd be in, but do not own ATV. driving down from NW MT would make it a little impractical, too. Any way to arrange shared rides?

For fun, I imported the drop in inches from 0 to 2000 yds (data every 25 yards)from JBM into excel. I then used excel's curve fit function to get the derivative, giving me the "<span style="text-decoration: underline">change </span>in drop" vs. "<span style="text-decoration: underline">change...

Re: wft trimmer +1 does a great job. not so easy to set up (fiddly) but once it is, it goes very, very fast. be aware it registers off the shoulder, not OAL like many others.

Re: 300WM Handloading Questions I started with a 300wm as my first rifle, and I'm very happy I did. No flinch, accurate and a helluva ballistic advantage. However, it does weigh 17# all-up, and has a brake.

Re: aics 2.0 stock thumbhole vs. pistol grip I went to Viperskins. It's very personal, but for me, the AICS angle was too steep and the grip too small. The grippy material on the pistol grip is nice, too. The Viperskins have improved my ergonomics and shooting, plus they take a few ounces off...
