Awhile back I was starting to see pressure signs with my 7mm08 using Hornady 162 BTHPs and 46gr of H4350. Lee shows that I can use between 45gr and 48gr. I started at 45gr and by 46.5gr I was starting to have real trouble lifting the bolt so I checked some other books. Turns out that the Lee...

Does anyone have any experience with the Steiner Predator Xtreme series scopes?

My friend has a 30-06 Browning BAR and wants to get a better trigger for it. This is a modern BAR. It's mostly used for hunting. Suggestions?

I'm going to get a Nightforce Benchrest scope in the near future and I'm trying to decide between the 8-32x56 and the 12-42x56. Mostly I'm concerned about the 12-42x56 having enough elevation to get me past 1,000 yards and still not have any problems at 100 yards. I'm using a Seekins 20moa base.

I just recently struck on the idea of getting a benchrest scope, but I don't know anything about them. Right off the bat the NF 8-32x56 seems like I great deal, but again, I'm just starting to collect info. Looking for advice.

I just got some 175 SMKs for my 7mm08. I'm not sure why as I'm still working on loads for the 162 gr Amax and 162 gr BTHP. Must be my ADD. Anyway, I'm going to be using H4350 and I'm curious as to what loads have worked good for others and what kind of speeds are reasonable.

My friend has a 30-06 BAR and the shells aren't ejecting every time. He just got it back from shop after having the gas ports cleaned and thinks they messed it up somehow. He also says it's not as accurate now. What's weird is it seams to work fine with heavy bullets but not with the lighter...

I'm considering getting a Mauser and putting a scope on it. I would like the scope to look similar to a vintage scope that it came with. Any suggestions?

My dad started to shoot the military matches and I was kicking around the idea of getting a rifle I could use. I already have a modern rifle that's eating up my resources so I'm curious as to which rifles are good shooters and how much I would need to spend.

I have an HS Precision Savage and the LOP is a bit long for me. Is anyone aware of a thinner pad that fits or another fix for this?

Recently I discovered that I wasn't supposed to be including the plastic tip on the 162gr Amax when measuring the length in regards to twist rate. So now it appears I have a bit too much twist in my 7mm08 barrel for this bullet. I'm thinking about switching to the Hornady 162gr BTHP as it is a...

I can't get Lapua brass in 7mm08 so I think I'm going to give the Nosler brass a try. Comments? Experiences? Wisdom?

Every time I submit a new password it says it's been changed, but nothing happens. Currently I can only log on with temporary passwords. Anybody know what my problem is?

I'm about to start the break in procedure on my Criterion 7mm08 barrel. I have some Hornady Interlocks I thought I use to break in the barrel. Will the cannelure have any kind of negative effect on a match barrel?

I'm just getting started with the 7mm08. I picked up a pound of H4350 and will probably go this route. I am a little curious about the H4831sc though. Most of the loading info for H4831 isn't for the short cut variety and it just looks like max load is more determined by space in the case than...

I just put a Criterion 1-9"twist 7mm08 barrel on my Savage HS Precision and I'm looking for opinions on bullets to reload with. I'm going to start off with the 162gr Amax, but I would like some alternatives. I'm interested in any weight of 7mm, but I'm at a total loss when it comes to bullets...

If anyone has any of the new 7mm Barnes match burner 171 grain bullets can you measure a few and tell me the lengths? I will never understand why most bullet makers can't share this information . They act like they don't know how long their own bullets are. I think only Berger and Nosler have...

I'm getting ready to order a Wilson neck sizer for 7mm-08, but I don't know what bushing size to get. I'm just starting in this caliber so I don't have a loaded round to measure. I'm going to be using Winchester brass. If anyone has gone this route already can you please tell me what bushing...

I'm planning on ordering a 7mm-08 barrel in the next couple days. Now I'm getting second thoughts about maybe getting an 7mm-08AI. It's going on a Savage short action and I don't know if it changes the amount of room I have to work with in the chamber. Also, would I encounter problems getting...

I'm going to start reloading 7mm-08 in the near future. I'm leaning towards getting Winchester brass. It would be an easy decision if Lapua made 7mm-08, but I don't know if it's worth necking up 260. I've never used Norma or Nosler brass. Suggestions?
