    Range Report 284 Winchester With 150 Nosler Accubond Long Range.

    I started this project with the hopes of hitting 3100 fps with the 150 ABLR. I chose IMR 4350 because it's on the faster side of H4350 and R17. It's an awesome powder for the 284 platform because it handles all bullets from 120-180gr. I started off with 53.5 gr and went up to 56 gr. with a...

    GAP VS SURGEON

    Is Surgeon that much better to justify costing that much more? I'm gonna have another rifle built and haven't shot a surgeon anything yet. Is it worth the extra? What's the difference if any in the actions?

    Photos Savage 11 Hog hunter...

    Anyone shot these yet? I was happy as a pig in shit to find something pretty practical for under $500. I put a Falcon Menace 5.5-25x50 on it and used a stock from a Savage 12 VLP DBM so it's got a detachable box

    Gunsmithing Considering 375 Cheytac......

    Can someone give me some pros and cons for this round? I have been studying the ballistics and they seem almost too good to be true.
