    With the popularity of the 6.5CM (I'm a 260 Rem guy myself) I'm not sure anyone here would want to spend the money on yet another 6.5 cartridge. But here is an article, submitted for your consideration. And yeah, I know this is a 2017 article - 65 PRC Your opinions are welcomed.

    Outstanding service from SportOptics

    This is my first endorsement so I guess you could say I was impressed. Called and spoke with Ben today regarding a GEN II HD Razor. Nice doing business with you Ben. Next time we'll talk about thermals.

    Difference in quality between gun sold by local gun store vs online

    I'm looking at buying a new rifle and I looked at a large online retailer. I won't mention names because if I do, I might break some forum rule. Anyway, this online store is selling the rifle at interest for around $800. I've called 3 local gun stores and the price they're quoting is anywhere...

    SC unanimously strikes down civil asset forfeiture practices

    "Its unanimous decision for the first time prohibits all 50 states from imposing excessive fines, including the seizure of property, on people accused or convicted of a crime. " Asset forfeiture I can see something like this going both ways. Still, I'd have to say that since it was a...

    Her Title: Cryptologic Technician. Her Occupation: Warrior.

    I came across this NY Times article. I'm going to post the link to the article but I don't know if it is still a live link. The title of the article is in the subject line of this thread - you may be able to find it that way. I've never thought highly of women in combat roles but if this...

    What is causing the fouling on case neck and shoulder?

    This is the 3 re-load for these 264 Win Mag cases. However, I've been seeing a lot of fouling on almost all of the cases from this rifle no matter if they're virgin brass or not. It seems to have gotten worse lately though. Sometimes the entire neck and shoulder are fouled 360 degrees. Can...

    What comes first, correct OAL or charge weight?

    First off, OAL for me is an incorrect term. I don't measure from case head to bullet tip. I measure case head to ogive. Having said that, I have stopped trying to count how many variables that have to be overcome to develop an accurate load. Bullet type, bullet weight, primer type, powder...

    History of 338 Win Mag

    I know that among 338s, the 338 Lapua magnum is where it's at as far as long range is concerned. My question is, did the 338 Win mag ever fill the same role, either as a combat weapon or as a long range round?

    Internal dimensions of .260 Lapua case vs. .260 Remington

    I have new Lapua brass that I'm going to use to try to improve my groups. Although, they're pretty good to begin with. Having said that, I've always used Remington cases. My typical load for the Rem cases was 42.0g I4350. H4350 shoots just as well. But as I was going to start weighing out...

    I've heard of bullet jump but this is a leap of faith

    Just got a case of Prime 260 ammo and the first thing I did was measure case head to ogive of the loaded round. The measurements for 5 randomly selected cartridges were 2.131; 2.131; 2.136; 2.136 and 2.132. Since I just got a new CF barrel put on, I've been taking measurements to determine...

    Fieldcraft Are chassis systems being used in operations?

    I see a lot of xrgs and krgs and other types of chassis systems for sale on the Accessories forum. I have considered employing a chassis but quite frankly, they don't suit my needs. Consequently, I shoot McMillans, either hunting or A5 adjustable models. From my very brief research, McMs...

    Shingles - Who's gotten vaccinated?

    Man it seems like the Forces of the Universe are trying to send me a message and the message is "DUDE trust me on this - get a shingles vaccination." 2 weeks ago, we had a guy and his wife over and the wife started telling us about the shingles outbreak she had just had in March. Horrific...

    Is there a brand of brake or a brake design I want to stay away from?

    Don't know if this is the correct forum but here goes. I'm getting a Proof CF barrel and I'm thinking about a muzzle brake. It appears that there are several good models of brakes for sale. Is there one brand or one design that I want to stay away from? Either because it kicks up a lot of...

    Pennsylvania Hunters

    Do you know that it's illegal to use a LRF when hunting in Pennsylvania? Yes, because it emits a beam it's illegal. And thermal technology? It's illegal too. Doesn't matter that it doesn't emit ANYTHING. And digital light enhancers like Pulsars? Yup, illegal too. Because it's an...

    Gunsmithing Stock vs Chassis weight

    Lately, I've been seeing a lot of guys employing these skeletonized chassis - Cadex, Manners and what have you, I myself shoot McMillans - HTGs and A-5 adjustables. My question is - isn't it true that these chassis actually weight more than McMillans? Which, of course, could be a bad thing or...

    Best (cheapest) place to buy Proof barrels

    Well Christmas is coming and since nobody knows what I want for Christmas like I know what I want for Christmas I figured I'd treat myself to a proof CF barrell. I've looked at StockeysStocks and a few other places but I was wondering if anyone had found good prices. If so, I'd appreciate your...

    Range Report 260 Rem 130 gr ELD® Match

    I've always handloaded but for kicks I decided to buy factory ammo. Can't afford some brands so thought I'd try Hornady. Has anyone else tried it and if so, how did it shoot for you? And yeah, I did see the thread about bad Hornady ammo. Thanks.
