I worked up a new load for my 6.5x55 with H4831s, Berger 140gr Hybrids and Hornady 5x fired brass last week at the range. Shooting in the shade and 65 Degree weather, I went from 45.0 grains up to 51.1 with no pressure signs. I knew 51.2 was a hot but fast/accurate load from another reloader, so...

I'd never seen this in one of their boxes before... But I appreciate the message. It was kinda like opening a fortune cookie.

I'm moving to Colorado and (hopefully) have some bigger game hunts in my future (elk). My current go-to rifle is a 6.5x55 that I absolutely love, but it weighs 15lb fully loaded. It's a bit much for a 145lb guy to hump up and down the hills all day. I was considering a Tikka T3 Lite in .30-06...

A few weeks back, I took my rifle out to a 0-500 yard class and got good, repeatable dope at 100yd increments. But I went to the range today and found that I was hitting ~0.4 mil high at up to 300 yards (Couldn't shoot further today)... my zero had shifted some. When I took the class, it was...

I'm not sure if Gunsmithing is the right place for this - mods please move if I'm wrong. I had a custom rifle built about a year ago, and had the entire thing Cerakoted in Sniper Grey (which I love). I have taken good care of the rifle, kept it oiled, but it is ~500 rounds in and it looks...

Sorry in advance for the rant... I guess I had pretty bad timing when I had my first custom rifle built at the beginning of last year with the .264"/6.5mm Berger 140 gr Hybrid bullet in mind for cartridge as well as throat and barrel length. I have only put ~400 rounds through the rifle the...

Shot this Brazoria County buck a few weeks ago from ~150 yards with a Berger 140 Hunting VLD out of a 6.5x55. It went out happy - chasing 4 does. The deer was hit mid-spine and dropped instantly. It took a minute to find the entry wound, and there were 3-4 pinprick exit wounds from shrapnel...

I'm looking to buy an 18" Noveske SPR in 556. Does anyone know what the current lead time is? I doubt I can find one in stock anywhere... Also, what is the best way to order... Call Noveske direct or call the local gun shop? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Hunting season is upon us, and most of the bullets I shoot are not appropriate for hunting, so I figured I better load up a few hunting rounds and test them out. I did approximately zero load development for these rounds. I took a powder charge that I knew would be safe in my gun and looked...

Hey, My local gun shop has a big pile of Mosin Nagants in stock, and I've been eyeing them... I never owned one before... what should I look for to pick a "good one" I'm not that interested in how pretty it is, more interested in safety, functionality, and accuracy. Thanks.

I recently had a 6.5x55 built and did not specify the a freebore / throat length I wanted, but I let the builder know that I was planning on shooting Berger 140 Hybrids / VLDs.... very long bullets. Despite that 6.5 bullets are IMPOSSIBLE to find right now, I think that I have an issue with...

Hello All, Just got back from the range with my first attempt at an Optimal Charge Weight test on my new 6.5x55 Swede! Specs: Remington 700 LA, blueprinted 24" Bartlein Med Palma 1:8 twist (round count = 40 at beginning of test) Berger 140 Hybrid 2.473 coal to ogive (0.010" jump) New...

NPR posted an article a few days ago on reloading... interesting that a topic like his gets ANY attention at all from a news source. Maybe one day the author will figure out the difference between "bullets" and "cartridges". With Bullets Scarce, More Shooters Make Their Own : NPR

Hey, I have a 6.5x55 build on the way and just got my reloading components and dies today (forster bump die and micrometer seater). I am going to be using new, unfired Lapua brass. I have heard some people say that I need to use an expander mandrel (which I don't have) on the necks first...

I'm new to reloading - 500 rounds in so far. I have been loading exclusively for my Remington 700 SPS 30-06 with a set of Lee neck sizing dies, loading 50.6gr of IMR 4064 into Fed brass bedinh 168 gr Hornady Match BTHP bullets. I weight every load individually on a scale, so I am confident in...

I've been shooting frequently for several years now with the same rifle - a Remington 700 SPS 30-06 24". Over the past 3 years, I have tried many things, but I have never been able to get the rifle to group better than 1.5-2.0" at 100 yards. I have spent a lot of money on upgrades and ammo...

Hey everyone...long time lurker, new poster. I was thinking about getting a new AICS for my 700 and I haven't seen any at the range or at my local shop so I was wondering if anyone in the Houston area had one that I could just take a look at? I'd really like to see one in person before...
