    7wsm??

    Try a load with Magpro and 162 grain ELDXs. That's going to be my next recipe.

    Stuck bullet after ejecting live round

    Thanks guys for all your help. I will check all the things you suggested and report back when I get the rifle back from hunting camp. The rifle is brand new with maybe 50 rounds through it and it has been cleaned at least once.

    Stuck bullet after ejecting live round

    Thanks Don, I'll try that when I bring the gun back from hunting camp. By the way, the bullets are Speer 80 grain HPBT's.

    Stuck bullet after ejecting live round

    I get the neck tension theory but it wouldn't be getting stuck if it wasn't hitting the lands, right?

    Stuck bullet after ejecting live round

    The case lengths are all 2.0" and the manual says it should be 2.045" . The bullet is obviously getting stuck in the lands but I can't figure out how.

    Stuck bullet after ejecting live round

    The brass is all new and never shot. I am sure I measured it at the lands and backed it off. The first time it happened THE OACL was 2.64. I made a note in my book that the lands were at 2.625". My manual says max OACL for a 243 is 2.710. After the first time it got stuck I seated them...

    Stuck bullet after ejecting live round

    I hand loaded some 243 rounds for my sons 243 Ruger American. Twice now after ejecting a live loaded round it has become stuck in the barrel. What the hell? After the first time it happened, I went and seated all the bullets deeper in the case. The original length was well under my books and...

    Stupidest Mistake Hunting

    18 degrees out and ice flowing like crazy on the river. Birds were everywhere. We decided to back the 350 inboard jet in and get after them. A mile up the river after titanicking through the ice at 30mph I notice smoke coming out the back and water on the floor. I was gonna beach it but the...

    Help with Blood

    I'm not exactly sure how it happens, but I've seen it happen quite a bit and have talked to others who have seen it. It's gross.

    Help with Blood

    Pull the knock. Is the arrow full of blood? If yes, that is a dead bull. If no, it's anybody guess.

    California Ban On Gas Powered Cars

    That's good news! When they don't have enough electricity to run air conditioning, they can get in their electric cars and use the one in there.

    “Long range” non custom rifle advice

    I have a T3 Tikka in the 270 wizzum. It's light, recoil and price aren't bad, and 140 gr. Accubound kills elk just fine. People overthink this rifle/caliber thing way too much.

    Tree stand for elk

    Wind is everything as usual. Not bragging but I have over 20+ out of my precious tree stand. I have even double upped a couple of times. Don't worry about camo or movement because they don't catch it like whiteys do. A game cam will tell you if it's worth it. Nice thing is if you approach...

    Leveling Kit on 2020 Silverado

    I did Dmax store's Kryptonite front A-arm lift and tie rods but it's a 2500. It gave me a 2.5 inches in the front with increased travel. My angles are still well within spec. 70k on it with no problems. I also have 20's with nearly 35" tires and no issues.

    Tree Stand Safety

    I have never understood why a belt wouldn't suffice, as long as you only keep like two feet of slack in it. Way better than a harness that would let you fall four feet or so.
