Boss was having similar issues with a 30 06 and it took me a long time to get him to give me the gun to look at it. The barrel was hitting the stock pretty bad. So much so it wore the bluing off where it was hitting. I sanded the barrel channel and shimmer the action a tiny bit. Had it...
I'll work with what fits in my mag but if I end up where I need a little more room I'm my mag I might look into the file and getting more room in mag. Right now ill start with whats recommended in my loading manual.
3.38" barely fits in my mag. I was looking at my mag and it looks like I could take a round file and maybe get a little more room for longer bullets though.
Just loaded some 150 ELD-X to see what my rifle will do. Also loaded some 139 Hornady Interloc that I got with my Hornady Dies. Using Fed215m Primers, H1000 powder for 150g bullets and IMR4350 for 139g bullets
I picked up some 162 ELD X today and some new Winchester Brass for reloading...
Question, something that someone suggested was not to trim the brass after its been shot in the rifle I'm loading for, because it's fire formed to that rifle. It shouldn't stretch anymore and it should fit the rifle better and should be more accurate. I do realize federal brass is some of the...
I found Federal 215M Primers and bought 1000 so I should be good. Probably didn't need that many but I've heard they are hard to find so loaded up. I'll probably start with 162 ELD X and also try the 160 Accubond as well. If the 162 ELD X shoot great in my rifle ill probably just start there...
I felt the 4-16 was too much scope for my liking when it came to hunting. If anything I'd look into something like the vortex viper line. I went from the crossfire line to viper and been very happy with it. The viper tracks very nice and pretty good glass for the price point. I don't believe...
Made a couple swinging licking branches ad they are slowly starting to use them. I've been running these cameras on my parents farm for my boy since he'll be hunting out there. One of my Primos Proof 2 Cams had the alkaline battery explode inside them Abe ruined tv's wires. I fixed it but it...
I haven't bought the Hornady ELD X yet but I appreciate the feed back. I'm not a Barnes fan, but maybe sombre day. Friend of mine swears by the Berger bullets and told me to try them. I might but Hornady is easy for me to get locally most everything else I'd have to order.
Again thanks...
Thanks guys, yeah giving out load data is understandable a hesitation. I'm looking fire accuracy and dependable. I have other powders as well but the load data I was looking at had h4831 as one of the powders. It's been recommended in my 243 just thought it might be good in the mag as well...
I have a factory 7mm mag with a 1-10" twist. I'd like to use Hornady 162 ELD X bullets and was curious if anyone has any experience with this newer bullet. Does anyone have any load recommendations? I already have H4381 for powder but still need primers. Have brass as well nothing fancy just...
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. My boy is 14 and just starting to buy his own stuff. He has saved his money to buy a new Hoyt bow and is now trying to get the rest of the stuff for his bow. He doesn't have a job so the chores he does helps him earn money. To me right now it's about getting...
Just recently picked up a new vortex viper hs 2.5-10x44 BDC reticle. I had a vortex viper hs 4-16x44 duplex reticle but felt it was too much scope for my hunting needs.
The new scope is great, love vortex products. This scope has very positive clicks, great clarity, and around 16oz of weight...
