New bullet coming from Hammer. mtmuleyThey are going a little over 3800 fps with H4831sc. My last reading with Retumbo was over 3950 and I went up in charge weight from there but my chrono didn’t pick them up. The groups with Retumbo weren’t what the rifle was capable of so I “settled” for the nearly sloth-like H4831sc load.
BTW - using a light for caliber bullet is a good recoil reducer. 200 gr Accubonds were pretty punishing in this rifle.

200 grain Accubonds at 3200 punish elk too. mtmuleyThey are going a little over 3800 fps with H4831sc.

Yes sir. They’re making a 105 gr AHT in .264 caliber.
Now that you mention it, the hexagon barrel .338-06 he did trips a few triggers for me!

I’ve always wanted a BLR. I would also like to have one of the Browning .22 automatics that you load from the stock.

Back in the early 2000s my dream rifle was a Remington 700, 24in fluted stainless barrel somewhere between a Sendero and a magnum sporter profile chambered in 25-06, mounted in an HS Precision stock. I had it built, and enjoyed it for about a year. That was until I discovered my next dream rifle. I traded it on a Ruger Redhawk 44 mag and a Remington 673 in 300SAUM (my new dream rifle). I still own that one. But later on down the road I decided my dream rifle was a 280AI in the factory Remington 700 titanium Bell and Carlson stock. It happened that my 280 mountain rifle was due for a barrel, so I built my newest dream rifle off of that platform. I used it to take my dall sheep. In between all that I had other dream rifles. I wanted several, and bought or built most of them, and sold a majority those as well. A quick glance at my safe showed me a glaring hole the other day. I don't have a proper wood stocked, blued action, bolt gun. I'm currently looking at buying or building one close to my previous 25-06, but blued and in a wood stock. Dreams change, but that won't stop me from trying to buy those dream guns just to see if they are all I make them out to be.
Edit: Another dream is a 338-06 bolt gun. I shot one several years back that a buddy has, and it has yet to leave my mind,

I love my Barrett Fieldcraft in 6.5 Creedmoor. A little light at 6 lb 13 oz with fixed 6X scope and full magazine. Excellent stock. Maintenance free stainless. Tons of excellent factory ammo. My goto for literally everything in North America.
