If you were to work up a load with 100 grain corlokt psp in a .25-06 would you feel comfortable changing to 100 grain nosler partitions with the same charge without working up?
I'm looking at Mcmillian stocks and like the swirl pattern but I'm also looking at a few paint patterns. How well do the paint patterns hold up? Even a solid paint color? How much abuse or years do they need to see before its time to repaint them?
I love guns too - buy new ones, and go back to the old ones... but I always buy more new ones... Is something wrong with me?
I would replace the 7600 with the new model of the same line! I think it is the 760?
What do you guys think of this cartridge?
What can I expect for barrel life?
Recoil similar to a .30-06?
Anything else? Should I go with the standard .280? If so why? I refuse to jump to the 7mm rem mag
Just shot 3" no.2 7/8oz load @1550 - On a newspaper 2'x2' or so I got 89 hits @30 yards. About 70%, nice spread, evenly distributed.
Going to shoot a few more to get a better average.
Estimated that there are about 125 pellets or so in this load - how many hits should I have in a 36"...
Well thing is I'm only going out for one weekend this year... Currently I only have a 20 gauge that is rated for steel. I only want one or two geese and then I'll be calling it quits for this year's season which is why I want to make due with the 20... I'll be getting a very nice 12 gauge in 8...
I did consider that as I know those give really tight patterns - Only problem I see is that a lot of guys use smaller shot like 6. Would hevi shot 6 work good? I'm thinking I need hevi shot in size 4's would be ideal which I tried but my patterns are literally so bad that I could miss a goose...
I've been trying to find a good factory goose load for my 20 gauge... but really I don't know how many pellets or what kind of density I need.
Can you guys post pictures of your patterns that you feel are acceptable and good out to ___ range.
I tried patterning heavy shot #4's - 2 3/4"...
Is a pictinanny (sp) rail a full length weaver style mount?
If not what do you perfer along with the Leupold dual dovetail or STD mounts?
I just got my first weaver style mounts today and I love the ease of use with the weaver style mounts as they just fix in place. I was using Burris...
It's hard to answer what bulk is best when you don't list nearly all the types of bulk.
I like first the Federal Champion bulk in the blue box of 525. I then like Winchester Dynapoints and the Winchester Box of 333. I'll then take the Winchester Xpert box of 550.
I shoot with iron sights...
I keep hearing about the accubond/interbond - what about rem's ultrabonded?
How is it for consistency/price compared to nosler and hornady?
Does it hold together as well? I'm looking for a good bonded bullet for my .25-06.
They did a test somewhere sometime... and found faster is better - I beleive it was between the .223 ad 308 - maybe the military versions... idk, anyways it was found that the .223 penetrates thicker metal...
I've always believed that Rem Thunderbolts hit the hardest, I wonder what they would...
my advice is use the accubond for elk - the sst is more comparable to the ballistic tip which would be great for mulies.
As for powder use any of the many that have a good track record in the .308.
Why does everyone say no?!?!?
Sure it might not be the best thing to use but it would be interesting for a time or two.
The gun will be 30lbs or more... it will be long and awkward to carry around but it'll be great for sitting on a hill top
A 50 BMG will NOT make a deer explode!
Get some...
Sorry to call BS but you need to compare bullets of similiar construction/purpose. That would be the Nosler Ballistic Tip vs the Sierra Gameking and the price difference is
26 for 100 vs 16 for 50.
So I was just looking at Barnes website and I want to point something out...
Barnes has a 62 grain and a 70 grain TSX in .223
They say the 70 grain is to be used in a 1 in 8" twist
They say the 62 grain is to be used in a 1 in 9" twist
Has anyone successfully used the 70 grain in a 1...
I'm loading 52.0 grains of IMR 4350 in my .30-06 shooting 168's and my velocities are varying by 600 fps. All my rounds are loaded to the same overall length + or - a few thousands and my powder chargers are accurate to within 0.1 grain.
I've chronied many rounds... about 15 or so. Most came...
The title says it all... If I'm working up a load how many grains would you skip per load?
If you find two that are pretty good would you then work up and down .1's from them to find the best?
How do you do it? I'm shooting a .30-06 and so far my best load is right at 52.0 grains if IMR...
