Hi has anyone got experience of hunting over 300 yards with the Grendel? If so is it much good at that range? I am thinking of getting one as its a neat efficient and supposedly accurate cartridge, but I am concerned its too much gun for foxes, rabbits etc, but maybe not enough for say goats at...

Hi guys I have a Howa 1500 and am looking to give it a new home. I am looking at the MDT LSS and Oryx as wellas the KRG Bravo. The Krg looks the best in my opinion. Which chassis is the best value for money and what are the pros and cons of each?

Hi guys I am looking to do a 6mm ppc with no neck turn, would a .270 neck be right? Also I have seen some reasonably priced dies from RCBS and Redding https://www.midwayusa.com/product/368528/rcbs-2-die-set I have contacted them twice and received no reply as to what size their die is...

Hi guys I have been looking for a stock for my Howa 1500. I can find plenty for short actions in both sporter and varmint. And some for long action in sporter but as good as nothing for a LA varmint. If anyone knows of any after market sturdy stocks that fit a Howe LA with a varmint barrel...

Hi I recently got a 22-243, with a 1:8 barrel, I have lots of 77gr smk and so plan on shoot them. As its a wildcat of limited load data I am not really sure of a load. I am thinking of starting at 37 grains of H4350 and slowly working up, I would really like to hear from anyone who has a...

Hi Has anyone used this action to build a 7mm STW ? Is the action long enough to handle the 8mm Rem Case? Would one in 300 win mag have a long enough magazine/bolt movement for the 7mm stw being 1/3" longer?

Hi guys I am wanting to do a 35-90. The idea going through my head at the moment is to use 45-90 brass and a 350 rem mag reamer run in .375" short. Using dies cut short too. My only concern is case head diameter, being .513 for a 350 and .506 for a 45-90! Is a .007" difference too much or...

35-90 Hi guys I am wanting to do a 35-90. The idea going through my head at the moment is to use 45-90 brass and a 350 rem mag reamer run in .375" short. Using dies cut short too. My only concern is case head diameter, being .513 for a 350 and .506 for a 45-90! Is a .007" difference too much...

Hi guys, I am going to build a Howa rifle in 6mm BR. A Krieger barrel is on order. I have a 243 donor rifle. I am set on my projectile and twist, but am not sure what stock or chassis to go for! I am looking for one that will maximize accuracy potential without breaking the bank. Please...

Hi guys I was just wondering if anyone runs a slow twist 7mm rifle? By slow I am talking 12 or 13 twist, and would it stabilize Sierra Varminter 100gr, Speer 100gr TNT, Speer SPBT 130gr, Speer SPBT 145gr? The online calculators say a 13 would work on all but the 145gr and a 12 would work on...

Hi, guys I have been flitting between ideas for this one and I mean a whole myriad of different thoughts! Like anything from 218 bee, 220 swift, 257 Roberts, 277 Weatherby Magnum, 7x57R, 300 Win Mag, 33 Winchester, 358 Norm Mag, 375 H&H, 405 Winchester, 40-82 and more! Mostly when I do a...

Hi guys, I am looking to have a Greener GP shotgun barreled in 40-82, and loading it with BP, or smokeless softly, but am unsure if its will make the turn, has anyone do this on a GP action or with a cartridge of the same length e.e. 50-90? If not how about on a large frame Henry Martini, if it...

Hi guys, I was looking at a Parker Hale for a low price, barrel is so so but action seems okay! Does anyone know much about these, specifically durability and reliability of the action/bolt and also the likelihood of them being accurate rifles with a good barrel on? Thanks

Hi guys, I am looking to buy a budget 243, of this list which would be the best bet? Browning A bolt CVA Hunter Howa 1500 Mossberg Patriot Ruger American

Hi guys I have an Enfield No 4 with a worn barrel. I am thinking of barreling it in 6.5x57r or 6x57r i.e a 6mm remington with a rim. The latter would be made using 6.5x57r brass. I am looking for a varmint rifle good for 200-400 yards. I would prefer to go the 6mm route, I am thinking 1:12...

Hi, does anyone here shoot 243 caliber 70 grain Nosler varmageddon tipped in a 1:14 barrel? If so do they stabilize okay?

Hi guys, I just wondered if anyone here was running a 50 Alaskan, with heavy slugs subsonic as a less expensive version of the 510 Whisper? If so, do you have/need a fast twist. According to stability factors a 1.8" 950 grain bullet should be stable at 800f fps in a 1:15 twist is that so...

Hi guys I recently bough a Ruger 1 in 45-70, it was for a good price. But for a reason, the barrel has been cut as short as legally allowed, the rifle is now a carbine and would be okay for something like a 30-30 but is no fun in a 45-70! I have had a desire for the grandfather of magnums for a...

Hi, do 77 gn smks group well as close as 100 yards, as I wondered if with a 1:8 twist, if the bullet would go to sleep quickly enough to do well at 100 yards? I know the 77smks are meant to be excellent at longer distances, I ask because I know the benchrest shooters do best with slow twist...

Hi guys just wondered if anyone has had experience shooting 77 SMKs? I have a 1:7.7 twist barrel and am wondering how hard you can push them before the RPMs get too high a damage accuracy? I read 240,000 RPM is the fastest you want to push a bullet, but in a 224 1:7.7 that's only 2500fps...
