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?

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

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...

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.

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...

I seated my first 200 .223 small rifle primers a month or so ago... Finally picked up a pack of 100 Large rifle primers and seated them in the 30 pieces of brass I have. I'm only working up a load for deer hunting and I got 100 bullets - it took about 3-4 times the effort to seat the primers...

Anyone use these primers? Are they safe? Do you have load data? I shot a bolt action .223. All my loads use rem 7 1/2 but I'm willing to switch to Federal 205M primers.

1) Do you buy factory ammo, shoot it and then reload with your components? This method would requiring buying about 1/5th factory ammo and shooting 4/5ths reloads. 2) Do you buy unfired brass and load up a round and shoot it to fire form then reload for ultimate accuracy?

1 - How much variance in powder charge is allowed on factory ammunition? Lets use .30-06 Remington core lokts as the example. 2 - How uniform or how much variance do you get using a powder measure? Lets use a nice ball type powder such as H335 and compare it to something like Varget - also if...

If they all cost the same, what would you choose - I'm sure accuracy of all would be within a minute of a deer anyways... so basically of the three, what one do you feel offers the best reliability, function, neat features, most durable... I sorta like the A Bolt features but I prefer synthetic...

So... I've been debating a custom build for about 6 months now but I'm having trouble justifying the prices compared to some factory guns/options/pricing That being said, on a scale of 1 to 10 how happy are you with your rifles? Also if you can type a bit about about why your happy with...

The title says it all, can or does neck sizing only increase case (the brass) length?

I'm looking into my first custom rifle and I'm wondering how many flutes are common on a barrel? Also how long is standard? - Like on a 22" barrel would you flute 18" and leave 3" on both ends, 2.5, only 2? 1? What is normal. I want to find out as much as I can before I start talking to the...

How much water do you think a .30 165 grain partition/accubond/tsx style bullets would go through @ 2600 or 2700 fps? Will they stop in 3.5' of water? I plan to shoot into a barrel on its side through its lid.

Alright guys... lets compare a 140 grain 6.5mm SD .287 bullet to a 165 grain .30 caliber SD .248 bullet. Lets also say both bullets are nosler accubonds or partitions traveling at the same speed - impact velocity say 2500 fps What one is better at crushing/penetrating bone? The 6.5mm 140...

Ok, I understand that the recoil lug goes between the barrel and the action. It has this piece that drops down, I'm assuming it drops down into the action inletting and then you use some bedding material and it bed it in their real good, take it out let the bedding dry and then it will slide...

anyone know any good sites... that have an extensive library of pictures of McMillian marble patterns and the color percentages? I've searched on google and found a few, but I'm looking for more. If you have any pictures, please post, if you know a good site please post thanks. Also if...
