    Tested out the Goat and flatline 256

    +1 I've shot the 198s on same range White Mamba is using with a 300WM out of a 32" 1:8 Bartlein. The come up from a 100 yard zero was 15.5 to 16.0 mils that day. The aggregate G7 trued to about .410. The load was a fairly aggressive charge of R26 that gave 3200 fps. With a 300 Norma, you...

    300wm Action / Magazine Options???

    I've used both the Accurate Mags intermediate and CIP length mags with the 300wm loaded to 3.625" with the 230 Hybrid. That is the length needed to touch the lands with the 230 after chambering with the PTG TacMatch reamer. QL suggests the boat tail will be at the neck/shoulder junction at...

    I need help.... Cartridge Selection.

    Much beyond a class of cartridges that goes from the 7 short mags through the 338 Lapua, all shooting heavy for caliber state of the art jacketed bullets, I haven't seen the added ballistic performance from the Cheytacs and 50BMG turned into hits at 2000 yard URSA matches. I've won 2 of them...

    Next cartridge to try?

    I also loved those Stevens 200 rifles while they were being cleared out. They're like fat girls, you can get them to do anything. It's only awkward taking them in public the first time. I started with a 6.5CM prefit, progressed through the 7wsm and 300wm and now use them for ELR test mules...

    Range Report Heavy 300 WM bullet options

    I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to criticize or undermine your 300wm choice. I was just admiring Laseredge's gun. I'm in the same boat, I have enough 300wm stuff stashed that it wouldn't be worth the cost of switching. I suggest the pick one and run with it approach is the way to go. There won't...

    Range Report Heavy 300 WM bullet options

    Add 300 NM to the if I knew then what I know now list. Again, not a huge difference, but if you're starting from scratch it's the way to go. Especially with a CIP magazine length Lapua setup. I'm running 8 twist barrels now. If you go to longer ranges and want to solve the optics travel...

    Range Report Heavy 300 WM bullet options

    The "Match" ELDs have better BCs than the "X" versions. The 208 is a Match version, the 220 is an X. The 225 ELD match has a better BC than both the others. I won the first URSA 2000 yard match with a 300wm shooting the 230 Berger Hybrid. If I knew then what I know now, I'd have started with...

    ELR Participation Discovery

    The most exciting handgun matches I've shot were American Handgunner style steel matches. Man on man, winner goes forward. The first URSA match was shot in a similar way, several relays, one target, one shot per shooter before the next shooters turn, one shooter per relay goes forward, no...

    Just express interest here? If so, my shooting partner and I are interested. Scoring details, or are they still being worked out?

    Savage 111 build?

    Not sure about threads, the Savage line doesn't get a lot of love around here. I have a 116 with the bottom bolt release I built into an ELR gun. XLR has a chassis that does the bottom bolt release very well. I have 300wm and 7/338lapua barrels for it. I went with the CIP magazine well...
