    7.5 or 8 Twist for 115 DTAC

    Re: 7.5 or 8 Twist for 115 DTAC I'm shooting a Rock 27" barrel with a 1-7.5" twist chambered in 243 Win Match by GAP, it shoots fantastic with the 115 DTAC's. If I was you I'd go with the 1-7.5" twist.

    New Hornady BTHP Match Bullets

    Re: New Hornady BTHP Match Bullets The new Hornady 30 cal 225 gr BTHP sounds like a great bullet with a BC of .660 and their new jacket technology but I believe the 240 SMK has a BC of .711 so it definitely has the edge over the Hornady with the really big magnum cartridges. I'll definitely...

    Load for a 7wsm

    Re: Load for a 7wsm 67 grs of H1000 pushes the 175 SMK out of my 27" Broughton 5C barrel at just over 3000 fps. It's a max load but very accurate as it's shot quite a few 5-shot groups in the 4"-6" range at 1K,. Wayne aka WAMBO

    338 LM load data for the 300g HYB

    Re: 338 LM load data for the 300g HYB I have shot the 300 Bergers out of my 338LM at 2750 fps using 91.5grs of Retumbo. Accuracy has been good, 1/2 to 3/4 MOA out to 1195yds. The rifle has a 1-9.5" twist 30" Rock/ABS 5R barrel. I have shot them faster but 2750 seems to be the sweet spot for...

    Why not US 869 for 338 Lapua?

    Re: Why not US 869 for 338 Lapua? I concur with bodywerks, the 300gr Berger with a BC of .818 launched at 2750 fps ( which is where my 338 LM likes them )will be supersonic out to 2000yds at 2,300 ASL according to JBM. My load is 91grs of Retumbo, haven't tried US 869 but I do have some so...

    which manners "feels" most like an A5

    Re: which manners "feels" most like an A5 I would have to say the Manners T4 is pretty close to the A5. I have 2 rifles built off the Sako M995 action, one in an A5 and the other in a T4 and they are very similar. Wayne aka WAMBO

    Gunsmithing 7rm to 338?? Bolt face question for the wiser

    Re: 7rm to 338?? Bolt face question for the wiser The RUM is an easy fix, I had a 7RM action rebarreled to a 300RUM and I believe the smith just had to massage the feed rails a bit along with changing the mag box and follower. Wayne aka WAMBO

    .284 winchester velocity

    Re: .284 winchester velocity I'm using 55grs of 4831SC to get 2950, 56grs gave me 3020 but like you it was a little too much. I'm sure the longer barrel helps some but only getting 2800 seems low. I get 2850 with the 180 Berger using 54grs of H4831SC. I tried RL-17 but the accuracy wasn't as...
