    Range Report Need advice on Light anti material use.

    Personal experience showed me that a high alloy 300WM can penetrate 3/8 AR400 out to 300yds. Bought some steel for my range and before you know it, my targets had lots of holes that looked like someone had taken a punch to it. High alloy + 3000fps = holes.

    Range Report First time behind a bolt gun

    Set your scope forward and in a prone position, while you are on the gun move the scope back to a full field of view on the highest power setting. The prone position does not allow for turkey necking like other position's. Use a feeler guage between the rail and bottom of the turret for plumb...

    Favorite Ballistics and Load development programs and software

    A friend and excellent gunsmith Roy Williamson taught me that even 3 Rem 700's with consecutive serial numbers will have different harmonic's in the barrel. He said when you purchase a new rifle try different manafactured ammo to see which has the best accuracy, so when handloads are not...

    Thoughts of 300 win mag

    With Berger's .308 230gn offering you can nearly match a 338LM and at 2800 it does not go subsonic for nearly a mile.

    Gunsmithing Remmy 700 bolt issues

    The tool is only as good as the user, no one said dump as much in as she can hold. Excuse me. oil it and blow it out again. Running a bone dry trigger is like anything mechanical, movement needs some lube even if it's miniscule.

    Hunting & Fishing Largest animal killed with a 22lr

    I have heard countless stories of people trying to kill badgers with a large handgun to running them over with pickup trucks. Dispatched a couple looking up at me from inside thier hole 22lr to the adams apple does the trick!

    Scope bubble level?

    My shooting partner showed me how to use feeler guages to align my scope parallel with my rail for plumb (bottom of turret to top of rail) flat to flat. The level's that I tried to use, distracted me and gave false readings. It's true you need to be plumb for long range but I have had better...

    Single stage press upgrade advice

    I pick up presses so that when I get the bench space they are going to be designated 223 or 300WM so I can keep the dies in place.

    Single stage press upgrade advice

    Rookie Q; Explain .300 Win Mag

    God rest his soul! When I found my Rem 700 XCR LRT the FFL said he was looking for 2 Fort Carson SF's and where the hell did I find Mine. Just lucky I suppose. Loved the 300 Win ever since.

    Intial load work up, .223 - 69gn HPBT - Pressure Signs?

    Going to your 69gn HPBT I have loaded 26gn of Varget with that bullet and used it in everything from a mini 14, Bushmaster 16 inch BBL to a Rem 700 VSF 26 inch and found that to be kind of a pet load.

    New Berger hybrid lot varation. Need some help with this please.

    Must be when they tool back up for a production run. The 230gn .308's I used last year had to be bought in quantity to get all the same lot #'s for consistency.

    Rookie Q; Explain .300 Win Mag

    In my opinion the 300 Win is by far a better choice. I can find ammo nearly anywhere (when the democrats aren't in office) even all over Alaska. With a 230gn bullet I can almost match the mighty 338 Lapua, that same 230 Berger does not go subsonic for nearly a mile. With a muzzle brake and heavy...
