    SAC 260 Rem

    I have three rifles built by Mark and SAC and they are all hammers! This will be a great rifle for whomever buys it.

    300 WSM on Bighorn TL3 Short Action

    I love the 300WSM. It is my favorite cartridge in the lineup. I was hesitant to build one on a short action as like to run the VLD's and wanted the mag room. I have known a lot of folks have a ton of success with it though and if you aren't running the heavy VLD's, id say do it! You wont regret it.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles v Maven

    I have had a Kahles prior and got rid of it. Wished i hadn't ever done that. Found another LINB Kahles for a steal and couldn't pass it up. I was looking at a Maven though and decided to pass on the new Maven for the Kahles. I think I made the right decision, but still curious to know what the...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles v Maven

    I believe it is as well. That being said, I haven’t compared LOW glass to Kahles side by side. I have 2 AMG’s and a Gen 2 Razor, just never had them side by side. I can get a great deal on a Kahles 624i LSW SKMR3. Was leaning towards the Maven though until this came up. I anticipated people...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles v Maven

    Before I get jumped on here, this is a serious inquiry. I have Maven binos and they are amazing. I hunt with a group who all use Swaro EL binos and a few felt a little buyers remorse once looking through the Maven binos. That said, the Maven RS.4 glass is good. I feel like it’s very similar in...

    Which cans will this work with? I am assuming this is a CB break? Sorry for the question.

    Night Vision SOLD - SPF Flir PTS233 $1,700 OBO

    I have a like new Flir PTS 233 Thermal Unit that I am looking to sell. It was purchased in 2017 from Sport Optics and has been mounted on a rifle one time to zero the unit. It has not been placed back on a firearm since. It has been a safe queen and I do not need this thing sitting around any...

    Sweet! I was hoping that was going to work. Thank you for the reply!

    7 Rem Mag - 7 WSM - 7-08

    So this is the route I went. I actually have an 18" proof 1:8 twist chambered in 7/08 and planning on running the 175's. Would be interested in any information you have. Plan on working up a load soon and trying to decide on the right powder. I have plenty of Varget and H4350. I have 8lbs of...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Thank you, sir! I’ve got about 150 bottles above but figured I had better exclude since it wasn’t shorty rifle related. lol

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    I have some 150gr Norma factory ammo for the donor brass and I'm going to load some 175 Berger Elite Hunters. 1:8 twist and a free bore of .120. Set up to run the heavies. I am also going to try some 168 VLD's when I can find them in stock somewhere. I have had quite a few people think I am...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    SAC Alpha 11 18" 7-08. I pulled my 23" 6.5CM barrel and had SAC get me setup with this 7-08. This should make for a great hunting rig. Just need to work up a good load for it now. SAC Alpha11 Action 18" Proof Barrel Chambered in 7mm-08 Manners T-6A Elite Tactical Lay Up Mike Bush DBM Timney...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Curious to know how your 175's run? I have an 18" proof barrel chambered in 7-08 coming and looking at running 175 Elite Hunters. SAC is doing the work. I had spoken to Mark Gordon and am expecting to have a compressed load, but he hasn't done anything for that type set up. What kind of velocity...

    Bullet Seating

    This was the reason for the post originally. I don't disagree with your 1-4 above, but based on the study that Mark Gordon has done, its possible the order doesn't necessarily follow this path and long jumps aren't as bad as once thought for some bullets. He fond sweet spots for some bullets...

    Bullet Seating

    I have a load for the 6.5 CM that's on the slower end. Its amazingly accurate, but I have been wanting to speed it up some. Along with working up a new load, I was going to play around with it as well but I will likely start over and play with jump a little too. I was going to place in there...

    Bullet Seating

    Agreed. I meant "Guessing" within the Start and Max loads that are published. Poor wording on my part.
