    Velocity Question

    Ruger M77 Hawkeye, 24" barrel, OEM as OEM gets. I haven't done much with this round. I had planned on taking another rifle but last minute things have made their way into my plans again so I had to work up a load for this rifle. It is on the light side but was accurate enough. I was ~.7 MOA. I...

    Velocity Question

    I'm sorry but I am not sure what forum to ask this question in. I have been reloading for my 300WM for my hunting trip however I was not able to get a chrono on on my load. Can someone give me an idea based off of my specs? Is that possible? I just need to calculate my drops and while I know...

    Range Report The Hornady 140 amax ammo. The OLD VS THE NEW

    I'm not sure if people are still experiencing problems with 6.5 CM factory ammo but I read through this and other posts indicating problems and wanted to share my issues. I have three lots which I shot last Saturday. I had heard people were having great success with factory ammo so I jumped in...

    Half baked barrel cooling idea

    I didn't like the idea of moisture either. A guy here on the hide (don't remember his screen name but if I find it I will update) built a contraption that works really well. He was looking to get a patent on the design but not sure if he ever did. It is basically a PVC tube long enough to slide...

    New product reveal pending, are you in?

    I think this thing is bad ass and I am sure I will get a lot of use out of this. Glad I opted in! Maybe just a short rail extension off of the back would work which would allow the addition of the atlas we already have. I don't see dimensions so I am not sure how long this is but it could work...

    Manners Forest Camo

    This stock is in the forest camo pattern. Not sure about cerekote colors others are using but I like plain ol black. Here is another in better lighting taken prior to shipping it to me.

    Show Your Hunting Rifles!

    I'll Play... I wanted a 6.5 Creedmoor in the worst way but decided it had to be more than a paper puncher. The primary purpose is for hunting. I put the SWFA 5-20 scope on it for the time being however I have a Zeiss 4.5-14 x 44 that I like and will change it for the upcoming season. This is a...

    Sig 522 Rifle - Who has one?

    I have a 522 and have never had a problem with any ammo. Its a great rifle. Accuracy... When I shot it a bunch, I couldn't get it to shoot 1" groups at 100 yards but I have fired a lot of rounds since and improved myself, so it may very well be able to do that. If you can get it for a good buy...

    SAC 6.5 Creedmoor - New Build

    Hahaha, yep, it is a T6A. I was talking to my buddy about the T4A i have on my savage when I typed this up and had it stuck in my brain. Sorry about that. I have the T4A with the 90% carbon fill and I am anxious to see the weight difference. I tossed around the idea of the Elite Hunter but...

    .22 LR ammo is back to normal

    I live in Frisco, TX and find it regularly at the Academy store here in town. Limit two boxes per, but they have it almost every time I go in. Price is not normal but not outrageous.

    SAC 6.5 Creedmoor - New Build

    I am planning on using factory Hornady ammo for starters. I have about 400 rounds of the 140gr AMAX and then I will reload that. Regarding the melonite barrel... Pusher591 did this with his build and I did some research and figured I would try it out. I hope to see some positive results. Well...

    SAC 6.5 Creedmoor - New Build

    Looks like the wait is finally over. I received pictures today from Mark on my build and I am really pleased. I hope to have this in my hands by the end of the week but wanted to share a few specs and some pics. I should wait until it is in hand to post some pictures but I am pretty excited...

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    If I may ask, what peep sights are you running on these and how hard is it to install a set?

    What does it take to get a reply from a gun builder

    SAC has been very responsive. I have seen several others post that even with all their badgering, Mark was very patient with them and they were very happy with their build. In my communication with them since agreeing to have them build my rifle on the 30th of January, the longest I have waited...
