  1. 7mm-08 Freak

    Christiansen, modern carbon rifle.

    All I can say is I’d rather be lucky than good any day. That’s an over-the-counter rifle that hasn’t even had barrel break-in done on a windy ass West Texas range with blowing sand shooting factory ammo. I believe I’ll stop at the gas station and buy a lotto ticket on the way home. PS all these...

    Christiansen, modern carbon rifle.

    Another 200 yd group with Hornady outfitter 7 mm PRC 160 grain CX $60 box. I hate buying over-the-counter ammunition, but if it’s gonna shoot like that, I believe I’ll go buy a couple boxes. Save my ratty ass reloads(3holes to left same target) for horsing around.

    Reloading for the 7 PRC

    The only one I found was a bunch of guys cussing and discussion the seven PRC and how the 6.5 necked up to 7 mm is better or a 300 PRC neck down to 7 mm is better blah blah. Not yet talk about some wildcats that are copycats or some such. I’ll get to stumble across very many loads in that 15...

    Not too bad for factory ammo

    Reloading for the 7 PRC

    Man, it’s hard to believe nobody replied to that. I’m in the same boat. I just purchased a brand new one today and kind of curious as to what the normal is on bullet weight and powder.

    New to the 7mmPRC

    With powder being $60+ a pound Whats a good powder and load for the 7mm PRC with a 175 ELDX or 180 Berger? I have on hand some 7977, 8133, RL22 ,RL23. All apparently all unicorn dust now a days. I do not have any H1000

    6.5 PRC Loads

    I am thinking hard about getting into the 6.5 PRC game. I too am wondering about H4350 and RL16 as I have a LOT of it. I only have 3 lbs or 7977 and 3 of 8133. Id hate to work up a load with it and then run out.

    Bolt Gun load work up

    That is close to what I did several guns ago. I get tired of messing or looking at a gun and get another. MOST of the time the new gun will shoot close to what the last one shot well. almost everything I shoot likes H4350 or RL16. I have a lot of both so I don't stray too far from them. I am 20...

    Bolt Gun load work up

    I knew exactly what you meant (.130). Case capacity is not an issue it just looked funny to me seated that deep. I am 20 bullets into this. I don't think 20 bullets is wasting bullets. Less than 1/4 of a box! I am not loading a barrel burner either. Barrel life on a hunting rifle is not an issue...

    Bolt Gun load work up

    Not a fan of the boss either. I shoot suppressed 95% of the time

    Bolt Gun load work up

    There is no such thing as wasted bullets IMO. Trigger time is good time. I learn something every time I shoot. Been reloading for 40 years and and found SAAMI spec means nothing on COAL to me if it will shoot accurately, run in the gun and there is no high pressure. At .020 off how many of your...

    280 ai

    I have a lot of 175s of various mfg. Do you see bolt wiping and flat primers at book starting loads. I have 4 of those CA Ridge lines and every one of em are tight chambered and show pressure sings at modest or starting book loads. Speed it there but but in no way can you go mid book or book max...

    280 ai

    I just looked I have 3 lbs of 7977 and 3lbs of 8133. My last 280 AI LOVED 8133 with 175s. what bullet does that CA like. I hate the short throat so VLDs and ELDXs are most likely out IMO

    Have the same gun in Olive Drab. Have not started looking for a load. What does yours like?
  17. 7mm-08 Freak

    280 ai

    Now that 7977 is no longer available what do you use? I have like 1lb of it left.

    Bolt Gun load work up

    I'm not shooting VLDs. that process works for any bullet I have tried it with this is the first time ive had two decent groups with that process. Been using that process for 10 years. I am shooting Sierras

    Bolt Gun load work up

    I don't care how fast they are. I just want em all in one hole if possible I too have a 280 Ackley and haven't worked up a load for it. Id like to use the Game King 160 HPBT from Sierra. I have found all the Sierra 140s to be very accurate in the 7mm-08 with RL16 or H4350

    Bolt Gun load work up

    I don't ever trust a single group either I just use it as a test to go back and see if I can repeat it another day. You have got to start somewhere.
