Wanted 7mm Hornady 162g Eld-x or 160g Sierra game king. Need 30-40 bullets to load for a a friend for this deer season. Been looking locally but still nothing available. Not trying to load for precision now just need to Zero a new scope and see what it will do then hunt.

It’s funny you should mention this. A friend of mine who I shoot with was talking about the very same thing. He said why don’t you re-barrel your browning a bolt since everything else is already set up and bring a fresh barrel to the game. I thought about this some more and the cost of the...

Thanks for the feedback. I actually live in Pennsylvania but haven’t hunted here in over 10 years. I do most of my hunting in other states. Got talking to a friend of mine the other day about what I wanted to do and I also spoke with Chad McCauslen over McCauslin rifles. Haven’t made a final...

Thanks for the feedback I looked at 65 PRC and 65 Creedmoor. Both of growing popularity

I currently have a browning 300 WinMag which I’ve been working on for years. Shoots pretty well out to 800 probably not is good is the guns you guys have but it’s the best I can do with what I have. With this build it will be my first custom. I like the 300 WinMag as long as it has a muzzle...

Does Anyone know of a powder that directly crosses over to IMR SR4759?

Other than the Alliant website, does anyone have a min/max load chart for AR Comp? Alliant calls out 25.6 for 55 gr projectile( max? Min?) Have read many threads that loads "can be" similar to Varget. Not willing to believe it until I see some published data. Want to run this in my AR's but...

I shoot a TC Encore magnum 50cal ML, 40.0 gr(****BY WEIGHT****) IMR 4759, Magnum Muzzleloader 3petal EZ sabot and Hornady #45200 (250 gr HPXTP) bullets. I have a gunsmith friend who recommended I try 38-42gr (*****by weight***** DO NOT EXCEED 42gr BY WEIGHT or CHANGE THE BULLET WEIGHT). 4 shots...
