Pretty interesting video. Thanks

You may consider going to a flat base bullet to give you more case capacity but in any case I doubt you get past 2500 ft./s. I have had the best luck with CFE 223 and Winchester 748 powders and the short-barreled rifles. Good luck

With my 260 I use 120 pro hunter loaded to 2750fps. It has 16.5 barrel and been a great little hunting rifle. I know there is no magic bullet that goes through brush every time. It's mostly related to how and when the bullet hits the brush with a fair amount of luck. I also forgot to mention the...

I use 150 sierra #2125 with cfe223 out of my AR10 with a 16 tube. I get 2623 fps with 49.6 gr of cfe223. Good load for deer, dog and hog. I played around with the 178 eld and was able to get it just under 2400fps. If memory serves me correctly it was with a compressed load of reloader 17. Hope...

Thank you for the advise. I was thinking about setting up some kind of test to see how they compare. I was more thinking the rn or fn bullet might deflect less than a spire point. I remember reading some years back in an old NRA article that said the slug was most effective in rush. I'm not...

Hi, I have stared deer hunting in a new spot last fall and it has far more brush than I'm used to. I missed a nice buck last fall from what I believe was a small branch strike. I have cleared shooting lanes and I know I have to wait for my shot. Since shots past 100 yds in the woods are not...

Thank you for the replies. I usually do not run a crony when doing OCW test. It keeps from chasing velocity instead of accuracy. It looks like reloader 26 will be a good powder to give a go. It seems to have the speed and correct barrel time. I will pick some up this week and give it a try...

I have had really good luck with mine with. 165 gr SGK Winchester brass Cci 250 68.3 Superformance .020 jump to lands. I tried closer but mine did best at .020 I got 3113fps out of 24 inch tube 83 deg. This round has taken many deer out to 400. Never tried a hog there are none where im...

Hi guys, I need a little help and advise. Im working on a load for my custom built 243. I have narrowed my projectile to 100gr SGK. col 2.669 Fed brass 2.045 lenth Cci lr primer 54.4 gr of water Imr4350. Barrel 26 in 1-9.25 My issue is I found a good node at 40.3 gr but its slower than I...

The good new is there are many optics that will fit your needs. The only question is how much do you have to spend? For a budget optic I'm a fan of the fixed power. The lease expensive option I could recommend would be the swfa ss in either a fixed 6x or 10x for 299.00. If you want a variable...

In order to give you a good answer we will need more information. The most important question is what do you plan on using the rifle for? Hunting and for what at what range? Target shooting if so at what ranges? Then we would need to know your budget. After that we can give you options based on...

If I go with variable power I would want ffp. That does look like a lot of scope for the money. Any other suggestions?

Savage 110, savage 111, 2 Remington 700, and a custom built mauser. Factory barrels on all but the mauser. Mauser is a 28in krieger barrel.

I'm sitting at my loading bench getting to load up some ammo for 5 different 30-06 rifles to do some target shooting this weekend. Trying to keep the brass and load data strait for all of them is annoying. I am wondering have any of you stumbled on a pet load that shoots well in about any rifle...

I can see your point on the mil dots being very small guess I was hoping someone made a mill hash reticle. I'm open to other options. I want light weight, simple, decent in low light and mil reticle. I'm a big fan of fixed optics for simplicity. Just less things to fail. One I am concidering is...
