My wife killed her buffalo with a .308. I've seen many elk down to javelina taken with the .308. I used to shoot my M1A in military match to 600. Best score at 600 yards (prone, no rest, open sight) was 200-14X. I am now preparing to shoot F-TR class which requires military cartridge out...

Gee, I didn't know rams lived that long. LOL!! Seriously my father had the Grand Slam (desert bighorn, Dahl, Rocky Mountain Bighorn and the Stone) plus the Billy Goat. Mounts are now in the Arizona Museum.

Looks like series wired D-cell holders for a 3 volt supply. The heads are positive to negative.

Totally agree. I have Federal primers that I bought 25 years ago and hey still work fine. They were packaged in non sealed cardboard boxes with plastic trays.

Just received 200 Berger 7mm 164 VLD's from Optics Planet. Reasonable price.

By the way, the total weights never varied more than one grain plus or minus 140 grains And within each bullet type the variance was less than .7 grain.

I recently purchased 500 "blemished" bullets from Midway, That from the picture on the advertisement looked like Berger bullets. This was the 140 grain 6.5 mm bullet. When they arrived I noticed that the meplats were somewhat different so I sorted them based on weight, meplat appearance and...

I think Kaliphornia is where you can get all the second hand THC smoke you can handle. But welcome anyway. 🤣

Definitely send back with your 2 photos. Could this potentially be dangerous?

Midsouth Shooter Supply just got a shipment of Berger 6.5 140gn VLD Hunter bullets. Bought 4 boxes. Didn't want to get too greedy.

I have the A&D with the autotrickler setup and have used it for the past 3 years. Reasonably fast and accurate to .02 gn which is about as accurate as you need. Note that .02 grains variation (basically 1 granule of Varget) in a medium cartridge will only affect MV by about 3-4 FPS. Other...

As a caveat to what Veteran says about burn rates, I have found that the Ba of every powder (I have used so far) consistently increases with increasing chamber pressure and temperature. The Ba listed by QL is only an average of many different load combinations but needs to be tuned to your...
