    Howa Super Lite 6.5 CM

    I don't know of any replacements for the Super Lite because it's a different version than the standard 1500 or the Mini. I cranked mine down to the point where I thought it would split, but fortunately it's held, and the gun shoots great! I'd reach out to Legacy if I were you; they should...

    Shipping a stock- UPS/***???

    To be clear--they're (UPS) still shipping if you're a licensee and have an approved account with them. So, yes, you'll still receive gun parts from approved shippers, but they are not accepting gun part shipments from non-licensed individuals anymore.

    Fiocchi now offers copper bullet option

    It also looks like just a hollow point--no black tip that I could see.

    Howa mini actions?

    No, it won't. The receiver itself is longer on the Superlite than the Mini, and the bottom metals are different dimensions.

    Howa mini actions?

    Don't forget the inbetweener that they're using on the Superlite...I think it's a scaled down short action.

    Howa mini actions?

    I don't believe so--you need to find one that specifically calls out fitting a Howa Mini.

    Hunting optic….strict $300 and 28 ox weight limits

    The Fullfield E1 4.5-14 is my favorite budget scope so far. I use the Ballistic E3 one for simple holdover/BDC. The other one that I like is the Bushnell Engage 3-12 Deploy MOA. Doesn't have a zero stop, but has push/pull turrets. The S Tac that @gr8fuldoug recommended looks to check most of...

    Norma BondStrike, TipStrike, and J&A Abram bullets

    Again, very impressive detail. Thank you! Curious about the Abram, as the combination of a small meplat/hollow point and lead all the way to the tip inspires confidence that you wouldn't experience over-expansion. However, I would almost think that it could possibly act like some of the other...

    ELDM vs ELDX (construction-wise)

    Pretty incredible detail. Thank you for taking the time to put that out there.

    christensen arms ridgeline, I need help.

    I believe loose action screws might be a common theme with CA guns after they've been shot. My buddy has a Ridgeline that shot lights out, and then got inconsistent--he found the action screws were loose, and tightened them up. Voila! Back to being a sub-MOA gun. I've made it a habit of...

    christensen arms ridgeline, I need help.

    @62flint I see you updated your thread on LRO. Hoping you’re squared away. They gave you a lot of good advice as far as trying to eliminate variables to your equation. Just wanted to make sure and remind you that you had a lot of inquiring minds over here too.

    Hammer ballistic coefficient tests...

    From the Peanut Gallery, I understand the energetic defense and also the criticism of Hammer, as it has been in the spotlight a LOT the last few years, and for seemingly good reason(s)--ease of finding a load, performance on game, responsiveness and helpfulness of Steve himself. My...

    180 Hammer Hunters 300 Win--which powder? RL26, Retumbo, H4350, H1000?

    Well, we'll see how they do with H4350 to start. Loaded .3 gr increments, starting at 70gr and ended up at 72.7 for right now in JAG brass @ 3.550 (seated right at the last driving band). Hopefully I'll be able to break away next week for some OCW testing of this batch.

    Thanks Steve--good luck on your Safari!

    180 Hammer Hunters 300 Win--which powder? RL26, Retumbo, H4350, H1000?

    I listed pretty much what I have. I have H4350, H1000, Retumbo, and RL26 (and Staball 6.5, which is smack dab in between 4350 and 4831, but don't know if load density will be there.) I think I have about 2/3 of a can left of H4831sc, and will most likely seat out to 3.5-3.6
