Strongly considering building a switch barrel hunting setup on one of the above mentioned actions with the quick change functionality. Anyone out there that has been running anyone of the actions for a while or anyone with the technical background that can provide no BS insight into the...

Playing around with some ideas for a build. Looking at either a 7mm SS or SAUM and heavier bullets with the 175gr EldX as my first choice bullet for hunting and want to seat the bt/shank junction of the bullet as close as possible to the neck shoulder junction. Ideally want to mag feed and be...

Thanks guys. I also played around with forming 6mm Rem brass from 9.2x62 and 30-06 to test a few things. Anyone still shoots SLR?

Sure there are a few guys here with some wildcatting or case forming experience. I prefer a case with a 35* shoulder and longer neck. Some guidance and consideration to take into account when you push the shoulder back on a case with sharper shoulder? Do you push the entire shoulder back etc.?

@Reload10 , I agree that there is enough supporting evidence to support my and your theory about the shorter fatter powder columns. Personally, I think there is a reason why f class shooters prefer rounds like the WSM, RSAUM and 284 Win and why the Dasher and BR cartridges do so well. This...

I think most of us would agree that part of the 300 PRC success to date can be attributed to some very good and sometimes misleading marketing. I've experienced some phenomenal performance (accuracy and low ES) with a improved version of the 300 NM, but a straight NM can make things a lot...

Thank you Rich, very helpful. Sorry, was under the impression that your 280 Sherman Mag was based on the some parent case as the 280 AI.

Hi Rich, thanks, what is the length of the neck? Isn't your 28 Sherman Mag based on a improved 270/280 case?

Thank you.

Thanks GoosePilot. What is your barrel length and velocities are you getting out of the rifle?

Thank for the input guys. Buster Hemlock, what is your experience like with the Stiller Predator action?

I'm mostly settled on a straight (or improved) 7mm SAUM / Blaser Mag or 7-270 WSM for my next build and I plan on running two different setups but identical chambered rifles, one for hunting and the other for target and steel shooting. The plan is to run 175gr-195gr bullets between 2950 -3100...

I grew up in South Africa, culled and hunted a lot and also guided when I was younger. Most important thing to note is the difference in kill zones between N.American and African game and based on the feedback of some of the guys that I guided is that some game are tougher. My recommendation...

This is roughly what I have in mind for a build or relatively close without being allowed the options of selecting things like custom trigger, twist rates etc and in this instance a 6.5PRC. BLASER R8 LONG RANGE GRS STOCK RECEIVER R8_Long_Range_GRS BLASER R8 BOLT HOUSING RH TAC KNOB...

I was scared of the thread being sidetracked, but still appreciate your input to date. howco, I'm starting from scratch after I sold all my rifles before immigrating. So I have the ideal opportunity to try optimize my safe based on my requirements and I feel that a single platform can meet my...
