A couple from this year

It has a SWFA 3-15 on it.

I forgot it’s a 155 hammer hunter. coal is 3.520 and that’s .020 jump. A total of 12 rounds for load development. I will shoot at 800 soon and confirm drops and bc

7mm REM mag 26 inch barrel, 8 twist with a long throat. RL 23 66-3173 66.5-3208 67-3221 67.5-3259 68-3267 68.5-3275 69- 3312 69.5-3314 70-3319 ejector mark/pressure signs Went with three rounds of 69.5 to confirm and shot a .4 moa group at 300 yards

Ar 500 is fine. I shoot 155 hammers at 3300 and they don’t do anything to it. I think my plates are 3/8 maybe 1/2.

I was hoping to try the .284 160’s but they require a 1-7 twist. I have a 1-8.

I have shotgunned a ton of coyotes. It’s amazing how it knocks them down instantly. I shoot #4 buck. I have successfully knocked them down out to 70 yards with a 3 1/2 inch mag and an ultra full choke. When I was shooting 3 inch shells I couldn’t reach out as far. I used to pattern different...

Oryx go into heat year round. You will always find bulls in herds with cows because of this. You also will see calves year round. Either time of year will be very similar. I would pick which ever time works better for your schedule.

If you you are looking at Alliant powder their website has multiple 338 win mag loads with 225 grain bullets

Weatherby vanguard in 300 Weatherby Hinges floorplate is 3.575

It’s all gone. It says one in stock but I tried to order it and they said zero available.

30-06 is definitely not dead. My dad, my uncle and my brother all hunt with one for all their big game hunting. It may not be the new and exciting cartridge on this forum but it is still one of the most popular cartridges and a very good choice.

Boretech is good stuff. You can Lea it in over night. I also have had good luck with wipeout. Foam up the barrel let it sit over night patch it out in the morning foam it up again and patch it out that evening and even badly fouled barrels are clean

No offense taken. Yes the parallax was set correctly. That was the first thing I double checked when I saw the group and was still behind the scope.

Thanks for the replies. It’s a 1/8 twist 26 inch barrel. The action is pillar and glass bedded. I don’t think it’s the bedding because I have a 168 smk load that shoots consistent at .5.
