Well fellas, I'm quite a bit late on the story, but here it is.....(WARNING--LONG STORY) 2014 Spring Bear hunt in NW Montana. This is an annual week long trip for two guys I work with--its a great escape after winter. No bait or dogs allowed, so it's spot and stalk all the way. Day four, and...

If you ever get down to the Salt Lake area, I can give you a line on a couple of boxes of Rem 140gr core lokt at a gun shop. $50 per box if I remember correctly. My source of brass dried up, but I've got plenty for me.

Congrats Riley!! I know the feeling of not being able to find them! Best feeling ever when you do!!!

I've been using an RCBS #38 shellholder, and it's working fine for me for both the bertram brass, and the norma RUM brass. Just for fun I tried my brass in a #4 shellholder, and it worked just fine. Sounds to me like maybe yours has a burr, or some other issue.

I'm shooting a sendero in 7STW, with the 9.25 twist. I'm launching them about 3250 and keeping about 1/2-3/4 moa. (gun still shoots better than I do!) I quite like these bullets. Accurate, consistent, and they kill well! I've shot a coyote past 200 yards, a cow elk about the same, and a...

I've got two, a 6.5-20 and 8.5-25. I've killed a Bull elk, cow elk, and a coyote using it. Unfortunately, none of them were really long range. Bull was 300ish, cow was 200 ish, and the yote was 140 if I remember. I've killed paper and rocks out to 663 yards, and I've been really happy with...

Well, he wasn't exactly sulking and depressed, he just commented after the first few shots that he thought he should be getting closer to 3400. I explained to him he is shooting a brand new, factory remington with a pencil barrel, unbedded wooden stock, off of sandbags and taking the full...

I've got a Droid Razr Maxx with the otterbox protector/cover on it. A buddy of mine had an otterbox small waterproof box on his desk, and just for fun I put my phone in it, and it fit perfectly! So, I bought an otterbox 2000 off of ebay for $15, and my phone will be in it for hunting. It...

I did load development for a buddy's brand new 700cdl in 300RUM. He chose the 175 LRX. Using the powder and primers available, I ended up at 94grains of RL25 on top of Winchester LRM primers. 1/2 moa groups at 100yds, ES of 9.5fps for 4 shots, and I think the velocity was right around...

No crimp. Just RCBS FL resizing every time, bumping the shoulders .001-.002.

2.830 on my dummy round. The guy who was teaching me just had me set the accubonds at max mag length, so when I tried the Barnes, I just set them to the same oal.
