Have a link? I have seen the 180gr/30 cal (for $1.22 a pop :eek:), but not the 6.5...

I wish they were available as a component...

What your entire argument is ignoring is physics. The *same* atmospheric conditions that affects your 200 yard zero also affects your 100 yard zero, albeit to a lesser degree. If atmospheric conditions change enough to move your 200 yard zero by 2", your 100 yard zero will have shifted by...

I cannot remember ever *missing* a big game animal. Small game is another story... My shotgun skills are not what I would like them to be... When I was 12, I wounded the largest whitetail buck I have ever had a shot at (even to this day), He was less than 40 yards, and I hit him low in the...

I've shot Spott Hogg Hunter (pre MRT) and own a Black Gold Revenge 5 pin. I prefer the Black Gold pins. Mine are .019, .019, .010, .010, .010 That said, I wouldn't replace a Spott Hogg just because, but if I was buying again it would be a Black Gold.

What are you looking for? Left or right handed? Long or short action? Magnum or standard bolthead? flat-top or accutrigger? internal or detachable mag? Where are you located?

Ohh I absolutely understand that... I understand what you are saying, and I have spent far too surviving while others try to kill me in foreign countries to just do it myself in a moment of stupidity. That is why I am asking for advise from those with experience. I do have the Speer paper...

Ok, I went and looked through Hogdgon's info again... It seems their data is VERY conservative... With the 100 grain Partition their starting load of 51 grains is listed at 46,800 CUP, the max of 54.3 is listed at 51,400 CUP With the SPBT their starting load of 48 grains is listed at 43,000...

Ok, I am preparing to begin load development for my Savage 25-06 (26" barrel). I have never reloaded before. I will be using Norma brass with 110gr accubonds. I have decided to start with H4831 for powder. Nosler's website lists 47 grains as a start point, with 52 as a max (and most...

I am not sure if this belongs here, or in the elk forum, but this seems more appropriate... First a bit of history... I am a left handed shooter, but I learned to shoot with right handed bolt actions. When I first started to dabble in "long range hunting" (at that time any shot at an animal...

I have not found anything yet... I am really interested in the one in Racine though...

Would it be foolish to believe that all the chambers and dies were cut with the same reamer?

Interesting you would say that... I personally have shot many deer, with several calibers and differant bullets, as well as witnessed many more... 5.56mm (<200yd) - 1 DRT 2 runners 6mm Rem (170Yd) - 1 DRT 25-06 - (10 - 417Yd) 15 DRT 7mm-08 (30 - 160Yd) - 4 DRT 3 runners 308 (20 - 270Yd) - 4...

A little story, then the questions ;) I am a left handed shooter, several years ago I decided I wanted a new rifle in 6.5x55 Swede. I could not afford a Tikka (the only manufacturer who made a LH Swede), and I had always been pleased with Savages in the past, so I set out to build a Savage...

Anybody?
