With all these new powders, people overlook the older ones. RL22 does amazing with the 7mm.

When I switch from lead core to solids I always clean to bare metal then run a few solids down before looking for accuracy. I just picked up a savage ultralight in 280 AI. Box of ammo through it just to start the barrel break in, cleaned up and then using 145lrx and 6.5 staball I did a quick...

How was the velocity? I plan on using hammers unless the 145lrx shoot significantly better. I use the HH out of my heavy 7mm RM. Took two deer last year with it, very clean killing bullet.

I plan on stuffing my 280 AI ultralight full of H1000. I started with new Peterson brass and 180gr ELDs. Just a middling load of H1000, but nothing shot over an inch at 100 so I kept it at either 56/57gr and just am doing a seating test. Sometimes it's a pain breaking in a new rifle, but at...

Custom or factory? Purpose of rifle? Desired bullet weights? Reload or factory ammo? If custom, pick the easiest to get brass/ammo for and both will do well. Factory, well more than likely 22-250.

I don't own a 6.5-06 nor do I own a 35 Whelen. That being said, a 30-06 will always be my go to hunting rifle. I've taken moose and deer with it, leant one to my brother and he slammed a moose and deer with it last year, chased all over public lands with a carbon barreled 30-06, and just plain...

I wouldn't call them new, they are huge in the 6.8 SPC community. Been around ten years at least now. Great bullets and they still windowed mags to increase oal of 223, 6.5G and 6.8SPC. More pigs have been taken with it than you can count.

My M88 shoots rl15 under a 150gr hotcor superbly. I try to keep it simple with this rifle.

I dunno, I don't mind the look at all.

I took two whitetail this year with the 143 hammer in a 7RM this year. I won't be switching back. 310 yards took a small deer through the lungs easy, low chest shot. There were no lungs left. Second one was a decent 7pt, 255 yards. I over corrected the low hit and spined this one. Finished with...

Magpul has an mlok bipod adapter. Just a quick mlok bipod adapter Google search provided many hits. The magpul one is on Amazon and is small.

Low 60s with RL23

Good luck. There's water everywhere. It rained an abnormal amount all summer long. Usually after a dry August I hunt wet spots, but this year the two I've gotten so far were in fields.

Twist rate? Purpose? I use a 26" on my 7mm and had thought many times to cut it down. I hunt in Colorado for elk so I want all the velocity I can get. In Maine, realistically no need for the extra length. I have taken two deer so far this year and both were in low light situations, and both...

I just did a dream rifle. Not a hunting rig but something I can teach others to shoot with. My Rem700 sps tactical in 223 had a shot out barrel so I grabbed a new Bartlein tube in heavy varmint 7.7" twist, had the well worn action in the blue printed, pinned the lug and set up with a 223 wylde...
