    Fire formed 7mm next steps

    OK guys I've fire formed my new +/- 1 grain Remington 7mm brass and would like to neck size all future loadings and do all the proper things that I haven't done in the past to milk out all the accuracy I can out of my Hart accurized factory Model 700 SS. Problem is I have always been an FLR...

    .25-06 loads?

    56.5 grains IMR 4831/ 100 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip/ CCI BR2 primer /1/2 MOA out of an InterArms Mark X. I have killed deer regularly out to 300yds with this load. Longest kill @ 347 yds. Recently I have been tinkering with the 110 Accubonds in a Thompson Encore with a 26" Heavy BBL...

    RT2506 you are a wise man at the range :D I collect mine at my range during our annual site in weekend which is open to the public !! I recently posted this as my process for new bulk brass from the #4 guys: What I do with 100 pieces new brass is: 1) full length resize (wipe off lube) 2) trim...

    whats the best brass

    IMHO: #1 Lapua (limited offerings) #2 RWS (if you can find it) #3 Norma (readily available in most chamberings) And the best of the rest: #4 Winchester/Remington/Hornady ( because these are so close in quality standards, price should dictate choice) #5 Federal Everyone has there opinions, this...

    Got a quick brass question

    IMO, no. What I do with 100 pieces new brass is: 1) full length resize (wipe off lube) 2) trim 3) debur flashole 4) chamfer case mouth outside/inside 5) uniform primer pocket 6) tumble Then I weigh each case and I sort them into lots. With Win or Rem brass I usually am happy to get 50 out of...

    Let's NOT argue about BC's

    It might be the ballistics calculator: :) "A ballistics software foundation rests in its ability to predict accurate trajectories, matching field results as the ultimate test. Nearly all ballistic software take for granted that a specific drag function correctly describes the drag...

    25-06 bullet problems

    I used 100 gr Nosler BT's for a long time out of a .25-06 Rem on deer with great results in the "dead deer" column. But what I found was numerous core jacket seperations. I would find a hole in and a hole out but recover the jacket inside the animal at various ranges out to 320 yards. Dead is...

    .25cal Elk Bullets

    I'm relatively new to the sight, I joined to get some long range perspective on my soon to be semi-cutom 7mm Mag. That said I have been toting a .25-06 out to the killing grounds of Maryland for 30+ years now and can attest to the virtues of the quarter bore. IMHO, .257 is the 'modified" Rodney...

    7mm Rem Mag Retrofit

    Hey all, New to the site but not new to reloading for normal (350 and in) hunting ranges. Decided to step up my game so here's the setup and a few questions from a newbie: Factory Rifle setup: Model 700 SS 7mm Remington Magnum 24"bbl (100-150 rounds fired). Killed plenty-o-deer. Nikon 4-12x40...
