I bought the 28 when my 7 STW disintegrated (long story). I bought it specifically for the shorter case so I could load the heavier bullets longer which I couldn't do with the STW. SAAMI is 3.34" and I would like to load 3.55-3.60" which I can do easily with the long mag box on the Seekins. The...

Thanks to all. I will re-zero and go from there.

I bought a new Silenceco Harvester 338 suppressor. It makes every gun I put it on shoot 8-12"s low and 4-5"s left. I can't believe this is normal. I have a Magneto Speed chronograph and it affects some of my rifles accuracy but nothing like this Harvester. Dealer says just adjust and and shoot...

I have a 300 Ultra mag that the barrel is getting close to washed. If I re-barrel, I was thinking of converting it to a 28 Nosler because with my long action, I could seat the bullets out further than I am able with the ultra mag. I had heard that I could use my 300 ultra brass to make 28 Nosler...

I have been hunting and reloading for 50+ years and got smitten with the long range bug about 10 years ago. One of the first things you discover is the need for precise accuracy. I thought, at first, that all I needed were good new scopes, because I had hunted successfully for 40+ years before...

That's all I have ever done is hunt deer and elk here in eastern Idaho. My first gun was a 30-06 springfield. I pulled it out of a barrel with other used war rifles. Have always had an affinity for the '06. I shot many deer with its army peep sight until I could afford to put a Weaver 4x scope...

I really like the look of the Sherman. I will do more research. Love the info.

30 Gibb is also very intriguing. Brass is the big problem. Love the ballistics. Let us know when you begin testing it.

Thanks

Thinking of converting an old 30-06. Is it worth it in velocity gain?

Thanks. Best powder I have ever found for magnum loads and any cartridge that is overbore

I'm sure this has been discussed to death somewhere on this forum but the search part of this forum ,imho, leaves a lot to be desired. Why is there no RL26 anywhere on the planet and hasn't been any for many months. There isn't a "Hillary" scare anymore and so the hoarders ought to be satisfied...

I have two of these scopes and love them but only need it if I can sell one I dont like as well.. Let me see if I can Thanks.

Is the scope still for sale?

Good idea. I went back to 175 ELD-X's and the gun is very accurate again. I, evidently, can't stabilize the 180's because I'm not pushing them that hard. I have a 27.5" Bartlein 1-8 so it seems nuts that I can't stabilize them but with the velocity difference between the 175 and 180's the long...
