Samspade, At the ranges you specify, holdover won't be simple but it can be done. The main reason for dial up clicks is a very precise aiming point at long ranges. In my experience magnification matters less than wind correction. Anybody can hold steady and shoot but **** few can judge the...

Goodgrouper, How tight is too tight? I am using a 22 cal brush on my six ackley and it is snug. I tried a 6.5 brush on my 308 and it was easy to push back and forth, but both seemed too work. Which is better? One caliber smaller or two?

holy crap!! They bought a bunch, but it is goin fast. Got two bottles this morning for $52.95!!! I tried it and man does it work!!! Scared i am going to contaminate it though!! G.G.- you said you had lots of dropper pippettes or whatever ya call them, where did you find them?

thanks everybody! I need to check trim length first but I will full length resize some of them to see if this helps. I checked the chamber for material and cleaned with jb paste. I will recheck with my stoney point gauge to see length. Thanks again. Lobber

has anyone ever had this happen? I have savage 10fp in 308. It has shot great from round one. I have 5 reloads on lapua brass. 43 gr of varget, 175 gr mk at 2.79 oal. Primer pockets were snug so I reloaded them again. use redding type s neck die and comp seater. The rounds chamber tight...

Ian, Who is the best for g2 contender barrels? I am looking for a 17 rem or 20 tactical for a contender?

winmagman, I have three savages and have 2 barrels each. In my very limited experience, if it is a standard case(no Imp) a full legnth sized case on new brass works best. If you are using a improved case I have learned it really doesnt take much force to turn the barrel and slightly buckle...

Davesok, I thought the same thing!! I didn't want to chime in on someone who can't type(Like me) but holy smokes!! This cat was typing how "Larry the cable guy" sounds!! Why would you tell a sob story about your buddy's girl in order to get shooting advice? I think there is something Stinky...

Re: Pics of the \"Phantom Fallow\" - Allen Mag field test in Colorado Cont.. Kirby, That is one mean looking sucker!! What country is it native to? Oh by the way, the deer is pretty nice too!!!! Congrats!!!

Re: Lead Lobber................. Sorry ackman, I must have missed the "short Range hunting" topics here. You showed me!!! I guess I better go spend more time diggin my 105 amaxes outta trees! I also think I am gonna go with a 17 rem. Obviously the long range accuracy stick!!!

Re: 6mm and prairie dogs...... Ackman, Why do you doubt peoples skill at long range? If you do why are you post ing on longrange hunting? If you have never seen anyone make first round hits at 800,900, and even 1000 yards, trust me it is not that rare!! I have Been to a few tactical...

Well i got bit by the short mag bug very quickly, and I had to have one! I have regretted it ever since. I wanted a rem 700 but none available at that time. I settled for a model 7 in 300 SA ultra. Flimsy stock, horrible trigger, binding bolt, and worst of all 1.5 in groups with every powder...

hey everybody, my name is gary and I "TEMPORARILY" live in utah. Born and raised in N. CA this place is definitely different?!?!?! There is great shooting and hunting here and that makes it bearable. The name lead lobber comes from my trials with my new gun, a 6mm ackley. It is personal...

iron worker, ever heard of necking down norma 7x57? I hear two things....works great and......makes even more crooked brass any opinions

3-6bits, Thanks for all the great info. I hope i can get this thing sorted out before i rechamber it. I spent alot on the the dies,seaters,brass,and bullets to stop now. But All my other ackleys have been so $&^%* accurate and easy. I bought a clymer gauge for 6mm ackley 40 degree, and...
