thanks, yeah there are a few places online with available brass. Im just trying to trade away some bullets or get some discounted, unwanted brass.

Looking to pick up some Lapua 6,5-284 brass at less than full price. Either once fired or new. I have bullets to trade if interested 147eldms, 140eldms, 130 berger hunting VLDs in 6.5 129 barnes LRXs in .277, open box accubonds 95 berger vld, 87vld, 87 barnes ttsx, in 6mm a bunch of open box...

i meant for the new HTR bullet

do you think a 25-284 with a 7.75twist will loose any BC?

love the 100grn tsx. Im pushing it with 55grns of RL-22 somewhere around 3250-3300fps and super accurate. It is a killer. Shot a small deer in the heart with it just a week ago at 105yrds. Entrance wound tore a 3" hole and exited making a 2" hole. Deer ran ten yards and all his blood was gone...

Anybody shooting a 280AI with the heavier stuff? 162amax on up to the berger 180. What coal are you keeping in repeaters? I'm thinking about rebarreling one of my Tikkas and keeping most everything else stock, meaning my coal has to be 3.350 or less to fit in the mags. if less than 3.350, what...

Another funny thing about this story is that, in high school I had a gym teacher who was a hunter. One day we were talking hunting and he told me about a time when he accidentally filled both his tags. His story was nearly identical to what happened to my friend, only he wasn't backpacking and...

couple years ago I was back pack hunting with a buddy something similar happened. While cresting a ridge with our packs still on (hiking into our spot) we stopped to glass for a minute. While I'm stupidly looking about 300yrds away my buddy spots a buck right below us in a ravine. He says don't...

I own a tikka 25-06 ss. I bought it to use as my deer hunting/backpacking specific rifle. I have loaded the 110 accubonds, 115 bergers, and 100 ttsx. With no load work up at all, all three will shoot 3/4" or less @100 (4 shot groups). 53.3grns of RL-22. I chose the ttsx this year just because...

I've been thinking the same thing. Barnes Has the LRX, but the BC's leave a little to be desired. Also might look at cutting edge bullets, I think they are solid copper as well?

another interesting thing I've found with my tikkas is that they will shoot anything. I have not created a load that would not shoot under and inch when I do my part. I just pick the bullet I want to shoot, load with a caliber appropriate powder, close to a max load and shoot. Never had to...
