Just a note; I believe the round is advertised as "Approaching 6.5 cm ballistics". External ballistics point of view; sure I'd buy in to that statement.

I finally found a load that shoots well out of my 257. Barnes 100 grain TTSX, 73 grains of reloader 25, CCI magnum primers, coal 3.282, shooting at 3500 fps out of a 24" tube. It's a ragged hole at 100, and at 200 I can keep it under an inch if I do my part. I worked up to 75 grains of...

Thank you FEENIX. That's exactly how I use my lead sled. No weight no clamp.

I said the rifle was shooting 4" groups at 200 with 15 mph winds. Sorry I freaked out over not attainning my normal 2" at that range.

We've had 15 mph winds this week. I shot this morning with no wind. 1" on the 338 and 1" on the weatherby.

Yep agree, but I forgot to mention I use a lead sled. So my shooting is rock solid. I shot a one inch group with my 338 at 100 yds and then printed a 2" group at 200.

One thing I didn't check (just thought of it). Action screws and scope mounts could have loosened up.

I worked up loads for my howa 338 win mag and my weatherby vanguard 257 weatherby. 257 had 70 gr of rl 25 with a nosler 115 grain partition., 338 had 72 gr of imr 4350 with a 200 gr hornady interlok. Took them both to the range on a very windy day and got confused. The 338 did what I...

I'm in. Thank you!

I have the patience, but a lack of knowledge on bedding. Are there any good resources out there on how to bed a howa/vanguard? Do you bed just the lug area, or lug and tang, or the whole action when you bed them, do you tape only the front of the lug? I'm thinking I could use the existing...

I have a howa in 338 win mag and it is not grouping well. The stock on it now is the hogue overmolded pillar bed with the howa name on it. I want to upgrade the stock and see if that improves my groups. A b&c medalist or a hogue over molded full length bed stock is what I had in mind. I'm...

I have a friend with a dpms. Maybe we'll see if the upper and lower might be able to work. No promises, but if I get a chance I can post the findings.

Lol. Thanks, before I got the AR 10, I already had two AR 15's. One is my 'rifle rig' in 5.56 with 20" barrel, free float tube and A2 stock, and the other is my 'tactical rig' with rails and collapsible stock. I was actually switching lowers so i had a collapsible stock for coyote hunting. I...

I'm not sure which it is, or if it's their own. I could call PSA or I also have a friend who has a dpms 308. I could see if my lower will fit. I bought everything from psa, because I didn't want the headache of piecing together incomparable parts.

I've wanted an ar-10 for a while now, and i pulled the trigger, when i found PSA selling a complete upper with stainless steel barrel, nickel boron coated bcg, and lower build kit for 629.99. The lower receiver cost me 100.00 with shipping and dealer transfer. 729.99 later, and I have an...
