Not really having problem only had it not go boom twice in probably 50 or 60 rounds and think they had been sitting up loaded for 5 or 6...

    high buck brass vs cheaper

    Since no reloading forum I figure this best place to ask. Any real difference in say Hornady Or Norma brass and the winchester or Remington stuff,shooting wise? Not looking for competition shooting with one hole for 5 shots at 1000 yrd just a good quality piece to work with. If the difference...

    Best long range target firearm

    I said 308 win and was asked what win. I just shorted winchester in the comment. 6.5 does not loose all th way around, but it is not a winner in quite a few areas it is touted as the best there is, It is pretty much just smaller bullet in 308 case with some tweaking. When you look at numbers...

    Best long range target firearm

    hoew does it beat 308 .Even with 25 (165 vs 140)gr more bullet the 308 is only 11" lower and pretty sure with 140 gr to 140 gr that would be almost dead even. now that is at 1000 yrd. Yes 11" is alot but when you are talking allowing for 350 plus drop what is another 11". I guess the 6.5...

    7mm bullets

    never said I was going to be shooting deer at 1000 yrds. I more than understand what is involved. I would not take 1000 yrd shot at deer due to lack of energy for a good clean kill. As for capable yes. I have shot 1000 yrd shots before with a guy who use to shoot 1000 yrd competition...
