Accuracy is good...

    Help with Fierce cold bore accuracy recommendations

Once I work up a load for a rifle on the bench, then I tune it for actual hunting conditions. I would...

    257 Weatherby loads with RL26

    I made the comment from a cold barrel. To duplicate hunting conditions after I have done my testing and arrived at a load I am happy with, I will shoot 3 shots starting with an ambient temperature barrel and fire 2 more shots about a minute apart, as I feel this will duplicate what I might...
