    Carbon six 6MM

    These are really good barrels. I just put one of these on my Savage LRP, had them chamber it in 6mm Creedmoor. It shoots absolutely awesome. Very happy with it. GLWS

    What’s your favorite cartridge?

    I’ve been a huge fan of the 7rem mag for decades. I have only 2 of them, one is my Ruger M77 mark II, which has been a great rifle. Aesthetically, I think it’s one of the prettiest Mauser style actions ever made, the stainless bolt with the traditional blued action just looks beautiful in my...

    800 yard rifle

    Since you said you’re thinking of a new build, I would give either the 7Prc, 300Prc, or the 338 Norma serious thought. These cartridges are improvements on what’s already out there. I am a HUGE fan of the 7 mm Remington magnum, and the 300 Winchester magnum, and the 338 Lapua. All of those cases...

    Some 7mm A-Tips (166 grain)

    I have some Hornady 7mm A-Tips taking up space. I don’t use these so I’d like to move them. There are 92 left in the box. $65 shipped to the lower 48. If anyone uses these, I’d be interested in making a trade deal for some 7mm Berger 168VLD’s, or Hammer bullets in 7mm or the 260 grain 338’s…

    SOLD/EXPIRED Sightron S III 6-24x50

    I have for sale a Sightron S3 series scope. Originally put this on a 6.5 Creedmoor and it is a hammer of a scope. I took it off and switched my glass, and this has been sitting in my safe collecting dust. It will come with the scope cover and a the sunshade, in the original box, it still has the...

    Playing with the Ec tuner

    I picked up the EC tuner brake also. I really like it. I put it on my Tikka 7mag Roughtech. I’ve told my friends it’s the only brake I’ll buy now. It’s a well engineered brake to begin with, and offers the option of effective tuning for the same price as a good brake with no tuner. When funds...

    300 grain SMK (338 cal)

    Len and Jill- I really like them in my Norma. From what I’ve read, the Norma was designed around the 300 SMK with magazine feeding in mind. I’m getting about 2670fps with my rifle, using N570. It’s dirty burning powder, but it is excellent with SD and ES numbers. My rifle started as a...

    300 grain SMK (338 cal)

    Looking for some Sierra MatchKings for my 338 Norma. I have a nice load for it with those bullets and would like to get my hands on some more of them. I also have a few boxes of (matching lot) Lapua Scenars in 300 grain, 338 cal if anyone is looking to trade or buy them.

    Shooting Steel

    Unless is was thin plate, I don’t believe it was AR500 rated steel. It may have been advertised as such, but I have been shooting steel for a long time. I have hammered mine at 100 yards with my 338 Lapua, using 300 grain MatchKings at 2750 fps. All it did was knock the paint off. My steels are...

    Shooting Steel

    Exactly correct. I have been shooting AR500 steel for YEARS. literally thousands of rounds from 243 to 338 Lapua from 100 yards to 1 mile. As long as it hangs and is able to swing, you won’t punch through it. Unless it’s not real AR500. I’ve seen a few shady places that advertise cheap ‘AR500’...
