    What’s wrong with the SA 2020 Waypoint rifle?

    Well, I went out last weekend and ran a test on both rifles. Shot a few 3-shot and 5-shot groups, then used a Lead-Sled, and also had another accomplished PRS shooter shoot it. Unfortunately, no significant difference between any of the above. See sample of a couple groups (target dots are...

    What’s wrong with the SA 2020 Waypoint rifle?

    I have two Waypoints. I bought the 6.5PRC for a longer range hunting rifle and the 6.5CM for NRL Hunter. They're good looking, lightweight, and have great features but... I want to love them but I just can't get them to shoot well. With the PRC I can get several loads to print two holes...

    50-50 with Everclear should protect you down to around -20F!

    22.250

    I had to implement quality control measures in my reloading process, not because I was smart, but because of ammo mishaps. Unfortunately, all happened during matches causing me to lose points but thankfully no injury or damage resulted. Now, because of all these dummy-head moves, I... A) use a...

    Ooooo! This is going to be good! Give us all the juicy (i.e., animal, shot placement, penetration, etc.) details. I'm going to South Africa soon and also looking for new Elk / Deer bullets!

    Vihtavouri powder

    What part of the country are you in? I may have 5-7# of n570 that I would be willing to trade for some RL26, H1000, Retumbo, etc. I'm from North Dakota but will be traveling to Colorado this weekend.

    Short Barrel Tikka 300WM (Supressed)?

    Bill, I have the Arbiter as well! Love it! 5.56 ball ammo, 22.250AI, 6.5 Creed, 270WSM, 300WM. Doesn't matter what goes through it. Love shooting suppressed. Has to be 2000-3000 rounds. Haven't cleaned it. Maybe another reason I love it.

    Short Barrel Tikka 300WM (Supressed)?

    I left it at 24" (and with the 9" suppressor, it gets a bit long). I should have trimmed it back a couple.

    Short Barrel Tikka 300WM (Supressed)?

    Shortly after buying two cases of off-spec 190 SMK Federal Gold Medal Match (you know...the Chris Kyle loads) at $100/case, I stumbled across a guy selling an unfired Tikka pencil (T3 Lite?) 300WM barrel (possibly because it had the dumb 1:11 twist). My smith spun off my 270WSM and threaded...

    Hang fires. Opinions on cause?

    I had a bunch of Win760 on the shelf so I looked up the starting load data for my son's 270WSM, assembled the rounds with magnum primers, and went out to try them out. After the second hang-fire we were very suspect and stopped. But between the two hang-fires, one round didn't detonate...

    What range finding binos is everyone liking?

    I'm torn on what to do. Hunting using Basemap: I love the basemap feature some of these RF binos are offering (Sig, new Leicas, ____) for locating downed game across a valley, wanting to get to a specific spot you can see but your mapping skills aren't the best, etc. Now, just press the...

    Nosler 6.5 150g ABLR??

    Has anyone read if an 8 twist will stabilize the 150gr ABLRs? I wasn't able to find it on their website.
