    28 Nosler with 180's best powders?

    I've been loving the cartridge. So far all my accuracy nodes have been at around the max loads, and my most consistent load so far is with US 869 and the 175 ABLR 0.015" off the lands running just over 3300 fps

    Brownells action lube plus works great, so does Pro-shot gold.

    Scrubbit, I saw the flack you got on Gun Nutz...pretty brutal...You'll find more likeminded people here than there, who have actually killed stuff other than paper.

    Forming the brass shouldn't be an issue, but chances are you'll need to get whoever does the work will have to build your dies. PT&G has specials on their resize die reamers and blanks, I'd just order your chamber reamer & rz reamer & blanks at the same time. I'd recommend re-barreling rather...

    Vortex Viper PST Reticle Wear

    There is an easy solution to the spec on the inner lens. Take a bag of sand or shot and put it on a solid surface(work bench/table) now with the scope in you hand strike the sand/shot bag with the objective in a hammer swing style.

    muzzle brake for 308?

    Big Mike, I've been running an OPS brake on my R-5 all season and really like the trim design. I can spot my trace @ around 250yds. The Big Chubby works well as does Badger's FTE, but I like the OPS's cleaner lines. cheers

    If you want to lose some wieght from your rifle, have the flutes chased out so that they are the same depth the whole length, instead of the double depth flutes the come with. McMillan offers Edge tech on some of their A-series stocks and replacing that P.O.S. H-S stock that comes with the...

    Pac-Nor Barrels

    The shop I work at has put a mountain of Pac-nors. I've owned seven myself. I've slugged dozens of their Supermatch barrels and have yet to be let down by their consistency. I just installed another Supermatch 3 groove 6mm 8 twist heavy palma on my 6BR and it is one of the better barrels I've...
