My brother just shot a decent 6 pointer at only 10 yards with my 6.5 Creedmoor using 140gr Amax, probably hit at solid 2720fps. This was my first real experience using this bullet on game, but it shot so accurately in the gun I couldn't resist. it turned vitals to mush and destroyed far side...

I have a t3 ctr in 260, love the rifle. I also put a sightron siii 6x24 moa. The scope tracks good and has good optics for the range and daylight hunting. However, the reticle is very fine and does not show up well at very first or last daylight, often when at least whitetails come out in my...

I bought a sporter b&c for my 308 with #2 profile. I bedded the action and it is rock solid. sjnce this is just a hunter rifle for me I couldn't justify the McMillan, and very happy with the b&c.

I am seriously thinking of getting a B&C with the full length aluminum bedding for my Howa 308 sporter. Currently my Howa has the pillar bedded and rubberized hoge stock now which I bedded...it is serviceable and hold zero well, but I just don't like the stock. Drop the howa in a B&C and add a...

side note: i just fondled one of these in the Chattanooga Cabelas yesterday, on sale for $799. After much waffling I walked out without it, but admit I have second guessed that decision ever since.

WOW. that is sweet

Can you, well sort of. I do agree with Mitch. I have a NM with a Bassett scope mount, which works well. The question also depends on what you call long range. If hunting out to 400yds then ok, farther than that I might not suggest it. Mine does shoots 1 MOA with my handloads (168 SMK, LC brass...

for M1a specific reloading, I can highly suggest to spend some time on this site Ammunition - M14 Forum proper powder burn rate and bullet weight range are key reliability (and safety) factors in most semi-autos. I settled on 168 SMK set @ 2.80 OAL, 41gn H4895, LCLR Brass, WLR primers

Thanks much for the info. again, great job.

Looking great shootnmathews! Just curious how long "in the flame" are your cases with your setup?

great job guys!

while I have never owned a Savage, heard good things. I have been doing some shopping for a light weight rifle, and admit that looks like a pretty good setup for not much $$ at all!

agree 5-7 second burn should be good for the average med size cases (@308/30-06) without a concern of overheating. I watched many videos online and the 5-7 seconds seemed the norm for a single propane flame. I am using slightly thicker brass in some cases (lapua, lake city) than winchester or...

Thanks for all of the comments. Here are some more lessons learned for those thinking of building something like this. - cake pan: the real cheap ones ($0.88/e) at walmart have a lip that I believe is angled too much and I don't think will work. I bought one made of thicker metal and much...

Thanks much! After doing a lot of reading, it became clear that dropping them in water did not accomplish anything.
