Thanks all. does make since that a little over size all around the bullet will allow a little cushion rather than harsh turbulence maybe on on side and could be detrimental to accuracy, Pete

That is what I thought, Bergara does not make a break for a .284 dia. barrel so they must put a .30 cal on I wander what the max dia. for the 6.5 is. Pete

I was getting ready to go out this coming week to load test some 180 Hornady's with Staball HD ,was cleaning the barrel and decided to take the break off and see what the inside dia. is. To my surprise it was as near as I could tell about .330,seems quit large for a .284 dia. barrel , according...

Thanks, I am not going to try and shoot it for pure velocity, I want accuracy, like a old gentleman once said "Only Accurate Rifles Interest ME"!! Besides speed burners are costly in noise, recoil and very hard on barrels and are annoying to other shooters at the range. When you sit at a bench...

It has a inside max length of 3.780

Just loaded up some 7mm PRC with 180 ELD Match with Staball HD,it will be shot out of my Bergara HMR wilderness, what length would you start with have 27 shells loaded with 3 sets of different powder charges and want to try some seating depths. My Hornady bullet o/l gauge shows the 180 hits at...

My last 7mm Remington Magnum I bought was a Rem. 700, 26 " was a great shooter with reloads, but could not find brass around here ,Gander Mt. was closing and had a big sale on Rem. factory with 150 PSPCT, bought 8 box's for 150,00 for the brass. To my surprise there was extruded powder ,ball...

I can NEVER understand WHY,WHY someone who plans a hunt , spends hard earned Rubies on a Hunting, Long Range , Target rifle that they are not a handloader !!! DA HEY BOB . Are you really going hunting with Ammo that is second rate to hand loads that are put together with labor of...

I have read 2 articles about barrel cut of ,I believe one was a 30 " and 1 a 32", anyway they were marked and cut off 1 " at a time,the surprising read was at 28 or 29 the velocity was a little faster than the original length,these guys were chopping a .338 Lapua ,now that's a high intensity...

25 below 0 and lite snow ,I remember pulling the trigger lifting the bolt and grabbing the case pushing another home looking in the scope just as she dropped, ^ feet over her back and add another 16 t0 18 inches of body and sighted in 3" high at 100..have no idea how fast it was going but...

I hunted the BearTooths ,The Big Snowies ,Pryor Mountains,so darn much BLM,National Forest land one could hunt forever and be lucky if he or she would see another hunter,if you were lucky to find a Rancher that bordered his land to BLM or National Forest you were in heaven. One of my favorite...

My 3 longest shots I ever made was with a 7mm Rem. Mag.back in Montana when I lived there for 20+ years ,.... In the good years of Montana,1966 to 1987 I had ton's of BLM Land and a lot of Ranchers land to hunt. I made a Cow Elk shot near Yellowstone Park in the late season she was uphill about...

Has anyone used LRT with 175 Hornady's with the 7MM PRC? Will be using Peterson Brass, Pete

I agree, load them to there potential and they will be scary accurate just have to find the spot. I think the main problem with long range rifles is the shooter, they head out west and spent lots of time with loads and shooting but forgot about wind, they forgot to watch prairie grass for how...
