Not sure if that was the title. I have a hard time remembering my name sometimes.

Back in 1969 when I was ten, we would go to the local movie theater in downtown Greeley Colorado and watch hunting movies. I remembered watching Fred Bear shoot a Grizzly bear with his recurve. Other movies were safari in Africa where they hunted every species from warthog to elephants. I also...

I’ve tried multiple calibers on PD. From July to October I shoot weekly in Wyoming. Started with .223 in bolt and AR. Shoot from 350 yards and beyond. Wind was an issues. Went 6.5 Grendel.. better at bucking the wind but expensive. Next tried an AR IN 6x45mm. Neck up .223 brass to .243. Shoots...

Franchi momentum elite 224 Valkyrie. Savage 110 6mm x45 AR15 17/223 Rock island armory bolt gun 22TCM

Contacted them through email. Looking for .277 170 EOL. They replied the same day. That particular bullet is not on their schedule at all. Maybe next fall 2023 since it’s considered a hunting bullet. Local gun store has had a $100,000 order for various Berger bullets for over 1 year.

I have been shooting a Savage 110 precision elite in 300 PRC for about four months. I shoot it weekly to a mile. It does have the MDT chassis and factory trued action. Mine is extremely accurate. Granted it is a target setup, but the function and caliber are the same as the LRH. My preferred...

I ran into similar issue with lite. Would throw several @ 75.3 then go all over the place from 74.9 to 75.6. Would zero and recalibrate. Set the pan on, zero would stable at -.02. Solved problem with creedmore sports scale and dandy trickler

Contacted Berger by email. Looking for the . 277 170 grain EOL. They said that is a “hunting” bullet and is not scheduled for production until the fall when it’s hunting season? Have not been able to locate any for almost a year.

I shoot the 170EOL and 165ABLR out of my 27 “ 6.8 western out to one mile. Berger recommends 1:9 twist or faster as does the Nosler. Berger has the twist listed on their yellow bullet box. I shoot in the California desert with this setup.

I have one I put together with a savage short mag tactical action. Bartlien 27” 1:9 barrel . MDT XRS stock. Trijicon Tenmile 5-30x 56 mm scope mounted on a 50 MOA EGW RAIL and rings. Loads are 57. 1 grains of 7828SSC/170 EOL and 165 ABLR. Built primarily as a target rifle . Have consistently...
