what does ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, mean? Lab

Hi guys I was wondering if any of you guys had tried the 140 grains swift A-frame in a 6.5-06 Ackley and if velocities around 3100 fps would be obtainable with this bullet. Thanks - Labrador

Wonderful! Many thanks! Klaus

Hey guys Could anyone tell me what the nosler reloading manual no. 5 suggests for loads with reloader 22 in 6.5-284 with the nosler partition 125 grains bullet. Thanks - Klaus

Hey Guys I have had difficulties deciding between the two calibers 7mm weatherby magnum and 7mm STW. I have finally decided for a weatherby accumark in 7mm weatherby magnum. In case I one fine day would like to have it converted into a 7mm STW, would it then take more than a reamer? I was...

thanks guys for all the answers, I really appreciate them. The winchester 70 is really the rifle I like the most, so I also liked your answers ;-) Lab

Hey guys I have learned that few custom rifles are build on ruger M 77 Mk II because of its rather low accuracy potential. This should primarily be because of the controlled round feeding. But then what about the "new" winchester Model 70 that also has a controlled round feeding system? Is the...

Thanks for the advice, Kirby! I am a lefty so the rifle at gunbroker is really not an issue, though it seems to be a fine rifle. Labrador

Hey guys Does anyone know whether its possible to convert a 6.5x55 to a 6.5-284? If not, would a 22.835 (inches) barrel be enough for a 6.5x55 Ackley Improved. I have found a really good offer on a Sako 6.5x55 but would really like one of the two other calibers mentioned. Thanks for your help...

the 7 Rum weighs 7.5 (lbs.), I do not have particular 300 win mag in mind, I was just thinking whether the two calibers were comparable approximately. Thanks - Labrador

Hey guys For the moment I consider buying a 7mm rem ultra mag rifle because I found one to a good price. But I am a little worried about the recoil. Is the recoil similar to the recooil of the 300 win mag or is it heavier than that? I would not want a rifle that kicks harder than the 300 win...

Hello Could anyone tell me something about the construction of wildcat Bonded Core FBHP bullets. Is it pretty much like the accubonds or swift scirocco? Or is it a partition construction? Thanks for the info - Labrador

okay that makes sense but the difference between these two caliber's barrel life can not be great, or? lab

Hey guys I have read on several posts that the 6-284 is a barrel burner but I can not understand why the 6-284 should be harder on barrel than for example the 6.5-06 AI. The reason that I mention these to calibers is that I am in doubt which of these two caliber I should rechamber my rifle to...

thanks again Could you tell me what 5c means? Labrador
