Hey guys, I know this thread has kind of gone off topic, but I wanted to post a final update on the most important part of load development...performance on animals. I was fortunate enough to take the largest buck of my life this weekend. He was a 5x6 with a gross green score of 164 1/2. The...

Hey everyone, thank you for your responses to my question. We have been out and started doing some load development and I guess that I won the lottery because I have a load shooting sub moa at 100 yards already and my friend has not been so lucky. His are closer to 1.5-2 moa at best so I feel...

My friend and I both bought Remington 700 Long Range Rifles chambered in 25-06. We bought them with little expectation that they would like the same ammo, but we both bought the rifle because we liked them and could always customize later off the 700 platform. We measured COAL on both rifles...

I'm looking into buying one but having a hard time finding information from people that have shot them. I've read about some Remington quality issues on newer guns but I've always been happy with mine. Any input would be great. Thanks

What is everyone’s opinion on using H4831 with a low weight bullet like a Barnes 140grain ttsx in 7mm rem mag. I have a good load with 168 grain Bergers but I’m looking for something lighter for whitetail and with the powder availability situation I might have to use what I have available.

Thanks for all the responses. I agree I'd love to do it all in on shot but that's not in the cards. I should've posted how it currently shoots. After extensive load development it is shooting around 1.3 moa. I practice often and shot .5 consistently with my coyote gun. Thanks again

I am working on building a rifle but due to funds I am doing so incrementally. The rifle is a savage 116 with accutrigger no accustock. It is topped with a nikon monarch 5-20x44 bdc scope. My question is, if you were going to change out parts one at a time whT order would you go in?

I am looking to build a long range hunting rig. The plan now is a savage action with shilen heavy sporter barrel. I will add a rifle basix trigger and bed the action. What are your thoughts on this set up and where can I find a stock for the heavy sporter. Also should I go 7mm rem mag or 300...

So, would you say that I could possibly use that 150 grain load data as a starting point and work up slowly as usual? I normally work up slowly from the bottom up watching for pressure signs of course. I am at 72.5 and not totally pleased with the load yet but was nervous to go further without...

Hey guys has anyone ever loaded these bullets in 7mm rem mag with ramshot magnum? If so did it work well for you? I can't find any published data either so curious what ppl used for starting and max? Thanks
