    Is it time for to me to give up on my wildcat?

    Please don’t give up on this cartridge! I have a straight 30-284 and love it… I run it in a 28” tube and it does amazing things! RL26 and the 200.20x is also a beautiful combo… I’m getting 2880 fps out of it… At my altitude I shoot at it is staying supersonic to 1850 yards! I’ve also used the...

    Fatboy tripod

    I have a 2 section elevate and a 3 section RRA with the anvil 30… I don’t have experience with the 2 vets… Both tripods for me are game changers when it comes to shooting from elevated positions… The last Sporting rifle match in Raton I attended last month the shooters in my squad preferred the...

    For those who have done it...

    Now that I’m older (50) I’ll share my two cents… I have played with savages, Ruger americans and done Remages… I’ve done the “I need to save money” builds and am around a community of shooters that are always trying to spend as little as possible… Chasing ballistics and accuracy I relate to...

    Custom .22-250?

    I just want to throw this out there… I had a savage 112 I bought back in 1995 chambered in 22-250… Wanted to get with the times so I had that same barrel punched out to 22 creedmoor… I only have a 1-12 twist but I fireformed all my 22-250 brass to 22 creed… And it was plenty accurate (3/4...

    How much throat erosion is “normal”

    I read an article 20+ years ago of a gentlemen with a 22-250 used for prairie dog shooting… He could not see the rifling halfway down the barrel… It was still minute of prairie dog so he kept shooting it… I have a 6 creed with a pac-nor 7.5 twist barrel (stiller tac 30) that I had set back at 1...

    How much throat erosion is “normal”

    YouTube Eric Cortina about “stop chasing the lands” and many other subjects… He has his podcast also and interviews many top shooters. I too have been afraid to get a borescope… Reloading and shooting is like Alice in Wonderland… How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go… My humble opinion...

    30-284 loads and components questions

    … I run my 28” barrel with a 200.20x bullet on top of 59 grains of H1000… Gives me velocity of 2718… Also have a load with 208 Bergers on top of 56 grains of RL26 with a velocity of 2700… The h1000 load is slightly compressed… Nothing fancy velocity wise but exceptionally accurate and I only...

    RL26 in the 6 Creedmoor ?????

    I have two different 6 creedmoors (Stiller Tac30 and a Ruger American rebarreled without the nut) with Pacnor 1-7.5 twist that I started using RL26 with... I shoot both the 115 Berger and DTACs through them... I shouldn’t be posting this lol but this seems to be the perfect powder for me in the...
