I know every production rig has it's own lead, but I've loaded for dozens of different Rem 700's, oldies and new. Of all of them, I don't think I've come across one that wouldn't let me get as close to the lands as desired, and still obtain magazine fit, and feed function. Even with short, light...

No, I wasn't referring to setting up a blind and just waiting for a chance encounter with birds. I put them to bed the night before, so I already know precisely where they're roosted. I'm just pondering whether or not to risk alerting them with the sound associated with getting the blind set up...

59 grs. under a 210 gr. vld, that's pretty warm. And 2700 fps, that's gonna deliver some serious energy at long distance, and be very predictable. MB

As Lefty7mmstw said, it does depend on the rifle, every barrel has it's own ballistic personality, and more so with a standard production rig. Where as a good builder can just about nail your preference, from an accurate barrel burner, to a 1000 yd. competition rig. Sorry for drifting off topic...

If you are likely to be presented with a shot ranging beyond 400 yds, I would recommend lots of slow burning powder, under a well constructed 165 gr bullet. Getting a 700 action to accurately push a 165 gr. pill 3000 fps shouldn't be a difficult task. I used a 700 ADL, bedded the action, floated...

Years back before I had added the 7mm RM and a couple other flatter shooting rigs to my collection, I did in fact hunt elk with the 30-06, and it performed quite well on a decent bull at a pretty good distance of just over 550 yds.. I made it happen with a 165 gr. Speer Hot Core, but the...

I've known Pete since the early 80's, and in my opinion he has some of the best R&D in the industry. Even in today's archery world, PSE still remains an icon and leader in the market. And despite the fact that most other manufacturer's have technologically evolved, I highly doubt PSE will likely...

It's not a real good idea to reload for someone else, liability can come back to bite you in the butt. And even if it wasn't something you did wrong, trying to prove it in a civil court could be very difficult and expensive. Aside from that, the load you develop should be structured around...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. We took it to a good bow shop to see if the draw length could be adjusted any longer without having to swap out the cams, but it's already maxed out. The one thing I'm hoping is for PSE to fix him up right. One of my boys who is an avid bow hunter, bought a...

Ya, he is a big tall man with a long reach indeed. And the fact that a properly fitted bow,would have likely required a custom build, he would have certainly gone that route, he wanted to do this right, and is serious about archery, he was relying on some informed help. If the , shop that...

A family member that isn't very knowledgeable about archery, went out and spent a $1k on a PSE set up, all the latest and greatest set up. The only problem is, I think they saw a sucker coming, cause they sold him a bow that only has a draw length of 29", and he has almost a 34" draw length...

Two of my Son's have out fitted their Wive's with Diamonds. I've shot them and really like them. Very adaptable and easy to adjust. The onyl thing I didn't care for is the grips, really noisy, but that's easy to remedy. I started my boy's, all (5) of them with God and hunting in their lives...

Well, this is a first archery turkey for me. I'm an accomplished turkey hunter, and killed dozens of turkey over the years with a shotgun, but never taken one with a bow. My oldest Son, who is 29 yrs. old, will be joining me and will be calling for me, and I'll be calling for him, and we'll be...

I haven't had any issues with it ranging a full 1K yds., just this recent failure is it. Do you free hand it when ranging long distances, or do you put it on a tripod for long range use? It makes a big difference with any RF I've ever used. I talked with someone today that sent one in...

I reload for multiple .243 actions, multiple .270 win, multiple 7mm RM's and so on. Each action/barrel has it's best load, which differs from one to the other. So what shoots well from anyone of my actions, may not, and probably won't do so from your's. You need to gather some reliable published...
