I had your exact issue several years back with an older gun that had sat in a safe for more than a few blue moons. I fixed mine by polishing the chamber with a medium grit polishing compound using a wooden dowel and a small piece of cotton rag. Cut a slice in the end of the dowel and put the...

My .02… Christensen MPR in .338 Lapua is worth every penny. I put 2 of them together one for myself and one for my brother. Topped them both with Vortex Razor HD scopes. Both guns shoot factory Hornady Precision Hunter ammo (230gr and 270gr ELDX) at 1/2 moa and I have made hand loads with the...

It has been mentioned a couple time already but OSHA will have a HeyDay in your shop if you are in business and use PVC (SCH 40 or 80). I don’t care for those pencil pushing jerks but in this case they were right. I had a spray in bed liner business and I piped my shop with schedule 80. 18...

300 Blackout round loaded in your chamber is the most likely cause. The pictures of your upper, the magazine, and chamber are nearly identical to 3 other incidents of 300 Blackout being loaded in a 556 or 223 Wylde chamber that I have personally witnessed as the former range master for a major...

I have the Christensen 338 LM in the MPR Chassis with a Vortex 5-25x50 FFP. I built it last year specifically for elk hunting in NV. It now has 4 elk to its credit from 640 yards to 875 yards. 3 of 4 were one shot kills. Hornady Precision Hunter Ammo with 270gr ELDX will shoot 3/4 moa all day...

I have personally killed a 373” bull elk, several cow elk and a spike bull with the Berger 168’s (2845 FPS) shot out of a 7mm Magnum. I have had many clients use my gun to shoot their elk (both bulls and cows) due to the fact that their experience and confidence with their own weapons fell short...

My apologies and thank you clearing that up. Maybe I should listen to my wife when she tells me to think before I speak out of turn…

Price Trophy Hunts only has an Instagram page to my knowledge. 7L Outfitters (Brad Lloyd), Price Trophy Hunts (Taylor Price) and Vantage Point Outfitting (John Stever) are all reputable outfitters. Their master and sub-guides are all local born and raised guys who eat, sleep and breathe to...

Well in that vein… I can only speak to who I know in NV to be ethical and fair with those hunters who don’t choose/want to hire guides… I despise guides who block roads and ‘save’ animals for their hunters by running the animal off during a stalk by a non-client hunter. These are the best guys...

X2 here. Was developing a load for a friends 7mm REM Mag and had stiff bolt lift from word go. Inspection of fired brass showed signs of problems inside the chamber at the shoulder. Turned out to be leftover contaminates from a barrel cleaning that had hardened over time. Thorough cleaning of...

I am betting the top guides listed are contributors to the E-bike marketing campaign where the link takes you. I have been a lifelong resident of NV spending all of my time hunting, trapping or fishing and I have also been a hunting guide for nearly 20 years… I have never even heard of the top 4...

My humble 2 cents… If you are shooting a Christensen Arms rifle (doesn’t matter what model) that came with a scope base rail already attached, insure that the base is secure. I dealt with the exact issue you described earlier today on my Christensen MPR .338 Lapua. 4 of 6 rounds during my load...

Update: Shot a small female coyote early this morning at 75 yards with the 38 grain Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos bullet. It was a quartering to chest shot. It was a bang/flop kill and she didn’t even twitch. Close inspection of animal revealed only the 22 cal entrance hole with no exits...

Does anyone have any load data for this bullet when used in a 22-250? Only data I can locate from Lehigh Defense is in .223. Also, does anyone have any feedback for this bullet in relation to pelt damage on coyotes, bobcats, or foxes?
