I had graet luch with the 120 seirras out of a 1-9 kreiger same cartrige 25-06 the primers were fed GM and 4831 i am guessing that the 120`s need about 8.5 Just for giggles try some 100 grain match kings Rember both of the other bullets are on the heavy side 160`s in 7mm just a guess the twist...

What i was orginaly trying to get at was that a lot of times when you find a load out of a good gun that shoots great out to 300 -400 yards you will usely find that the bullet is marginal for the twist.Now if its a gun that has some throat erosion this will compond the problem one of the guys...

i have one and will not own a second

I am going to back off of this one as my referances are tottaly difrent than the others I am hearing here

the bullet will lose the amount of rotation that is need to keep it stable.This is why you have difrent twist rates for difrent leanght bullets I have shot the 107 seirras out of a 243 witha twist of 1-11 at 100 yards they were tack drivers but at 200 they were all over the place this is a...

Stray what kinda rig is this cartrige and rifle if you know the twist rate and what bullets are you useing JBM I would realy love to hear you make these arguments to some of my shooting buddies one who I belive to be the best barrel maker in the world bar none.Second if twist rate is not a...

I would sugest the savages the are a gun you can keep for a long time and expect no problems. I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST THE REM 710 I HAVE SEEN THEM ALOT IN MY OLD SHOP BEST DESCRIPTION J-(%K TO MUCH DEPENDING ON PLASTIC

I should elaberate on my trigger it is the 2oz to 2 pounds something like that it is a real pain to set and slam fires when it is set lite are a real problem.Seems to have alot of slop in it side to side and dose not seem to repeat the same pull any two time in a row. Now for one of my other...

Duke please dont get me wrong a 30-06 at 700 will have enough energy to kill deer size game. This is my reason for the bigger cartriges the bigger faster bullets will have a little better wind fighting ablity than the 30`s combined with a little flater flight path. Also the over kill they would...

sly i would suggest that you work with some one who is in the specialty that you want to work in. If it is rifles find some one in rifles dont be affraid to work cheap at first the education you get with them will be far more precious than a couple of bucks an hour.I had the chance working with...

well got out my custom cartrige books by Ken Howell the 338-416 is 2.7100 in leanght and a case volume of 148 grains of water the 338 Lapua Mag is 2.7244 in leanght and a case volume of 158 grains of water

well as one other posted i worked as a gun smith for gander mountin the biggest thing I can offer up is listen to what the customer is telling you they want.Dont try to sell them something you want or think is better I was real amazed at how much reaserch some of our customers had done.But dont...

This is usely due to the bullet shape and design it is how the bullet will react with the loss of rotation example a rifle with marginal twist rate will not be as stable at longer ranges. I have loads that wont shoot worth a spit a 100 yards 1.5 MOA but group size at 200 may only be 2 inches...

Bullets maybe lite for what you want but think about a 25-06 some of the 120`s are real impresive on the computer

OH boy I am going to get drageed threw the mud on this one.I shoot long range 600-1000 yards atleast once a month for two days usely about 200 rounds I know how wind affects bullets how heat mirage and other factors play on shooting.All my guns are customs I built and all will shoot sub .5 MOA...
