Please forgive for being somewhat off topic, but there has been mention of the 6.5-06AI on this thread. I have a custom rifle with a 26in Pac-Nor 1 in 8 twist barrel in 6.5-06. How much powder capacity does the AI configuration add and how much more performance? Is the 6.5-06 AI really equal to...

This is shooterRon......just want to say thanks to all who responded!! I was happy to see few if any negatives. I just finished the installation of the Wyatts extended box, and after a little tuning it feeds great and I can't wait to load for that extra OACL. Again--thank you all for your input...

Hi All! I have been considering installing a Wyatts' center feed magazine box in my Rem. 700 in 300 WSM. While it will only gain me about .140 inch over the guns' S.A.A.M.I standard of 2.860 OACL for this cartridge, it appears ANY gains in OACL would be helpful--particularly with 180 grain and...

I contacted Alliant powders about this very question about a week ago.... where is the RL26? Their email first reminded me that RL26 is made in Sweden, I believe, and then went on to say that the demand has outstripped their production capabilities and deliveries are made on a "first come-first...

She is from my wifes' previous marriage--I didn't get the chance to start earlier!

I would also like to say that the ignorance spread about firearms is actually dangerous. My daughter is adamantly anti gun and will not let my grandkids have anything to do with anything about guns. I have talked to her about at least letting them learn gun safety because there is no guarantee...

Thank you! For others, please forgive. Some of us old farts are not as computer literate as the younger folks.

Please forgive me for being off-topic, but I have to ask a question. My wife and I are both born and raised Washingtonians and as many know, the entire state falls under the the governance of the democrats who basically are primarily rooted in 4 counties along Puget Sound. When it comes to...

This is the point we've gotten to these days. While the internet has been a great tool for finding just about anything you can imagine, it has also become a platform where some idiot can post something false and, unfortunately it will be accepted as fact by many who are as uninformed or even...

keithcandler, sounds interesting! I'm always up to try something new. Thanks!

My wife loves to shoot at the range, both rifle and handgun, but we are both in our 60s' and she has had both knees replaced so she doesn't hunt. I on the other hand have been very fortunate in that my knees are great so I still hunt. We both fish also. She does have her own hobbies ( she...

Just a thought...I know it is "old school", but I have a 6.5-06, custom build on a Mauser 98 action and 26 inch Pac Nor barrel, 1 in 8 twist that will push a 140 gr. bullet to nearly 3000 fps. However, it shoots tighter groups at around 2920 fps. I make my brass from 270 WIN brass--one pass...

This is my first post although I have been keeping up with LRH for a while. I would like to add my 2 cents on the issues of bullet lethality on game. I believe that if an animal (deer or elk) is aware of your presence and gets amped up---getting a big surge of adrenalin-- it will take more to...
