The coastal gun club is around Brunswick, I'm pretty sure it's atleast a 600 yard range. http://www.coastalgagunclub.com/ Good Luck

I've never seen or heard of those barrels except that article. I do have a Volquartsen .17 HM2 that has a thin barrel with a carbon fiber sleeve. It's probably my most accurate rifle and the barrel temperatures are noticeably lower vs. the same caliber with a standard barrel. I did enjoy that...

I shoot the 150's, but my rifle also likes H4831SC the best, also tried RL 19, IMR7828SSC & IMR 4350. I use F215M primers. 3,000fps should be fairly easy to get. My 150's are at 3k fps. Also I tried the "Jump Test" for seating depths. I tried .010", .050", .090" and .130" (these are all...

Do you have a chronograph? Knowing the velocity will help judge if you're pushing the envelope. I think ultimately the pressure signs will tell whether you're too hot. My 270 loads are above book loads with the amount of powder and fps but I'm able to get 6 loads out of my brass. Whether...

I'm leaning towards the same build. I've read some good reviews of the recoil reducers that are installed in the stock butt. Particularly the Edwards Recoil Reducer. This is a mechanical reducer, some are mercury filled. EDWARDS RECOIL REDUCER : EDWARDS RECOIL REDUCER - World's Largest...

That's a dedicated science experiment!

Thanks for the good info. Some reason I was skeptical that they might just blow up and not penetrate at high velocities. On the .277 vs. 284 now that I read your posts I have noticed similar results. Every deer I've shot with my 270 Win (used Hornady 130's before I reloaded, and Berger's...

Good point on the barrel life. I know both calibers are sufficient for the game hunted. I was mainly questioning the Berger's terminal performance at high velocities. Some members are getting 3,400fps with 130gr in the 270WSM. I know the VLD's perform well impacting < 3,000 fps. I haven't...

I'm trying to decide between these two for a new barrel. I'd like to shoot the 150/140gr Berger(277) or the 168gr Berger(284), based on the results from previous hunts with Bergers. I think both would have great long range terminal performance(have several 500yd+ food plot stands). Often...

jrw: Honestly I don't remember where the bullet entered. Sorry

Seeing Kiwi3006's post again reminded me to post my Berger pics from last season. This was my first harvest since I started shooting the Bergers. They shoot great on paper but this is what I really wanted to see from the bullets. The doe dropped where she was shot. The load was a 150gr .277...

I use the mic similar to others that have posted. I shoot a round with new unfired brass and then use the mic to find the measurement of the chamber. In my case it usually hovers around +.0035" on the mic. What I've found is the best compromise for me is to adjust the full length sizer die to...

Has anybody used these triggers? I searched without much feedback. I'm looking to put one on my 700. I have a KIDD 2 stage trigger on my small game rifle and love the two stage trigger. Looks like a quality product. Any feedback good or bad?

Thanks. I currently have the expander button out of the die. It seems to work well like that. Should I put it back in? Also do you think I would gain any accuracy from using the re-sized Lapua brass compared to 270 Norma or Nosler brass?

Thanks for the input. When I re-size should a use a lot or just a bit of lube? I've read about doing it both ways. I'm using Imperial wax.
