I've had a couple Accubond's blow up at sub 10 yard ranges. One was a 180grain from a 308win. Which was my planned load for a Grizzly hunt, I quickly changed to solid's and haven't looked back. When I'm sheep hunting I have two bear rounds and the rest are for sheep. Bear round is for stopping...

7-08 would be a great choice. If you reload, then the 119g Hammer Hunter is an excellent performing low recoiling round to use. The US rep for Spartan Bipods hunts from a wheel chair, he might be someone to touch base with if you want to go that route.

After going through a number of light rifles. I think how the rifle fits you is more important then just about any other factor. Most of the lighter options are pretty decent these days. But the fit will affect how you consistent you are, how accurate and how well you absob recoil. The most...

The oil is left over from machining. I've seen it discussed before, including comments from Steve (the owner). I believe that was over on the Hammer forum.

ADG sold out of their run of 7saum this summer. The next run is already on the books (allegedly). If you're considering the 7saum, order the brass now and you should have it sometime in '22. Plenty of time to prep for your hunt. I like the 7saum enough over my other rifles that I'd wait for...

What velocity are you seeing with the 225? SS or Max? Barrel length?

Am I reading and understanding that chart correctly that the Army's max allowable pressure in their 300wm for that test is 78,900psi?

I've seen the same thing the one time that I checked a bullet the AB had, most of the time they haven't tested the bullets that I shoot. At the time I recall reading an explanation online that it had something to do with AB's testing protocol. I believe they average the BC all the way down to...

I have both a LP Razor Ti and an AntiX. Both are nitride coated. I prefer the feel of the Razor Ti, it's a small but noticeable improvement in smoothness vs the AntiX. I do seem to show pressure signs slightly earlier then expected, but certainly within the normal variation of 2 different...

Any smiths in Canada?

Is all of the 338Mega brass spoken for? I don't see it listed on your website?

Just looked at the Berger load data for the 250 and the Lapua Magnum, virtually the same speed with 15 grains less powder and 5" less barrel. Impressive to say the least. It would be interesting to see if guys with 26" barrels can find an accuracy node above the Lapua Magnum. That would be...

I've only had experience with Barnes and Hammer, in the monolithic world. These are across a number of cartridges and different weight bullets. I'm hoping in the future Badlands will make it easier to export their bullets to Canada then I'll definitely be trying them. Between Barnes and Hammer...

I'd suggest the 124HH. It is a sweet little bullet. I don't see the benefit of the 151AH in this size of case. I doubt you would be able to push the 151AH fast enough to overcome the higher speeds of the 124HH. In my experience the largest bore size possible with highest stability and speed...

I'd also suggest the move to a Medium Length action. It will really opens up the possibility of running longer bullets. I have light weight mountain rifle short magnums in 6.5 to .338, 2 are XM length and 2 are short action. I don't notice a difference in the handling of either rifle, but...
