Hello All, I have been trying to get a .28 Nosler shooting (it has a 28" 1-8 twist barrel) and while testing at 300m i seem to have lost a couple of shots... no holes in the target. I set up a target at 60m and started with a clean barrel shot some rounds at it. The speeds chronographed were...

Yeah im happy with it. I only fired one group and was a bit sceptical driving out to the target but was please to see there was a group. Had .8 mil on for wind but could have done with .7 mil instead. Sam

Hello All, I am looking to build a new hunting rifle on a Howa long action. Can anyone tell me the weight of a Howa long action complete with barrel removed please? regards Sam.

re Bulletbumper & jfseaman, I have several semi custom rifles so far 6mm XC, 6.5x47L, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 Wm, 7mm STW all of which i neck skim the brass for. This time I may as well go all the way and from wha i understand a thinner neck is a little more forgiving when it comes to neck tension...
