I shoot heavy loads. Mine are 168ABLR on top of 46.8 grn of staball at 2.800 mag box length. I think I can push the out just a little to like 2.83 or 2.85 but I thought I may have jammed on cycling. CCI BR2 primers also and hornady brass. Velocity is 2685fps. I’ve been dabbling with the 150ELDX...

This is just me but I was having trouble with my 1/10 twist 308Win 26inch Howa with lighter bullets. Then for poops and giggles I loaded up some 212ELDX bullets with 41 grains of accurate 4064 at 2.835 COL. They shoot about .8MOA and fly about the same out to 500yrds depending on me. Its slow...

Just seen where Ron Spomer and Backfire TV host showed if shooting mono bullets (all copper) you need to clean to bare metal in the rifle before shooting the mono's if you been shooting copper jacket lead bullets. They had some interesting results with group size. Made me think how bad my 6.5...

Depending on how serious or how much you are willing to spend. This for me would be very tough to answer. I personally have never saved enough to buy a full custom build but I have enough rifles to pay for one. Saying that I like to tinker with hand loads a lot and kind obsess over what my...

Finally got out with the 264. Cleaned it out and then shot 3 and cleaned and shot 3 and cleaned and repeated this for 12 shots while sighing it in. So now it has 12 shots down the pipe. Most of the velocity’s for the 142’s were around the 2920ish and the 135 were about 2935ish for 63grains of...

But this has got me thinking, I now want to put out some milk jugs and see how I do. I generally just shoot paper and rocks with all the intention of practicing for hunting season or tinkering with my loads which is what I do mostly. This was my 500 yard target for my 7mm-08 with factory 150eldx...

So heres my thoughts…if he was a good shooter as he had claimed to be at least that seems to be how he was making him self out to be I think he would of been more prepared. One thing I never seen him do is dope a shot and he did not seem to have a good shooting discipline or just looked super...

Looking back at some notes I had I actually loaded 63 grains of Retumbo. My Berger manual shows 68 grains for a maximum charge weight for the 140VLD’s. So I think I’m still ok with the 63 grains on the 142’s but may be about 3/4 or a little more on the way to a maximum charge weight. I did some...

That not from an AR that what me using the moon as my long range target when I'm out shooting my 6.5CM. I'm I'm like sub MOA all day long.

For all those wondering I will most likely hunt from I think about 5000 to 9000 ft at the top of some of the peaks. I shoot a lot though at 2200 to 3000.

At the time I bought the rifle I also got 2 bags of red/white Winchester brass (new). I figured I would at least be able to control that and not have to look for brass later. I think they are 50 to a bag. Will be annealing also after every firing. Someday I wouldn’t mine trying to take an elk...

Thanks for all the advice. I loaded up some 135 Berger's and some 142 ABLRs with I think 60 grains of Retumbo. I think this was middle of the line for a 140ish bullet. Now to pull out the closet queen and man I don’t know if I ever put a scope on it. If not I have a 4x14x44 or 50 conquest I've...

Here is the gun. 264Win 1/9 twist 26 inch Remington sendero. Brass. Winchester. Bullets. 140 Berger’s, 135 Berger’s, 142ABLR. Powders: Retumbo, Magpro, Ramshot Magnum, IMR7828 and 7828sc. Primer: CCI large rifle magnum or fed gold metal match magnum. I really wanted to use the 142ABLR since...

I have a 308 that shoots the 212eldx pretty nice but I still wanted to try and tighten the up a bit. I went through and length sorted them and I have about 6 to 7 different lengths out of 2 boxes. I have the in I think like 0.002 thousandths difference. So not the most consistent. Never did this...

So I put over 4800 rounds down a 6.5x284 before it fell on its face. I was using mainly hybrid 100v which from what I see on another post is pretty cool burning. Maybe that’s why it lasted so long, but I was only shooting 1/2 MOA and never tried for any better since for me this is good hunting...
