Thank you for your offer! I’m not sure anyone I know is coming or going that way? I’ll keep you in mind, if all else fails!

It is a 6.5x284 Norma, but I only run Lapua brass. I get better consistency with it.

I live in Casa Grande

Hello everyone, I need your help! I live in Arizona and like everyone else in America I’m looking for Federal large rifle primers to buy. I’m looking for at least one box maybe two if someone would be willing to part with some. Im not greedy I just need enough to get some shooting practice in...

Perfect! I will start with that, thank you all for your help!

Perfect! I will start with that, thank you all for your help! One more question. I am going to reload some 9 mm ammo. My question is if the recipe calls for Remington 1 1/2 primers and there are none available locally to purchase can I switch to a different brand without any complications?

Ok perfect, that’s what I was looking for. Also I shoot the Berger 140 VLD right now but I would like to try the Berger 140 Hunter eilete, would it be safe to try and use the same combination of Lapua brass, primer, powder charge (54.9 grn H1000)and seating depth with this bullet or should I...

From a safety standpoint, could I loade say five rounds in the nosler brass and then go shoot them or should I start with a lower charge and work my way up?

Good morning Greyfox! I have a question it may be dumb question but... I have mostly Lapua brass but some Nosler. Can I run the same primer, powder, and bullet charge in the nosler as I do the Lapua?

Wow you guys have had great success with your combinations! I think I will try both of those powders and see what happens as well?

Holy crap! Nice! The elite hunters are a little longer than the VLD so seating depth is gonna have to be changed... I assume? I also tried the 4831 but it didn’t shoot as well for me. I would like to try the retumbo though, I don’t know anything about it so is it temp sensitive?

How many grns of powder do you usually run and what brass, primer? I’m running Lapua brass and Fedral primers. I want to try the Berger elite hunters, have you used them?

Good morning! In Casa Grande, AZ where I am our elevation is at 1450 ft 50F and I am using 140 Berger VLD. So we’re pretty much at the same on a lot of variables. I am very happy with this rifle, it probably is more accurate than I ever will be. Haha! I’v read a lot of your post and I see you...

Well I have a 26” Gary Schneider barrel and ran ten rounds through a chrono and got (if I can remember correctly) 3020 to 2975 FPS but I don’t trust chronos... But what I do know For sure is being zeroed at 100, at 700 yds my bullet drop is right at 96 inches... I’ve shot three three shot...
