Sorry guys I had thought this thread had died off so I hadn't checked it for a while. Thank you for all the replies it sounds there is a bunch of us out there with the same issues! Sounds like if I just get a beaver tail stock or a "left handed" stock built for a right handed bolt all will be...

Thanks for the reply. I didn't think it would make much of a difference because I have shot friends rifles and still hit zero. The only problems I could think of was possibly canting the rifle when switching shoulders but my bubble level should be a quick fix to that.. Im guessing mcmillan...

I've grown up shooting right handed guns left handed. With my last gun I built I shot from the bench right handed, I shot great groups but ran into a problem this fall during hunting, I had a hard time finding the game in my scope naturally and ended up not being able to get on one buck quick...

AZ, Are you referring to the normal target vld's that have always been around or the target hybrid? To my understanding the hybrid does great. But the old school original target vld can be hit or miss on big game??. From the way ive interpreted it is the target vld and the matchking have the...

Sorry man. It was last week they are long gone >.<

My plan (if they fly the same) was to use the target bullets for zeroing the scope and checking my turrets match up with my ballistic calculator down range, then keep my 37 hunting bullets for this fall.. If it comes down to it I supposed I could use the target loads for hunting and just hold...

Thanks Jeff. I was wondering if they would be very similar seeing as the BC weight and overall body shape is the same. The only difference is the material or thickness in the jacket correct?

Fall is getting closer and I only have 37 hunting bergers left. I've been looking everywhere and cannot find my bullets for the life of me.... I shoot the .308 210gr hunting vld. I just found a few boxes of the 210gr match target vld. Would it be worth my while to grab them for planking and...

Sorry my numbers were off my old load with the 185's was only 3000 fps not 3200 >.< I guess that what I get for not looking at my books while playing with the calculator haha.. @3000fps its only 1079ft-lbs at 1000yards

I was playing with my ballistic calculator today and I typed in my old load with 185g bergers at 3200fps vs my current 210g at 2700fps.. I've always believed bigger is better I maybe crazy but my calculator shows the 185 being better out to 1000 for my gun. I shoot a 300wsm The 185 show...

forgot to say, these groups were shot at 150y. the range i shot at doesnt have any target posts at 100y

well i made it up to the range yesterday. i got up there and realized i had forgotten my target >.< luckily there was one that wasnt too shot up. the 2.950 is about a .012 jump off the lands. should i work up off the 2.925 or the 2.950? BTW i didnt feel it was my best day shooting but still...

Thanks guys! I'll look into the link provided and the sticky and see what I come up with! As for seating the bullets, i was thinking to seat the first group as far out as the mazatine will allow then work them in at .50 inch for each group (giving me 3 groups for starters) then take the most...

Hey fellas its been a while since ive been online and even longer since I've had the powder to do anything with the gun. I shoot a 300wsm. 210bergers with 59.5gr of h4350. With the bullets seated to fit the magazine not the lands. I recently got an extended magazine box put in and want to...

I understand for safety about backing off... but where powder is impossible to find and also bullets, it maybe easier to just wait for the primers I have always used rather than working up the ladder test lol. A year ago I never would have second guesses going out and trying to perfect the load...
