    168 grain 7mm burgers at 2800fps

    I was thinking the same thing. I will try to get another crony to try out. I am new to this rifle and caliber.

    168 grain 7mm burgers at 2800fps

    I am loading up some rounds for a gunwerks 7mm. I am shooting 168 VDLs. I am getting 3280 ON THE CRONY. Is this realistic? It is a new crony BETA model. I am loading 70.7 grains of H 1000 with cci 250 primers per gunwerks advice. The testing they provided said 3010fps with there ammo. I would...

    Muzzle brake on a 300 Win Mag?

    I hear ya but just barely. Lol. I am going to have a pair of ear plugs around my neck while hunting from now on. Unfortunately it took me until 37 to decide to do this. I will shoot without if it is time sensitive but 99%I of the the time I should have time to put in ear plugs. I have also...

    Buying a Gunwerks LR-1000 a good choice?

    Well I took possession of my LR 7mm a couple days ago. I can't find a flaw. It shoots great. I loaded up some 168 bergers pushed by 71 grains of h 1000. I hung my target on a tree and the first shot blew about a 1 1/2" hole in the paper so I can't tell just how tight it grouped but the following...

    Buying a Gunwerks LR-1000 a good choice?

    Ya it is a bummer what things cost here. I know a lot of people that spend over $1000 a month to heat there house. All my work is on the bases and I have to pay my carpenters $54 a hr. Personly I burn firewood and eat game so I can afford high dollar toys for hunting. A small price to pay...

    Buying a Gunwerks LR-1000 a good choice?

    Ya I might. Too many hobby to little time. All my hobbies are hunting related but access is the big challenge here in Alaska. My rifle should be here tomorrow or the next day. I will spend some range time with it then head up the river in a couple weeks and try it out on a caribou or 3. I guess...

    Muzzle brake on a 300 Win Mag?

    I have a break on my 300. I didnt like shooting it without. I dont care for the noise of a break though. I just ordered a 7mm to try to get a happy medium. I will hunt without a break from now on, I think. I dont wear ear protection while hunting. I shoot about 20 shots a year hunting.

    Buying a Gunwerks LR-1000 a good choice?

    I have shot the majority of the 100+ big game animals I have harvested at under 100 yards. I have not ben involved in load data or custom gun building. But I am a hunter. I ordered a rifle from gunwerks because I want to get into long range shooting. I have a gun range on my back deck. I will...

    Best rangefinder??????

    Just got a refurbish leilah 1600 from cameraland. It looks and works like new, carries full lifetime warranty, and was about $500. I have only had it a day but I did get it to range snow covered trees at 1400.

    Spotting Scopes - Straight vs Angled?

    I have a angled and am happy with it. I can get by with a shorter tripod which saves some weight. I can find distant critters quicker with straight though so it is give and take. I don't use it on a window mount but I think I would prefer a straight for that as well.

    caliber choice for 6 year old son?

    Strongly disagree. My son is 9 now and shoots a 308. I started him with a 22 at 3. At 4 years he shot a 410 some. By 5 we had cut down a 243 and he shot it fine to 50 yards. At 6 he took a cariboo with his .270. At 7 he shot a deer on Kodiak with his 308. At 8 He shot a costal black bear with...
