Hi all
I'm mostly a lurker here but have been on this forum for a while.
I recently bought a Tikka T3x Lite in 300WSM then I laid out bunches of $$$ to see which ammo shot better and tried several, but I'm partial to bonded bullets for hunting. I don't compete and I don't shoot more than...
Haven't fielded it or shot it yet with the new stock. Ordered the stock in February 2025 was supposed to have it before hunting season and got screwed so it never saw the field this year. I’ve only ever fielded the rifle in 2022 for an antelope hunt. Original owner of the rifle that commissioned...
Hello I am wondering if anyone has done much testing with the 105GR Norma 6mm Bondstrike? I cannot find anything on Norma's website or app and the people at Norma that could answer me are all at Shot Show but I am in a time crunch to get a load developed for a hunt and need to get started right...

Bought 6 boxes of Norma 308 Norma mag 180 gr Oryx precision ammo from Trade Ex Canada (T.E.C.) and all were from the same lot. I had purchased a Browning Safari grade 1 along with a Sig Sauer BDX scope/rangefinder and had planned on using the combo on a bison hunt this last fall. After putting...
Guys, this will be practically ancient question, but... :-)
My smith gave me few boxes of the old Barnes X 175gr flat base bullets (no bands on it). I like to try it with the Norma MRP-2. I already have sorted the bullets for base-to-ogive length - surprisingly accurate. The next step, I've...
I have noticed over the years that full custom rigs sell better at different times of year. What are yalls thoughts on when the best time of year to sell a high end rifle. Just FYI the rifle in question is a RedRock ELR 300 Norma improved with the big Huskemaw Scope, 3 turrets for different...
