Hi has anyone got experience of hunting over 300 yards with the Grendel? If so is it much good at that range? I am thinking of getting one as its a neat efficient and supposedly accurate cartridge, but I am concerned its too much gun for foxes, rabbits etc, but maybe not enough for say goats at...

So what is a good chassis?

Was hoping for some more replies on the chassis. I guess the oryx and bravo are pretty new.

Yere I may well just go for the 6br as it gives up little to the 6ppc. Though I have been doing some research on neck turning and it doesn't seem as bad as I thought. I like the size of the ppc grendel and 7.62x39 real efficient cartridges, though to an extent so are the brs vs the 308 family.

Hi guys I have a Howa 1500 and am looking to give it a new home. I am looking at the MDT LSS and Oryx as wellas the KRG Bravo. The Krg looks the best in my opinion. Which chassis is the best value for money and what are the pros and cons of each?

Could you please elaborate on what other problems they had?

I have access to a good supply of Sako 6mm ppc brass. So that is what I plan to use. So probably a .273 neck then. Intended purpose is 200 yard club level only bench rest shooting as well as some varmint hunting. So not a dedicated bench gun, but an efficient cartridge with the potential to...

Hi guys I am looking to do a 6mm ppc with no neck turn, would a .270 neck be right? Also I have seen some reasonably priced dies from RCBS and Redding https://www.midwayusa.com/product/368528/rcbs-2-die-set I have contacted them twice and received no reply as to what size their die is...

Hi guys I have been looking for a stock for my Howa 1500. I can find plenty for short actions in both sporter and varmint. And some for long action in sporter but as good as nothing for a LA varmint. If anyone knows of any after market sturdy stocks that fit a Howe LA with a varmint barrel...

Went to the range today rifle did pretty well nothing fantastic but I wasn't shooting for groups, I was pushing velocity with only a single shot per load it was grouping ok. Plus I was only shooting with peep sights on my 99. I am going to put a Leopold 3-9x40 on it to see what it can really...

The 223wssm is the same capacity as the 22-243. Hodgdon list for the 223wssm 4895 31-34.5 Varget 33-36 4350 37-40 4831 40.5-43.5

My copy says 65000 too. It was a 308 so I ammended it to 62000 to match the 308. I don't know what the strength of a Savage 99 is versus say a Remington 700, but I figured if it was built for a 308 then if I keep loads below 60000 it should be okay. As I don't want to load too light with...

I haven't shot any 4350 loads yet. I measured the water capacity and its not 50grs as listed but 54grs. I loaded up a case with 37 grains of 4350 and with the bullet in, it sounded like a maraca, I pulled that bullet and loaded no more. 4350 is too slow of a power to load down. I am going to...

I think I will use 220 Swift as a start point the case is 47gr vs 50 so those loads should be close.

Might be flawed logic but I am thinking I might be able to find load data this way. 77grain / 224 x 243 = 83 so round up to 85-90 grain look at 243 data and use minimum loads for the 243 e.g. H4350 37 grains and go from there or use 22-250 data and slowly work up.
