    Chronograph Recommendations?

    +1 on the Oehler 35P. Pricey and somewhat of a pain to setup but very accurate.

    Bullets for 300 Win Mag

    I like Berger bullets for 300 WM. The VLD's are very accurate for punching paper and we have had very good results on elk and Oryx as well. Depending on the rate of twist of your barrel you may be limited to certain weight bullets. Mine in a 1:12 twist which pretty much limits me to 185 gr...

    Need opinion on annealing results

    I would recommend getting some tempilaq since it is difficult to judge by color change alone. I anneal with a Bench Source and set it up with Tempilaq with a sacrificial case. Different brands of brass will vary in color even when the same amount of heat and time is applied.

    Which .308 semiautos are nice to brass?

    I have a DPMS LR-308 with a Lilja 20" inch barrel and with an adjustable gas block. Very easy on brass and puts it in a nice pile.

    NM HB 402 Tabled

    Glad to hear this bill was tabled but beware that comments afterward from the Representative who introduced this bill says he will try again. I wonder where in the world we find these liberal knuckleheads in this state and elect them to office. I emailed my representative on this bill and said...

    What do you do with ibex?

    Heliotaxi: Good luck on the hunt. I live in southern NM and hunted countless times in the Florida's for quail and and other creatures. Haven't been over there in a couple of years since the quail populations have been so poor. Pretty rough country especially where the Ibex are most likely...

    Looking for the best load for 300 win mag

    My 300 WM likes IMR 4350 with Berger 155gr. and 168gr. VLD's. Both have these have shot sub .5 MOA groups and have been very effective on both elk and Oryx. Tried R-22 and just wasn't getting the same accuracy but may be due to the lighter bullets. They are too short to get close to the lands...

    Is accutrigger worth $75?

    Not a fan of Accu Trigger. My Model 12 came with one and started malfunctioning with less than a 100 rounds through it. Started locking up intermittently then wouldn't function at all. Tried everything and finally installed a Rifle Basix Sav-2 and deposited the Accu Trigger in the trash...

    NY

    I tried reading the legislation this afternoon on-line and must say after the first read it is nearly non-comprehensible and will go back and read it a few more times. At first read, it looks like many popular rifles including the venerable 10-22 maybe illegal under the new law. I also had...

    .300 Win Mag, Getting Started.

    IMR 4350 is a good powder to start with for a 300 WM. I shoot both 155 and 168 Berger's in mine and they both perform well with IMR 4350. I would recommend that you get tools to measure headspace so you can properly set up your dies. You will want to adjust your dies so the case head spaces...

    Concentricity Gauges

    The Sinclair gauge does a good job when paired with a quality dial indicator. If you really want to step out there, get an Accuracy One concentricity gauge.

    Brand new Rem 700 Cdl Sf, not grouping

    I purchased a 700 CDL SF in 300 WSM a couple of years ago and had similar issues. The rifle would just not group well despite trying several different powder combinations. Was ready to get rid of it it but decided to give it a another chance. Had Charlie Robertson at Score High pillar bed the...

    Kestrel product discussion thread. Horus Kestrel

    I have been using a Kestrel 4000 unit for about ten years now for hunting, fishing and shooting. The ability to record and download data is very useful but the interface could use upgrading. It would be nice if it would interface with Apple products such as the iPad, iPhone or Macs. I use JBL...

    16" or 20" ?

    I have two LR308 uppers with one being 16" and the other 20". Both barrels are free floated and shoot well. If you plan on shooting greater distances you will be better off with the longer barrel.

    6.5 Creedmoor and Quickload

    Steve4102: Thanks and completely scrolled down in the QL caliber listings and found the 6.5 Creedmoor. Guess I should have looked more closely. The H2O capacity listed is different from my new cases (51.5 v. 53.5). Having a custom rifle built by Score High Gunsmiths and getting my reloading...

    6.5 Creedmoor and Quickload

    I have V 3.6 in Quickload and it does not list the 6.5. Has anyone manually created a cartridge file? I created one today and would just like to compare parameters. I checked against the Hornady manual and the fps are very close to the results calculated in Quickload. I measured the H2O...

    Has Remington lost their touch?

    A couple of years ago I purchased a CDL SF in 300 WSM. Out of the box it wouldn't group as well as I had hoped considering the cost. Was ready to unload it but decided to have a little work done it. Score High in ABQ floated and pillar bedded the action as well as crowning the muzzle. I also...

    Reason's why not to buy a DPMS?

    I have a DPMS Prairie Panther in .223 and two LR 308 uppers. Thousands of rounds through the 223 and hundreds through the 308's. Never had an issue and with either of them and accurate enough. I would recommend replacing the factory trigger with an aftermarket trigger such as the Geissele.
