I have a .280AI browing stalker long range hunter. It has a detachable mag so I can only seat my bullets so far out. I've yet to handload for it. I've shot some 150 nosler AB with really poor accuracy. Almost a 3 inch group. I hope that's due to the twist rate and the 150s being a little light...

So I just joined the .280AI family with my purchase of a factory. 280AI in the browning Xbolt stalker long range. The gun has a 1:8 twist in a 26" barrel. This gun will be used primarily for target shooting at range but I have not ruled out hunting with it at this time. For those of you that...

I have a steyr pro hunter in .280 that I would like to do an AI job on but I need some more information after doing some research. I know they have at least two different specs. It's my understanding that if I go with the old chambering then I can't use the factory SAAMI spec brass (due to...

My mom's husband just passed away and he left me all of his guns. He was friends with a man named Don mihaljevick. Don was good friends with the late Elmer Keith. All 3 of them did a lot of shooting and testing and modifications to guns going all the way back to the 1960s in salmon idaho. This...

I have been told that .308 brass can be resized and used for the .260 but according to my book (hornady 9th edition) the .308 brass is considerably shorter than the .260. Now that being said my once fired .260 brass is still shorter than the books case trim length. So how does this work when...

To start off with i have a .260 Tikka ctr (1:8 twist) i use this for long range shooting/ hunting Midwest Whitetail primarily. I currently use a 140 vld for this rifle. I also have a 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser. (1:8.66 twist) this gun is used for hunting Midwest whitetail primarily. I will be using...

I want to start this by first letting you know that I grew up in Idaho I have guided in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska where I now live. I'm looking into a free range nilgai hunt in Texas in the upcoming months. I was told by my friend who is the guide that he would like me using nothing...

I've never used .308 brass for my .260 but I have no .260 brass and a ton of .308 brass. My book says 308 max case length is 2.015 and for the .260 its 2.035. So my question is this. Is it possible to use .308 brass for my .260? Or would I be better off selling my .308 brass and buying .260 brass?

What do you think the best .357 mag for under $500 is and why? (Note) please keep in mind opinions may very because we have different needs and uses hints the (why) part. Let the discussions begin!

I have a 6.5x55 swd that was sporterized back in the 60s by Elmer Keith's gunsmith. (Not a bubba job). I use this rifle deer hunting in open country. Question 1 I have been doing some load development with 42.2 - 43. Of H4831 with 140gr VLD. I'm getting blow back. My manual says to be cautious...

So I have a customer that owes me $300 for some work I've done to his long range gun. He can't pay but wants to trade me a k31 swiss rifle. Someone has put a shorter stock on it and it shoots the 308 round. If I take the deal I'd probably take it down and sport it out. Now before you get mad...

Can anyone tell me or share a link that shows what calibers are available for specific make and models? I know some pages like Remington list them but others like tikka do not. It would be nice to have a website available so if a guy was interested in purchasing a gun he could browse not only...

So I'm I the market for a gun to hunt deer for what I call long range (700 yards) I'm pretty sold on the tikka ctr .260 I have a line on one and I'm sure that's what I want. That being said I've heard mixed opinions and I'm sure I will get some more of those here lol. Is the .260 a finicky...

So I'm looking into buying a .260 and I have decided to go with either the rem. VTR or the rem. Magpul. This gun will be used for hunting ( 700 yards and under) lots of hiking so light is good. I'm not very familiar with the vtr model. Is that triangle barrel as good as Remington says? Thanks...

My favorite thing about reloading is that I get to do it my way. I learn a lot from these threads in the high road and add a lot of those things into how I reload. So with that being said I want to know what your method of getting a load developed is. I load up 4 loads the first is 2 gr. Above...

I'm reloading for my sporterized 6.5x55 sweetish Mauser. The pill is the Berger VLD 140 gr. This is where it gets complicated... I have a lot of H4895 and I want to see how it throws this pill. My Berger book doesn't list H4895 but does list IMR4895 and start load is 35.0 Max load is 37.2 but...

So I was recently given a Marlin 30-30 that is a 336cs best I have found was that it was made in 1983 but I can't find anything out about the (cs) part. what does it mean and what is the rarity? While I was looking into all of this my moms husband asked about his model 39as. I can find all...

I have a 6.5x55 1896 sporterized Mauser. I'm doing some load development and I'd like to try this combo but Berger and my hornady book list nothing for this powder. So my question is why do they not list it? And what is the min/Max loads for the 140 vld the powder is H4895

I'm looking for a scope for a 308 handy rifle. I'm thinking I need something that will hold up to a 308 AR. The traditional scopes won't hold zero and I believe it's due to the jolt of opening and closing of the break open barrel. This will not need to shoot over 300 yards so I don't need...

So this is my new DPMS LR 308 GEN 2. I'm wanting to be fairly accurate out to 750 yards. This is also my first semi auto gun. What kind of add on's can you recommend? I'm very fond of primary arms 4-14x44 scopes but I know some scopes won't work on semi autos so I need to look into that. I'm...
