    Thompson Center 460 barrel

    I got one of the pro hunters a while back used but great shape in a 270. Shoots moa or better and added a 300 win mag barrel for it. Action and barrels are ss. Had the action reworked at EABCO and it does even better. Had some decent shipping deals today an I ordered a 460 barrel to the list. I...

    Great mistake at the bench

    For many years reloading I put one canister of powder next to dispenser. Electronic or else. Was loading 300 win mag an switched over to 270 and didn’t see the older 1 lb of H1000 behind my Hornady powder charger. Used H4831 Sc for the 270 and got the two powders mixed up. Two new containers...

    Model 70 weather extreme help

    I’m a huge Tikka and Sako fan but I’ve been eyeballing the Winchester WE in 300 WSM at my local gun shop. I’ve got a 338 Remington Ultra Mag in a Sendero. Way too heavy for totin around gun. Got my 300 Win mag barrel for my TC encore but hate taking the 270 barrel on and off. I had the 300 WSM...

    6.5 Creedmoor Issues

    I’ve been mainly loading 6.5 bullets for a Tikka 260 CTR. I picked up a Tikka 6.5 cm for the wife to use when not using her 7-08. Both guns have been easy to load for. Throw between 41 and 43 grains of H4350 behind any 140 grain bullet and they shoot pretty much sub moa all day long. I was able...

    New throw in the truck gun

    Been wanting a bolt 223 for a long time. Got a few ARs but thought the lighter rifle would be ideal for the coyotes and other critters. Bought a Tikka T3 lite 1-8 twist and put on a dnz mount and the 3-9 scope Burris just sent back from warranty. Only issue so far is my AR would hold 75 grain...

    Tikka CTR 260

    I owned one of these last year and it was a real shooter. Was occasionally banging steel out to 1200 yards but mostly at the 700-100 yard range. I got on the 6.5 CM kick and traded it off for a 24 inch Tikka CTR. It’s held it’s own but I’m still really partial to the 260. The 260 I traded came...

    Ruger 10-22 barrel band

    I just bought one of these and installed the Ruger trigger to get it down to around 2.6 lbs. It is shooting great sub moa groups at 50 yards and with a 4x12x40 Nikon on it I can pretty much dial up or use spot on with CCI mini mags out to a 150 yard quarter sized target if the wind isn't...

    Strike Eagle 3x18x44

    Been eyeballing this online for a month now. Found local store with one several in stock at $371.00. Put it in a medium DNZ mount on my Tikka T3x lite today. Bought some Winchester factory ammo for the brass. Decided to go zero it in and get the brass to load up some eldx for more testing...

    Burris Veracity 3x15x50 or Vortex HST

    Decent price on the Veracity now at a few places. Hate I can’t get hands on to look through one. This one is Moa Fullfield E1 reticle. FFP. I had issues with the Athlon since I couldn’t see the reticle until 10-12 power. I want for hunting 50-400 yards across power lines. I don’t want one...

    Nikon Prostaff 5 nikoplex

    i saw one of these in store for under 200. How accurate and audible are the turrets. Scope is 2.5x10x40. I want it for a Marlin model 60 22 to zero at 50 and track out to 150. Don’t want cluttered up bdc reticle. Also does the 5 come with offer for a custom turret. I’ve got the BC and know the...

    Hoping I got a decent scope

    Been looking at the Athlon Argos for a few months now. Ordered the moa 6.5x24x50 from Amazon after reading about 3000 reviews. Exaggerated I’m sure but a lot. Would only buy from Amazon due to 30 day return policy. I’ve got some higher end Nightforce and Leupold along with some mid range Burris...

    Time to see what Burris warranty does

    ive got 2 Fullfieldii scopes in 3x9. On is on a Tikka 7 mm mag. Coating looks a more reddish color than my second newer one. Both have the ballistic Plex reticle. I mounted newer one on a Tikka 6.5 t3 light. Noticed reticle really hard to get eyepiece to stay in focus. Done ok at the range but...

    Leupold vx3 6 tx20 by 50 or 5.5x20x56 Nightforce SHV

    My lgs has the 30 mm Leupold for $890 out the door. The SHV is $1199 out the door. I've got an SHV in 4.5 x14x56 and it's a nice scope and I really like the reticle. The Leupold is great glass too and has a duplex reticle. I'm wanting to put one of the 2 on my Tikka Xtr 6.5 creedmoor bench...

    New upper for Smith M&P Sport

    Dont want to swap barrels but wondering if a new upper in 458 Socom or 450 Bushmaster will work on this rifle. Does full upper come with new bolt which from reading it appears it does.

    Reloading 223 on a Lee Turret

    In handgun this press is great. Works good for 223 with exception of brass prep. Have yet to figure out how anyone does it. Brass has to be resized with lube. AR bullet. Primer pockets cleaned and trimmed and de burred and chamfered. Leaves only a powder drop seat and crimp. Was close to being...

    Weird range day with powders

    i hadn't loaded for my 44 rifle until this week. I used some 240 grain xtp to start with. Carbine rifle. I started low and went to high using H110 with the bullet. Found out best groups were within a few tenths of max load. I had also loaded up some plinking rounds with barely more than minimum...

    Henry Big boy classic and Ruger only loads

    Cant get Henry to answer this as they always say no reloads suggested. I'm shooting a 45 colt in a Big Boy Classic with brass frame and octagon barrel. Does anyone know if this will handle Ruger only hand loads.
