For the 7RM pushing the 175 Berger Elite Hunter, H1000. For the two 28 Noslers pushing the 195 Berger Elite Hunter, RL33.

Looks like he still had a lot of mass to put on. Good find for sure.

Glad I never wasted my money on their products.

Not out yet. Gotta be any day.

Soon. Very soon.

Heavy....GO HEAVY! RL33 is the powder for the 28 Nosler and the heavies. 183 SMK, 180 HVLD or Hybrid, 195 Elite Hunter, 197 SMK. In the ridiculous 90* full value (12-19mph) winds this weekend, I still shot these groups with the 197 SMK. 3091fps average 3155fps average

Anyone have a kid who would like some decorations for their room? Free to a good home.

Good price

I like Lapua too. But, as you stated, they have a limited offering. And, for some wildcats, they take a lot more prep to work. My 6.5SLR uses either .260 Rem or .243 Win brass. You run it through the FL die and are 95% done, lengthening the neck and making a 30° shoulder, same as the 6.5x47L, but with a longer body for more case capacity. Rem and Win are the only makers that have the same thickness neck & shoulder, so you don't get a donut at the base of the new neck. Otherwise, you need to turn necks. With the Lapua .30-06 brass available, it is conceivable they could make a .280 Rem case, which could be formed into .270 Win or .280AI very easily. It would take some work to get the .30-06 to .270 Win dimensions, and the neck would probably be short for most of the cases usable life cycle. Body to shoulder are in the same place w. .30-06 & .270, but case length is about .050" shorter on the .30-06.

Pick a headstamp and stick with it. Do not mix brands. Weigh them and record the brass content. I can tell you that Federal always has higher brass content than Rem, Win, Nosler. Hornady is similar but not quite as heavy. Plus, not a huge fan of Hornady brass. I like Nosler for the fact that is is pretty much ready to go, and has great consistency. Usually about 1gr across 100 pieces. But, new brass and factory loaded rounds have shown big differences in weight variation. A Nosler factory loaded round's brass could be as much as 20 grains different than a box of new brass. I have found that the case head area is fairly soft, and if you are running hot loads, expect brass to last about 5-7 reloads before losing primer pockets. Remington and Winchester are pretty long lasting. But you usually need to buy about 20% more than you want to load to cull cases out of weight spec. Plus, you will have to settle for about 3 grains of weight difference vs. 1gr like Nosler, Lapua, Norma, etc. I have some Rem .300RUM brass that has been fired 8-10 times and still going strong, and always run hot. Also, my 6.5SLR uses Rem .243 brass. Some of those cases have been fired 9-10 times and still working great.

So are you just gloating you have six 1lbers sitting around? I would too....oh wait...I have 7 1lbers in my cabinet too.

Bruno's has been going down in powder prices lately. I got H1000 for $24/lb. 2 weeks ago.

Just for the action? Since you did not mention any cartridge choices.

Because he replaced it. I tried to get him to go REALLY expensive....but he stayed at that $3200 mark. Super nice scope. I have fondled...I mean handled it.

Seller is a stand up guy. Buy with confidence.

I can't believe I haven't posted this here. A couple years ago, my brother and I were varmint hunting. We were sitting about 50 yards from a power pole. We heard what sounding like a .22 pop behind us, then a thud. Walked back, and this raven had landed on a power line, and tried to get a dead sparrow that had previously grounded itself out and electrocuted himself. Well, the raven made the same grounded connection. It was super wild to hear it happen right behind us. Blew off both of his legs, burn marks on the feet, sparrow leg still in his beak.

Brown Santa delivered me a present... http://s642.photobucket.com/user/lancetkenyon13/media/6mm%20Build/20180407_185242_zpsu4har6wo.jpg.html'>
