    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    I use 168 Barnes LRX in my 280AI, she is a 1 in 8 twist with a magazine that can take slightly over 3.5" COL, so she can smoke that heavy mono. Browning X-Bolt Speed
  4. 7mm Man

    Odd speed increase?

    Cleaning carbon rings is different. I don't think the standard method of cleaning works. You want to soak the area and go hard on it with a oversize brush since they form outside of the rifling. They can be a pain to remove.

    Odd speed increase?

    I too have seen exssive speed up in a barrel that made me have to back off at least 2 grains, not 4. But there could be so many reasons for the increase.

    3 Person Hot Tent Recommendations

    Does anyone have any recommendations on a reasonably priced three person hot tent. When I say reasonable I mean somewhere in the middle, upper middle pricing. I am not looking to be cheap, but I am not looking to break the bank on one. Thanks.

    Potential new build questions - 7 Saum/300 WSM/6.5 prc

    The 7 WSM I have is not Lapua, regardless I plan on keeping it all for a future build or acquisition. There was a couple of bags of winchester brass on gunbroker a few weeks ago, but they wanted 130 a bag. Good luck looking.

    Potential new build questions - 7 Saum/300 WSM/6.5 prc

    The 7 SAUM is great and many savvy reloaders have them, including me. The 300 WSM has better brass options, but the 7 SAUM is gaining steam. However, as I think with most short mags, you are going to want to run a Defiance XM action, or at least an extended mag box to get at least 2.95" COL...

    6.8 Western Brass

    What sucks is that is feels like there is a real effort to make sure the 6.8W dies. Hornady doesn't want to make anything for it because they know it blows the PRC out of the water. I have gotten just under 3000 fps with 165 ABLR and 2900 with 175 TGK. With what feels like the same amount of...

    7 SAUM Extended COL, Nosler 175 ABLR or Barnes 168 LRX, Retumbo

    I have a SAAMI throat, but so far I have been constricted by the Hawkins precision hunter magazine more than anything. COL being about 2.95" max, otherwise tips will start rubbing and affecting feeding. I milled out some of my action to get them to feed in pretty smoth. I also forgot to...

    7 SAUM Extended COL, Nosler 175 ABLR or Barnes 168 LRX, Retumbo

    Does anyone have experience with handloading for a approx. 2.95" COL with 175 ABLR or 168 LRX? Especially with Retumbo? I have ran the 175 ABLR with H1000, but now that Retumbo is around I want to work that out. Nosler says 63.5 max with 175 and Retumbo but that is with a 2.825" COL. I have...
