    Suppressor mount thread specs

    I'm building my first form 1 suppressor, and want to go to with 1.375x24 (Hub) threads. I'm finding conflicting info on the major and minor diameters. One source is showing 1.370 major and 1.335 minor, theoretical machinist is showing 1.372 major, but 1.319 minor. The major diameters are close...

    NX8 1-8 for general purpose hunting

    I have a Trijicon Credo 1-8 on my 35 Whelen. Other than weight, I find it the perfect all around gun/scope combo for hunting here in Alaska. With the FFP mil reticle, I have fast elevation correction to my self-imposed 400yd max, but have 1x for brush busting. I love it.

    120gr Barnes Tac-TX for reduced 308 loads.

    Thanks all. I'm going to try both 4198 and 4895. I'll get back with results when I can get to the range. I shoot the 110 vmax in my 300 blk, but I want a little tougher bullet for hunting up here. Eventually we'll move on to black bear and moose, obviously with me backing her up with a...

    120gr Barnes Tac-TX for reduced 308 loads.

    I just got a nice little 308 for my 11 yo daughter. She's eager to start hunting, and we'll start with grouse and 22's here in Alaska. In a year or so I hope to take her Caribou hunting. In the meantime I'm hoping to develop a reduced load for her 308. I noticed that Barnes offers a 120 gr...

    LR primers in place of LRM

    With that size powder charge, you might get incomplete or inconsistent powder burn, leading to velocity swings and inaccuracy. It might be ok depending on what powder you're using, or it might not. I know, that's super helpful...

    35 Whelen Max Effective Range

    Good to hear. Like everyone, I want my cake and to eat it too. I want long range/low velocity expansion, and 48" or straigh-line penetration. That way I can tag black bear in the lungs at 400, but also am not worried about the bullet fragmenting on a brown bear skull plate at 15 yards...

    35 Whelen Max Effective Range

    So far my best load has been 250 partitions going 2650, pushed by reloader 15. I figure 400 is my max range for expansion with that bullet. This is my go-to gun and load here in Alaska. More than enough for hunting situations, and enough oomph I trust it against brown bear. I did take my...

    StaBall Powders Experience

    I've been using it for the last 2 years in my mostly stock 700 30-06. 2800 with a 178 ELD-X. 1.25 MOA. Not bugholes, but plenty good enough for moose...

    Liking the Sig Kilo4K!

    I finally bit the bullet and replaced my 15yr-old Nikon rangefinder. I was looking at one of the Leica 2800 units, but just couldn't find one locally to handle. I looked through the options at one of our big box stores, and they had the Sig Kilo4K sitting there. I had read about Optical Image...

    Shorty Hunting Rifle Chambering?

    Not exactly apples to apples, but as I mentioned in another thread recently, I shot 308win 150 grain Core-lokt through a standard 22" rifle and a 16.5" Ruger compact. Velocity was 220fps behind in the 16.5. I assume 7mm-08 would be similar.

    7mm-08 short barrel recommendations

    Thanks. Yeah, I've looked at that, but I'd have to get an aftermarket stock to get it short enough for her. Still an option though

    7mm-08 short barrel recommendations

    Yeah, I'm looking for a Left hand 7mm-08 for her too. They're like hens teeth unless you want to get a savage axis. Going to find a full size and cut it down to 18" and 12.5" LOP

    7mm-08 short barrel recommendations

    I just shot 150gr core-lokts through a friend's 22" 308 Winchester Mod 70 and a 16.5" Ruger Hawkeye because I am looking at getting a compact 7mm-08 for my daughter and was curious about speed loss. I got 2740fps with the 22" and 2520 in the 16". I assume the 7mm-08 would get similar results...

    Federal Terminal Ascent Bullets - Anyone used em?

    I have load ladders sitting waiting for me in 175gr for 30-06 and 155gr 7x57. I live in Alaska and want to have good penetration in both for moose and black bear. I'm hoping the advertised low speed expansion will help push the 7x57 max range out to 400.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I cast some 400gr .460" bullets for my 458 socom that I'm still trying to get loads developed for. Hopefully these ones went keyhole... also cast a bunch of 200gr hardcast for my 10mm.
