    7mm-08 not producing decent groups with Accubonds

    i get what you are saying, but if someone just read this, loaded up a few rounds and blew themselves up, they have no one to blame but themselves.

    308 Win with 130 grain TTSX

    Do it! My wife dumped 2 elk calves at 330yds with hers. It’s a great bullet for that cartridge.

    New reloaded resizing questions

    I use a .310 on my 7mm PRC brass, should be the same for 7 RM. A loaded round was .314 across the neck, I tried a .312 bushing and didn’t get enough tension to hold Barnes bullets. Put the .310 in and got great results.

    My 7PRC Load Dev Journey

    24" IBI Carbon Hunter I had issues with the rifle yesterday, front action screw came loose and groups were very odd. 1st shot bullseye, 2nd shot 4" high, 3rd shot bullseye. Ended up shooting all the loads for velocity measurements and will revisit next week.

    Can I ruin your day?

    Similar story here. Dad called me on a Sunday saying my grandfather wasn’t doing very well but he figured I’d have a few days to come home on Wednesday since it was easier to get home from work that day. Had an hour long flight, when I landed at my home airport I got a Tex saying he had passed...

    Help Understanding Energy, Distance, and Angled Shots

    You shoot for the horizontal distance, not the total distance. The 410yds would be correct

    Hunting Bad Wind

    Just hunt it. Dump some piss on the ground and it might buy you some time should they smell something.

    22 ARC

    I think this is more geared towards the gas gun folks. As they state, 22-250 performance out of an AR-15 platform. Also designed to shoot the new ELD-VT bullet.

    My 7PRC Load Dev Journey

    I used H4831sc in mine cause it’s readily available up here and I bought 16lbs of it. I posted some pics of my groups in another thread on here. I was very unimpressed with the 160gr CX, it was over MOA all through the ladder test I did. The 168gr LRX was much better, averaging 3/4 MOA and I...

    How thick are your venison steaks?

    I only eat the back straps and tenderloins as steaks. I cut the back straps into 3.5” steaks. I find them too small and don’t like cutting medallions. I like a nice 6-8oz chunk of meat.

    How long before 7PRC ammo is readily available?

    They make 300 and 6.5 PRC ammo, so I’m sure they will throw the 168gr LRX in the 7 at some point.

    What are you using in your tumbler for high polish brass?

    what’s so bad about case mouth peening? I trim, chamfer and deburr before loading every time. Even if I just chamfered and deburred, peening shouldn’t be an issue

    ELD-M, ELD-X, TMK, Berger: Which reliably exits?

    I shoot Barnes for a few reasons. My hunting style is anywhere from 50-250yd stand hunting for whitetails, to 600yd open prairie shots on elk and mulies. I want a bullet that can hit bone and still exit. The perfect broadside shot isn’t always available and sometimes I need to go through a...

    ELD-M, ELD-X, TMK, Berger: Which reliably exits?

    If you want best of best worlds, a partition would be the choice. Or a bonded bullet like the Accubond, ABLR, Terminal Ascent etc

    Muzzle brake or not?

    i do my load development on my 7 PRC with a brake. Its the only way I can stay consistent on the bench shooting 25 rounds. I take the brake off and re-confirm groups and zero and go hunting. my rifle is 8.5lbs with a loaded mag.

    What are you using in your tumbler for high polish brass?

    i also have hard water, but dont mind the spots because after i lube and re-size, i wipe the cases with alcohol to get the lube off, any water spots disappear as well.
