    Silencer Co Harvester with 300wm

    Has anyone put a significant number of 300wm rounds through a Harvester Evo? It is rated for 300wm with a 20” barrel I have 22” barrel pushing a a near max charge behind a 208gr eldm. I don’t see any pressure signs and am 1gr below book max. Is this something I need to be concerned about riding...

    Help understanding bullet BC

    So I was looking at bullet BCs today and I noticed that Hornady shows the exact same G1 and G7 numbers for the 6mm 108gr ELDM as the .270 143gr ELDX. Can someone explain to me why the 108 is so highly thought of and the 270 is made out to be a bowling ball? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    16.5” .243 or 6.5CM?

    I got a gift card for a new rifle and will be buying a tikka and cutting it to 16.5” for my suppressor. Application is for whitetail out to 500 yards. I’m trying to to decide between a 8” twist 243 or a 6.5CM. I handload so I can get the benefit out of the fast twist 243. Trying to decide in the...

    Iron Will S100 vs S125

    Has anyone seen a performance difference in the solid 100 vs the solid 125? I know the blade design is a little stubbier on the 100 and the ferrule is titanium instead of hardened steel. Do those represent such in terminal performance? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Outdoorsman Tripod for shooting

    I currently have a complete Outdoorsman tripod set up with a pan head and plates on all my optics. To say I’m investing in the system is an understatement. I have done some limited shooting with a Bogg saddle mount on the pan head and it seemed ok. Is there a preferred system for shooting off an...

    Pressure increasing with continuous shots?

    I ran into pressure signs on some 308 I was shooting today at the end of a 5 shot group. The first 3 shots seemed fine and I was visually inspecting each brass for pressure signs. The fourth shot had a heavy bolt lift and slight ejector mark. The 5 was more noticeable with bolt lift and ejector...

    .223/ 5.56 die set question

    I know this will sound elementary, but I’m getting set up to reload and have a Ruger American Ranch that is stamped 5.56 and I’m looking for a die set. Should I be looking at 223 or 5.56 sets? My other ARs are 223 Wylde. Lastly what is a good die set for someone that will probably only do...

    WTB WTB: Wyoming Elk preference point

    Okay, yeah I know that’s now how it works but hear me out. I’m sitting on 4 elk points in Wyoming and until recently thought I was basically guaranteed a tag. So much so that I’ve already made all my arrangements starting last year. Now it’s looking like it might take 4.? or more to draw 100%...

    Wyoming 2023 general party application

    I know this is a long shot and maybe taboo, but I am sitting on 4 Wyoming elk points and until recently was 100% confident in drawing a NR General tag this year. If anyone is burning 5 points or more for a general tag and would allow me to join a party application to bump my number above 4 id...

    Primer selection?

    I’m am getting back into reloading and am a little confused about primer selection given the current shortages. The only large rifle primers I have been able to find available are CCI 200 LRP. However, a lot of the load data I’ve looked at shows Win. primers and I have a buddy that only uses...

    Light weight rings for a LA Howa 1500

    I’m looking to get some lighter weight rings and bases for my Howa 270. I originally had steel Leopoldbases and rings but after holding them in my hand man they are heavy! I really like the Talley ultra lights but they are too wide to mount the scope I have. At this point it looks like I may...

    Brass?

    I started reloading as a kid about 25 years ago pre internet. Back then we used whatever brass we could find often loading and testing with all different types interchanged. Now that I’m getting back into it, it appears that brass brand and quality is a lot bigger issue. I still have tons of...

    Meopta meosport 3-15x50 input?

    Replacing bullets in factory loads

    This may be a no-no, but is it feasible to knock out the bullets in factory loads and replace them with a better quality bullet of the same weight? Reason for asking is I found some cheap federal bullets for my 300wm that shot very well during the start of the ammo shortage so I bought several...

    243 bullet for youth deer

    For the past 2 seasons I’ve been taking my son deer hunting. He is shooting a Model 7 243 with Federal blue box 100gr soft points. These were all I could find when I purchased them. Here is why I’m looking for something else. All shots are going to be within 100 yards, most at feeding animals...
