    Does anyone have a easy button for the ABLR bullets?

    I know there is no magical east button but I have tried these bullets in 2 guns now and can’t get under 1.5” moa. I tried my 30-06 with 190s and that gun shoots easily under 1” moa with regular accubonds. Then tried some 150s in my 7mm-08 with several powders and various depths with zero luck...

    6.5 prc vs 7mm-08 for 18”-20” barrel

    I am looking for some experience between these two cartridges. I currently own a 20” 7mm-08 and can get roughly 2750fps 140 hand loaded accubonds. I am now looking at buying a new tikka and customizing it with a new barrel and stock. But can’t decide if upgrading to a 6.5 prc is worth it in a...

    I am been looking to build a new rifle winter to replace my 7mm-08 and noticed the 6.5 prc doesn’t beat it by much in Nosler?

    Curious on everyone’s take on this? Seems like the 140grn nosler loads are extremely similar https://www.nosler.com/6-5-prc-140gr-accubond-trophy-grade-ammunition.html https://www.nosler.com/7mm-08-rem-140gr-accubond-trophy-grade-ammunition.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Trying to find load data but I can never find the exact bullet/powder combo?

    I am fairly new to reloading so this might be a rookie question. When I try to find some load data I can never find the exact bullet I am shooting and powder combo. So I am wondering what everyone does in this situation? For example I have found a load for nosler ballistic tip in 140 but I am...

    Curious what everyone else would do with the elk mount

    I recently mounted a euro mount above my door and tried to centre it to the door but the light fixture is making it look odd I think. Should I move it over and not have it centred? I still have to frame in the barn wood to finish it off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Need some suggestions on finding a lightweight stock for a savage lightweight storm

    I have been looking for a aftermarket stock for my 7mm-08 savage lightweight storm. It is my mountain rifle so I would like to keep it lightweight. The gun shoots very well right now but the front of the stock is very flexible and cheap feeling. Any brands I should be looking at? Sent from my...

    Should I load light copper bullets or heavy high BC bullets?

    I am looking to start hand loading for my 7mm-08. It will be mainly used in the mountains for sheep hunting and moose/elk at reasonable distances. The sheep hunting may require longer shots. I have never shot copper bullets but have seen some good reviews. Wondering what would be the better...

    Lightweight FFP scopes?

    Hello Everyone, I am looking at setting up a ultralight mountain gun. I have tried a few lightweight dialing scopes and have had bad luck with the returning to zero. I was hoping to find a MOA reticle but hate the idea of having to be zoomed in on max for the hash marks to read properly. I...

    Has anyone went from a 7mm-08 to a 6.5 prc?

    I’m looking at setting up a ultralight weight sheep/elk gun and I currently own a 7mm-08 and looking to replace the stock and thread the barrel but I could easily sell it and buy a new 6.5 prc instead. I am mainly wondering how the recoil is compared to each other? Gun will be roughly 6lbs...

    Has anyone had the savage lightweight storm barrel threaded?

    I know it’s not the most popular rifle but I have one in 7mm-08 and it weighs only 5.5lbs. I originally bought it to set up as a ultralight rifle for bighorn sheep hunting. I’ll be honest I set it up with a swaro z3 brx scope to keep it light and it shot lights out at the range but I always...
