    SIG CROSS Carbon Barrel...

    I don't think you'll be disappointed. The groups below were consecutive groups .3 grains apart in an ocw with 150 ELDX. Both were sub quarter moa. I'm loving this new barrel and chambering. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    SIG CROSS Carbon Barrel...

    This was the factory 308 barrel taken off my Cross. According to my cheap kitchen scale it was 2lbs 3.2oz. The Carbon 6 barrel I got through Schnee's which is 4" longer was only 2 ounces heavier. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Bullet Performance; Low Velocity ELD-X, Terminal Ascent, or Accubonds?

    Of your options, my Cross definitely shot the Terminal Ascent the best. I think the velocities I was getting were between 2400 and 2450 fps. I took a caribou at 100 yards a couple years ago with that combination and it performed flawlessly. Last year I took another caribou at 150 yards with an...

    what hunting bullet and powder 16” 308

    I found a 178 grain ELD-X load with a muzzle velocity of 2350 and a 175 grain LRX load with MV of 2450 that are both sub moa out of my 16" barrel. Both use VARGET and both are mid 1700s FPS at 450 yards. The manufacturer minimum expansion velocity for both is 1600 FPS. I don't think I'll ever...

    30 Nosler +P

    If you'd care to elaborate on what it was you found disappointing I'd be appreciative. I've been considering one of their actions. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    30 Nosler +P

    Now that you have some trigger time on that Mesa Precision action what are your thoughts? If you had it to do all over again would you still choose the same action? As light as it is it seems great for a mountain rifle, but I haven't been able to find very much on it in the way of reviews. Sent...

    Minimum Magazine Clearance

    What is the minimum clearance your willing to load your overall length to that you feel will still provide reliable feeding from the magazine? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Hooded grid fleece

    I love Kuiu's Peloton 240. It comes with me almost every time. The Kryptek Arma Hoodie is a little heavier but it's also great and very warm. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    7 SAUM COAL

    Great question... I've been debating over those two cartridges for a while now, and still I'm torn. The 280 AI also seems like a great cartridge. It holds more in the magazine, chambers smoothly and has a great reputation in it's own right. The reason I'm leaning towards the 7 SAUM is because...

    7 SAUM COAL

    How far off the lands are you at with your custom chambering? Do you find that you have excessive jump with the lighter weight bullets? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    7 SAUM COAL

    Thanks for posting! What are you thinking about doing different with it this year? Going with a new chambering? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    7 SAUM COAL

    Anyone willing to share overall lengths on 7 SAUM handloads along with what bullets your using? I'm debating between different actions for a new build. I've ruled out unmodified short actions, but am still deciding between short actions with extended mags and modified bolt stops, medium action...

    7 SAUM or 280 AI

    Probably a Model 70 long action. I'm considering a Model 70 short action too for the SAUM, and should be able to get a COAL of 3.100" by removing the back spacer in the mag box (this might also require some tooling). I've heard of some handloads seating the bullet out as far as 3.300" though so...

    7 SAUM or 280 AI

    I know they are basically ballistic twins, but I'm wrestling over which one I should go with on a new build. Convince me why I should go with one over the other, or just flip a coin. This will be a mountain rifle that I use for hunting sheep/goat/black bear. I am looking to stay lightweight and...
