    Load Dev Made Easy

    Group size at distance is the ultimate test. All I use ES/SD for is to screen out bad loads at short range. When I am able to tune at longer ranges I don't really worry about it. Given how easy the Garmin Xero is to set up and use, I use it frequently when I am tuning my 1000 yd BR loads. I...

    Load Dev Made Easy

    I don't post much here, for two reasons. First, I need to be careful about how I represent Unknown Munitions. Second, my preferences--1K BR, African dangerous game, big bore rifles, and short range hunting--aren't really a thing here....................though I do geek out on helping someone...

    Red Sand Safaris African Hunt

    The 416 Rem hits noticeably harder on buffalo, vs a 375 H&H, though it does have more recoil. The 416 Rem also works very well in an M-70, and I like the M-70 better than the larger CZ 550 Safari actions or similar. I didn't ever consider the 404, though it is an excellent cartridge. The 375...

    Red Sand Safaris African Hunt

    I don't exactly follow the high velocity, low recoil, small caliber approach...... My CRF M-70 in 416 Rem is an incredible cartridge for a buffalo/plains game hunt. I am shooting 400 grain Swift A-Frames at 2430 FPS and 400 grain Swift solids at 2380. (The solids were only for follow up shots...

    Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    I never carried a spoon, but there was absolutely no peacetime mission that required missing lunch, and very few wartime missions either. It was also nice being able to stand up and go pee in two of the three planes, and I REALLY missed that feature one flight when I had just got strapped...

    Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    I too was a USAF Pilot, for 24 years. I overlapped @BjornF16, I think for the whole time he was in. I flew C-130s, was a T-38 IP, then was a T-1 IP/EP. So I was qualified in a transport type aircraft, a fighter type trainer, and a business jet type aircraft. I call the C-130 a transport...

    He knows. His project is in the works. We had several discussions on the project along with a dose of "pilot shit". Not many here would understand....... :cool:

    Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    Right now I am avoiding doing all the loading I need to do tonight for my 1000 yd BR rifles AND my CRF M-70 416 Rem that I am taking to first trip to Africa this Aug for Cape Buffalo. (I have now learned that makes me a fudd.) So I looked at a couple of threads here. I guess you guys didn't...

    Eventually the Rokstok will be inlet for the M70. Right now, the Stocky's VG seems to be a very good option. They should be available now. I don't see it on the website, but I haven't fully deciphered their new website yet.

    Unknown Munitions Developed Loads Thread

    I am not sure. I do not do the 30 shot group thing. I do all my load tuning at longer distances (600 - 1000 yds), and at longer distances three-shot groups tell you the truth about your load. I have a stack of targets with with sub 1/2 MOA 10-shot 1000 yd groups (shot in competition) that I...

    Unknown Munitions is a Tikka Dealer?

    We are set up as a dealer. We are planning to stock Tikkas. Still working out the details on all that. The idea is you can get your Tikka from us, then accessorize it if you want with a threaded muzzle, brake, rings, our bottom metal (still in development), cerakote, Rokstok, etc; then we...

    Unknown Munitions Developed Loads Thread

    There are lots of ways to find loads. However, we have to separate load development from POI shifts due to conditions. We frequently miss changes in conditions at long range. Everything may look the same, but they most assuredly are not. There have been times I have watched the wind flags...

    Unknown Munitions Developed Loads Thread

    338 Edge +P seems to like 4-5 grains more H-1000 than a standard 338 Edge. So instead of 91-92, the +P will probably like 95-96ish. As always, start low and work up.

    Unknown Munitions Developed Loads Thread

    That is NOT consensus. Three-shot groups to find loads at long range tell you a lot. Using three shots groups at 1000 yds has allowed me to repeatedly shoot sub 5" 10-shot groups at 1000 yds in LRBR competitions. A couple matches ago, over two days, in varying relays and conditions, I shot...

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Currently, with the Wheeler chamber, if you get clickers you know it's most likely either a hot load, an out of spec die, oversize brass, etc. You know it's not likely an undersize chamber. I am sure the standard PRC chambers were fine at first, nominally .004 to .005" over the size of new...
