MtMuley, there is still life left in the barrel i will agree with you but at that round count the groups have started to open up past what I want especially with a really thin profiled carbon wrapped barrel it heats up fast based upon the first carbon barrel I had installed on it, its on its...
There is no reason to get anything other than the 300wm, unless you want to push a heavy bullet as fast as possible and are ok with what that means in terms of barrel life, recoil, ease of shooting, and having to reload. With that being said I do use a 300 RUM for my elk rifle but I like pushing...
Honestly it wouldn’t be the best/safest idea but I would probably have just shot the mixture running a minimum charge rate for which ever powder made up the bulk of the mix especially since their charge weights overlap for a 130 gr pill.
Press wise, I would use a turret press. I use a Redding t7. By doing so you still treat everything like a single stack it just allows you to have multiple dies set up on a manual rotating head assembly.
The rifle was still well under 1 moa, but the groups started opening up consistently. At which point I decided to rebarrel it. Since then I have gone to a carbon wrapped barrel and solely use it for hunting not, instead of hunting and long range target shooting.
Not as many people make them for the centerfeed long action as you would think. Stockies if you like wood, McMillan will make one, Hogue makes then, Bell & Carson I think still makes one, and Im not sure on HS Precision. Manners stopped supporting Savage. After that you are looking at a chassis...
For me I limit my archery shots to 50%-75% the distance I practice at depending on what I am hunting. So with that being said I limit myself to 45-50 yards and under for hunting purposes with a bow.
I load 89.5 gr of retumbo in my 300 RUM when using the 230 berger hybrids and WLRM primers using Norma Brass. Seated at 3.845 OAL running 3075 out of a 28" barrel.
Does anyone have a list of places that will rent out skiffs in SE Alaska? I am having trouble locating some for a spring bear hunt in 2020 I am working on planning for. Any leads would be much appreciated. Thank you, Carl
