I’ve already got a wsm, and plenty of magnums really. I have a ton of .277 Fury brass that I’ve already formed to 260ai and I could do it for 243ai if I needed more headroom.
That is great, last I knew there were still some slower ones out there. I have a great 6 Manbun, but after Paul made my 260 and AI, I really think an 243ai would be ideal.
I just see going lead free as an extension of conservation. Game animals of all sizes die just as well with appropriate for cartridge monos as they do with cup and core, so there is no reason to leave a toxic mess on the landscape. I shoot coyotes all the time, but I don't want to see them...
Two times have I had misalignment. One was poor factory muzzle threading, and one ended up being a can that was poorly aligned. But I have 30 cans and I've been in the game for a long time.
Most, if not all of the people saying you can just eyeball it, or if the barrel is threaded well it is fine, will be surprised how many are off if you actually check them. I have alignment rods in 22, 243, 264, 30, and 338, and every new can/gun combo gets checked.
I was deep into 5.7x28 years ago, its a really great little cartridge. I started out with one of the 57 AR uppers that uses the 50 round FN PS90 mags. I got the FN handgun and its a great shooting gun, very different than most of the other stuff out there. FN said they were going to release a...
That guy was amazing, top tier human for sure. Watching his movie, I was thinking the whole time that no one can climb that many of the 8,000ers and cheat fate for as long as he had already. He earned a place in history for sure.
Its worth cleaning the barrel before you retest those Barnes, they might shoot even better, I have really seen them improve when not mixing cup and core and monolithic projectiles.
Thats different from my experience, I load for a friend who has dropped a cow elk, blacktail, and a large feral hog with a Howa Superlight in 308 and the 150et. I'd think the velocity in 7ht with a 140 would be great for reasonable hunting distances. I do know that the ETip has been easy to...
I'd for sure try the 140 ETip in that rifle with Varget or Big Game, should work pretty good. The 132 Hammer HHT would be near the top of my list too, those HHTs just seem to work for me in everything.
