    The 6.5mm, 129 gr. SSTs Work!

    I picked up my long awaited box about two weeks ago, and have been doing some load testing. These bullets are extremely accurate in both the .260 Rem and the .264 Win Mag. Velocities are 2,860 fps in the .260, and 3,280 fps in the .264. Both rifles shoot them into three shot, 300 yard...

    How To Make "X" Bullets Shoot Like MatchKings

    I have had a few inquiries lately about how to make Barnes bullets shoot accurately. I have had great success as of late getting just about every Barnes bullet I've tried to shoot well. In fact, in my seven different Ruger Model 77 MK IIs, my most accurate load in six of them are now X...

    SST vs. Ballistic Tip

    I recently acquired a Ruger Model 77 MK II SS in 7mm Rem Mag. I decided to do a head to head test of the 139 gr SST vs. the 140 gr BT to see which one shot better. First of all, the BTs were a consistent 20-30 fps faster than the SSTs with the same powder charge. No big deal, must have...

    X Bullet = Deep Penetration

    Well, I've got a story to tell, and I must say I'm not terribly proud to tell it, but there's something of value to be learned. I was filling my doe license yesterday, and took a bit of a longish (360 yards) shot at a doe standing in the middle of field. I misjudged the wind drift, and hit her...

    Sizing Brass and Case Life

    Just kind of curious how some of the "powderheads" (we called the car guys in high school "motorheads", so I made up my own term for reloaders) on this board size their brass. Full length resizzing will definitely shorten case life, I learned that when I first started reloading. I'm curious...

    Rifle Twist Rate/Bullet Stabilization Calculator

    I just found this site that will calculate a bullet's stability factor when fired out of a barrel. It's here: http://internet.cybermesa.com/~jbm/ballistics/drag/drag.html

    Hornady "Light Magnum" Test Results

    We had a discussion last week about the Hornady light magnum loads, and I said that I planned on doing some testing of one. The two test rifles are a Win Mod 70, 22" barrel, and a Mauser 98 with a 24" barrel. The cartridge tested is the .308 Win caliber, 165 gr. BTSP, which is catalogued as...

    Nodak Hunter's Sheep Hunt

    I was just reading the threads about the story contest, here's my entry. It was the fall of 1991, and I had just recently returned from my nine month long all expenses paid trip to the Persian Gulf, courtesy of Uncle Sam. It felt good to be home. While overseas, I had kept regular...

    Hand Priming Tools

    I was priming some .260 Rem cases this morning, and the handle broke on my Lee Auto Primer AGAIN. (Third time) I'm tired of the pot metal stuff they make this tool out of. I love the design and the "feel", but it's frustrating when this happens. Since this has happened before, I always have...
