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.
I had a Delta Elite and it was a great gun, really too good. It had the two tone polished blue/matte blue finish, and I just couldn't bring myself to beat it up in the field. I ended up migrating to a G20 with a KKM barrel. If I was doing it again with your criteria and budget, I'd probably...
With this test today, it right at 2950, out of a 20" barrel. I'm out of room with RL16, haven't decided if I'm happy with that or if I'll be trying a different powder. Accuracy was excellent.
Things got a little weird at the range. Not that 17m2 ever looks big, but it’s comical next to my new 33 Nosler from @p_ham. Projectile is some oddball overrun from the Nosler factory store, it’s a 227gr ETip that is similar to, but not the same as, the regular 225 ETip. Performance with a...
Had a good year after some lean ones. Pulled a shorter than group hunt with my dad, niece, and family friend, her first tag ever. And somehow the 091 rut rifle tag for myself, I had 12 points so I wasn't really expecting to draw. I've killed cow and spike elk, but this will be my first bull...
That isn't too much of a neck, so it should go pretty smooth, I'd just go straight to FL sizing with your 7M die, shouldn't need annealing with new brass. One thing with necking down, it pays to use minimal to no lube right on the shoulder itself. Really any lube in that area can cause dents...
I really like my Ruger Wrangler, probably 80% as good as a Single Six for 1/3 of the money. Perfect little lightweight 22 that you don't feel too bad about beating up in the field. I'd also consider a Henry Garden Gun and a nice sling, not a handgun but arguably more effective, easier to make...
They were at Sheep Show one year, and I really liked the packaroons, plus I'd heard them on a podcast and liked the backstory. So, I went on their site to order some and try some meals, but they had no inventory. I thought maybe show season had sold them out, so I checked back later in the...
