    HOWA questions here

    I do as much as I can myself. That's just me. If I didn't think I could do it right, I'd send it back.

    I own this exact shotgun and it is by far the best shotgun I've ever owned, bar none. Balance and pointing are effortless and it is incredibly well made. GLWS!

    6.5 bullets - ELD-X and TTSX

    For that weight, I don't think anything is cheaper than the flat rate small box, but I can check.

    Ramshot Big Game Powder

    I keep hearing about these speeds with 20" barrels from a 7-08 but I've owned five 7-08's now and probably loaded 3k rounds with 10 different powders and I've never gotten close. Even my fastest barrel ever - that shot 120 TTSX's over 3100 fps with CFE 223 - would only give me 2800 with 140's...

    Ramshot Big Game Powder

    2720 is about typical for 140's from a 7mm-08 in my experience. I've loaded for that cartridge for about 7 years now, and dozens of loads amounting to thousands of rounds. Some guys can get 2800 (some even claim more) from 140's out of a 7mm-08 but I've never gotten close out of hunting-length...

    Cell phone adapters for spotting scopes

    My favorite after trying a few, is the Outdoorsman's system. Had mine for 2 years now and I'm completely satisfied.

    Water - How Much?

    Almost every backpacking guide you will find recommends a gallon/day. That said, everyone is different. I can get by on 2 quarts/day even in the hottest conditions while a good friend of mine needs at LEAST a gallon if not more. Also depends on if you're doing any washing or cooking at all...

    Hornady CX 120's (6.5 mm)

    My pleasure. But be careful. Reloading can be addictive! Especially when you're always searching for that next 1/2 MOA load!

    Hornady CX 120's (6.5 mm)

    This is typical of what I'm getting. Three trips to the range and all have been like this. This group was 3 shots with the H4350 and 3 shots with the IMR 4350. 0.6" total for six shot group. ELD-X's out of this gun are nothing special (1"- 1.2") but it sure seems to like these 120 CX's...

    Hornady CX 120's (6.5 mm)

    good questions Loading with factory Hornady brass, CCI 200's and both H4350 and IMR 4350. Primary load will be 43.5g of H4350 @ 2830 fps. and my backup will be 44 grains of IMR 4350 @ 2840 fps. when I can't source the H4350. Seating the bullet at the bottom of the 1st cannelure. Both shoot...

    Hornady CX 120's (6.5 mm)

    Understand. I've been using 120 TTSX's for about 5 years now. I don't mind a little blood tracking. Been doing it for over 40 years with a bow. Most TTSX-shot deer I've killed made it between 50-100 yards before dying, similar to many bow-shot deer I've taken. If I want DRT I'll use SST's...

    We are starting load development, 7MMx57 AI.

    I think you made some good choices. I've always heard that for AI's 7x57 or 7mm-08, to use the max published load as your starting load, but I've never had an AI's round either. I think of all the AI's, the 7x57 makes the most sense. As you say, she can grow with it. Should be a fun one to...

    Hornady CX 120's (6.5 mm)

    Not sure if anyone else has tried these, but I'm getting the best groups of my life with 120 CX's out of a factory Savage 6.5 CM. Three trips to the range with 5-10 shot groups averaging 0.6" Anyone else loading this bullet or any other CX's? I'm trying 150's from my .308 now. Working up...
