    .243 Win and 95 NBT

    My .243 Win is refusing to shoot the 80 TTSX, simply refusing, so I changed gears. I have a couple of boxes of 95gr NBT so I figured I would give them a whirl. It looks as if it's going to work out. WW Brass CCI 200 IMR-4350 - 41grs 95gr Nosler Ballistic Tip 120yds

    T/C Encore Pro Hunter 28" 35 Whelen

    I was gifted a T/C Encore Pro Hunter 28" 35 Whelen yesterday from a friend and I'll need some guidance from the Whelenizers here. I figure I'll put Talley LW lows on it, some form of Leupold, RCBS dies and the 225gr Accubond. I also have a box of 250gr Hornady RN laying on the shelf. I have...

    Barnes 105gr Match Burner

    I loaded up some 105 Match Burners for my .243 win Rem 700 ADL to rezero everything after a paint job. Groups were good, right around .5" for 3 shots @ 100yds. I had 1 round left and I had one milk jug and a pair of 2 gallon jugs filled up with water to see how it would do against something...

    Things are looking up for old Lightning.....

    My .257 Roberts Ruger Ultralite, nicknamed Lightning because it never hit the same place twice, has been a thorn in my side as far as accuracy since I got it. I am into it for $0, I won it at our local shop so it's really no big deal it just ran all over me that it wouldn't shoot. Shooting a...

    Tough season, but GMX'd one to death

    Toughest deer season I have ever had, got a doe during muzzleloader and then during a rifle doe quota hunt I managed to luck into another one. I have owned a .243 Win for over 20 years but have never deer hunted with one until now. I got a smoking deal on some Hornady 80GMX bullets and struck...

    Harvester Crush Rib + .458" bullets

    I have used the Harvester Crush Rib black sabot in my Encore for a few years now with .452" bullets and BH209. I know BH209 needs a very good seal for proper ignition so after reading an article about using .458" bullets in the blacks I decided to try it out. I used the 350 Hornady FP with a...

    .243 Win + 80 GMX

    I got a good deal on some Hornady 80gr GMX and since I have never used them I was curious if any of you guys have? I have a load with the 80ttsx and imr4350 @ 45.5grs that shoots really good, but I don't have data on the GMX. I see some places say to treat it like the E-tip and start them...

    Pimp my Rob

    I get a call from a friend who happens to own my favorite gun shop @ 9:00am this morning. He tells me he has something I REALLY need to see, nothing else just to get a look at and a feel for. I loaded up and headed north not knowing what to expect. I walk in the door and he hands me a form...

    Tumbled bullets

    Got a deal on some 87gr BTHP that had a nice green hue to them. :) I threw them in the tumbler without thinking and when they emerged the tips have media in them. Is this something I should worry about, will it impact accuracy? I feel like a real rocket surgeon now...... Thanks!

    You guys made me do it........

    An unfired, "used" Remington 700 ADL .243 Win followed me home today. I am going to work on bedding it and then get some Talleys and decide on which Leupold to plop on it. It's going after deer this fall so which bullet, 90 Accubond, 80 TTSX, 80 GMX, or 90 Deep Curl?

Is there a specific poundage the action screws need to be torqued to? I...
