I’ve been looking for one box of the Barnes .30 Cal. 168gr. Original TSX for about a month and a half now, does anyone have any idea where there might be some available? My little sister drew her first buck tag on ranching for wildlife (lucky) but the opportunity for her to kill a 180” buck...
Was fortunate enough to take a bear and Bull this year with my .300 win. Mag and 215 Berger’s. They performed very well, as usual. Couldn’t be more blessed to have a wife that allows me time each year to be in my “safe place” up in the mountains. Huge thanks to family and friends for the help...
Anyone have any go-to loads for this combo? Not for a AR so OAL isn’t an issue. Have H335, varget, BLC2 sitting on my shelf off the top of my head, maybe a couple more. Anyone know if this bullet likes jump or jam?
Buddy took a Muley buck with his .300 and the trusty 215 Berger, MV 2,960fps. Shot was 275 Yards, steep down hill quarting away fairly hard. Bullet did massive damage to the liver, and lungs and was found off side right in the armpit of the buck. Deer didn’t even move, dropped like a rock.
Took a couple does this year in Wyoming with a 215 Berger out of my .300 Win Mag. MV is 2,991fps and this is my bullet of choice for my .300
Doe number one was at 290 Yards, and she dropped in her tracks. Bullet hit her in she shoulder caliber sized entrance,and exited in front of the off side...
Having a 6.5 Creedmoor built and am wanting to try the 129gr ABLR, wasn’t super thrilled with the 6.5 140gr Berger Elite Hunters my buddy used on antelope this year. This bullet intrigued me tho, anybody had any luck with it and H4350, H4831sc, or Varget? Thanks in advance!
Got the Peterson .300 Win. Mag. Brass in and it is packaged excellently. Checked dimensions and they were all right where they should be. Weighed 50 cases and there was only .6grs variation in all 50, most were within a .4gr spread. No burrs, necks chamfered inside and out, flash holes drilled...
Well, just got home from antelope with my buddy this year. Hunted wyoming with his cousin and had an absolute blast! Lots of animals, beautiful country, meat in the freezer and wonderful memories. My buddy and I had two doe tags a piece and his wife had one doe tag. I shot my .300 Win. Mag. And...
Well since I had to fireform all that crap brass from Nosler, I figured I'd try to do something productive with it. I decided to speed test a the 230 Berger with H1000, H4831, and RL26. I'm fortunate enough to have two .300 Win Mag barrels throated for 215 Berger's, so I put my old one one as to...
Have to fireform 50 pieces of Nosler Brass because it shoots like crap virgin. it's out of spec for OAL by .004" (2.596" is what this brass measures) trim to length is 2.610" and sammi min is 2.600. The primer pocket depth is barely in by a few tenths of a thou. My primer pockets measure .1238"...
Put the golden eagle on a buddy's 6.5x47 I've been contemplating buying from him, while I'm waiting for my .284 to get finished up. After work one day I took it and got it zeroed at 100 yards and proceeded to take it to a local 600 yard F-class shoot and was very impressed with the glass and...
Looking for an email address to directly link me to Nosler Customer Service. I emailed them via their website with no response in two weeks. I have pictures I would like to send them and their website contact doesn't allow pictures. Would like to give them the opportunity to rectify the issue...
Machined a zero stop for my Leupold today. Fits snug on the turret and doesn't spin, has about 0.040" of tension holding it in place. Made it to allow me to dial 5MOA down from my zero. Worked out pretty slick
I've currently got a Leupold VX-3 6.5-20x50mm LR scope on my .300 Win. Mag. It currently has a fine Duplex reticle, I have been pondering sending it in and having a wind plex reticle installed. I feel it would be very useful in quick windage adjustments. My concern is the cross hairs will be...
Saw this from the good folks at silencerco and had to share! Too deep for my pockets to ever do but I'm hoping some of you may get to go on an adventure for one!

Well, just ordered a 15-60x52mm Vortex Golden Eagle for an F-Class rifle I've got in the works, going to see how it compares to my 15-55NF. Will report once I get the two side by side on the range. Excited to play with it though.
Buddy and I snuck to the range today after church, it's been a blustery day in the hundred acre wood for sure, winds 15-30MPH all day. But, the winds gonna blow in competition and while hunting, so why not shoot in it? :mrgreen:
215 Berger's from the .300 definitely have an advantage in the...
So a while back, I put together a 6.5x47, set up just like my .300 to practice with and just have fun. Here's the specs:
Remington 700
McMillan A3
Jewell trigger
28" Hart 1-8" twist
20 MOA Kelbly and rings bases
6.5-20 VX-3
I used the same reamer my buddy used in his 6.5x47 F-class gun and it...
Going through my phone this evening, I found this video of a shot I took with my .300 Win. Mag. It's cold bore with my standard set up, Leica 1600, Kestrel 2500, Applied Ballistics software and my trusty .300 with 215 Berger's. I love the challenge and science of making cold bore first round...
