Thread: 1000m rifle.... What?

yea wicked man

Hey all, just reading this thread and looking for something with longer legs, I see plenty of 308's and 7mm08's on Tme, how are they for distance on reds and also 30 06? Any advice greatly appreciated, have a 6.5 x55 swede mauser which is my main rifle, hoping to get enough gear together to reload my 303.25 (been sitting idle for 20 years!!) and also a LE no4 mk1 that needs a barrell (border line tomato stake material....).

Had a play with a 6.5 saum last week was awesome

Just what do you need to stretch out to 1000 for you could always get a second mortgage and try a 338 Lapua Mag.

Back to the AI, my 260 Ai shoots just as well with fire-forming loads as it does with formed loads. 3050 with a 140 Berger (30 inch barrel)

I form my .260 improved cases with AS- 30N and a M16 patch. Hopefully saving barrel life.
Close to1/2 MOA on first load at 200yrds and gets scary accurate @ 2980fps on the second firing if I am shooting well. Pretty happy as it performs with what most would consider, very cheap components. ☺
