   Moa Hunter liked post by Spitfire On thread : Full length resizing 7mm Rem Mag problem

   Try just using your rifle’s chamber as a comparator. Bump the shoulder until you get just a slight amount of resistance when closing the bolt. Too much and you will be head spacing off the belt...

   Moa Hunter liked post by Spitfire On thread : Changing from 123 SST to something else ?

   NABLR for a Grendel? Much better options than that, and the high BC is wasted, plus they are very expensive for shooting goats. It’s a bonded projectile and not a great long range design as it relies...

   Yes, he’s good - was doing the Gun City riflesmithing when they were in Mot. He’s an interesting bugger too. Dave Ward, ph 03 543 3777, of Dovedale Road, Nelson.

   wsm junkie liked post by Spitfire On thread : AR 2217 for 300 wsm

   2217 is a great powder for heavies. My .300WM with a 26” barrel does 2980 with 208s. 2217 is also very temp stable and pretty easy to find.

   Moa Hunter liked post by Spitfire On thread : 300 Win Mag or 300WSM?

   Both will get the job done, but .300WM comes into its own with 200+ grain projectiles. I have a 26” .300WM that throws 208 ELD-Ms at 2980fps, which a .300WSM will not do. .300WSM is more...

   2217/H1000 - temperature stable and good velocity, plus relatively easy to source. 77.6 grains with 208 ELD-M in mine.

    Tim Dicko liked post by Spitfire On thread : 300win mag, 300prc, 300rum, 300norma vrs

    Plenty good enough for me and I was surprised at the speed the 208s zipped along at. Interestingly, it gained almost 100 fps after 90 rounds or so.

    takbok liked post by Spitfire On thread : 25-06 why hasn't it achieved fame and success in New Zealand?

    After 21 pages I guess .25-06 has achieved sufficient interest, and rightly so. I have had three over the years and shot a hatful of deer with them. If I was to have another it would be barreled...

    veitnamcam liked post by Spitfire On thread : 178gr ELD-X

    I have found that A-Max, ELD-M and ELD-X like 20-30 thou jump in my rifles. That’s based on loading for .25-06, .30.06. 7RM, .300WM, .284 Win. All but one liked 20 thou and then a bit of tinkering...

    Getting it out of the US will be your first problem. Without an export licence you will be committing a federal offence and it’s taken seriously.

    It’s your choice, but I would go 6.5x47 if it were me. Like the Creedmoor, it was specifically designed for target shooting, but is a shorter case and has small primer pockets as standard. That...
