  1. .284 max range.

    I am wanting to build an ultra long range rifle in .284, but I am not sure if it is up to the task. My ranges will start at 800 yards and go to about 1500 yards. I considered the WSM's and the RSAUM's, but barrel life, or lack there of, has me concerned. Has anybody really stretched this...
  2. 20 caliber for distance ????

    Can't say for sure about the tac 20, but seeing the way my .204 blows up milk jugs at 500 yards, it should be up to the task. But remember, that any wind will wreak havoc on the tiny bullet at that distance. There are better suited cartridges for that job.
  3. Hard to pull bullets.

    I am having a little trouble with my 6.5-284. I am using a standard Redding neck die, but my groups have been a little disappointing. Decided to pull bullet on about 25 loaded cases, with kinetic style puller, and nearly beat my brains in doing it. Should I buy a set of bushing dies to...

  7. 6BR or .223 ?

    I am ready to start a new build and I was wondering which cartridge I would prefer. I have obviously narrowed it down to the 6BR or .223, but can't decide between the two. This rifle will not be used for any competition, but I do want reasonable accuracy out to about 600 yards. I...
  8. Load data confusion.

    This really does help. Thank you all for your input.
  9. Load data confusion.

    I am getting ready to try some 130 bergers in my 6.5-284 and ran into a stumper. I realize that differant manuals will publish slightly differant data, but this more than usual. Hornady manual: 129 gr. SST H 4831...

  11. Leupod VX-III EFR

    Thanks for the quick reply. I may just order one here pretty soon.
  12. Leupod VX-III EFR

    Does anybody have any information on Leupold's VX-III EFR 6.5-20x40 with 1/8 target dot? I would like to put one on my .204 if they are up to snuff. Thanks.
  13. 204 Powder

    My XR-100 shot the V-max bullets fairly well with Re-15, but it really shines with 24.3 gr. of IMR 3031 behind Sierra 39 gr. blitzkings. It will do .5 at 100 yards all day. Can't say what your rifle will like, but those two are my suggestions. Hope it helps.
  14. Bullet RPM

    I ran across a formula you all may be interested in. It really blew my mind. Vel. x 720 ----------- = Bullet RPM Twist rate
