    10mm's that can handle Buffalo Bore

    I have shot thousands of 180gr cast WFN through my G20. Proper sizing and lube in the key. Sized Too small or too poor a lube and you’ll get deposits. The Glock has polygonal rifling which is the “concern”.

    3rd Row SUV Experiences

    2018 Ford Expedition Max. Very usable 3rd row and stowage areas. Tows my 6200# boat without issue. Quiet and comfortable. Has been reasonably reliable. I have about 118k miles so far Agree with others that mid size 3rd row SUVs are a compromise. I’d be looking at a new/used Lexus GX series or...

    AAC ammo quality?

    I shoot a lot of their 300 BLK stuff with the 110 VMax. In 2 of my rifles it’s right at MOA. In my other it’s 1.5 MOA. Good enough for me. The ES was in the 60’s and SD was 15-18 for the samples I shot.

    Christensen Arms - bad first impression

    I bought a Ridgeline Ti in 308 when they first came out. Bedded a 20 MOA rail on the top and threw on my VX6 3-18 on it. Even with break in and hand loading best I could reasonably reproduce was 1.5 MOA at 100-300 yards. I called CA, got a return call and they swapped on a new barrel and back in...

    300 BLK in AR

    I'm sighted in at 100 yards. If a deer I hold at the top of the back if 200 yards. But thats a rare shot for me. I wouldnt shoot it at game more than 200 yards.

    300 BLK in AR

    I love the 300 BLK. Where it shines is in 2 areas. 1. Barrel length being the same, it will have more energy than 223/556. Short barrels are cool and easy to move around. Think supers with 110-125gr fodder. 2. Subsonic My personal fave is a Sig AR "pistol" ive added a larger 12" handguard to...

    I need some AR expertise

    I'd recommend Aero Precision matched upper/lower and use their compatible parts and use a Proof Carbon barrel. Yes you can build for cheaper. No "warranty" as a whole.

    Christensen Stock Issues

    I had to send in a 308 that didn't have the accuracy that I had hoped for. They rebarreled it without issue and has shot 3/4 MOA since. I have no doubt theyll take care of you. Keep us up to date. I wonder if the FFT stocks need a bit more meat in the pillar areas.

    looking for beta on 7mm rem mag vs 300WM

    Nothing wrong with a 150-165gr Partition to do the work you described. If wanting an excuse for a new rifle, I'd do the 300 WM in a moderate (7-8#) rifle of the two you listed. If open to different cartridges, perhaps the 7mm PRC would be a good choice.

    6.5 prc recoil?

    6.5 PRC in similar weight guns is best compared to a 308 based on free recoil values.

    Which Red Dot for a Pistol?

    I have several Trijicon RMR variety after using some of the lesser ones from Vortex, Bushnell, Burris. I always come back to the RMR. I do have a Leupold DeltaPoint that sits onto of one of my 41 Mags that I launch heavies out of with stiff loads of 296 and 11FS that has held up well.

    Best bino under $600

    MY BX4's are very good. Naturally we will defend our purchase decisions and promote a good product if it is indeed good in our personal experience. I had looked at several in the under $500 range and decided on the Leupolds because of brand experience and I felt they looked better in person...

    Resistance when resizing.

    As everyone has eluded to, you need to lube your inside case neck. I’ve gone to Hornady One shot and imperial size wax. I have some older wooden midway charge blocks (c.1980’s) and spray the cases with one shot. A touch of imperial size wax and they’re slicker than snot and don’t have any...

    7mm Rem Mag bullet for Elk

    Any quality hunting bullet from 160-175gr will suit you well and work in your rifle with its twist rate. Pick your poison, develop a load and go to town.

    Barnes .458 300

    I have not used the monometals in 45/70. I prefer cast. Everyone gets hung up on "Hard" cast. Not needed. I prefer 300-420gr wt class. WFNGC design 50/50 pure and COWW. Ignite over healthy dose of 3031 or Varget. Current go to is a 350gr WFNGC with 50gr 3031. That nets me a velocity of 1890 fps...

    7mm-08 all around hunting load

    For whatever reason, I never could get my 7mm-08 to shoot the 140 weight class to my liking (Sub MOA for 5 shots out to 300 yards). I do run 120gr Nosler BT at 3100 FPS out of a 22" Proof barrel that is 1/2 MOA out to 300 Yards if I do my part. If I was going to start load development again on...

    308 Powder Choice - 155/165

    Varget, 8208XBR (better success with 150's than heavier bullets, just too fast), H4895

    Any harm in annealing brass twice?

    You can anneal again if there is concern. I'd probably just load and go if not a competition target rifle.

    Pistol/ revolver powders?

    CFE Pistol would work well for you in the calibers listed if wanting a newer powder. Otherwise I love W-231. W-296 and 11FS (a "newer and improved" 296 if you will) in my magnums with jacketed #9 with cast in my revolvers.
