    Greetings kiwi-adam, I think that both you and I need to get out in the bush more. We both seem to be prone to over thinking things. My more rational side tells me that you have two rifles that work...

    Greetings taupo_cowboy, Yes with caution. The Game Changers are described as a tipped Match King with a stouter jacket. The last may increase the pressure slightly so start with the start load to...

    Greetings kiwi-adam, Still nice to dream though. My tendancy to procrastination generally keeps me out of trouble but not always. There is a Rem 700 Sendero chambered for the 7mm Rem SAUM in the...

    Moa Hunter liked post by grandpamac On thread : Dealing with a flinch
    Greetings, As mentioned above we teach ourselves to flinch and need to teach ourselves not to. The key is practice. Dry firing will help but only live firing will really kill the beast. If you have...

    Greetings matthewhall2912, You may wish to think of your first rifle as a trainer rifle for other rifles later on. While it is great to think about a best rifle for whatever use you may want to use...

    Greetings again, Looking at those velocities again the 136 fps loss of velocity is HUGE. It is equivalent to dropping the charge by two and a half grains. It is really important to find out what the...

    Greetings, That is a pretty wimpy load, about 3 grains under max by my estimate. I note that the drop works out by estimate so it is possibly not a chrono error but I wouldn't rule it out. I would...

    Greetings Again, There seems to be something odd with the 7mm-08 chamber drawing that Kelton posted. All the other scources seem to agree on a max case length of 2.035 inches, same as the 7mm Rem...
