    Roarless20 liked post by Hunter_Nick On thread : Short barrel 6.5prc vs .270win

    Hi grandpamac there is a huge following in the states for the 77gr TMK pushed by 8208. One long time shooter and loader claimed better velocities with 8208 than 4895. I have tried both with that...

    Nice. I’ve been wanting to get a swfa 3-9 for ages after all the praises they get from the lads on Rokslide. I ended up with an actual Nightforce in the end. The 2.5-10

    Good on ya, the can doesn’t detract from that beautiful bit of kit in the slightest. I bet once you use it, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to chop it!

    Honestly there are only a couple of items on your list that you’ll buy once. One is your rifle which you already have, and the other is bino’s. The rest of it will be a trial and error journey as no...

    Yeah there’s a video of it playing out on a billy goat. Thing to remember is the target was 250yds and beyond, so outside the best impact velocity for that projectile type- first hits at 2200fps and...

    Thought I’d add this to the thread Wingman if that’s ok? May be useful data for someone. Found a good load for my 6x45 today. 18” barrel 1-10 twist. 70gr Ballistic Tip BM8208 Winchester case...

    I personally believe you would see bugger all difference between the two. An unsuitable bullet in the 6.5 could even result in a longer trailing job than the .223 with the right bullet. This thread...

    This has got to be the single best thing I’ve done to my JW15. It’s a great little rifle and quite accurate, but the 4 miles of overtravel in the trigger has always annoyed me. Just didn’t feel like...

    It’s a piece of walnut grown in Marlborough. Apparently from a tree planted by the first European settlers of the area. Go ahead and do it, you only live once right?
