I use a starting load with a 87 gn pill to fire form cases. They are quite accurate for game or paper. After fire forming I reckon you should anneal them as they tend to get brittle necks a bit...

I had a similar problem with my 260 improved and found if I gently closed the action on the round rather than normal speed, I had a higher success rate. Shutting too fast pushed the projectile into...

An interesting scan through this thread, I've had a .257R as my go to for best part of 40years now, a Medium Action BSA Hunter with a worn out 7x57 tube, Din Collings rebarreled it into 257x57 with a...

Is this 3 shot group of mine at 200 yards a reliable indicator of accuracy?? Seriously. Im sure this is how the absolute majority of hunters think. 250722 I shoot 3 shoot groups to establish...

A 3 shot group would have to be better than bore sighting a scope and calling it done, surley?

Sleep til dawn, fluff around having coffee and suffering through oats, scrounge up gear, wander off and shoot a deer that's out at midday. No need to rush

Im inclined to agree. Most hunters just sight in with a few shots and then shoot a series of one shot groups at animals. Thats not to say that the theory in this thread isn't correct, and I fire a...
