The partition load is pretty accurate. At 100 yds three shots touch as long as I don't screw it up. And I am not overly concerned with an exit wound as long as the deer hits the dirt. Where I hunt ...

No I didn't. We got started at 2 am and by the time he hit the ground I was worn out. So we gutted and other then running my hand along the inside of his chest feeling for a hole I didn't put much i ...

I got lazy and didn't read through all of the posts to see if anyone already mentioned it, but I will throw out Redfield. Made by Leupold and American made with a lifetime guarantee. I bought the 4- ...

Saturday had a decent 10 point walk out and I got to use the loads I worked up. H4350 behind a 100 gr nosler partition. One shot broadside at about 125 yds and he dropped where he stood. Now, it ha ...

Almost in the center in the field maybe 5-6 feet from the treeline. Looks like a doe. She would be head to the left but has her head turned toward the camera.

Aloysius, I will give that a try. I am not concerned with hitting individual hairs myslef either. Truth is every shot I took with all of the load combinations were well within the size of a deers he ...

Just an update. I have come to the conclusion that the gun has a shallow chamber. The factory loads run 2.777 oal which fit fine and the loads I was loading up with the 75 gr bullets called for an o ...

How exactly do you have a chamber casting done? Or is it something that you can do at home? I keep forgetting to measure the length of the bullets. I will tomorrow and post up what I find.

But the shorter you go the more pressure. I am very confident that the bullets are 75 gr. sierra hollow points. My Dad was very particular about things and the only boxes of 6mm bullets he had were ...

After I posted that last message I looked in my Lee book and there are some heavier varget loads in there. I have looked at the Hodgdon site before but never for varget. Plenty of loads on there for ...

I have considered varget, but when you get into heavier bullets the powder is not listed for these weights.

I have checked the oal of a factory round and it runs in the 2.7xx range. Some of the load data with IMR4320 calls for an oal in the 2.7xx range (I believe 2.744 but I do not have the book in front o ...

It's a Remington 600. The cases alone fit in the chamber fine, so I don't believe it is incorrect shoulder angle, etc. The rifle was my Dad's, he bought it sometime in the late 60's early 70's. He ...

Thanks for the info I will give it a try tomorrow. It is a 6mm, I have read all I can about the caliber. The information varies as to what the twist rate is. I ran a tight fitting patch down the ba ...
