Nice work. Hope you get to put that .375 to use against a big critter. If not, it'll still work on small ones too!

Reloading / Re: 340 loads for heavier bullets
« on: January 19, 2025, 06:55:11 PM »
The heaviest I have loaded in my Lazermark .340 is the 250grn Barnes TSX. I used it on tough water buffalo and scrub bulls here in Australia. However I found the Barnes 225grn TSX was a little better when zipping along around about 3150fps. It gave me heaps of one shot kills on African plains game, lion, lioness, and scrub bulls down here. It is a great bullet for long range and If I was to ever get a chance at an elk that is what I would use.

Ammo / Re: 340 Weatherby load data
« on: December 28, 2024, 07:05:46 PM »
Although I have never used that projectile I know they are quite solid in build and I suggest using load data for the 250grn Barnes TSX and you could work up from that. Or even the starting load for the 225grn TSX.

I have one in 7mm PRC on order. I quite like the wood look with cerakote. I have a few rifles already that have wood stocks and I then had the metal work cerakoted in both matt black and gloss black. They came up a treat.

I wouldn't think a shorter barrel would cause the rifle to jump. It will increase the muzzle blast though and that may have you flinching at the shot. Perhaps get someone else to try shooting a group and see how it goes.

I am shooting the 140grn Remington Corelokt factory ammo in mine and it is very accurate.

Rifles / Re: 6.5 300 mag zero

To take advantage of it's fantastic trajectory I zeroed mine at 300. No need to hold over for shots past 400.

Around the Campfire (General Discussion) / Re: Quick Release scope rings———How secure are they?
« on: November 06, 2024, 07:54:46 PM »
I have QR scope rings on several of my rifles. They hold just fine on big kickers and retain zero after being removed and replaced. A couple of my rifles I have taken over seas wear them just in case something goes wrong with the scope it has on. I usually take a 2nd scope in a set of QR's pre zeroed as a backup.
Another of my rifles is a switch barrel so it has a low powered scope when using the .375 Ruger barrel and a bigger scope when using the 6.5x65 RWS barrel.

« on: November 03, 2024, 06:24:06 PM »
I use the shoulder shot every chance I can. I like to anchor them with the first shot in case they run off somewhere where I may not be able to get to them. Plus, when hunting dangerous game, it is a good shot so as it slows them down and can prevent a charge.
