    Hunting & Fishing Best pig gun?

    My buddy and I have been killing some pigs lately. I've been using 308 and he is shooting 300 blackout. Both calibers are easily up to the task. I was just thinking today, however, that I might like to get a 45-70 lever gun for pigs.

    You know it's deer season when...

    I was just at the range and a couple of guys in their mid 20's showed up with a rifle, I don't know what caliber.. maybe 308. One of them ran down and placed a coffee can about halfway up the 100 yard berm and then they set up to shoot at it. I was about finished shooting, so just out of...

    Reloading Noob Questions

    All good advice here so far. You definitely want to read through some good manuals and also stickies and posts on this forum. I think my greatest asset when I got started was that I had a couple of very experienced mentors. I was able to learn on their equipment before I started purchasing my...

    .308 Winchester Seating Help...

    Ok, sorry Flea...didn't mean to offend. It's just that your question about brass stretching to 2.240 made me think you weren't familiar with the term ogive, so I figured I'd point that out to you.

    .308 Winchester Seating Help...

    Flea21: Shell-guy is saying 2.240 to the ogive...not a case length of 2.240. You may need to research the term ogive.

    CZ 455 Varmint vs Savage Accu MK2 bull barrel

    I had a CZ455 that was a very sweet shooter with both cheap ammo and high quality ammo. I returned it to CZ because of the recall on the SST trigger and bought an Anschutz 1710DHB. Having had the Anschutz for several weeks now, I can say that the CZ was very close in performance. The Anschutz...

    Priming tool you use?

    I bought the 21st century about a year or so ago and couldn't be happier with it. Priming cases is a breeze with this tool. I can't imagine that I would ever purchase another priming tool after using this one.

    You know it's deer season when...

    I teach shop classes in a high school and last week, a couple of girls (sisters) in my class told me their dad was taking them deer hunting over the weekend. On Monday I asked about their hunt and learned that one of them shot twice and missed so the ranch owner killed the deer for her. The...

    New Sponsor - Bullets.com

    I just placed an order with these guys and was pleasantly surprised to discover that their shipping charges are quite reasonable....$6.95 for orders under $50 and $9.95 for orders over $50. That seems significantly less than shipping on most online orders I place elsewhere.

    Please explain .22 hoarding to me????

    .22LR is certainly harder to find than it once was, but if you put in just a little bit of effort, you'll find it readily available online at reasonable prices. I just sold 4 bricks of 22lr for about half of what I paid for it, just because I wasn't happy with the way those particular brands...

    Are you fricken kidding me!

    Exactly right! That was a "No Reserve" auction and the starting price was 1 cent. I don't see how anyone could fault the seller on this.

    RWS match ammo

    I had a couple of chances to shoot some RWS this weekend. I fired about 40 rounds each of Target Rifle, Special Match and R100. I was shooting off of a bag on the hood of my truck at a 50 yard target with an Anschutz 1710. It was very windy and I had a few fliers that I attribute to wind gusts...

    RWS match ammo

    I haven't tried the match, but I got a brick of Special Match and it does far better than tenex through my Anschutz 1710. I just picked up a brick of RWS target rifle and a brick of r100, but I haven't tried either yet. I'm hoping to get a chance to test both of them this weekend and will report...

    I just dont get it... You would think components would be back in stock by now !

    I've had no trouble at all finding all the Varget and Retumbo I want at normal prices. I even have pretty easy access to most brass, bullets and primers that I need. However, the 168 Amax and Federal Magnum Match primers seem to be non-existent. .22lr is hard to find, but I can get what I need...

    Lead Smelter Closing

    I hope you guys are right about the price going down and no interruption in supply, but the points that ksthomas brings up are concerning. Especially concerning are the quality control issues. I don't want to start getting inferior bullets due to the Chinese being unable to maintain quality. I...

    Post anything that has helped you as a reloader!

    I had a really great mentor who was an avid shooter/reloader and had been reloading for over 40 years. He died a couple of months ago, so I'm on my own now. Also, I gained a lot of knowledge from reading and asking/answering questions on this forum. Mostly, it has been a strong desire to achieve...

    Lead Smelter Closing

    I wasn't sure which forum to post this in, so I chose reloading. I'm just curious to know how you guys think the closing of the lead smelter is going to impact the prices and availability of ammo. I just heard about this today from a friend and he says we should expect a major ammo shortage (as...

    168 a max in a 308 for hog/ deer

    I used 168 Amax on deer for the first time last year. I killed 2 whitetail with them and both dropped dead in their tracks. I will be using them again this year for both deer and hogs and have absolute confidence that they will get the job done.

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting in Germany

    This is my first attempt at posting to a forum from my phone and it's not that easy, so bear with me If my spelling gets weird. I'm finally leaving for Germany in a few hours from now. Every time I talked with anyone over there recently, they tell me of non-stop rains and flooding, so I don't...

    OCW testing FAIL

    That's great news! Perhaps those primers were fouling up your results. I'll be interested to see how that rifle shoots after you get some good primers and brass to work with. I know you think that your stock may be suspect as well. I agree that the stock would be high on my list of things to...
