    223-Velocity vs. Barrel Length-Powder Choice

    Re: 223-Velocity vs. Barrel Length-Powder Choice Another thought is to pick up a couple of reloading manuals and look at the Pistol Section for the 223 loadings and make sure that the velocity is out of a 14 or 15" barrel. That will tell you real fast what powders really do look good. IHMSA...

    Rifle Scopes Back from the SHOT Show

    Re: Back from the SHOT Show But, if the scope has SWAT on it.... That makes it worth more ... Right? Sure it does, for swatting flies with! Though a fly swatter from the dollar store is still more useful Good Shooting, Gary

    home grown projectiles

    Re: home grown projectiles What about adding in some super glue to your bird shot? And perhaps a "center post" kinda like a ballistic tip that goes all the way down. Gary

    Gunsmithing 300wm on standard Savage LA?

    Hello Hide, It is time to rebarrel my Savage 111. At the moment it still has a .473 bolt face head. I can order a .532 head for around $55. My measured mag length is about 3.39" absolute max. I am thinking about a 300 win mag. I would like to shoot the 210gr bullets. My question is, will the...

    Gunsmithing Dave Kiff Needs Advice

    Re: Dave Kiff Needs Advice @bryan, I think the bullet die question is one of severe logistics. Everybody has a pet bullet they want. I think I may be one of the few who has relatively simple needs: something like a 210gr SMK in .308. Note I said LIKE I bet the actual SMK itself would be a...

    Rifle Scopes March 1-10

    Re: March 1-10 Looks more like a Bump... of course he left out Bump Oddly enough, 1-10 for me is a lot less interesting. I want FFP, and I want, on the lowest power to be Really Able To SEE/USE that reticle as well. I can only imagine what a reticle that looks good at 10x would look like at...

    Rifle Scopes Fixed power for out to 1250yrds

    Re: Fixed power for out to 1250yrds Thanks, I was thinking and leaning towards something between 10x and 17x actually. I 100% agree that the best resolution you can afford makes a huge difference! This will be a field rifle, but a longer range one to be sure. Short range "Fast" shots would...

    Rifle Scopes Fixed power for out to 1250yrds

    Topic say it. For 1 gal milk jugs at about 800 to 1250 or so what fixed power would you consider? I will be rebarreling my savage fairly soon to 300 win mag. Using the 210smk or 208 Amax, win brass, win lrm primers, and H1000. Tube probably will be 26" Krieger AMU with 10flute. They actually...

    Rifle Scopes A word on Vortex Razor HD pricing...and PMs

    Re: A word on Vortex Razor HD pricing...and PMs @Scott, In the coming year I will be building a 250-3000 walking hunter. I will be needing some glass, and had been on your site looking at the 2x7-35 Diamondback. For what I have in mind that little scopes features look just about perfect. I...

    Gunsmithing Ruger action worth it?

    Re: Ruger action worth it? @Mica, Keep the Ruger. For a hunting weapon the CRF mauser claw is a real plus. The stock trigger might even be able to be retained, have your smith look at it. I have a friend with a couple Ruger's and both shoot between .75 and 1 moa with hand loads. That's with...

    Hodgdon/IMR 8208 XBR...a tad slower than 4895

    Re: Hodgdon/IMR 8208 XBR...a tad slower than 4895 when you think about it, temp stable from neg. 40f up to pos. 165f alone is moderately awesome. Even *IF* you give up a few FPS, just knowing for Sure that your load has not radically changed due to temp / humidity makes this a wonder powder...

    Rifle Scopes BSA vs Sightmark vs Tasco

    Re: BSA vs Sightmark vs Tasco rigg51, One thing I have not seen anyone mention is Clarity. A few years ago I was in the same boat as you. I had only ever seen cheap optic's and I had no idea what a difference clarity / resolution could make. I used to think "man i really need more more more...

    Resized LC 308 to 6.5 CM

    Re: Resized LC 308 to 6.5 CM Actually gentlemen, if you look closely at the 300 Savage you will see where the inspiration for the 30TC came from. Look to the 300 Savage Gary P.S. That being said the 308 forms quite nicely into 6.5 CM.

    Rifle Scopes $100 budget

    Re: $100 budget A friend has a cheap Tasco 3x9 mil-dot on his 338 win mag. He reloads, and so far I have personally witnessed over 250 full power hunting type rounds go down range. The scope can still hammer the 600 yard gong every time. With his good loads that is. I know some of you hate...

    Rifle Scopes interm scope

    Re: interm scope +1 on the 10x SS without side adjust. Really tough scope. The only potential downside is the minimum 10x setting, you said hog so I do not know how fast you have to come on target. Then again fixed 10 vs. 6-24 I bet would be reasonably close FOV wise. From a Tough as nails...
