    Rifle Scopes How much magnif. power for 100 yard target shootin

    Re: How much magnif. power for 100 yard target shootin It sounds to me like you are just starting out?? If that is the case then I would recommend no scope what so ever. The first thing any good shooter should learn(IMO) is how to shoot open sights to at least 100 yards. I would invest in...

    Rifle Scopes Varmint Scopes for .22-250

    Re: Varmint Scopes for .22-250 I have a safe full of varmint rifles and varmint scopes. Last year I purchased a new Cooper 22-250 and wanted to use the rifle out to 600 yards for ground hogs. Like you I had about $1,000 budgeted for the scope. But I really wanted to try a Night Force...

    Thoughts on a Remington 700 BDL 7mm-08 20yrs old

    Re: Thoughts on a Remington 700 BDL 7mm-08 20yrs old Is it the HB Varminter model?? Or the standard BDL model?? Bottom line is that rifle straight from the factory is pretty tough to beat for out of the box accuracy. It is at the top in it's price range. It is not a custom rifle. But...

    Lefty bolt worth it?

    Re: Lefty bolt worth it? IMO your 22 rifle is the mot important rifle you own. I shoot mine more than any other rifles that I own. I spend more time with my 22 rifles than any other rifles. So IMO your 22 rifle is the wrong rifle to scrimp on. Buy a good high quality left hand bolt action...

    Re: anyone using Black Horn 209 for muzzleloader? I shot it for the first time the other afternoon. I shot it in my Knight LRH. I did have to change my plunger and breech plug in order to shoot it(according to the powder company). I bought the Lehigh conversion. I shot over 25 shots the...

    Ultimate Special Ops Rifle

    Re: Ultimate Special Ops Rifle You guys are probably right. The rifle really isn't a bolt action. So maybe I did put it in the wrong forum. But I really wouldn't call it a Vintage rifle?? I just thought you guys might enjoy something different. Sorry if I offended anyone. Tom.

    Hunting & Fishing 45-70 Cast Hunting Source

    Re: 45-70 Cast Hunting Source If you want to do it right then yes it is necessary. It will probably work out just fine. And many tmies the standard ordered bullet will work perfectly. But it is best to know. And if you are buying bullets that will be sized, then they will ask you what...

    Hunting & Fishing 45-70 Cast Hunting Source

    Re: 45-70 Cast Hunting Source Don't get hung up so much on the hardness of the lead. You can overthink it. What is more important than the hardness is that the bullet be properly sized to your rifle. If you are serious about getting cast bulets to shoot well then you need to slug your...

    Hunting & Fishing NM Elk hunt

    Re: NM Elk hunt The guys have pretty well covered the fact that scent controlled clothing is pretty well worthless in that situation. However clothing is really important out there. IMO layering is the only way to go. It can be below freezing before dawn and 80* by noon. So buy some good...

    Re: Elk hunting suggestions anyone? I have hunted in WY. But WY is a real problem unless you have everything planned way in advance. Their draw system sucks. Tom.

    Hunting & Fishing 45-70 Cast Hunting Source

    Re: 45-70 Cast Hunting Source My main bullet for my 45-70's is a 405 grain cast bullet. However I cast my own. I do not particularly care for a hard cast bullet for deer. IMO WW alloy is more than hard enough for a great bullet. and I get mushrooming out to about 80 or 90 caliber, so that...

    How far will a ricochet go?

    Re: How far will a ricochet go? You guys can come up with all the angles and factors you want to. But the bottom line is no shot is safe unless you are 100% sure of your backdrop. So a richochet of 10 feet is too far if you do not know the background. Back stops are the biggest problem I...

    12ga 3" Buckshot loads

    Re: 12ga 3" Buckshot loads My book shows a Fiochi hull, Fio primer, 30.0 grains of HS-6, VP-65 wad, 1-1/2 oz. load, @1210 fps. Not as hot as the one you listed. But the wad and hull can drastically change that. I just looked through two manuals. One is a Coyote specific manual and the...

    Re: 12ga 3" Buckshot loads I buy all my non-skeet load stuff from a company called Ballistic Products. They are also a great place to deal with. I have all their loading manuals. That is why I asked about the specifics. I would be glad to share the loads with you if you want to give me a...
