    Hunting & Fishing 45-70 Cast Hunting Source

    I've been trying to find this information for days now and still no luck. I don't and won't be casting my own any time soon so I'm stuck with what I can buy. I'm new to the 45-70 and would very much like to take it white tail hunting with me in November. I already have a jacketed bullet...

    Ejector Marked Brass

    So I was out at the range the other week and make a mistake and left oil in the barrel from short term storage. Luckily nothing serious happened but it was definitely a learning experience. I just slide two clean patches down the barrel and never saw another pressure sign. However, I now have...

    OCW --- why different charge weights in sighters?

    Re: OCW --- why different charge weights in sighters? Also if you have been using a different powder, I have heard that its a good idea to put a few rounds down the barrel with the new powder you will be using. Not really sure if it makes a difference or not but I dont figure it will hurt...

    Rifle Scopes SS 1-4x24 Recoil Limit

    I'm just wondering if anyone knows what recoil the super sniper 1-4x24 Tactical 30mm can withstand a stout load from a 45-70? The other models seem to specifically say they can withstand up to a 50 BMG recoil but these dont say anything concerning the recoil it can withstand. I'd just hate to...

    OCW Method Works!

    Re: OCW Method Works! Trip, thank you for the succinct explaination. I also did not sort brass, prep the brass, or sort/prep bullets. I just took new Lapua brass and my bullets and loaded up. One reason the theory really made sense to me is because I know metal flexes alot more than you...

    OCW Method Works!

    Re: OCW Method Works! Yeah I did quite a bit of research on the ladder method, OCW method as well as the "load up a bunch of different shit and see what works method". I thought the OCW method was the most sound theoretically but didnt really expect it to work. I sure am glad I was wrong...

    OCW Method Works!

    Just thought I would share. I just got done using the OCW method on my new GAP Rock in 308. I worked up two separate loads, one 175 SMK and the other, 168 Barnes TTSX. I am now getting one hole groups with the Barnes and 1/4" groups with the SMK's. I was pretty skeptical of it when I read...

    10-12 months for a GAP rifle

    Re: 10-12 months for a GAP rifle I bought mine from the ready to ship section. They have them in there all the time so I just waited a couple weeks till they had one I liked and it was here in about a week. VERY nice rifle of course and shoots like a dream.

    Give it to me Straight, Is this shooter error?

    Re: Give it to me Straight, Is this shooter error? Did you accidentally mix up the primers? I would hope not but it looks like the results are flip flopped. I agree with Greg, the only way to know for sure is to fire more groups and see what happens.

    Hunting & Fishing 300 Blackout for Hogs?

    Re: 300 Blackout for Hogs? hmmm, thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. Getting back to the original question, will supersonic loads in 300 blackout be enough for a moderately sized hog say 200 to 300 pounds or should I just get an AR-10 in 308? The things I like about the 300 blackout are...
