    Hunting & Fishing 338 Federal

    Re: 338 Federal I have a Ruger Frontier (16" barrel) in this caliber and it serves as a great 300 yard gun and in. Perfect little blind gun with some good thump. We shoot 225 Hornadys and it delivers the beat-down on deer. If I need to shoot further, I just go with my 300wsm or 270wsm.

    Rifle Scopes "Bubbles" popped up in IOR scope

    Re: "Bubbles" popped up in IOR scope I had an IOR do the same thing and sent it in (with warranty card) and they replaced it. It helps to have the warranty card, but don't know if it is a make or break. Keep us updated.

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith near Austin, TX

    Re: Gunsmith near Austin, TX Not a lot of good options in the immediate Austin area. Hank is probably competent on some jobs, but not friendly and not in a hurry (nor does he care about customer service). Tip Burns in Canyon Lake is top notch.

    Re: West Tx pig hunting at its finest The triple didn't turn out like we would have hoped. As it turns out however, we did find the one pig that broke right and she had two 30 caliber holes in her and her hoof had been blown off (probably by the 25wssm that was the third gun). Fun stuff.

    Hunting & Fishing Trail Cam Pics.Toughest Deer ever

    Re: Trail Cam Pics.Toughest Deer ever I am with Broc on this. The pics are from 2 different dates. On the second day, the fletching is way out in front of the nose... on the first day it does not extend beyond the nose. Perhaps it moved a bit, but it is suspect.

    New Build

    Re: New Build I have a 300wsm on the long action --- enables longer seating and higher velocities with the 208 AMAX. Comes real close to 3000fps and very close to the 7wsm ballistics. Go for it.

    Photos Big stinky

    Re: Big stinky Shocking in that it shoots like the GAP and other custom guns that we shoot. It shoots lights out consistently. At 500 it is consistent clovers. We don't measure groups a lot because I think that is silly, but on an eight inch piece of steel it consistently smashes. I shoot to...

    Re: Big stinky Response to Q on the 270wms: I have a 300 wsm and 270 wsm (270 a blind gun and the other a big 300 heavy custom Clay Spencer I bought off CANAVAR here on the hide). The 270wsm tikka shoots really flat to 400 and is a slayer. It does amazingly well out to 800 on steel and has...

    Photos Big stinky

    Re: Big stinky For his size his tusks were pretty small. They were there, but not sticking out much. We watched him for 3 days after that and no yotes would touch him. Guess they don't like the stink either.

    Re: Big stinky He looks like he got run over because we tripple tapped him. Three shooters... one, two, three... one ear shot and two body shots. One 270 and 2 308s. It was hilarious. I am the shooter in the picture. We're in West Texas where there's good elevation changes... hunting from 300...

    300 WSM Questions

    Re: 300 WSM Questions I have a 300 WSM LA in an HS Precision Stock and shoot 208 AMAX bullets at apprx. 2900 FPS. It shoots lights out. Certainly understand those saying why not just got with the 300 Win Mag if going LA, but I sure am happy with mine.

    Suppressors Suppressed .300WinMag

    Re: Suppressed .300WinMag Shoot a suppressed 300 WSM and agree with you on the recoil reducing effect and noise reduction. Don't have to wear hearing protection. How do you like the Sandstorm?
