    Hunting & Fishing 800yd Whitetail Cartridge?

    I'm a 300wsm fan boy. 208gr A-max in the 2850-2900fps would work very well on deer at extended ranges. I shoot the 208 at 2875 in my 300wsm and on a good day its .75-1 moa at 1 mile. I flattened my cow elk last season at 517 yards with my WSM and have no doubt it would be very effective on...

    280 rem dies/280 AI question

    I have had really good luck with Hornady caliber specific neck sizer dies. Along with a Hornady seating die you would be good to go for load development and you could up grade later if you weren't happy. That is exactly what I do with my 25-223 and 6mm AI, so far I have been happy with the...

    325 WSM necked to 300 WSM?

    Shooters Pro Shop is giving free shipping today and they have 325 WSM Nosler brass for $35 per 25. I ordered 50 pieces so I could neck it down for my 300wsm target rifle. I would just buy Norma or Nosler 300wsm brass but they are pretty proud of it. Winchester has worked well for me in the...

    Im looking for a 6.8mm bolt action, any ideas?

    I have a little Ruger 77 Hawkeye in 6.8spc great little rifle. Not a heavy barrel but you could rebarrel it. Ruger and Remington are your only choices for factory 6.8 bolt guns. You could have a Savage bolt face opened up and have a barrel made though.

    Hunting & Fishing Hornady AMAX for hunting?

    I shot my elk last season at 517 yards with a 208gr a-max fired from my 300wsm at a muzzle velocity of 2875fps. I hit high shoulder and knocked her flat, meat damage wasn't terrible, I did loose some but not enough to worry about considering she was the lead cow. I did end up giving her one in...

    Photos Long Range Target Shooting Q's

    Depends if you want to maximize your scoped or if you will be happy stopping at 1200 yards. I like to bottom out or come close to bottoming out my scopes so I have a full range of adjustment and am only limited by my ability and not how much adjustment I have in my scope ........ once you hit...

    I have that scope with a Varmint reticle. Put a 20+ MOA base on your rifle, get some good rings, and a anti cant device and let it rip. I use my 8.5-25x for targets out to (so far) 2100 yards plus some change. If you can bottom out or close to bottom out the scope and have a 100 yard zero you...

    Hunting & Fishing P-dogs with the 6mm AI

    Went out p-dog shooting one night after work this passed week, took my 6mm AI and 222 Rem Mag AI. The 6mm AI was the only rifle to see any action. Loaded with 87gr Hornady HP's moving about 3400fps I killed dogs from 150-800+ yards. I JFK'ed this one at 178 with a cold bore....truck in...

    Rifle Scopes T-36 weaver

    First time I hit 1 mile it was with a T36. Not a bad scope for the money. They are more at home on a bench rest rifle but they do work well for longer range...if you have a spotter because seeing your hits is pretty hard with a straight 36x on any rifle with a little recoil. It held up fine...

    Range Report The .280 sucks . . . ?

    One of my main hunting rifles is a Remington 700 Mountain rifle in 280 Remington. With the 22" factory barrel I am pushing a 160gr Partition to 2820fps with Reloader 17 and producing 3/4" to 1" 3 shot groups at 100 yards, after that the barrel is pretty hot.....it can only get better with a...

    Maggie’s You know you have a bad gunsmith when....

    The smith offers to send you money for replacement parts......2 years ago I sent a smith a contender barrel and a liner to have a 25 acp barrel made, long story short barrel and liner are lost and I get to find new parts.

    Living on my uncles farm we killed all sorts of stuff with 22lrs. cows, pigs, roosters, raccoons, possoms, skunks, squirrels, birds, wood chucks, anything that need to be killed. Most of the shots were close range inside 20 yards, when it was time to slaughter one of the critters they usually...

    Loading .300WM for 1800

    Re: Loading .300WM for 1800 I'm running the 208gr A-max with H4831sc in my 300wsm at about 2870fps. I shoot it at 1750 yards often and I have shot that combo out to 2163 yards on steel with a pretty good hit ratio. Knocked my elk down this passed season at 517 yards with it also. It often...

    Hunting & Fishing Which 6.8 bullet for deer hunting

    Re: Which 6.8 bullet for deer hunting I really like the Hornady 110gr BTHP. It shoots like a match bullet in my 18" and hits like a hunting bullet. I have used 110gr V-max in the passed on deer but dont suggest it, they tend to come apart. I have used 110gr Pro Hunters on antelope with...

    Time of Flight 4.05 seconds.....

    Re: Time of Flight 4.05 seconds..... It does look canted but I think the cant is mostly the way the rifle is in the rest and the fact I was using my cell phone. The rest doesnt open wide enough for my forend at rest so I have to mash it down in there when shooting. I need to pick up a...
