    300 Win Mag switching brass brand

    That is correct 78.0 is the listed max. Both of you are on the same mind track as I am as far as backing off and working back up with a component change. As far as the primer question, I do not typically shoot in sub zero temps and I have alot of the said primers on hand. In the current market...

    300 Win Mag switching brass brand

    I just picked up my Savage HS 300 win mag a few weeks ago. The rifle has shot MOA with every load I have ran and was showing a real preference for H4831SC until I tried another attempt with H1000. It shot a .3 @100 for five shots with: 77.0 H1000 Hornady 208 HPBT 3.485 oal GM210M Rem brass...

    AAC-SD issues... Upgrade or sell it and start over?

    Sold the Hogue stock when I purchased mine, literally. All I carried out of the store was the barreled action. A fellow wanted it I sold it! I went home dropped it in my 5R takeoff and first load I tried shot .5 at a 100 and my 11 yr old son was calling shots at 700 yards with the rifle. 42.0...

    Powder Cheat Sheet

    Varget was always my go to powder for .308 until a custom ammo maker turned me on to using AR Comp. I keep some Varget on hand since it is so versatile but the AR Comp is my .308 powder now. I know this does not answer your question but most .308 shooters do use Varget for a good reason. 4895...

    Here is one more contribution to the thread. We had a awesome day afield this evening. First my son made a perfect 537 yard shot on a big doe. Next up my brother first time ever behind a long range rig made a 557 yard shot on the doe that was traveling with my sons doe, DRT! Now he says he is...

    winter shooting gloves

    What I have found to work best for me is a pair of under armor thin gloves with a wool shooters mitten over. My mittens allow the fingers to be exposed by folding back the end. I can shoot if I need to quickly or remove the mitten if time allows to set up for the shot and still have protection...

    Maggie’s Memories of Carlos Hathcock

    I had the privilege to hold the door for him at a service station near VA Beach. I didn't know who the gentleman was until we passed and the fellow at the cash register asked me if I knew who I had held the door for. He told me that was Carlos Hathcock. Though we never really spoke, "thank you...

    FCP HS .300WM whos shooting one?

    Looking at a Savage hs precision FCP in 300 win mag. For those shooting one give me your thoughts. I also get conflicting info as to whether or not the .300 model has a AI style mag or is that just the Lapua model? I have been bitten by the new stick bug and seeking reviews of this rifle.

    300 blk 16.5" 1:8 rock best bullet for hunting?

    Most were high shoulder mass, and of course head shots. The sub load does lack teminal effects of hyperstatic shock so follow up shots most often required or a suppresed rimfire to finish. Thr OSB did anchor the majority where they stood. Great bullet but unless there is a legitimate need for...

    300 blk 16.5" 1:8 rock best bullet for hunting?

    +1 on Outlaw State Bullets, expensive but work great. Over 60 whitetails on kill permits last year taken with the OSB. All sub loads, with max engagement of 75 yards. Most taken less than 50.
