    Big game all-rounder

    My first big game was taken with a 45-70 in Alaska. But a 30-06 has been my all goto for over twenty five years. Last year I bumped up to a 7mm RM to include range out to 700 yards for elk. But a recent shoulder injury has me buying a Howa Superlite in 7-08 for my new all around rifle. I think...

    7mm Rem Mag vs. 30-06 recoil

    BTW my late buddy killed a lot of elk here in Eastern Oregon. He had a myriad of rifles, including the appropriate magnums to take elk. Being a big guy and not recoil sensitive he could of used any of them. But more often than not he'd reach for a lightweight 308 Win with 165gr Partitions. He...

    7mm Rem Mag vs. 30-06 recoil

    I have both, but in completely different rifles and stock designs. My 7mm Rem mag is a Remington ADL 26" 1-8" twist in a KRG Bravo stock. The 30-06 is a Win M70 FWT 22" in a McMillan stock. Shooting 180 gr weight bullets the 7mm RM (10lbs) at 2800 fps still feel like more recoil than my 30-06...

    looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

    My brother hunted with Winchester Model 70's of various cartridge for pig up through elk. And he was happy with his rifles. but to standardize he switched all to Tikka T3's. They have wooden stock versions of Tikka's (Hunter). I didn't see a 300 wsm cartridge in hte line up but they had ones in...

    Remington 9 1/2 LR Primer Trouble for 22-250

    I've seated them with the RCBS handheld primer seater. However on some brass it was so tight that I primer pocket uniformed the brass and that helped. Edit: I forgot I posted to this thread before. Add forgetfulness to grumpiness lol.

    Hunting Rifle: 7mm Rem Mag or 7mm SAUM?

    I bought a 7mm RM as my long range elk rifle last year. Mainly due to good brass availability. The belt is of no consequence to me as I'll bump the shoulder 0.002" when sizing brass. I loaded the last of my RL22 for fire forming and got just over quarter moa with 180 ELDMs at 2820 fps. Slow but...

    Help, my 5.56 reloads suck

    Here's my targets, the paper is at 100 yards, the steel is at 550 yards. Just a standard 20" AR I assembled with a Colt lightweight 1-7" barrel. Winchester brass, TAC, and WSR primers. The 53gr VMAX's group better. I'd try it with all the same brass. If it doesn't group better then try a...

    Help, my 5.56 reloads suck

    I've had good results with TAC. But you have to be careful with it during the summer months as the pressures can spike. My guess is the mixed brass and the bullets could be the issue. If you are going to stick with the brass you have trim all of it to the same length.

    5.56 75 ELD-M - 2.26 COAL???

    I've been using the modified stainless mags with a COAL of around 2.360". Or at least that's the COAL of the top of my head. It works in my Bushmaster lower due to the factory relief channel down the middle of the magwell.

    Here's a good thread on getting more COAL out of an AR15. All of it's pretty good but take special notice of post#15. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/longest-internal-length-ar-mags.6905874/

    Mental Health/ Resetting

    The first is in Eastern Oregon. The lake is Elk Lake and the last is off China Hat road near Bend. But you have to be careful of China Hat rd, I carried two firearms back then when I went out there. It's far worse now.
