"Hole size" doesn't equal stopping power, I've firsthand seen plenty of game run a long ways with gaping holes in them. There's a really good sticky thread on this. All the energy that the 300wm produces doesn't do you any good if the majority of it simply passes through your target and...
I'd be really careful with an adjustable wrench; they tend to have a lil "give" to them. If that nut is on there really tight and you have start using some force it will be really easy to slip and round the nut. Not to mention what you'll do to your knuckles
Rab, it should be as simple as getting the right sized wrench and twisting it off. A padded vises would definitely be handy. Those rifles come with thread protectors right? You not going to want to run without anything protecting those threads
Im still waiting for one of these geniuses to suggest using a 45-70 again. The problem is these people want a one size fits all round that fits in an AR15... and they don't want to spend a lot doing it. I have a hard time seeing anything happen til after ww3 hits.
I don't see any real advantage to running a 300wm over the majority of non magnum cartridges at 40 yards for medium sized game. In my state we have a lottery system that takes darn near a decade to get and so I haven't had the chance yet but my uncle has taken plenty over the years with a...
DID YOU JUST ASSUME YOUR RIFLE'S GENDER??? Jk but have you tried letting another competent person shoot it? If they keep getting the same results it's probably the rifle
I couldnt agree more. I'm pretty sure the majority of AR owners I know all run cheap to decent rifles that are mostly mil spec, over gassed as hell and shoot around 1.5 moa; and everyone of them is happier than a pig in slop with that because it does everything they need it too
Henry is making some pretty cool 45-70's these days. I can't tell for sure what kind of accuracy to expect but from what I've seen out of their big boy rifles I'd say 200 yards is not out the question
He's lucky someone with a CCW didn't hesitate. I could not even begin to imagine myself going out and doing the armed robbery thing knowing full well someone with a CCW could ambush me and that would be it. If only it didn't end that way more often
