    Re: Hogs are made of steel! I agree with the above posters on aiming just back of the ear and down a couple of inches. I learned this the hard way after hitting a 200lb+ pig just back of the shoulder quartering to me with a 7mm Rem Mag, 160 Gameking at 80 yards. The pig was rocked when the...

    Picked Up A New Toy Today..SIG 522 Combo

    Re: Picked Up A New Toy Today..SIG 522 Combo More Specs please... * The barrel looks easy to change out, was it? What tools are needed? * What's your scope and rings? When I looked at the way the 522 is put together, it ran across my mind that it looked like barrel swaps would be easy...

    7mm Rem Mag bullets?

    Re: 7mm Rem Mag bullets? I'm kind of old school with the 7mm Mag. I found a good combination using 150gn Nosler Ballistic Tips (or their cousins the 150gn Combined Technology Ballistic Tips), IMR4831 and Fed 215 Magnum Match primers; and I have not changed. The load is accurate at 600 and...

    Reloading 7mm Rem Mag

    Re: Reloading 7mm Rem Mag Moly was all the rage several years ago. It does increase velocities for the same pressure - but it fell out of favor. I am not sure the reason, as I never used moly. I also don't think one is supposed shoot moly and non-moly without doing a thorough cleaning of...
