Re: new to me savage 12fv 223rem 23.6gr of n-140 and 75gr amax with a rem 7 1/2 primer seems like a winner all over the internet with a savage 12fv

Re: new to me savage 12fv 223rem I reload 260, 30-06, .40cal, 22 hornet, 45-70 but never owned a 223 rem, I figured since I have a 22 hornet that I owned for over 15 years that there was no need for any other varment caliber but I soon realized that ppl are shooting deer with a 223rem which...

Re: new to me savage 12fv 223rem So I guess 75gr and below is a good rule to follow.

I just acquired a savage 12fv stagger feed 223 bolt 26in 9twist varmint contour rifle with a Nikon monarch bdc 3-12x42mm scope and Caldwell bi-pod. I am a computer repair and network technician and as payment this is what I got as payment for only about 3 hours worth of work. I am new to the...

Re: 30-06 220gr handload I use my 220grs for boar and 165gr accubonds for deer and have tried the 168gr etip nosler. I am a nosler fan but I am also partial to the swift a-frame. never got the chance to shoot my 30-06 at a deer past 150 but I have taken one at 400 with my 260rem using a...

Re: 30-06 220gr handload Ive shot 165-220 and all done very well and seems to like the 180-220 better.

Re: 30-06 220gr handload I have a savage 110 that enjoys some heavy bullets

Looking for decent 220gr load data, I was thinking 59gr of rl-22 with a cci200 primer would be a good heavy load. what are your thoughts.

Looking at building an ar243 for my wife using a mag pull stock and stripped panther upper and putting a custom 20in barrel on it. Any more sugestions

Re: Hunting rifle setup? considered but also trying not to AK blind thats why i been posting.

Re: Hunting rifle setup? more so thinking of as many questions as i can before i have no internet access for months and so im not learning the hard way.

Re: Hunting rifle setup? Im just getting accurate shooting multiple loads for 30-06 and working up hotter ones at the moment along with going off of what family members said and learning from other various opinions as well. I live in ft benning which the 30-06 is plenty enough for boar and...

Re: Moving to Alaska caliber/rifle selection I would definitely recommend a 300 mag or 338 for those jobs, Im just explaining what my family has used in the past and still currently does. (sorry for the mislead) They do mostly non guided hunts because they have a cabin they use. My uncle uses...

would a 30-06 savage with a custom 26in varmint contour barrel, nikon monarch 2.5-10x42mm scope, accutrigger, boyds ross laminate thumbhole pillar/glass bedded stock make a great hunting rifle for all game because I plan to PCS to alaska.

Re: Whitetail with a 338 lm I was at a range on ft benning and one came across when I was on the gun and well it almost cut the deer in half, it exploded the spine and made a horse shoe with its back. I caught hell from a pl but the co and 1sg laughed and the CO ended up shooting a hog with a...

Re: Whitetail with a 338 lm I did worse when i shot a white tail with an m2 .50bmg at 500yards

Re: Whitetail with a 338 lm A clean hole probably due to the fact that you used a less expanding match bullet that is intended for targets. Think what would have happened if you used a 220+gr nosler balistic tip or partition would do?

Re: one and only one rifle for any north american game Just making sure i chose right cause I went with a savage 30-06 a while ago recently because I have plans to PCS to Alaska, and so far have taken a plethora of hogs and coyotes. My great grand father used 30-06 for large brown bears in...

Re: 2 more hogs down (GRAPHIC!) I shot a 250lb hog at 400 yards with a 30-06 loaded with 208gr a-max. He literately flipped and was dead in his tracks. +1 on the a-max on deer and hog
