Where there are cows there will soon be bulls

Thank you for the offer and I may take you up on both. At this time though I really don't have the space, time or money to invest in it like I really want to do. I have quite a lot of Cor-Bon Match 139gr Scenar rounds for target shooting that came loaded in Lapua brass. My plan is once I go...

So after deciding to use the HSM ammo loaded with Berger 140gr VLDH bullets, it looks like HSM is having supply issues and has indefinitely suspended production of the ammo. I really want to use the Berger 140gr VLDH bullet so I had to figure out another way to get this bullet in a round without...

Curt, I responded to your PM. Thanks. My recoil tolerance is pretty good. I shoot a 50 BMG offhand, .45-70 lever action with 405gr Grizzly loads, and 12ga slugs from my semi-auto...

Thanks guys for the comments so far. I will be using my Swarovski range finder so I should be able to come up with the proper range. I just didn't know if the 2000 ft.lbs of energy (achieved with all the loads at 500 yards) would be enough for all the game animals I plan on hunting. Agreed that...

Guys, I need some help picking out the caliber of a new hunting rifle. I think I've narrowed it down to either .300 Win Mag or .30-06 and need your help persuading me one way or the other. First I'll give a little background and planned use: - I will be doing all my hunting between 9,000 and...

I think you're right with the Safety Harbor. I have a 22" barreled upper on a lower that I built and the whole thing comes in at around 18lbs with scope. As for recoil, my Marlin 1895 lever action in .45-70 or 12 ga slug gun kick way worse. However, the concussion is what does you in for...

That's great!

Very interesting! Thanks for your work on this.

Pretty good article, I enjoyed it.

I knew I had to get a better solution than a 5 round mag poking me in the side this hunting season...

I just gave this a try and it really didn't work. I had to load rounds halfway into the chamber and then back them into the magazine with tricky fingers. I then tried the same thing with the AICS and it was the same method. So no improvement there.

Glad this thread could help. The best place I actually found to buy them at is Cheaper Than Dirt. Came to only $34 shipped for one.

Paul, here's a quick picture of each setup. This rifle is running a bolt fluted by you as well. Working perfect!

I hunt elk with a .260 Remington at around 10,000ft elevation. At this altitude you get the following with factory loaded ammo: And here's a .30-06 for comparison (same elevation):

According to my calipers the max COAL for the Ruger GSR mag is 2.860"

Hey everyone! After a recent hunting trip I decided to knock some weight (and size) off my custom .260 Rem chambered rifle and one of the areas I identified was the magazine. I was having a little trouble getting my rifle to fit in the scabbard in my pack due to it hanging up on the 5 round AICS...

I was able to get out this morning and do a sort of practice run for a hunting scenario: - I set up a target out far - Walked back until it was out of sight - Then with my pack on and carrying my gun I came out of the treeline - Put the pack on the ground and put the rifle on top - I...

BigCheese, I had very similar requirements to you and ended up building my rifle into the following: - Remington 700 SA RH blueprinted/trued by SWP - Krieger SS cut rifled barrel, 22” finished length, Heavy Palma contour, 1:9 twist, target crown (twist rate chosen due to my extreme...
