caliber

I know the 9mm caliber conversion will work with 40S&W but I wonder if it will work with 38spl and .357mag. They are a little bigger than the 40. The 40S&W is .424 and .357mag is .440 width so I expect no but thought I would ask and see if anyone has tried it. But I bet the 40S&W caliber...

Folks, Thinking of getting some type of 6 or 6.5 MM for the wife. I'm looking for something that has low felt recoil, and will be shot at 600 (mostly) and 1,000 yards (sometimes). I'm thinking that a 243 might fit the bill, but a 6.5 might be nicer if (read: when) I need to "borrow" the rifle...

I am looking to build or buy a practice rig to help me get out to 1000+. I currently own a custom 700 in 7mm STW and have about 700-1000 rounds of barrel left before it starts dropping off. I am thinking about a 7mm-08 but i was wondering about barrel life. I just read an attachment that was...

Any thoughts on the .243 Win for a Wyoming antelope/mule deer hunt?

I am wondering what caliber gun to get for range of up to 600yards? I prefer something not .308. Would something like .270, .270 WSM, 300 Win, or .300 WSM do good? I want it in a caliber a little more readily a available also. I plan to be able to reload it. Now for 600 to 1,000 yards I was...

I'm looking to build a 416 caliber bolt rifle and I need some names of highly precise,respectable and accurate actions.

I have a 7mm Mag and a 243AI being built at the moment (the ackley is gonna be a very light predator rifle #3 barrel contour), I am trying to decide on a caliber to do most of my shooting. I really don't like the 308, I have a 243 bolt face that will be used on the build. I had originally...

I have a fn spr action (.308 bolt face) sitting in my closet and for the life of me I can't figure out what caliber I should chamber it in. here is my problem I can't find a niche to fill. I have a fast twist 22-250ai for the 75r amax,243 hunting rifle,260 rem., for 139gr lapuas, and a 300 saum...

I've seen a lot of posts here over the months about "is this too much power for this, or not enough for that?" So let's get it out of our systems shall we? And so when someone asks, we can just refer to this post. So I will state several well known animal types that we would need firepower...

Has anyone have any experience with these bullets? Saw them listed on Black Diamond rifles web site. What is the BC on these. Could they be used in a 375 Rum?? Just looking at some different options to the "CHEYTAC".

Will be getting a remington sportsman 78 (adl) in .223. Do I leave the bolt face alone a build a .223 or .223 AI or open the bolt face and have a .22 or 6 BR or something in a 6.5(grendel, creedmore or 6.5x47 lapua). Mostly varmints (pd's and coyotes) or depending on caliber a short range deer...

in the next few months I'll be getting a new stick for shooting steel and paper at a max of 450 yds for now. will go farther if I find a different place to shoot, or if turtle extends his range. the question is whether to go .260 rem or 6.5 creedmoor??? Hornady is making it easier to reload the...
