    Minimizing Damage to Coyotes With 300 RUM

    For what it is worth I whacked a coyote right from my house with a .300 Winchester pushing 200 grain Accubonds @ 2990, shot was right at 500 yards and it put a nice 1" hole right through it. Sure was pretty to watch that bullet hit through the scope!

    Holland Brake-Is This Right?

    308 Nate-Would you be interested in correcting this for me? I took the gun back to the gunsmith right away and he told me not to worry about and that it was as close as he could get it. I have no hope that he will correct for me. I know it probably won't affect anything but to me it is a...

    What Muzzle Brake to Put on 300WM Sendero?

    I thought it was a little high too, but when you live in the middle of North Dakota you kinda have to take what you get. By the way he is charging me $45 to bead blast everything.

    What Muzzle Brake to Put on 300WM Sendero?

    Went with Holland Just a update....I found a local gunsmith that was able to get me a Holland brake. For a stainless brake it was $106+$100 for installation. I probably could have found someone to do this for cheaper but it is really nice to drop the gun off in person verses having to ship...
