    Large Rifle primer usage instead of 209 shotgun primer

    $100/lb would be a steal. Just saw it last week for $80/8oz ($160/lb). A guy at work bought some and loves it.

    Suppressor on mountain rifle

    Depending on the rifle, I do get some POI shift with and without. It’s not huge, but enough that I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking a 400 yard shot on a critter un-suppressed when the rifle was sighted in suppressed. Every rifle is different and every rifle/suppressor combo is different. I do...

    Case trimming machine which is the best for the $ ?

    I’ve used a handful of different trimmers over the years. Started on an RCBS manual lathe style trimmer. Still have 2 of these set-up for low volume shooting. They work well and stay consistent. I finish up the chamfer and deburring on an RCBS motorized station. I tried the Lee system...

    Ruger SFAR 308 first impressions

    I've been kicking around selling my G2 and grabbing one of these. My G2 has done a heck of a job taking deer and has been a joy to carry and use. I like he Ruger for commonality (and the fact that parts should be readily available).

    Mountain rifle

    I’ve harvested quite a bit of game with a 338 WM and I feel my 280 does just as much damage. Pick the right bullet and the whole “overkill” bs goes out the window. Put a bullet where there’s meat and you’ll lose meat. Doesn’t matter if it’s a 243 or a large magnum.

    SOLD/EXPIRED Remington 700 Sendero Stock

    I'll take it if first buyer backs out

    Loading big calibers for smaller game

    Stick with a controlled expansion bullet and you'll be fine. Bonded, mono, something premium. I wouldn't even worry about dropping down in bullet weight either. I can honestly say that my 338 WM shooting Accubonds does less damage than my 308 shooting SST's (on deer). Controlled expansion...

    New to Group, got a .308 question

    If you're not shooting far, then throw the BC out the window, it won't come into play. I have a 16" suppressed 308 that I use quite a bit for hunting. I started out with the 178's and 180's. I slowly started dropping weight to pick up velocity until I got down to the 150's. Maybe it's just...

    22 cal 77gr sierra matchking for deer?

    I have killed deer with everything from 223 up to 338 WM and a handful with 50 & 54 cal Muzzleloaders. Put the bullet where it needs to go and they'll die. I will say the larger/higher energy calibers do give a larger room for error. As far as deer running after the shot, unless you're taking...

    Primers

    I hope you're right. I'm sitting fine on SRP, but my large rifle and large pistol are getting pretty slim. Kind of cringing at thought of having to pay the ridiculous prices they are currently going for.

    18-20" 300 RUM: change my mind..

    AMEN!!! I read that all the time about running "Fast" powders in a short barrel. Those same people stating that don't have a clue about powder burn rates and how long it actually takes powder to actually burn from a solid state to a gas. Whatever powder gives you the best velocity in say a...

    Suppressor Point of Impact Change: Any Fixes???

    Honestly, every one of my guns shoot better with a suppressor vs without and everyone I personally know that run suppressors say the same thing. Is it the same suppressor?

    9mm side arm

    9mm is a great side arm, for 2 legged critters. If I'm out checking bear baits or just feel the need to carry when off the beaten path, my XDm 10mm comes with.

    Aluminum or steel base / rings for .300 Win Mag

    I have a set of Talley's that have been holding down a 50mm scope (30mm tube) on an 8lb 338 WM for over a decade without a loss in zero over many hundreds of rounds.

    22.250

    Bullet WILL be lodged somewhere in the barrel. Probably 20 years ago I was shooting my 22-250 and my last shot didn't really recoil and obviously sounded different. Inspected the cartridge and didn't notice any soot around the case mouth. So I pulled the bolt and looked down the barrel. The...
