I understand the the BC of a 130gr in a .277 bullet is better than the 130gr in .308, but how close would they compare in the field. If a handloader loaded a 30-06, 130gr with the pressures close to that the .270 is loaded to, how close would the 30-06 mimick the .270? Would the trajectory be...

I have never looked through an 800, but my 1200 doesn't have the problems you have described, must be a problem.

Then think about those old timers who shot some of those bastards with steel buttplates.

I remember a while ago reading a post saying that you don’t need anymore than a 22” barrel on a 30-06. I am reading one of O’Connor’s books right now, and he is talking about ballistics. He states that factory ammo ballistics can’t really be relied on because the manufactures test guns are...

Sorry it took so long to get back on this. Yes like the Moderator said, when I read the post I thought Jeff was backing your point, and didn't think the statements at the end were aimed at you. Thanks for the time on your post.

Great link, thank you.

Remington\'s R3 recoil pad. I am thinking about buying a Remington CDL in either 06 or 7MM. Remington sells their R3 recoil pad as being "designed" by Limbsaver, is that the same as saying Limbsaver is making these recoil pads? Is the R3 pad a recoil pad that Limbsaver sells as an after...

I hear you Jeff. Being the rookie on this board you come to learn real fast who has the paitence, and who is wound a little tight.

I have shot a 30-06, and a 7MM, and to me it seemed the 7MM kicked quit a bit harder. I read an artical that indicated the 7MM kicked just a little harder than an 06. Which would you say is closer to the truth, my experience or the artical? I realize it could have just been the 7mm I was...

What I can add is a few things I found make a difference. The color of the object makes a big difference, and the angle of what you are shooting. Blacks and greys give a lousy reading. I actually couldn't get a reading one day off a black mailbox that was fifty yards away. Shot the white one...

Very good lesson, thank you. Just curious, do some manufactures put heavier stock barrels on their rifles than others? I know I don't want a heavy bull barrel, they are classed by #2 #3, ect?? I have heard that Remington puts a semi heavy barrel on their rifles, a #2? What to you think...

I don't think you can go wrong with a 30-06. Before (or if) you consider a 7mag I would try to shoot one first. I hear a lot of people say they don't kick that much more than the 06, but that isn't the impression I came away with after shooting my friends Rem700 7mag. I thought it kicked...

Thanks for that. To be honest, I kind of had my mind set on Leupold or Zeiss, and had not considered Buriss. What is the reputaion of Buriss scope's, are they considered up and comming, as good as Leupold without the reputation yet? I know the Savorskeys have a hell of a reputation, but...

Would you think the lighter bullet would run out of steam and drop faster within 500 yds or after?
