    What gun would you want if the SHTF?

    Any ol .22 would be fine for me. Could always trade up from there depending on who I ran into along the way and what they had stockpiled before the shtf. Of course Id probably just switch to cannibalism too to keep it simple. :D Dont flame me I didnt start this thread LOL.

    Lets Talk Primers

    I used to use cci primers for everything. Then the day after the last presidential election I happened to be in the local Sportsmans Warehouse and saw the reloading component section being emptied I grabbed 2 cases each of Federal Match 210 and 215 primers. So thats what Ill be using for a while.

    Hybrid 100V?

    Anyone try Hybrid 100V in the 300 win mag with 180's? I started with H4350 and while I have found before in the 300 win mag H4350 does fine even with 180's I was looking again to use H4831sc but recently read about the Hybrid 100V. I use H4831sc for 200 grainers in the 300 win mag. It'll do...

    Sharps Rifle.....1500 yard kill?

    That video is sweet....thanks for sharing. I always wondered how it was even possible to shoot that far cause the front bead would cover many feet, but the front is an open cirle. That is awesome.

    Good ol 30-06

    Sweet replies. Interesting thing is I do have a box of the 178 A-Max bullets. I was kinda leary about how the A-Max would work on game though.

    300 Win Mag

    Have you shot your rifle at different distances? Saying you only get 1" at 100 yards certainly doesnt mean a whole lot. If you plan on shooting at 500 yards and you get good groups there would mean much more. Also what kind of scope are you using? Could be a scope upgrade would do more than a...

    Good ol 30-06

    I would like some suggestions for the 30-06 at 500-600 yards. Game would be deer or antelope. I have a pile of 180 e-tips for my 300 win mag and was thinking maybe a lighter weight bullet for the 30-06. Only thing is I think the heavier bullets will actually outdistance the lighter ones once you...

    Sharps Rifle.....1500 yard kill?

    Mythbusters would shoot the ground 100 feet in front of them and say its not possible. Needless to say I take any mythbusters info with a pound of salt. Reason is the one show I saw and they couldnt shoot a 9mm into a 38 special cylinder from the front. They concluded it is simply not possible...

    Alaska to Montana

    Lived in Alaska 24 years and had a great time. But the salmon have gotten way smaller and scarce where I fished. Plus my oldest is ready to hunt soon and my wife wants to hunt as well and I know it will be easier to get them into game here than AK. Moved to Great Falls. I wanted to move to...

    Alaska to Montana

    Hi all. I moved to Montana from Alaska in May and am a frequent visitor to a couple other shooting sites (RMiller on a couple). Primarily what brought me to this site is wanting to learn a bit more about long distance hunting. There is definately a place for that here in Montana. Most of my...

    Any use a 6.5-300 winchester mag?

    I have a savage guide model in 375 H-H I have been thinking of switch barreling. I saw on a savage replacement barrel chamber list had the 6.5-300 win mag. Keeping the same contour as the 375 with a 28" barrel seems like it would make a good long rangeshooter.
