    Lower recoil 308 load

    All very good info. I have some Barnes 120 Gr Tac TX and H322, so that might be a good starting point. XXL has load data. Tried my suppressor earlier today and recoil was down but POI shifted way off the target at 50 yds. Guess I could get a bigger target and shoot for group to see if worth...

    Lower recoil 308 load

    I have an older Ruger 308 Gunsite Scout that has served me well and is a favorite just because... Would like to find a kinder gentler load for my aging shoulders. Rifle will be used out to 200 yds for whitetail and hogs. Would like to get 1-1.5 MOA accuracy if possible, but that will depend...

    Going down a 22 rabbit hole…

    I recently purchased a Savage B-22 and the target shows the out-of-box accuracy on 2nd trip to range with it. Using Eley ammo from Bud's, who usually has good stock and price. I expect the rifle, scope, and ammo are much more capable than I am; so won't do me much good to invest more. Just...

    What rear rest is everyone using for load development and in the field? Thoughts on Protektor, Hunters Wedge, etc?

    Please send pics of wife with neoprene lens bag stuffed down her panty hose leg. No NSFW please. You are blessed with a truly loving wife; mine would never agree to that set-up. And how does she handle cold weather hunts wearing panty hose? So many questions about how this works in the field.

    Where does .308 Winchester excel?

    Where does it excel? Winning the "if I only have one rifle" contest, year-in and year-out by a large margin.

    Form 1- Build your own suppressor

    The JK Armament MST kit was a good tradeoff for me. Kit and drill jig for about $600, received it in two weeks, and drilled 8 holes once the Form 1 received. Drill jig screws on each section and is rock solid and dead on for each hole, even for someone like me whose metalworking skills top out...

    EER / handgun scopes

    Not sure if this is the appropriate way to post but I have a Nikon Force 2.5-8x28 EER scope looking for a good home. Used briefly on a scout rifle.
