Add to the list 308 running 174 HH at 2880fps running a MOA of .378" I'm heading in June for plains game. Good Luck!!

I just finished building 2 different 308 rifles. One loves the Barnes 137grn TTSX running at 3125fps. great deer and hog round. The other is running Hammer Hunters 174grn at 2945fps. Dropped a bear last month without a problem. Funny I have built and worked with many different rounds and settled...

I just got back last night from my hunt. My wife and I went to Eland Safari www.elandsafaris.co.za Johnny and Alex have been running hunts since 2006 and have roughly 12,000 acres to hunt. We did plans game and took everything we wanted. From start to finish they had all the bases covered...

I just had an issue with my VX-6HD scope. it got knocked around too much on the airlines. Anyway Leupold service was great. I sent my scope back on Dec 12th and had it back by Jan 10th. They repaired my scope and gave me a complete service/repair sheet. I've run it through the mill and it is...

I'm running almost the same load out of my 28. shooting consistent .25" groups very accurate at 1000 yards. great load an bullet combo for a 28 BUT don't hunt with the Berger. I had 2 very bad experiences with that bullet. One blew up on a neck shot at 100 yards on a mule deer and another on...

What's the price complete? scope rings everything?

Ok so I wasn't going to jump in on this but I've had 2 years of BAD experiences with the180 Berger VLD Hunter. Granted its out of a 28 Nosler running at 3082fps MV (some would say that's too fast for that bullet). Last season I shot a Mule deer buck at 90 yards. He was quartered away and I hit...

My daughter is is about the same size. I just got her a Savage Storm with the adjustable stock and comb it was easy to fit the rifle to her. It's a 6.5 and she shoots it great. I would and should have done a 243 instead.

I've hunted and killed many elk and mule deer with my 270, I'm a big fan. I use the Nosler Custom 140grn Accubonds, never more than one shot out to 550 yards on elk. moving at 3000fps.

I've used my custom 270 for years on deer and elk, love the round and gun. I've killed 8 bulls to 510 yards and cant count the deer to 500 yards. I don't reload so bought every factory round I could find to test. Settled on the Nosler Custom 140grn Accubond running at 3000fps, 26" barrel its sub...

I had the same issue with my wife. She is 5'2" and has little upper body strength. Both rifle weight, recoil and length were issues for her. I start her out with a Sako 260 Remington at 6#. Shooting 140grn Federal bullets its a sub moa gun out of the box. She killed several deer and a 6 point...

OK I can get 4700 with a 55grn Nosler Varmageddon out of my 243. flat to 300 yards Yote crusher. Not sure how long the barrel will last.

I just got back from a hunt in Colorado and had this happen to me. Mule deer at 100 yards. 28 Nosler 180Grn Berger VLD Hunting MV 3082. The deer was quartered away from me. I hit it at the point of the shoulder and the bullet blew up on impact. Wound was no more than 2" deep and roughly 4"...

I'm going Antelope hunting this fall and am using my 6 Creed. I'm looking at either the 103grn eldx or 105grn berger elite hunter (both factory loads). Has anyone used either on game? what's the penetration and knockdown of either. both shoot sub moa out of my rifle so that's not the issue. thanks
