    .308 or .300 For Hunting Pigs & Deer

    All you need for pigs and deer is a .223 (maybe .243 if state has min cal requirements) My freezer is full of deer harvested with a .223 with a 65gr Sierra GameKing. 24" barreled AR-15. 300yd or less is easy pickins. By Sierras Recomendation the 65gr Gameking carries all the energy you need to...

    Custom rifle suggestions

    Hey guys, I asked for some help a couple weeks ago, now I'm back with another question. Here is the scoop. I have a Rem 700 SA. It was a .308. I had it converted to 300WSM by GA Precision. I had the conversion done to the existing barrel after many many rounds of .308. I basically did it just...

    7mmx300wsm reloading

    No, she's not shot out. Actually she's still a tack driver. The WSM fits fine in a true short action. That's weird that they would due the medium action receiver. Its a fun project, thats the only reason for the inquiry. Also, I was spoiled with the low recoil and accuracy of the .308. The...

    7mmx300wsm reloading

    GA Precision modified my existing bolt. I am pretty happy with this 300WSM it is crazy accurate and with heavy bullets the velocities are nice. 200SMK 2800 not a barrel burner and plenty of juice for long shots. It hits like a sledge hammer at 1500+ > I have never grouped that far but I know I...

    7mmx300wsm reloading

    The neck on a 7WSM is a little shorter, the shoulder is moved up a bit giving the 7WSM a bit more powder room. Not a whole lot of difference but enough to warrant the use of custom dies if you want to use your 300WSM brass necked down to 7mm

    7mmx300wsm reloading

    Thanks for the info. No I don't think it is really worth it This 300 wsm is over kill. I will probably go back to .308 when this barrel burns out. My brother and I could nail anything with our .308's in the mtns of Colorado. If we could see it we could hit it. All this WSM seems to do is eat...

    7mmx300wsm reloading

    I am new here, Hi Guys! I had a question for you. I have Rem 700 5r milspec. It was .308. I had GA Precision re-chamber it for 300wsm. I had been thinking of re barreling it to 7mmx300wsm to take advantage of the high BC bullets. I have a bunch of 300wsm brass. whats the scoop on reloading...
