    .223 Remington semiauto rifles that don't look like ARs

    The Mini 14 is probably your best choice or the Kel Tec SU 16. The other Semi Auto rifles look more Military type then the AR 15 does. You could step up to the .243 or .308 and have lots more semi auto Non AR type rifles like the Browning Bar.

    Which .25?

    I like the 25.06 and 257 Weatherby. .270 Like Performance with milder recoil. They are dynamite on Whitetails all the way out to 500-600 yards. And you're more likely to find ammo on the shelves at local stores.

    129 grain SST in Man Bun

    The SST is a good bullet, but it will make a mess with a shoulder shot. I prefer neck/high shoulder shots. I use them in my 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 Creedmoor and .308.

    25-06 vs 257 wby

    Id love to have the 257 Weatherby Mag, but I have an older Savage Model 110 25.06. It doesn't shoot well with heavier bullets, but it is a laser beam with Federal 100 gr BST's and is an absolute Deer Slaying Machine.

    For all you 30-06 owners, what bullet are you using?

    I like and use the Hornady 165 gr SST.

    First experience with match type bullet on game

    I used 168 gr Match King on a large 190 lb Georgia 8 point and the exit wound was so small i couldnt tell where it was until I skinned him. But he was DRT with liquified heart shot, just like yours. With that said I would refrain from using Match King Ammo for hunting as a general rule. It...

    What Is The Best Hunting Cartridge To 500 yds.

    I've done it with the Grendel with the Hornady 123 gr SST. It's a bad little round.

    Got a new rifle, sending it back to the factory

    I have the Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. I cannot speak to the feeding issues youre having because my model uses a standard Ruger mag. However I can speak to the accuracy problems. One of the issues it has is the cheap stock, specifically the forearm of the stock. When I recieved...

    6.5 bullets on game

    My Ruger Predator 6.5 Creedmoor likes the 143 gr ELDX and my Savage 11 6.5 Creedmoor likes the 120 gr GMX. Both are deadly Whitetail rounds and both are very accurate to 400 yards +.

    If you could only have 3 long guns, which would you choose?

    An AR15 in 6.5 Grendel, AR10 in .308 and a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt action.

    WHAT CALIBER???

    I have the 300 Weatherby mag and the ammo is very expensive. If I could do it all over again I'd choose the 300 Win mag. You don't lose much performance and the ammo is less expensive.

    What is your best deer rifle

    6.5 Grendel with 20" barrel, Geissle trigger & 6-18-40 Nikon Buckmaster bdc. But I just bought a Savage 6.5 Creedmoor that is my 2016 season rifle. With Hornady 120 GMX's this thing is a laserbeam. I'm expecting great things from this rifle.gun)

    6.5 Grendel

    I'm a little late to the conversation but I've taken Whitetails out to 425 yards with the Hornady 123 gr Amax and once with the 123 gr SST. I have the 6.5 Grendel in a J&T 20" Bull barrel upper which is an absolute tack driver and I also have a Radical Arms 16" which is about a 1-1 1/4 moa...
