There is no substitute for the .375 H&H. With that said, if your heart is set on a .338 bore, consider the .338-378 Weatherby Magnum. I did and it's a fantastic cartridge. Mine is in a Weatherby Accumark. With the excellent Weatherby Accubrake, recoil is actually no worse than any of my .300...

Kimber 8400 Police Tactical .300 Win. Mag. Savage 110 FCP-K .300 Win. Mag. Remington 700 BDL .300 Win. Mag.

Exactly! I didn't know this stuff was out there for the taking.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!

I'm thinking about setting up another long range rig in .300 Win. Mag. I was wondering if there is anyone out there with ballistics software, that could possibly run something for me I've been a bit curious about. Using Sierra data, I can run a 190 grain Sierra Matchking out the muzzle at 3,000...

I shoot quite a bit of AR-15, and just finished loading up these 2,500 cases. I got a really good deal on 5,000 bullets from Wideners. Widener's Reloading and Shooting Supply INC These bullets are some of the best 55 Gr. FMJ bullets I have come across, and are very consistent. My load was...

This is my Savage 12F/TR in .308. The gun shoots fantastic off a bench, with little felt recoil because of the guns weight. The gun favors the Sierra 168 Gr. Matchking and 43.0 Gr. of Varget, but as you can see 180 Gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips and IMR 4064 shoot well also. I think...

One scope I have had excellent luck with is the Bushnell Elite 3200 Tactical 5-15X 40 MM. These are the 2 I have mounted on my other Savage .308's. A Model 12-F/TR, and a Model 10-FP. They are a lot of scope for the money. I feel at this point even though the Bushnell is an excellent scope that...

Will do guys. I'm still kicking around optic options. As I mentioned it's way too hot here to shoot, so I've got time to make a selection. My "dream scope" for this gun is the Leupold Mark IV 16X, 30 MM tube. This scope has an almost unbelievable 140 M.O.A. of elevation adjustment. With the .300...

These are a few quick photos of my new Savage long range thumper. It's the new Model 110 FCP-K Heavy Barrel in .300 Winchester Magnum. I've been wanting to set up a long range .300 Win. Mag. for some time now, and almost went with a Remington 700 Police in that caliber, but then heard about this...

Thanks for the heads up on the Hornady tool. I had completely forgotten about those. Bill T.

Yes, I keep brass separate. At least thus far I have, but they've only been to the range once. I was going to go this weekend, but they are calling for rain so most likely it will have to wait until next week. I want to take a Cerrosafe chamber cast of both rifles and find out what, if any...

This is one of the best things I like about the Burris Signature Rings. You have all but unlimited adjustability without being forced to live with a tapered base. You also can adjust laterally and diagonally as well. Really makes everything less of a headache, and less expensive as well. The...

(CLICK ON THUMBNAILS TO ENLARGE) The range session for both guns went well. I got out early and had the range all to myself. Wind was dead calm. The large "Number 2" was the worst target shot all day. The rest are pretty acceptable. All were fired from a Bald Eagle front and rear rest. The...

Here are some pictures of the Savage 12-F/TR scoped out and ready to go to the range. As you can see I went with the Bushnell 3200 Elite Tactical 5-15X on it as well. I really liked the clarity, quality, and price. The Burris Extreme Steel Tactical Bases show up as a almost gun metal grey color...
