    Bear firepower.

    If you read the first post by the OP his wife has a medical condition and cannot use something with High Recoil if you are shooting a 12 Gauge slug you might as well grab a 338 win or a 375 H&H at that point they will kick less and do a better job. I have not tried the Brenneke slugs but I have...

    Bear firepower.

    If your wife has an issue with recoil the last thing you would want her to use is a 12 gauge. SHOTGUN RECOIL TABLE Depending on the load and gun weight a 12 gauge can surpass even the largest magnums like a 458 win mag for recoil. I would take a look at a 338 Federal with a good muzzle brake...

    7mm advice

    I have seen the problem you are talking about in various belted magnums. Easy solution is just neck size and not full length size. Another option is have a reamer built to the specs you would like the brass to blow out to and use that to chamber your rifle. If you are going to go to a non belted...

    338 snipetac???

    Yes you can do that. Have the dies made the way you want it and the reamer and you are set. You do not have to improve the case if you do not wish to.

    338 snipetac???

    From what I gather you want a LR rig but do not want to fire form but want something that will reach out there. I would suggest a 338 Edge or 375 Ultra mag. The 350gr SMK's out of the 375 Rum are a beast of a bullet. If you were going to go with a cheytac sized case I would go with the 375 you...

    Match bullets on coyotes

    For the 22 cal I have used the 52 SMK out of a 220 Swift and 223 for years and it works great even on fox which the hide is not as a tough as a coyote . Another good bullet in the 22 cal is the Hornady 50gr SX they shoot great and about 95% of the time do not exit even on fox. For a 6mm I would...

    high power 6mm

    That is a loaded question. I have a 6mm-284 and it does very well. That being said I have heard of guys taking a 7mm mag and necking it to 6mm along with a 270 wsm and necking it to 6mm. Just depends on your expectations of barrel life and what you really want to do with the cartridge...

    375 rum custom build options/ideas??

    I built a 375 Rum with a 10 twist 26 inch barrel. I am running 350 SMK's a little over 2700fps. I have shot it out to 1020 yards and with this combo it is not limited to short range at all. My buddy that lives in Wyoming has taken his 375 rum out to a Mile with the same combo and he is running...

    Why I don't shoulder shoot elk!

    Why not just aim for the off shoulder if you still want to hit bone? As for caliber my buddy's 6.5-06 with 140 Sierra SBT's has taken some large bulls over the years and somewhere taken at 500 or 600 yards. So you do not need a monster magnum and that rifle has 4 bulls that score over 350.  ...

    Weatherby, Browning, or Baretta?

    I disagree with the statement on the accuracy of Tikka's. I to have a FFL and sell both brands along with others. I have yet to find a Tikka that will not shoot 1/2 MOA or less and I have played around with several. The Weatherby Vanguard 2's seem to not be as consistent Accuracy wise as the...
