    cauterucio bullets

    I just recently discovered cauterucio bullets and was wondering what your thoughts are on them? Specifically the 177 gr. 7mm. My wife bought me Brian litz's "applied ballistics for long range shooting" and he tested some with good form factor and b.c. results. I'm thinking about trying some...

    Choate tactical vs. Hogue

    Getting ready to order a new stock for my Savage 110 7mm rem mag. My budget wont allow for a McMillan or anything like that. I found a Choate tactical for $199, and a Hogue overmold for $213. Both are full bed block and channeled for heavy barrel. Here are the links: Choate Tactical Savage...

    Please help me choose a barrel

    Well, I ordered it today. I went with a Benchmark stainless 27" standard palma contour, 5r rifling, 1:8.5 twist. It was $295. They helped me find one in stock at 3rd generation shooting supply, so I wouldn't have to wait. They were still 4 months out for chambering and threading, so they...

    Please help me choose a barrel

    crazyhorse, I'm glad you said that. I was seriously thinking about going with Benchmark for a few reasons, first their growing reputation, and they were extremely helpful and very nice on the phone, taking the time to explain things to me. Also their wait time is not as ridiculous as other...

    Please help me choose a barrel

    Please help me choose a barrel

    My wife wants to buy me a barrel for my birthday but I'm having trouble choosing one. I have a Savage 7mm rem mag action and this will be a hunting rifle. I have decided to go with a stainless barrel around 26 to 28 inches long. I'm looking at several top barrel manufacturers. I need help...

    Berger 230 OTM Tactical Bullet

    Just out of curiosity, the 230 hybrid target bullets have a higher bc than the otm tactical, (.743 vs. .713), so why not use them? I know neither one are really recommended for hunting, are the tactical better? Just asking, I really don't know. thanks, Dan
