    What gun did you want that was never made ?

    5.7x28 in a bolt action for no reason just seems like it would be fun.

    .25 cal varmint rifle

    My rifle has a 24" lilja on it with a long throat. I was really into it about 10 years ago and shot 75s alot at 3150fps, 85s at 3050, 100s at 2750, and 110gr at 2700. I slowed it down to 2950 with the 87gr tnt now. I have used most h335 and the canister equivalent WC844. AA2200 gave the...

    .25 cal varmint rifle

    I have a 25-223 and a 25-06AI currently. The 25-223 has killed lots and lots of pdogs. 25-06AI is more of a big game rifle but has cut several jackrabbits in half and blown some big holes in coyotes. Look into the 25-223 it performs well brass is cheap, primers are available and would push...

    How Much energy is too little?

    Shot a cow elk in the brain point blank with a 32acp and a 60gr Winchester silver tip with a huge 125 foot pounds ......of course I had already shot her with a 280 remington she was done just wasnt dead yet. Killing is easy getting the bullet in the right spot is the hard part.

    I'd be happy with that for sure. I have been meaning to test those in my 20" bolt gun.

    ELD X

    I shot a cow elk at a bit over 500 with a 230 eldx from my 338L worked great I'd do it again. I prefer sub 250s in my 338L but I don't have a 30" barrel either.

    SOLD/EXPIRED Nosler 280 AI brass (2nds)

    376 pieces of new Nosler 280AI pulled seconds. There are dings and dents but lots of useable brass. It is clean, no primers, and has been annealed. I thought I was going to be able to push the shoulder back and neck it down for my 25-06AI but that hasn't worked out for me. $250 Shipped for...

    165gr Tipped Gamekings?

    Recently got a very nice Sendero chambered in 7mm STW. Im not really certain what I'll be doing with this rifle but I do live in elk country. I have used tipped Gamekings before in a high velocity 6mm and liked the results as far as accuracy and dead animals. Curious if anyone has tested the...

    Copper projectile for elk/ western hunting?

    I have shot a lot of stuff with copper bullets and definitely prefer them for my high velocity guns. Although in my 300blk and 6.8spc Barnes have done really well also Suppressors in the timber I like short barrels 20" or less in the desert I don't mind 26" + the can

    Hunting with a Modern Sporting Rifle Opinions

    I have shot a lot of stuff with ARs. I really like them for hunting purposes. I have used 300 blackouts and 6.8s for big game. An 11.3" 6.8 with a can makes for a great deer killer. I have a 338 federal gas gun also just haven't hunted with it yet.
