Not necessarily I wear a set of pro ears that have a noise cancelling circuit. It amplifies all sounds I can hear deer munching acorns 50 meters away, while dampening any noise above 80db. I shoot a Weatherby 338/378 with a brake and I can tell U it is loud but with my electronic ear muffs it...

I have a 300 Weatherby. My buddy has a 300 Weatherby in a custom Sako. He gave me his once fired brass from the 300 Weatherby Sako. I full length resized this brass, and reloaded them. When I tried to fit these reloaded full length resized brass into my 300 Weatherby, the rounds would not...

I am a 20 year US military retiree and in most of the states I was stationed in, that state allowed me to hunt as a resident. Something to do with the soldiers and sailors relief act. and or they just extended me the courtesy to hunt as a resident. Now I have never hunted Alaska but I can...

I have a High Grade Oliver Winchester 30/30 lever rifle. It is beautiful and shoots good enough to be a keeper. With the new powder and FTX bullets from Hornady this weapon is approaching 308 performance , which is important as I live and hunt in the interior of Northern B.C. Canada. I have a...

I live in Canada and have not had the opportunity to kill hogs. I do however own a Weatherby SVE in 22/250. I load it with 52grain Burgers and I have cratered a railroad steel plate used to anchor railroad rails to the ties. The craters were 3/8ths of an inch deep and about 1/2 inch across at...

well if it were whitesh and like snot it was not LSA

The solvent was issued to us from the armory when we would finish at the range. Now it may not have been LSA but it sounds darn familar for some reason.

LSA sounds very familar. It came in 1 quart OD containers with a screw cap and I do believe these containers had the milspec number or stock number written on and the letters LSA.

I shoot a 300 Weatherby in Lazermark and a 338/378 Weatherby in Accumark. I handload for both rifles and the 300 Weatherby shoots .5" at 100 all day long and the 338/378 shoots .435" at 100 5 shot group. Both rifles are fired off a bench with nothing more than a rear sandbag and a elchepo...

Go to your eye doctor for the correct answer and preferably a doctor that is familar with recoil and possible damage to the eyes from same. Your search...

I spoke with my gun salesmen last week and he said, "We have to carefully inspect every Remingtom that comes into this shop from the factory. We have found many many flaws that should never have left the factory. These flaws include fail to fire, fail to extract and eject, sights both front and...

gun)gun)gun)I know this is an old post but I am going to add my two cents worth as there are a lot of us on here that shoot these rifles, Try 2 grains over max of RE-25 (107gr) for a MV of 3146. with 225gr TTSX (tipped) Good accurate load in ny gun shooting off a sturdy bench and 6-9inch...

I shoot both. 190gr Burgers in my 300 Weatherby, accurate like stink 3moa at 400 measured meters all day long. In my 338/378 Weatherby Mag I shoot TTSX 225gr and I am getting .435MOA at 100 meters 4 shot group. 300gr Burgers shoot about .75MOA in this rifle. My advice to you is shoot what every...
