It is my opinion that too many people underestimate the smaller cartridges while at the same time overestimating the larger ones. There are just too many variables to consider. I know by experience that a 55 grain bullet from .223 will drop a deer as if struck by lightning at 100 yards and that...

I have always had an opinion that if I bought I should use it. I have killed big game animals with just about every caliber under the sun and I have witnessed some very strange things. I once shot a mule deer with a 7mag. and the bullet entered just behind the left front shoulder quartering...

I built a half MOA .300 win. on a factory (untrued) model 70 action. The FNH SPR rifle is based on the pre 64 style model 70 action as well, so I would have to recommend it without hesitation.

I have yet to find a remington 700 that shoots as good as its price point. I have even had senderos and light varmints and none of them shot under 1 MOA with handloads, bedding, trigger work, etc.. I have had winchesters and savage rifles that would shoot half MOA right out of the box using...

I have owned more rifles than I can recall over the years, I guess a gun has to be very exceptional for me to get all sappy and develope an emotional attatchment to it. No remington that I have ever owned was up to the task in the accuracy department and I even tried the senderos and the light...

Mine is a custom built rifle. I find it to be a much less expensive route when you buy a stripped upper, lower, barrel, etc., and build it your way. That way you also know every last spring, screw, etc. is of the quality that you want because you actually purchased it for the build. Every time I...

I personally have an AR built with many SI Defense components and I also know many others that do as well. Personally I cannot find any reason to go with anything else. I have had it for a couple of years now and it has performed flawlessly round after round. I will be building another using...

No one. It was worth a try. He makes other bullets as well, but he doesn't list a B.C. on the other 30. cal or the .338. I will contact him for some information. Looks like the best way to find out more about about these bullets is to try them. The web sight is at customprojectile.com...

Previously polled a "plan to get one", well I got one. Custom built on S.I. defense lower. 16", quad rail adjustable gas block, CAR stock, hogue grip, magpul vertical fore grip, flip up front and rear sights, viper strike fire scope, surefire Z2 combat light, and to top it all off, a laser...

Leica rangefinder Ipod-still playing with softwares. There is always something better. Right? I have a pact pro chronograph that really needs to be put down, but it so young. I just haven't brought myself to the point of doing it. I have a GPS, but I didn't check the box because I...

Agreed. The cold bore shot is the important one, but that is, in a small part, why so many of us here have invested so much time, money, blood, sweat, etc., into our rifles. We seak out any way to improve them. I would say that most end up with a synth. stock, floated barrel, bedded action, and...

Short answer. If your rifle is fairly accurate already, say 1-1 1/2" at 100 yards it would not be practical to change it for 100-400 yard hunting. It will be very capable for deer and elk.

Nice buck! I noticed that you didn't post any pics of your buck or the specs. of your suburban such as grains, velocity, etc..

It seems to me that you have it all pretty much sorted out. Now you just have the age old problem of settling on the exact cartridge. Not that I use a .270 currently, but the first 13 big game animals that I harvested were with a .270. In fact I had a savage laminated stocked .270 that...
