Did you mean target bullets? Or some other bullet?

I know this is a different bullet and also 2 different animals but I had the same experience a couple years ago. 28 Nosler 140gr Nosler E-Tips Antelope at 250 yards blew lungs up and half of heart was gone. But I did have an exit wound. 1 week later, Bull Elk 470 yards just behind the left...

Did you shoot him while he was playing with friends in a mud-puddle!?!? That is just mean! Haha. I really just wanted to say “that is a pretty gun you got there!”

Probably said/mentioned but GLOCK says to NOT use Buffalo Bore ammo. Their barrels do not have a “fully supported chamber”. Oddly (or odd to me) they directed me to lone wolf manufacturing for one of their barrels. I have the G23 .40 S&W. I dont know if you have shot them or not but I can feel...

So look here, other than the 155 Hammers, most everything I have tried over 150’s have required a tighter twist than most factory barrels come with. Now I was trying a set up with a 7 RUM with a factory barrel and could not get good groups at all. I went with 140 and 150 Nosler E-Tips and did...

So you are getting some really good info! And honestly o matter what you decide when you put a brake on any if these mentioned you will be getting hit with something around a .243–25-06. I am no fan of the 6.5 especially if you are going to elk hunt also. But people have really good arguments...

Girlfriend selection! Haha! But also like an 80’s fad which has been a 6.5 model for way too long. Haha

Thanks for all the input everyone!

So, This probably isnt even worth me taking the time to write it as it was probably the wrong way to do things. But maybe someone can tell me that and why also. I have done 2 this way: Buy the Rem 700 action on a place like gunbroker ($350) Get a McGowan barrel (or who ever you choose) I got one...

Hi! I am looking at Rem 700 actions to put my new Mcgowan 28 Nosler barrel on. What is/is there a difference between the carbon steel, stainless steel or blued action? I really dont know the difference other than the price which is a difference of $50-$80.00. Thanks!

I used a small freezer and generator when I went to colorado in 2017. Carried a quartered wlk and a processed antelope. Good luck on your hunt!

You can get just an action on gunbroker dot com. You can also get a good used gun on there. There are a lot of places that make barrels. ER Shaw is one of the cheaper ones but good. I use McGowen. You can get a barrel from them depending on what you have done to it from about $250-1000+. Talk...

First time I hunted in Colorado before I moved there we went and visited my cousins father in laws camp. It was SW Colorado 2nd season and the daily temps were hitting mid 60’s. Lows in the 30’s. He had killed nice little 2pt. It was hanging there on a beam between 2 trees wrapped in a blue...

Sorry about the spelling. Dyslexic thumbs.
