Hello All, Friend got his hands for the first time on some Berger VLD Hunting bullets in 185 gn and did some testing with various powders. This was at 100meters/109 yds with a strong head wind: Three shot with a mean velocity of 3,100fps Rifle is a Sako 75 De Luxe with a 62cm/24.4" barrel...

Congrats!!! Great well written account!!! Most has been said and I second the opinion that you should try to get your children involved so they don't have to wait until they are 41 to enjoy hunting ;-) Best for 2021!

And the Mauser M 18 is made in Germany (where Porsches -among other things- come from) ;-)

Hello All, Late to the tread so I read the eleven pages rather quickly. Apparently no one mentioned the Mauser M 18. For $429.- I don't think you can find a better rifle. I can attest to its quality and accuracy. Barrels made at the same factory that manufactures Sauers and Blasers. Adjustable...

Hello Sam, Don't know what your budget is but have you considered a Mauser M 18? https://bit.ly/3g9pQ0m You do state that you want a barrel threaded from the factory, but the M 18 has its barrel threaded into the action so it can be easily unscrewed and set into a lathe to have it threaded. I...

Differences are very slight!

Hello, just found this in www.shootingillustrated.com https://bit.ly/3ghLDms : "First of all, the headspacing on most 7.62 NATO chambers will run 0.006 to 0.010 inch longer than their sporting rifle counterparts, to allow for proper feeding and ejection during repeated, rapid firing. Combine...

Hello Guys, Lots of interesting info here but what about helping the OP with his quest for a Subsonic Load for his .30-30?

Bonjour Gawpp and welcome to the forum, You could start by "googling": .30-30 Win subsonic loads There is a lot of information out there. I also think you don't need to 'discover' what powder is in the ammo you are using, you just need to find the proper combination with the components you can...

What a great story!!! JC

The first thing I taught my boys to pack when going out hunting was a small roll of TP! I have what could be considered vintage TP in one of my back packs. Always there! JC P.S. my "best" experiences have been alongside a stream and with some overhanging branches to hold on to :-)

Hello wesg93, I'd bet on copper fouling. You don't mention doing a proper brake in of the barrel which would have implied several copper fouling removals. You should start by the simplest which is a proper cleaning and then, if that doesn't solve the problem, go on to the more "expensive"...
