Lmao. Ima go shoot some prairie dogs, to practice up for my long range chicken hunt!

I’ll take a 308 over an 06 every day of the week. The difference is less than 200 fps for same weight bullets. You have the perfect setup for that trip. Enjoy! Last year I took a nice fat Missouri White Tail with a TC Contender at 135 yds. 30-30, 14” barrel, 125 gr HH at about 2000 fps...

Not really. Bears are predominantly scavengers, feeding off of carcases. In addition to prickly pears, acorns, etc. But not likely to drive them to kill live cattle. However, some bears have been known to take down live cattle, it is generally the exception.

“It aint broke, but we’ll fix it until it is!”

Tighter headspace is my guess on that one,72. Maybe higher chamber pressures, but I’m leaning towards the headspace thing until you find otherwise.

Well, friends, here it is. 130 gr HH over 35.0 gr of CFE 223. Shooting about an inch at 100. Took it on my deer hunt and knocked down this pretty respectable buck at 128 yds. Somehow, (not typical of my history) I hit both lungs and his heart. He bolted and ran maybe 40 yards and gave up...

Whatever lathe you buy, do yourself the biggest favor, and get some barstock to practice with first, even some brass to begin with for the forgiveness. Chuck a drillbit in your tailstock, spin the roundstock in the head and punch holes deep enough to thread, chamber, and headspace until you...

I ended up with the 130 gr shock hammers, and i have some nosler 125’s to try as well. It’s a rifle season, in Missouri, from a blind, so I’ll take a long gun along if things are out of my handgun range. Thank you for your info!

Well, we’ll see what it looks like through a chrono and how far it carries some energy, but I’m hoping for 200 yds or so on deer.

Wow, that is impressive. Thank you very much! Time to get to work!

Most likely the 130gr shock hammer or the 143g lever hammer. The heaviest bullets they recommend for a 14” twist. Funny because I don’t own a lever 30-30.

Also have Leverevolution and Superformance powder !

IF my only option for a sidearm in bear country (lower 48) was a 9mm, I’d stuff it full of these Seismic rounds. 185 gr at about 1000 fps. https://seismicammo.com/9mm-ammunition/ Thankfully my sidearm choices start with a 4.

Greetings from Az, friends! I have a Contender Super 14 30-30, looking for any advice from anybody that’s loaded for it, particularly with Hammer Bullets. I was so impressed with them in my 358 Norma that I can’t hardly steer away from them. Ive got Varget, H4350, H4831, cfr223, and probably...

They also own Vitavohurri if I’m not mistaken.
